Old Navy, Gap & Banana Republic 30% off + Old Navy Weekly update

Before you print off a coupon from Old Navy Weekly this week, you might want to see if this will work.  I received an email from Old Navy and sister companies' Give and Get program.  It's an email for 30% off at Old Navy, Gap and Banana Republic valid until Sunday, 8/2.  The email is meant to be shared with friends through their website by submitting email addresses.  Since I don't know your email addresses, I will post the link to the email here.  Do not try to assign a non-profit because the Global Fund has already been selected.  If that doesn't work, another link for the same promotion was posted by Tara at dealseekingmom.com.  Here it is.

If you aren't shopping until after August 2, then you can use the coupons from Old Navy Weekly...
