Steps:
1) Enter the 20% Promo Code (using the Online Promo Code, not the bar code number) before the checkout payment info page (as stated by mbx1). From what I understand the 20% promo code is pretty generic and can be used for any Amex cardholders and not a one time off code. I've tried another user account and it seems to work. Not sure if I should share the promo code in public but feel free to send me a pm if you want to try the 20% code.
2) As stated by mbx1, at the last payment info checkout page, enter the 11 digit bar code number plus the 6 digit code as the pin and in total you get 20% off plus the $50 off. The $50 off is a gift card and can only be used once.

Thank you, that works. Also, as another poster "BenSenise" stated earlier "they have thus extended to 20% offer validity to the 23rd (or 24th, i can't remember what she said.) just use the same code."......I was able to stack the 20% Promo + the $50 off.

The $50 off worked fine.
$120 regular priced items, $65 off "on sale" discounts, and $50 off came to $18.23

Just wondering if anyone has had their order ship on this deal. I ordered online on Sunday and my order status is still "processing." My card has not been charged yet either. Maybe I'm being impatient but most online shops that I use charge the card the same day and ship within 48 hours. Just curious about other people's experience.

Sporting Life's not the GAP that's for sure. Order Friday, receive Tuesday.
SL didn't anticipate the demand IMO. I spent $5 over $50, wonder how many other did as well, probably won't see this promo next year!

I placed my order on Friday afternoon and as of now it is showing as "processing". The charge has not appeared on my Amex account yet.
I hope they don't end up cancelling the order and not allowing me to use the $50 credit.

Ordered a week ago and still "processing". Pretty bad service and a mucked promo if you want to bring in new customers!! I got my Amazon order in less than a week with ground shipping.

charge just showed up on my amex card now, late on nov 27, with a posting date of nov 25. maybe they were just inundated with higher than usual volume but that would have been planned for in a properly conceived marketing plan, no?
i thought the whole idea of a promotion was to gain new customers. but since i'm not so impressed with their service, i'm not so sure i would want to order from them again.

Terrible company - a week after I placed my order, I just received an email that an item I ordered is Out of Stock, and would I like to reply by email to substitute an item?
How can you launch an e-commerce site without real-time stock checking at checkout. Even worse, it takes you a WEEK to notify someone an item is out of stock?
Well, I'll never be your customer again.
