Re: Universal facebook five dollar coupon any BD
I could, but not sure if I would need to have the printer installed on my laptop (still getting used to the laptop). In any event I'm not sure how I would go about getting the coupons. I guess I would have to check my cookies or something to look for the specific URL as the direct link to the coupons

If its a brand new laptop, and an older printer, the printer should be recognized automatically. Even if it isn't automatically recognized, you can google the installer online from the manufacterer's website.

BestBuy.com has it that cheap and I saw it for that price at FYE in-store. I'll probably go there since I have a Backstage Pass, so it'll be even cheaper.

Re: Universal facebook five dollar coupon any BD
Guess I'll have to pass on this. I've never used Facebook before and don't ever plan to. I don't know how it works nor do I know what "being their friend" means nor do I have the time to learn how Facebook works. I just know I hear about identity theft and people stealing information from that site, so I don't want to provide Facebook with my real info just to get 2 $5 off BD coupons. It would've been nice, but life goes on without... unless I can have an account there without my real info? (Somehow I doubt that as they specialize in collecting and storing people's personal info.)

Or just start an email account somewhere (ie gmail, yahoo) that is just for junk that you don't want in your regular email, that's what I do.

That's ridiculous. Like any database, they can only store the information that people provide. I use Facebook to keep in touch with some of my nieces and nephews and the only information FB has is my name and an email address. I am amazed at the amount of info folks put on FB but that's the users' fault. If you don't want your personal info stolen at FB then don't put it online and don't share it with every person that asks for it.

I just picked up The Last Starfighter for $10 at Best Buy. The cute cashier girl first had to match their website price, which required a manager to come over and authorize. Then he and she both looked at the coupon and she stated that it may not work, scanned it and it did not, so they manually entered it with no hesitation. He just made sure to tell her to save the coupon so they could send it in to the studio.

I didn't even have any proof with me of the website price. Just told her that it was and that the guy in the music/movies department confirmed it for me (which he did).
What I'm smacking myself for now is, not only did I forget to have her scan my RZ card, but I also forgot about the $10 GC I had in my wallet.

She said it may not work because they just adjusted the price to match the website, but then proceeded to manually accept it anyway. I thought that was odd, but nice.

As for the $10 GC, I think that has to include tax (i.e a $9.99 BD won't work as the $10 GC 'includes' tax).

The coupon was taken off after tax. I was charged the tax on $14.99. Is that normally how it works? As for the GC, I'll just save it for Avatar.

Re: Universal facebook five dollar coupon any BD
Went to a different Best Buy and used my second coupon I printed with Scropion King Blu. $14.99-5 = $9.99! No problems. Also priced matched walmart.com for Collector at $16 which shocked me since they usually give me issues with a .com print out lately.

Re: Universal facebook five dollar coupon any BD
Here's a compiled list of Best Buy Universal Blu-rays you can use with the coupon for final purchase cost from $4.99-$10.99 before tax. (Tax is total cost before coupon applied.)

Re: Universal facebook five dollar coupon any BD
Well I think technically it would work that way since Best Buy has just been manually removing $5, until Best Buy tried to get their money back from Universal and Universal gives them the finger for accepting photocopied coupons.

I filled in all the information, voted, declared myself a fan, etc., but can't get the coupon to appear. All it does is ask me to verify my information and opens a new window each time. It even acknowledges I've cast my vote, but no coupon appears.

They know you are not a REAL fan and that you are doing this just for the coupon.

Re: Universal facebook five dollar coupon any BD
So no one has had a problem at BB with this? I don't have an immediate need for this, but I plan to use it on Apollo 13 next week and Leap Year (5/4). I just wanted to know if the cashiers were taking the coupons or if they were calling the managers and giving people are hard time about whether or not they knew they could accept it.
