For those who are not familiar with Gymbucks, for every $50 purchase made at Gymboree, Gymboree.com or a Gymboree outlet, you will receive a $25 coupon. The Gymbuck coupons are good for $25 off of a $50 purchase and are redeemed for merchandise at a later date. 
The earning period is typically three to four times longer than the earning period which makes it far easier to earn than redeem. The current earning period is now through July 11 and the redemption period is July 15-25.
Half of our survey respondents have not shopped Gymboree during the earning period and just under 43% have between $25 to $100 worth to spend in July.
Gymbucks are a great way to save money on your child’s wardrobe but be mindful that the total discount is less than 50% advertised when you consider the purchase you made to earn the Gymbucks in the first place.
It’s also easy to get caught in the over spending trap. Don’t buy during redemption just to use up all of your Gymbucks especially if your child’s drawers are already overflowing. It’s smart to make a plan for what you need to buy now and what you will use the coupons for later. If you can’t bear to let those precious savings expire, think of purchasing basics like undergarments, socks and pj’s for your kids to grow into. It’s also good to buy items that are on sale versus regular priced merchandise to get the most bang for your Gymbuck.
However you choose to earn and spend, do so responsibly.
