Gilt City has successfully maintained its aura of luxury over other daily deal sites. Many high end brands clamor to join their site, and consumers get the benefit of steep insider discounts on famous designers and brands. Want to know how you can get even better deals? 

  • Sign up for newsletters in your favorite categories. This way you’ll be the first to know when your favorite designer goes on sale, when a local event or restaurant has a special that you should know about, etc. You can always change the frequency of emails in your account.

  • When you log into your account, there’s a link on the right hand side that says “Special Offers”. The Special Offers link lists a bunch of deals you can apply to Gilt City’s offers.

  • Shop Gilt City’s annual Warehouse Sales in person. If you can make it to one of Gilt City’s annual two-day Warehouse Sale events, you’ll be able to snag goods at up to 90% off retail. They’re basically huge shopping parties - $10 will get you into a space with an onsite bar, refreshments, live music, and mini-spa services. This year, a few of the locations will be premiering Nissan’s Infiniti Q50s and attendees get to test-drive the car. Bring your credit card; cash will not be accepted here.

  • If you fly Virgin America a lot, join Gilt via Virgin America’s page, and earn Elevate points. The points you earn via the Elevate program will net you free flights with Virgin America and its partner airlines, including Singapore Airlines and Hawaii Airlines.

  • If you have a MasterCard credit card, you can get early access to exclusive Gilt City offers tailored to your location. The Los Angeles collection includes deals on a supperclub comedy show, tickets to A Taste Of Mexico, and discounts on Pilates classes.

  • Earn cash back via rebate programs such as Ebates, Mr. Rebates, and Big Crumbs. Get more in savings when you make your purchases through one of these programs, and get as much as 5% cashback. You can only purchase through one rebate program at a time.

  • Invite your friends to Gilt City to get 25% off your next purchase of $30 or more. If your friend signs up with the link, she’ll get 25% off her purchase as well.
