@Weng, I stopped at 6. I'm tempted to get more but I've convinced myself to stop, since I have never ordered from them and don't even know yet if I will like their stuff.

MemberI'm about to go in on my second one.
Won't you have to have a different email account for every even numbered credit purchase? Like, to get the referral credit it has to be a different email. Am I missing something? It also seems that if you have purchased 4 or 6 you might as well go in on another one since it's only an additional $5.

I had some difficulty at about 5 or so. I started having to use the same credit card for each account, and the referral credit stopped coming. Contacted customer service, they refused to give me credit for the ones that used the same credit card. So if you can, use different cards.
At this point I've got quite a lot of Bonobos credit... wondering what to spend it on! And yes, for the referral credit it needs to be a different e-mail. But if you want to just keep buying the coupons without the referral credit, you can use the same account.

MemberDon't worry, I think everyone is in the same boat. I didn't realize it until AFTER 3. The 4th and 5th worked though. Was angry too and was tempted to spend more to compensate, but decided to cut my "loses" and not lose sight of the money being used. $30 adds up quickly.

MemberWelp. It's definitely the card thing. Just worked on my American Express. I immediately got the kickback credit. For some reason my Discover card isn't working on their site at all. I'm all out of cards that work so I guess I'm stopping at 4. On the one hand I feel like I got burned by not knowing about the different card trick, but at the same time...it's still 60 for 30.

MemberGuys, you're abusing the referral system. This is exactly why Bonobos stopped offering an automated referral system on their own website. Creating multiple accounts to gain referral credit is dishonest in that it goes against the intent of the referral system.

Member@bruschetta - i'm KINDA with you here. I stopped at 2, and didn't have a conscience about it because my gf bought one of them on her card as a "Vday present". That said, this is really Fab.com's fault. They say one per customer, but they are not honoring it.
I'm surprised Bonobos hasn't caught on to this yet and shut down the sale. Their markup is so high, that they're probably still making money off of this. I really hope that once they do catch onto this it doesn't mean the end of their couponing experiement. That said, I'm not sure they could survive without it as I imagine a large portion of their business comes throug people shopping there at a discount (as does all retail, but especially a company still establishing themselves).
I'm considering buying more now because I told several of my friends about this sale and have racked up $100 in Fab.com points. I can't imagine what I would ever use those on besides this deal.
