Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
If you stood there with 30 coupons, 30 items, 1 account and 1 Credit Card with a clerk that would scan any piece of paper you handed -- then the discount would be applied automatically on 30 items though I'm not sure it would apply twice in the same transaction without a manual override -- again assuming this coupon works like all other coupons of this type have in the past.
I'm not trying to argue here. Just trying to get a better understanding of how the coupon works and how to get the best of it!

So you're saying because the code presented is generic, you're able to print out and use as many copies as you want until it expires? Seems unlikely that I'd be able to print out 7 coupons and buy 7 items and receive 30% off from each item all in one fluid transaction.

I've gotten these to work two and three times before, and I've used seven or so of the individual code coupons in one transaction. This will be my first week where I attempt a lot of them, as my mother and wife have already given me my Christmas money to buy Criterions for them to put under the tree.
I plan on heading out today to pick up the gift certificates (to get $10 free for each $75 I spend), so that I don't have to do that over the crazy shopping weekend. I'm going to print out a copy of the coupon and hopefully my friendly manager is there and I can go ahead and ask him if he'll let me use it multiple times, and stress to him that I'll probably be buying quite a few of them.

Last year, for instance, she realised on the third item that the code was the same each time and just started typing it in for every item to save time....
...one year after using the "same" coupon five times, I had a manager called over; he eventually agreed that if I "had" (i.e. had printed) X coupons, logically I was allowed them. It could easily have gone the other way, but I got lucky.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I would never stand there and do that because if this clerk has a strict manager, he is very likely to end up in hot water once the manager looks at all the purchases and notices the repetition. The next time you walk in that nice clerk may be less accomodating to lenient purchases. People have also gotten themselves flagged as a coupon abuser for doing similar things and ?? blocked from the store or even had their accounts blocked -- it's rare, but it is possible.
A couple here, a couple there, split up the items, go back a second day, if you have multiple stores use that, and always try to stay invisible is the best way if you are shopping BN longer term. Even last year with the 40% code I think I used it 4 times total, certainly not much more than that.
As some people have stated, if the manager was the one doing it for them and was quite happy is processing sales so I'd be more aggressive there particularly if we've had a longer relationship.

What I do is keep my piles of discs/coupons well-stacked, and anytime someone lines up behind me I let them queue-jump and make their transaction before I continue. Ironically, this actually gave me brownie points with the cashier, because it seems polite!
Not tying up the desk completely when I could have seemed generous enough that they thanked me afterwards..

They CAN override it, and they may to combine the percentage and x off X xoupons... but they have been advised not to.
I think the system allows two coupons to be scanned for an order containing two items without override, but I'm not certain. Even that might require an override.
Lastly, on one occasion the cashier scanned five itema and manually took the (then-)20% off them all - simply to save time. One transaction of five items was quicker than five separate ones near closing time.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
The coupon thing is really pretty ridiculous when you get down to it. Cheap criterions is the only reason for me to even consider shopping at Barnes & Noble.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
There may be a couple of other online coupons. There is a $10 off a $75 purchase, and a $20 off a $100 purchase online codes that could get activated Monday with the CM coupon.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Would anybody have any spare coupons they're willing to donate? I'm at the store at the time of writing this reply and I see a couple of titles I'd love to have. Thanks in advance!

Many thanks again to Laser Movies and hariseldon for always providing all of us with the coupon codes!

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I tallied up my summer sale buys and I had 25 single titles and 3 large box sets. That's got to be the most I've ever indulged in one of these sales. And that was only because I was (1) able to use coupons on every transaction and (2) able to throw stuff up on Amazon and get quick money to subsidize most of those impulse purchases.
I've still got books and other stuff up on Amazon, but they don't move nearly as well as the DVDs and Bds did. The loss of that as a subsidy will definitely be impacting my buying going forward.
