Re: Target $5 off BD printable coupon

I went ahead and bought Watchmen and Star Trek for 15$ each today. I also bought Crank for $3.99 and Omega Man for $4.99 the other day.

I've noticed that if you purchase two or more Blu's with this coupon, even with seperate transactions, the coupon doesn't want to go through the second time. It happened to me with both Omega Man and Star Trek. Both times I got the employee to override it just fine, but I still find that odd.

Ah, I guess that's why it didn't scan when I bought Lock, Stock today. I bought it with Speed at the same time using two different coupons. I guess it would work fine for Lock, Stock if you were just using one coupon on just that then.

The signage on my store indicated it was on sale until 1/2/10.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll give it a shot tomorrow then.

I'm the same way. That idiotic practice actually kept me from purchasing some of the $3.99 titles over the weekend.

Re: Target $5 off BD printable coupon

Was rejected tonight because it wasn't Transformers. I pushed a bit, but the cashier wouldn't budge.

I was in a hurry, so didn't put up too big of a stink. I'll just go back another time and try again.

Here's my thing. Since the coupon is still scanning with most titles (which seem to be over a certain price point), why can't they just scan it if they're going to put up a stink? If the register takes it, then you should be entitled to the discount. If not, no harm no foul.

Clearly if it was just meant for Transformers it wouldn't take off anything.

Maybe I'm just lucky the cashier I had tonight was a cute young girl who was just seasonal help.

Re: Target $5 off BD printable coupon

Having read on other threads that other retailers may accept the Target $5 coupon, I decided to give it a try.

Went to Best Buy to pick up Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian on blu. In store price was $22.99, but bestbuy.com had it for $18.99. I requested the price match first. No problem. Then I asked if they would accept the Target coupon. He took a look at it, laughed and replied "I don't care" and manually overrode the price. Price out the door (no sales tax in Oregon) was $13.99.

Obviously this is a huge ymmv and I'm in this Best Buy a lot (having spent $1600 this year on media alone)...but it's worth an attempt.

I was going to try that if I was shot down at Target since Best Buy is right next door but I didn't know if they still accepted competitor's coupons.

Yeah this makes me mad too. The cashier I went to tonight said that it was for Transformers 2. Lucky she looked closer when I told her it said it was for any Blu-ray and she ended up scanning it. But that sucks for those that can't get the cashier to just understand it's for any blu-ray. Like you said they could just scan it anyway to just see.

No, the number of times the coupon is used in a single transaction does not matter.

The price of the BD does not matter.

It is simply random whether or not the coupon automatically scans/applies to a BD. It is probably that all BDs at Target are not coded in their system as BDs.

I've used 4 coupons in a single transaction, they all scanned fine, and two of the titles were the $8.99 sale titles.

I scanned RD on Sunday to see if it was still on sale for $8.99. Alas, it scanned for $12 at my local Target.

Usual Suspects
T3
Bullitt
Predator
May have been mentioned up-thread, but I also saw Gothika, Wild Bunch, Terminator, Kill Bill volumes 1 and 2, and Body Heat for $9.99.

Thanks to the OP for the link and this thread. Picked up my first BD today, Wild Bunch for $4.99. Coupon didn't scan, and the cashier kind of did a double-take at the T2 picture, but he quickly over-rode and gave me the discount.

Were these 9.99 before the coupon? I thought they were marked 14.99 or 19.99 at my store. I would jump on these for 4.99 after coupon.

Target refused to honor my printout from walmart.com showing their $15.32 price... I figured it was worth a shot to try though...

By that logic, it wouldn't want to go through at all anymore and only would've worked the very first time it was ever used by anyone in the world.

The coupon and cash register don't know who you are and if it's your second time using it or not.

Both were marked at $9.99. Neither were available at both Targets I visited.

Wow. Nice deal. They were marked at 14.99 at my store, and I thought I got a fine deal on them (9.99 after coupon).

Re: Target $5 off BD printable coupon

i picked up angels & demons and terminator salvation for $15 each. it was kind of strange though. terminator salvation went fine coupon scanned and everything. my girlfriend was getting angels & demons at another register with another coupon and that scanned but said "item not available" and cashier argued it had to be transformers 2, i asked for manager and she took off the $5 manually. there were a couple other blus i wanted will probably go back today after work.

Re: Target $5 off BD printable coupon

I really don't understand why anyone would think this coupon is ONLY meant for TF2 just because it is pictured as the one "example" title on the coupon....if the coupon was only meant for TF2, it would specifically say so....saying this coupon is only valid for TF2 just because it is pictured on it despite the verbiage clearly meaning any BD purchase over $5 is like saying the "15% off Microsoft computer accessory" coupon is only valid for the one specific mouse they have pictured on that coupon, or the "10% off iPod player" coupon is only valid for the iPod Touch they have pictured on that coupon....

I'd suggest anyone who is getting grief when trying to use this coupon also print out and carry one of those two coupons I just mentioned and point this out to the associate/manager when they want to claim it is only for TF2....

Re: Target $5 off BD printable coupon

I just spoke with a customer service person at Target. she talked to her manager and they said that this coupon is supposed to be for all Blu-ray, but it's completely the store's discretion on how they interpet the coupon's wording. She said that she was going to be sending me several very generic blu-ray coupons that would not cause any confusion at the stores.
