Assume that all of these are available to all customers unless specifically listed as member only like the Welcome Package. Also remember that any preliminary codes are just that and BN could pull it, change the details or exclusions anything prior to release so always a bit of YMMV until the final release date

Mini FAQ
Free Shipping is $25 (before tax/shipping) or with membership.
Max 3 GC on a single online order.
Online only a single code can be applied to an order
Return period is 14 days after delivery (possibly 30 days for members though I've never tried)
Online ordered items can returned to a local store unless it's classified as a web-only item then it's at the store's discretion to accept
The long standing Free 60 day Trial Offer was discontinued in late May 2016

This looks to be the same type coupon as the BNWILD that just expired except it doesn't have a barcode yet. There are 2 different links to the same thing so I'm not sure if one will disappear at some point or be updated next week with a full in-store barcode.

By forcing them to input the code manually that usually is the same technique.

The 20% is still an excellent deal unless you're in one of the 10 stores that have the 30% coupon through Friday
Yeah, I must have been thinking of the $39.99 in regards to the penny. Not sure what brought up the requirements prompt then.

It's even easier to do it online. You can see if your local store has it in-stock, and then request a reservation. Once it's been successfully pulled, you'll get an e-mail/text message.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off

Final purchase on this round of the Criterion sale - got 'New World' for $15.70 after tax, with the use of a $8 off $40 coupon. Thanks for all the help with the coupons, Hariseldon - annual membership fee was compensated for with total savings on this sale.

David Lean Directs Noel Coward blu ray box set shows as available in store or from 3rd parties. Not available from bn.com. The DVD version still available online.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off

I think I'm down for one more trip to the two stores near me for maybe 6 titles. I forgot about New World coming out. I hope it will still be available at one of those stores. I'd actually be surprised if it wasn't, although it seems there has been more traffic in the last couple of sales.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off

Is there a resounding Yes to Chaplin's 'The Kid' ? Might consider it as a final candidate but a 53 min feature shouldn't have been regularly priced.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off

I had some issues using coupons yesterday. The first store I visited immediately said the 20% coupon wouldn't work on Criterion titles and that they were told not to even try. At first, he didn't want to even try the 5 off 50, but he finally did. It still worked. I didn't even try the 20% coupon at the second store. When I gave my 5 off 50 coupon there, the cashier specifically asked if I got that coupon with my membership. I of course said yes, and it wasn't an issue.

One slight annoyance yesterday. At the first store, I asked if New World was in stock. He looked it up and told me it was already sold out there and at the other store. I decided to special order it to lock in the sale price and membership discount. When I got to the second store, there still was one copy left. Argh!

Oh, one more slight annoyance. I ended up buying one title that I already had. I seem to do that once per sale now. Stupid. I'm trying to figure out what to do with it because I don't feel like making the hour drive to exchange it.

What was the title? Maybe someone here will take it off your hands.

Certified Copy. I would be happy to arrange a trade or a deal for another member here.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off

Barnes and Noble is testing a new concept book store which includes a full service restaurant which will serve beer. The first store will open in Eastchester NY in October which had been a Borders Book Store to be followed by locations in Edina, Minnesota; Folsom, California, and Loudon, Virginia. Nice to know they are still opening new stores.

From a local Eastchester NY newspaper

EASTCHESTER - Come October, residents in the Lower Hudson Valley will be able to get a drink, grab and bite and read a book — all in one place.

The Vernon Hills Shopping Center will be home to one of four Barnes & Noble "concept stores" that will serve beer and wine, a "unique and welcomed use of the premises," Town Supervisor Anthony Colavita said.

While Eastchester's store is slated to open first, in the former Borders location, it will be followed by locations in Edina, Minnesota; Folsom, California, and Loudon, Virginia.

The local store will have an assortment of books, expanded seating and open spaces for in-store events. It will have a full-service restaurant, which will serve alcohol. It will also have an outdoor space with elements such as a bocce court, fire pit and outdoor seating.
