I can't stand when people make these blanket statements. Just today I used the coupon for all of the DC comics blu-rays that are....wait for it....ON SALE !!!
I understand that some stores may not allow it. But qualify it and say at YOUR store those can't be used on sale prices. I never, ever, never, not once have been refused the use of the 10% off coupons on a sale item. Not once. Never. The computer AUTOMATICALLY deducts the 10%. No CSR override needed.
So by you making the blanket statement, someone may not even try to use the coupon and lose out on that 10% savings.

I just saw in the ad that if you buy any 2 new TV on DVD (DVD or Blu-Ray) releases this week, you get a $5 Best Buy Gift card. That works for me since I was planning on getting Dexter Season 3 and The Simpsons Season 11 on Tuesday.
$6.99 DVDs
2-disc Special Edition DVDs for $9.99
$14.99 DVDs

Comparison thread done. Looks like Best Buy is cheapest on Hannah Montana: The Movie 1 disc SD and BD, Last House on the Left SD and BD, Pete's Dragon: High Flying Edition only if you buy Hannah Montana: The Movie as well, The Simpsons Season 12 either packaging, Gossip Girl Season 2, Sons of Anarchy Season 1 SD and BD, and Greek: Chapter 3. Basically, they are cheapest on pretty much every new release this week.

Re: Best Buy Prices: 8/16 - 8/22
This may be a stupid question, but if I price match season three of Dexter on blu-ray at Best Buy against the Target ad (Target has it for $36.99, BB has it for $39.99), and bought it together with Sons of Anarchy, would I still get the $5 gift card or would that offer be void because of the price matching?

Does Best Buy post their weekly ad on the website anymore? All I can find is a long term ad or a phone ad, not the regular Sunday ad.

All I am saying is post your experience rather than making a general blanket statement that it doesn't work preventing some poor schmuck from even trying. What is the worst that could happen?? The 19 year old CSR says I can't take this??

When these coupons 1st started coming out, I believe there was a glitch that allowed the 10% off to be taken off sale prices. However, at least from my experience, that glitch has been fixed and it won't take it off sale prices.
If you attempt to buy a TV on DVD set that's say on sale for $24.99, but the sticker says $43.99, you will be charged the sticker price and have $4.40 taken off.

For anyone curious about the exclusive packaging for Dexter: Season 3, it's just a clear/red slipcase.

Re: Best Buy Prices: 8/16 - 8/22
I went ahead and bought True Blood: The Complete First Season on Blu-Ray for $39.99, minus $10.00 off in Reward Zone certificates I had. So, around $32.50 with tax, out the door! Very good deal. I love this show!
