I wrote a few months ago about those invitation-only shopping sites, like
Rue La La,
Haute Look,
Gilt Groupe and
Ideeli. Most of these sites give you a $10 credit for each person you referred to the site that ends up making a purchase.
Ideeli.com gives you a
$25 credit. Ideeli is also my favorite of the invitation-only sites because it features designers I like (today for example? Pucci shoes!) that quite often are under $100. It has been popular with you guys, too, because in no time flat, I found myself with a $75 Ideeli credit.
I waited around until I found a sale I liked and finally used it on these amazing sandals by
Lovely People. They were originally something like $159, on sale for $64, and with $10 shipping, my total came to $74. Which means it was 100% free.
