When I looked at the Simon website today, there was a disclaimer at the top that they’re experiencing high demand. Lower discount will slow orders from folks like us.

Did Simon lower the discount rates last year around this time? My daughter is approaching 2 years old, so flights costs are about to increase by 50% for me.

There is rarely a month that you cannot get 45-50% off all fees
There are also other promo's with larger discounts but only off purchase fees so these are usually worse
My rule is not to buy the low end deals as Simon will price at what the market will bear

This is one of the longest stretches of lower-end deals, I'd say. There is a disclaimer on the website saying orders are running behind (although that wasn't my personal experience) so I presume they don't believe that they have to incentivize sales right now.

It's now been about a month where we haven't seen anything better than 35%. Would have purchased around $200k through them in this time frame but have done $0. Luckily have found other cheaper albeit time consuming ways to achieve the same amount of spend. There's certainly some premium i'm willing to pay for the convenience of going through Simon, but it's not as much as they're asking for right now.

Merry Christmas all!
I've been reading and studying these threads for a few weeks now. Do all Simons malls offer GC in person?
I'm planning to hit the Seattle Premium Outlets in WA in the new year, but it's a long drive for me so if anyone had reasons for me to not bother, it would save me the trip.
