The one thing that would be better about the Macy's card is if the website allowed for the extra discount. Other sites typically allow the "extra discounts when using the store card" stacked on top of the general offers, but Macys.com never does. Things like that Michael Kors suit would have been just under $150 if it were allowed.
The other thing is that the website and in store always have some significant differences. I bought two of the same dress shirts (the Calvin Klein STEEL brand) online, and they were marked down to $50 each, with no additional discounts. In the store they were 40% off of retail ($70 regular retail, so that discount right there made them nearly $10 cheaper than the Macy's site did), plus the extra 20% off. I'm just going to return the ones I bought online, unless they're willing to do a price match/adjustment.
Re: Express polos. The quality of the fitted ones seems to be much better than the standard express polo. I wear mediums, but in the standard polo I used to always have to wear a t-shirt/v-neck underneath, as it would still feel too baggy on me. These are a perfect fit without any undershirt whatsoever (though I do typically wear at least an A-shirt underneath). I've purchase four, but honesty may wind up going back to get a few more for the price point. I'm looking at getting a few of the Lauren custom fits when budget allows, but my previous Express polos have held up well (much better than the 1MX shirts typically do...I have one polo that has last me since 2006, and if I hadn't lost weight it'd still be in rotation). Definitely worth it, IMO, if you are looking for a few polos/spring wear on the affordable side.
