first off let me say I really enjoy shopping at Tangler Outlets with my family. They have lots of variety to choose from, lots of areas to sit with shade and relax after a long day, also a section for your kids to play, many restaurants to eat and always kept clean. I Joined Tanger Outlets members club and it’s definitely worth it saves us time and money, I can stretch my buying power more further. The app makes the experience process so fast and easy to see your discounts and rewards, you can also upload your recipes to get points.

I’m a long time Tanger member and used to enjoy picking up my coupons or finding them online. Before the new annually paid membership, the now defunct “lifetime” membership had many more usable coupons, some which could be stacked with sales, surprise rewards, and even discounts to local venues outside the outlets.When they canceled the old program and started the new one, I was offered one free year of platinum status to compensate for my lost lifetime membership. Now that I have been using the new system for 4 months, I see less participating stores, and every time I try to use a coupon, they don’t work with any sale items. No more discounts at H&M, the Gap or Old Navy. Tanger is full of outlet stores- nearly everything is on sale, so these coupons that you pay a premium for are usually not honored. I am still shopping there so I’ve accumulated many points that don’t really earn anything except the honor to buy more unusable coupons. The old system used to give you store credit and gifts - things that motivated me to shop more.Moreover, the competitor Premium Outlets now has their old coupon books on the Simon website by signing up for a free membership.Charging people to use these coupons that premium outlets gives for free is not a smart move from Tanger. Unless Tanger increases the benefits of staying with its new program, it’s provably not worth renewing.

This makes it very convenient to shop and get rewarded. My only issue is that I went to can some receipts this morning, and it says the ScanDisk license has expired and to contact the app manufacturer, so I am unable to use the phone camera to take the pictures. Hopefully, that gets fixed soon.

Before this program was changed it was actually fun to see what the coupons would bring. Now there are too many stores that will not accept them and some are picky and choosy about WHICH ones they WILL ACCEPT. it’s really quite embarrassing, you know. Having to ask and getting turned down. This leaves the same stores time and time again that are happy to take the coupons, but for the customer, this program is not worth it any more. We even had one store where the employees actually told us that “The system is down”. 😡
