Gaga for Gold Card Tuesday's at BeautyFirst

I've been a devoted member for almost a year of BeautyFirst's First Priority Rewards Gold Card program and thought it's about time I share the wealth on this moneysaver with those of you who shoot for the salon-quality goods, too.

While it seems like every retailer has its own rewards program these days, it also seems like you have to spend a boatload before you ever see a reward or save a buck.  Not so with the Gold Card program at BF!  The savings kick in IMMEDIATELY.

I was skeptical at first to join the program for the annual fee of $15, but when I realized I'd earn that money back and more on my first purchase as a member, I was sold.  A liter of my Pureology shampoo and conditioner each cost roughly $60.  I was in need of BOTH at the time I signed up.  With the 20% enrollment discount, I saved about $24 on my purchase, which covered the cost of the enrollment fee just like that!

Now every time I need my Pureology, Dermalogica, yadda yadda yadda, I wait til "Gold Card Tuesdays".  These discount days are both the first and second Tuesdays of each and every month.  Members save 20% on nearly every item in the store....unlike stores like Ulta that have a long list of brands excluded from their discounts.  I haven't paid full price for my beauty products in almost a year, and with the expensive stuff, that is some huge savings!  Not to mention, members receive a $10 gift certificate every time your spending reaches $150.

As a First Priority Rewards Gold Card member, you can:

• Earn a $10 retail reward for every $150 you spend in-store on retail products.
• Receive 20% off your retail purchases upon enrollment.
• Receive 20% off on Gold Card Tuesdays each month (visit your local BeautyFirst for details).
• Receive exclusive member notifications and savings offers.
• An annual, non-refundable membership fee of $15 applies.
