Best Price for Pochantas and National Treasure?
Maybe this question has already been answered in a different thread. In any case, can someone please let me know the best brick & mortar store price for Pochantas SE and also National Treasure?? Thanks

Pocahontas is disappointingly high, $19.99 at most of the usual places like Best Buy, Target, etc. It was posted somewhere that Sears (of all places) may have it for $15.99, but I'm waiting to see some actual confirmation of that.

BB has Pocahontas for $19.99 but also offers 10,000 Reward Zone points with purchase. So that gives you 12,000 points for Pocahontas, 3,000 shy of a $5 certificate. Not a great deal, but makes some sense if you do a lot of purchases at BB.
National Treasure is $16.99 at BB, and Good Guys (West coast retailer) has it advertised for $14.99. So got the price match there and the bonus disc (woo-hoo).
Costco apparently has them for $18.29 each (thanks, as always, blade!)

Circuit City has National Treasure for $14.99. I got mine at Best Buy with the bonus disc and PM'ed it to CC's price.
FYE has Pocahontas for $19.99 + Tax - $5 MIR.

Of late it's getting a little old hearing about people pricematching stuff at BB when key competitors do not have advertised prices. Such as National Treasure.
My Best Buy requires a copy of the ad and the price in the ad - which coincides with their written policy.
So this one-off stuff seems just like bragging about beating the system rather than being helpful to the majority of us.

bring in the ad and have them call the store if they want. You can also bring in a website printout to back up your claim if you want

As mentioned in a previous topic post, $11.95 for National Treasure at Ultimate Electronics (limit one, also includes a $5 giftcard for future use),
I took in the $5 GC I got when they previously promo'd The Incredibles at the same deal, so got "Treasure" for $6.95+ tx., plus have another $5 GC for the next deal. Nice!

I went to Ultimate Electronics today to get National Treasure and my store is going out of business. They are not getting any new dvds. They said 30 stores are going out of business, so if your store is one of them, they probably won't have it. I ended up getting it at wal-mart for $14.97.

However, I do take back the bit about the boasting stuff. If it worked for you on National Treasure it can work for others - particularly on how deceptive this specific ad was done.
BB and CC will generally only call if they want to check to see if someone has stock on a sale item. That's why their policy calls for an advertised price because if there is no advertised price they won't honor it - thus no reason to make a call no matter what the price is down the street.

To pricematch Pocahontas at Best Buy, the lady at BB called Sears for their price, but no one at Sears would answer the phone. So after 5 minutes, she hung up and wrote $14.99 down on the ticket and told me to take it to the front registers. She then looked at me and asked if that was the right price. I told her it was $15.99. She then said, ah forget about it.
So I got Pocahontas for $14.99 and got 10,000 RZ bonus points + 1,500.
As for National Treasure, pricematched at BB to get the Bonus DVD $14.99.
