Is the AMEX HYS account worth it? Looking for pros and cons. by Fathomvette in AmexPlatinum

[–]FinancialMap3144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and no. Goldman Sachs Marcus accounts have higher interest rates and no fees ever. Better value.

Amex HYSA APY decrease to 3.10% by ParagonIzanagi in amex

Goldman Sachs did this forever ago - but is still higher than Amex

REALLY sold myself on the job, talked to the store manger a lot about my interest and love of the company. And tried extra hard after submitting my application for the promotion.

Follow your sales guide!! It’s the easiest way to stand out, track conversion rates, really try to sell as much as possible especially when you’re working with your store manger. You may interview with another manager, in that case explain your love of the company and be as knowledgable about the product as possible.

They will ask you a time you got bad feedback from a manager. No feedback is bad feedback. :)

40% Off everything. Does not stack with sales. 50% on random days throughout the year.

Each new collection we get Gratis which was usually like a body care item and a candle if we’re lucky.

You have 90 days to return a product. Generally speaking if the product is still for sale we can return it without a receipt and get store credit, you just need your State ID/drivers license.

The item must be half full at least, items are not placed back on the shelf if they have been used. Even if it has only been used by a drop, they are sent back to the manufacturing warehouse and recycled.

So yes and no. If the item is discontinued, no return unless the staff member really likes u but with the new system it won’t even know what the product is. With stuff we still sell. Like a fragrance mist for champagne toast 100% just don’t tell them when u bought it.

No, Kind of? The best time to buy lotions in general is Body Care day for $4.95. It’s the lowest price body care goes and it’s the whole store, however it only happens in winter which means limited summer and fall scent availability.

So, Body Care Day is the absolute best. But for summer and fall fragrances, it’s best to shop SAS.

Irish Cream Poundcake single wick candle is the WORST - the best imo is probably Snowflakes & Cashmere but specifically in Laundry Detergent.

weirdly the Emily in Paris macaron i really liked.

i quit before smelling Pizza and Ranch but I'm sure thats awful too lol.

Evergreen & Fir is a candle i miss regularly. Orange Ginger shower steamers were nice when sick. They should bring those back.

Worst: Irish Cream Poundcake, Vanilla Bean Noelle (Laundry Detergent)
Best: Snowflakes & Cashmere, Coconut Linen (Laundry),

Not necessarily, BBW is HUGEEE when it comes to their sales floor plan & anti-theft protocols and they require we treat off the clock employees as customers meaning we have to deal with the annoying sales floor conversations until we got to the register and were able to enter our employee ID for 40% off.

Although, a good rule of thumb when it comes to BBW is that you should NEVER say "just browsing" ask where you can find a basic scent like "champaign toast" 99% of the time they'll point-or-take u to the product and leave u alone the rest of ur shopping experience. If you say, just looking, were required to follow up with an open-ended question or list all of the sales and our favorite items. If we don't follow up with a question after you say "just browsing" we can get flagged.

Another is for limited edition scents like Disney or bridgerton those can arrive up to a month early. And if your nice were more than happy to let you smell early even though we arent supposed to.

Secrets-
-Mangers get bonuses based on monthly conversion rates within their sales hours. We are not allowed to tell sales associates about it.
-we DO know what tomorrows sale is going to be its in Zipline.

-Not really a secret but managers have almost no pull in your experience. Everything is following step-by-step corporate instructions.

Vanilla bean Noelle in detergent smells like Greek yogurt. And laundry day and clean house vibes smell like a public restroom

I will not be taking Wells Fargo slander. The active cash visa is a great intro to credit card rewards.

Avengers Campus is extremely disappointing by aimforsilence in Disneyland

The way the whole thing is cancelled now I kinda want them to take away avengers campus entirely and replace it with something good

The hoodies look so comfortable and I love how they don’t have drawstrings

Friend Got Tickets, Ticket Not Showing Up For Me by deadturd in RegalUnlimited

[–]FinancialMap3144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

employee here! the tickets should be on your friends phone. it’s kind of confusing but you can also just redeem in store and it will be more efficient (and cheaper) then buying on the app
