Um, Where's the Additional 40% Off Sale & Free Shipping on Any Order J.Crew?

"Thanks!" to many of you, including Caitlin, WellFedFred, & iroar (in this post), as well as JCrewJD, who shared the following (& disappointing) update from J.Crew this morning.

J.Crew is running an offer for 40% off all final sale items (no min) and free shipping (no min!) with promo code LOVEIT. This offer expires today, Tuesday, July 26, 2011. (As stated in the image below.)

So why is it no longer available on JCrew.com? The sale section (click here to shop online) has a new image (as shown in the image at the top of the post) that removes any mention of the current promotion. Instead there is a new free shipping (on $175+) with promo code SHIP175 that expires Tuesday, August 2, 2011.

Now here's the weird part: the LOVEIT code still works!!! I just tried it on a mock checkout and sure enough it took off 40% and provided free shipping. So why is J.Crew trying to hide it?

Oh J.Crew! I really love this promo. It brought me back to shopping online. But removing it so it looks like it ended is weird. It's shady.

Did you notice that LOVEIT disappeared at JCrew.com? Will you be checking out the Sale section? Are there any items you are hoping to see or to get?
