is it better..

..to register for china at bbb or macys?

i already have my china picked out, but i feel like the woman at macys said that there was some sort of incentive and now i can't remember.

eta: right now, my china is the same price at both bbb and macys, but i feel like i saw a deal at macys that said it was buy one, get one free. maybe that was just a sale and it's over now?

Macy's does have a lot of incentives that come and go so it very well might've been a promotion. I registered more at BBB because they send out tons of 20% off one item coupons, accept more than one per purchase, and accept expired coupons.

They also give cash back on registry returns!

when i was registering it was cheaper at BBB than Macys...

I think both places have different things to offer... for example I am probably going to buy bedding at Macy's because I like their selection way better than BBB, but BBB has so many little things that we would love to register for!

Why not do both? Then again, I haven't looked at the China in Macy's yet...

You might get a better deal on China at macys...they have great sales, and also do promotions where the soup bowl comes free.

You can always do half at each place...

it's so funny that you just said that.

i just called macys and that's what they told me.

I registered for my china at BBB because they honor what ever sale is going on at Macy's plus the additional 20%.

That's how my FMIL bought my place settings.

Re: is it better..

BBB coupons dont work on my china set so i did it at Macy's to get the free bowl.

For the every day plates I put them on both because the prices were simliar when they have sales and I'll manage the registries when they are bought so I dont get 24 plates

Re: is it better..

Macys only had a sale buy one get one... My china was more expensive at Macy than BBB by almost $40.

I think BBB. They have a lot of the same stuff as Macys and will be cheaper. I know they don't have a lot of the stuff in the store but you can look through the catalog for things that can be ordered through the website. Also, I think more people get coupons for BBB.

Re: is it better..

BBB is always priced as the everyday low price so i'd register there not to mention i love that store

Re: is it better..

I registered my china on both websites and I go on and deducted when someone buys from each. Macys has amazing sales my china is $200 a place setting and it was on sale and buy one get one and it came down to 2 settings for $160....
Beats the 20% BBB coupon.
