If you love online sample sale sites, but absolutely loathe trying to keep track of all the sales, allow me to introduce you to MyNines.com, a genius website that rounds up allll the online samples sales happening every single day in one convenient place. Brilliant! Now you don't need to waste hours flipping from Gilt to Ruelala to ideeli, wondering who's launching L.A.M.B. at noon, when that Marc Jacobs sale starts or when your last chance to shop that Paige denim sale will be.
Here's how it works:
Create an account with MyNines.com and you'll gain instant access to all members-only sample sale sites. Talk about simplifying things! No more invites. One login. (Unless you want to make a purchase, in which case you'll have to create a profile with that merchant since MyNines is just a sort of middleman).
Now it's time to shop! You have two options (as I see it):
Option 1: Shop directly on MyNines.com at a select number of stores (including theOutnet.com, Reverse, and eBay Fashion Vault) by designer or category with the ability to sort by price, discount or sales ending soonest.
Option 2: Alternatively, you can head straight to the MyNine's Sample Sale Calendar where you can see all the sales from every merchant happening that day at a glance. Click on any sale to leave MyNines.com and go directly to the sample sale website where you can shop as you normally would.
Tips & Tricks: Subscribe to the MyNine's Sample Sale Calendar with Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple iCal and more so you never miss another sale again (that's what I did). Or, set up customized alerts to notify you whenever a designer or product you like goes on sale. Because really, all these sample sale sites are only a great deal if you hit the sales you want when they start. Otherwise, stalking sample sales can become a time-consuming chore, and wasted time is wasted money.
Another perk: Invite your friends to join MyNines and you'll earn cold, hard cash each time they make a purchase. Forget about credits! We're talking cash money you can spend on anything you want.
MyNines has been around a couple months now (if not longer) and while I didn't promote them at first, I think they've come a long way, worked out a lot of kinks and now offer a solid service. I'd like to see them improve the usability and appearance of the site (it's a tad dreary) and launch a slick iPhone app, too.
