Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2 - Page 5

davron · 08-25-08, 02:39 AM

Is anybody else having problems with the coupons at the front page? Because last night I went through EVERYONE and it kept telling me that the coupon is not valid with this purchase and all I ever buy from them is dvd's.

I removed some coupons today that had just expired but the other ones on the active list were working when I tested them a short time ago. You might want to disclose a little more information on what happened. Do you have a B&N membership and tried using the coupons through one of the links posted on the front page? There does seem to be a problem with coupons working with memberships through the links. However there were also a few reported problems using one of the 20% off codes, but otherwise most of the coupons were working through the normal B&N website.

1 Yes I'm a member and 2) I then click on the Visa link for the 10% and from there I go and put my item I'm wanting in my basket and checkout and 3) I then copy and paste the coupon code in the box. I went through every valid code up to and NOT past today's date in the box and everyone said the same thing "this coupon is not valid with this purchase" or something to that effect.

Thanks that explains it. B&N did something recently so coupons will no longer work for members through the Visa, Military, and AAA links. Believe it or not only a non-member can use a coupon through Visa and the other links now. You either need to order through the regular B&N.com web site with your membership, or set up a non-member account to go through the Visa link to use coupons. We started a conversation on this subject starting at post #92 you may want to check out.

Watson2 · 08-25-08, 06:01 PM

The non-member method is best for items 10% off because I could never get the % VISA discount as a member. For items with a greater than 10% member discount you have to determine what's better free shipping or XX% discount. I think I got that right?

Edit: I guess that XX% should be XX-10 (or 5 if/when VISA drops back), where XX is the members discount.

Edit2: (XX-10)-NMC, don't forget that non-member coupon. Confused yet, I am?

BN.com cashback via Live.com is now over 15% - add that in with the current 40% off sale, Visa link or member discount, 20% off coupon and you can get some very good deals (Like the Seinfeld collection). Some other very high cash back amounts via other sites (most have just recently increased).

How can one use the visa link and also go through Live.com can that be done if so how?

Thanks

Three Stooges v3 dropped to 30% again. Just ordered it for $13.30 shipped with Visa link and 20% discount (and used a gift card to boot!) Unfortunately couldn't use the live.com link since I needed to get free shipping since it was a cheap title. But I'll take advantage of that 15% deal later...

You can't. You need to pick whatever is worth more to you. If it is a title that would qualify for free shipping without the visa link, then live.com would be a greater savings (granted, you'd have to wait longer to get the cash back).

The Office S4 is at 30% off now as well, in case anyone is looking for suggestions...

I just tried to order the Seinfeld collection through Live.com using the 15% coupon after i placed the order and went back to my Live.com account and saw i got no cashback. Is it because i'm not a member or you can't use a coupon when your using Live.com. Am i doing something wrong. Help!!!

It took five days for my B&N cashback to appear online, while my Deep Discount orders were credited immediately. You didn't do anything wrong, Barnes & Noble is just slow to report the sale to Live.com.

I deleted my post pretty quickly after I posted it. You were fast! I'm not sure what my problem was. I was getting rejected for both 20% coupons. But I did get them to work seconds after I posted that, and deleted my post shortly thereafter...

I'm glad you said that. My credit didn't appear right away either, so thought I screwed something up since DD credit showed right away...

kenbenobi · 08-28-08, 11:58 PM

Darn, I just tried to squeeze in one more order through the 10% off Visa link, but it's dead. I'm sure it will be back, but only at 5% of course...

It's still showing up as 10% at this link, but not sure for how much longer since it is due to expire very soon.

Although your link takes me to B&N, I'm not getting 10% off (or ANY discount for that matter, not even free shipping) through it... Oh well, not a big deal. I didn't really need this extra item anyway... I've ordered enough lately. Thanks for trying, though. I'm betting that link is where the REDEEM NOW link takes you? Apparently you can't access that link without first going through the other page. You probably accessed it properly on your computer before the link went dead, so you're set until you close your browser (I would assume)...

LASERMOVIES · 08-29-08, 01:01 AM

Weird it's still giving me 10% off in my cart.

I tried 3 different browsers just to make sure. No discounts, no free shipping, and not even a reference to Visa whatsoever...

LASERMOVIES · 08-29-08, 01:20 AM

It's probably because I have had my browser open all day that it's still showing up for me tonight. When I try a different browser I'm not seeing anything either.

mcfly · 08-29-08, 01:36 AM

Worked for me a couple of hours ago when I ordered the two Turtles sets.

Must have ended at midnight EST.

LASERMOVIES · 08-29-08, 01:45 AM

Well if anyone hasn't closed their browser before the Visa deal ended they could give the link I posted a try.

kenbenobi · 09-01-08, 10:25 PM

FYI, I noticed the NNCS link is giving 10% off until Sept. 8. But I couldn't get any coupons to work in conjunction with it, so it doesn't really make it a good deal...
