I've passed up many Senior Day events at Belk Department Store, even though I am over 55. I just can't get over being called a "senior." But I need new clothes for an upcoming vacation and the idea of getting an extra 20 percent off "all" sale and clearance purchases is enticing.

But it's not as simple as it sounds. First, you have to have your Belk Rewards Card. Don't know how hard it is to get one. If you don't have one you get 15 percent off all sale and clearance purchases.

Funny how the word "all" is in the fine print. Here's the offer.

*If you're 55 or older, take an extra 20 percent off storewide, or 15 percent off in our home & shoes departments with your Belk Rewards Card. Get 15 percent off storewide or 10 percent off home & shoes with any other form of payment, on your sale & clearance purchases

*Only excludes Red Dot, Earlybirds, Night Owls, Doorbusters, Bonus Bulys, Everyday Value, Assets, b.tempt'd, BCBG, Ladies' Better Swimwear, Brighton, Burberry, Casio Cosmetics/Fragrances, Coach Dansko, designer sunglasses, Donna Karan/DKNY, Ed Hardy, Eileen Fisher, Free People, Lacoste, Lucky, Ladies Designer & Contemporary Sportswear & Dresses, St. John, Stuart Weitzman, Citizens of Humanity, Cole Haan, Columbia, Donald J Pliner, Dooney & Bourke, Ferragamo, Furla, Joe's Jeans, Juicy Couture, Kate Spade, Keen, Vineyard Vines, Joseph Abboud, Hanky Panky, Hugo Boss, Hickey Freeman, Hart Schaffner Marx, Austin Reed, Levi's Dockers, Lilly Pulitzer, Mattel, Merrell, Munro, Nautica, Not your Daughter's Jeans, Ralph Lauren/Polo, Seven for All Mankind, Spanx, Tommy Bahama, Ugg, Wacoal, Ladies', Kids' and Men's Designer Shoes, Designer Handbags, small electrics, fine jewelry watches, gifts, trunk shows and service plans: non-merchandise dept., lease depts. and Belk gift cards. Not valid on prior purchases, phone or special orders. Cannot be redeemed for cash, credit or refund, used in combination with any other discount or coupon offer or on belk.com.

That's a lot of exceptions to the sale.

It's not a fun shopping day. It's just a frustrating day.
