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

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale 2017!
Agree,Criterion may put out some nice product.But no way are they worth $40 to most media buyers.They are over priced if B@N and Criterion.com both have A half off sale twice A year.And it kind of sucks not having A B@N close to my house.
I do own quiet A few Criterion's,but I hardly buy any more these days.
Limit funds.I have A bunch I still need to watch.I had three disc go bad.Sure they replaced them,but A gc to cover the shipping would have been nice.
Bought from Amazon
Woman of the Year and Two Lane Blacktop for $18 each.
Nothing from B@N this time.Plan to buy Ghost World down the road.

I'm up to 65 titles during this sale.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale 2017!
I'm guessing they had far more Criterion inventory left at the end of the sale this time with the drastic change in coupon policy.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale 2017!
They must have sent out a blistering internal e-mail within the last week.
A few days ago, I was able to argue that the wording of my coupon (rejected by the website) was applicable and get the friendly phone support person to manually apply the discount for me. Today, three people told me in no uncertain terms (but with different emphases and arbitrary bonus conditions) that absolutely no coupons are eligible on top of 'Promotions' no matter the terms or wording or anything. (Also, teo of the three said specifically that no coupons are allowed on any item that is already discounted... which I queried, as all their prices are typically discounted. I think that was misleadingly-communicated information.)
Why send a coupon that can't be used on some items? But, accepting that there are reasons for that, the ineligibles should be heavily flagged on coupon AND website, not hidden or omitted.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale 2017! NEXT ONE?
Any guesses as to next sale? Great Criterion box set of 100 Years of Olympic Films comes out early December. It costs a lot tho worth it. $400 list price.
I could afford it at 50% off!

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale 2017!
Got an email yesterday saying the sale has been extended. Now I know it was previously announce through the 14th, but found it odd they sent another email noting this with only one day left remaining in the sale.
Does anyone know if it's been extended past the 14th?

Now that coupons are all but banned during the Criterion sales, the sale is simply not as intriguing. Declining store inventory doesn't help my interest much either.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale 2017!
I never bothered with the coupons. Half off was sufficient for me to drop some coin and support both a B&M retailer (I like going to the Oak Brook location) and to support Criterion themselves.
Though I may still be sitting this one out as my job situation is still up in the air.

+1000 to this. $20 + tax for a Criterion Blu-ray is a very solid value in my opinion. I've never understood the obsession with trying to squeeze more discount from the store by (ab)using coupons.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale 2017!
And I will hand them my coupons like normal. If they don't apply, I'll buy what I have in my hand for $18ea and if they do apply automatically that's even better.
If the LETSREAD coupon applies so much the better for those that have to order online. The coupon is listed online at their own website so nothing underhanded about it.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale 2017!
The only titles I want are the November releases, so I couldn't get the coupon to work even if there is a small window.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale 2017!
I let my B&N membership lapse this year, as I never got much value out of it beyond the Criterion sales. I don't buy enough Criterions these days to justify the membership cost, particularly when Criterion has its own 50% off flash sales. Shutting down the coupons gave me a reason to let it go. Not a bad thing, since I have plenty of Criterions from past sales still in shrink-wrap waiting to be watched.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale 2017!
The only one I’d like to pick up is Ghost World but it’s not really worth buying just one title because by the time shipping is added I could basically get it from Amazon for only a little more. I’d consider the Coen Brothers films but they’d be double dips anyways.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale 2017!
My cashier force the coupon through for my copy of Vampyr, but stated they can no longer be used during the Criterion sales. I told her I would no longer be buying the membership, but thanked her for accepting the coupon.
