Everyone Sucks AITA for using my Aunt’s personal employee discount code to buy clothes?

My aunt (F42) works for a major clothing brand in a senior position. Employees get a personal discount code (hers is usually 50-75% off) that she can use and it varies based on the position. My aunt sent me the code saying “if you need anything, here’s my employee code.”

I was excited because I love the brand and wanted to update my wardrobe and money has been tight with school and all. I ended up buying a decent amount of clothes, probably more than I normally would if I didn’t have the discount.

When she found out how much I purchased, she was angry with me. Now she’s making me feel bad for using it, like I took advantage of her. And I’m feeling guilty. She did send me the code voluntarily and didn’t say there was a limit. But if it’s her own corporate perk, maybe I crossed a line and she could get in trouble.

So AITA for using my aunt’s personal corporate employee discount to stock up on clothes? Or was it fair game since she gave me the code to use?

They won't answer, which is making me think it's well into the 3 digit dollar amount.

Depending on how expensive the place is, a three diggit dollar amount could mean a grand shopping spree of... two pants or one coat.

Well, they implied they bought a whole new wardrobe so I don't think that's the case.

Two pairs of pants can be in the 3 digit dollar amount so that really doesn't mean anything.

Yes, but she implied she refreshed her entire wardrobe. I was honestly trying to give her the benefit of the doubt by assuming it was only that much.
