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
Coupons should not work for PREORDERS , Nook, Legos, Rosetta Stone, Digital, Gift Cards, Memberships, etc. There are glitches where sometimes an excluded item will be allowed but assume that is the exception to the rule
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


STORE ONLY 15% OFF Coupons -- Unknown if multi-use or if will work on 40% Off Items
15% OFF Single Item Exp 12/31/2017 (I)
15% OFF Single Item Exp 12/31/2017 (II)
15% OFF Single Item Exp ?? (III)

20% Off Single Item Online

-- Unknown Expiration. Could be 11/24 or it could be Dec 31 exp

Store Only Coupon
25% Off One Item
coupon is valid at Barnes & Noble stores from November 24, 2017 to November 26, 2017 at close of business.

ONLINE ONLY
GIVETHANKS
valid 11/23 through 11/26 -- I'm guessing ending 11:59pm PT though it's possible they'll stop it ET and start a Cybermonday code


DAYMAKER 20% off $50 or more
Expires November 22, 2017 at 11:59pm Eastern Time.




Some possible upcoming codes
TAKEFIVE

"New Member" Welcome Coupons
Welcome coupons may be dead -- or at least the type that have been available for nearly a decade. The latest set now have what appears to be single use codes so these probably no longer will be generic/multiple use style.

I'm literally running out of shelf space. I need to figure what I could dump, I can't add more shelves in our small place.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale 2017!

Since they don't offer the free membership anymore I'm going to wait until the middle of the sale to buy the membership use it for summer/fall/summer and then wait for the next sale and do winter/summer/winter. 3 sales justifies the membership. Gotta squeeze every dime now that coupons are a no go.

I'll be picking up:

The Before Trilogy
They Live By Night
Straw Dogs
The Lodger
Lost In America
Ghost World
Stalker
Rumble Fish
Being There
Buena Vista Social Club
Blow Up
Fox and his Friends
His Girl Friday
Kes
The Exterminating Angel
Mildred Pierce.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale 2017!

The membership thing is too much like Prime for me; I wouldn't use it enough to get value.

This for me also. Although I am reconsidering a Prime membership. I find I'm making the vast majority of book purchases from Amazon as their prices are substantially lower than B&N even with a coupon.

I get B&N non-member coupons (15% mostly, but sometimes 20% off, 25% rarely) every so often, but the past few years I've been buying so little stuff from B&N. It doesn't make any sense to pay them X amount of dollars per year for the privilege of paying them a little less on a rare occasion. B&N isn't a warehouse club offering me substantial discounts for being a member.

Now and then I buy a magazine at B&N and I'd probably buy more if coupons would apply to them, but they're always an exclusion.. although I don't think they always were. Occasionally, I'll find a collectable at some considerable discount on a clearance table. Sometimes a coupon will be good for them and that will push me to make the buy.

What time do these sales typically go live?

Any idea why the VACATION code would work on a couple items in my cart but not on "Blood Simple"?

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale 2017!

I get the same message, too. It worked fine for "Yi Yi" and "Ghost World. But, of course, there's no indication that it will work during the sale.

Edited to add that the vacation code isn't working, but titles are slowly being updated to its sale price.

Ordered:

Straw Dogs

Ghost World

VACATION code did work for Ghost World ($4 off), but didn't apply to the other two titles.
