Your really nice. I never moved to the side. Call me what you will or want. I was there fix the problem, if not get someone. If you move to the side your not high on there list.

The guy with the coupon. If I am not going to buy it and see someone looking I will give it to them. I also have at any given time 10% Lowes coupons on me. I hand those out when in line.

Re: Alice in Wonderland $10 Coupon (Now Alive!!!)

Best Buy shot me down using the $10 coupon on the 1-disk release, so I grabbed their ad, and went across the street to Target where they matched and applied the coupon. She studied both the ad and the coupon, but didn't even question that the combo was pictured on the coupon. $11.19 out the door. I'm usually all about the combo packs, but I just want to see this movie for as cheap as possible to see if I even like it.

I've NEVER had problems at Best Buy until recently.

And the ridiculous thing about it is that it's a completely LEGITIMATE coupon!! They can pull up the friggin' page for themselves on one of the umpteen working computers in the store! I just don't get why some retailers insist on shooting themselves in the foot over stuff like this... makes no sense...

Re: Alice in Wonderland $10 Coupon (Now Alive!!!)

I don't know, my coupon specifically stated it was good only for the combo. Disney doesn't need to do this and BB and Target have always been good to me, so I would feel wrong even trying it on the 1 disc because Disney might not pay.

From what I've read, some have said that they've taken a combo coupon in the past, so they should now. Getting away with it once doesn't make it right in my book.

Re: Alice in Wonderland $10 Coupon (Now Alive!!!)

Decided to try out the coupon on the dvd at Walmart. Pointed out to the cashier that it was for blu-ray, but she didn't care. I wasn't going to buy the movie after poor reviews, but for $7 ($4 more than a rental) why not?

Thanks for the coupon OP.

Come on people....whether or not the cashier takes the coupon doesn't mean you should be trying to use it for which it is not intended for in the first place (it's called fraud, and it states that right in the terms on the front of it).....and then if you DO decide to do that, maybe just keep it to yourself and have the decency not to go bragging all about it on the internet...

I swear, the more times I read posts from people "getting one over" on the store or Disney by buying the DVD or single BD version instead of the specified combo pack, the greater risk we run of these coupons being discontinued later on due to the continued abuse....

LOL, he's right though. The more these coupons are misused, the more chance we have of Disney discontinuing them.

It would be nice if they just reduced the MSRP on these overpriced blu-rays so we didn't need a $10 coupon to get a reasonable price!

I'm happy with $12.28 out the door for the combo pack and 32 bottles of water at BJ's.

Re: Alice in Wonderland $10 Coupon (Now Alive!!!)

ARRRRRRGGGG!!! At Costco today and tried to use the $10 off coupon. No luck. "Sorry, we don't take coupons printed on a home computer." Ok, whatever. I'm only spending $302 anyway so I understand you don't want to honor my valid $10 coupon. Whatever. I go to Best Buy. Wander around for a while browsing. Get up to the cashier and she says, "umm, this is a problem. We can't take printed coupons." WTF?! She claims someone falsified coupons for free playstations and a bunch of people walked off with free playstations. Well, geez, maybe perhaps someone should have looked into that before letting people walk away with them. I mean really, what ra-tard thinks there are coupons for FREE Playstations?! Well, they fooled our computer scanners even. Okay, impressive frauds, I get that. But this is from Disney lady! "Sorry," But then she whispers, "Wal-Mart will take them." Wink. Wink. Fine. I'll buy the other stuff I was going to buy here at Wal-Mart. Thank you. Walked out leaving a few DVD's and Blu Rays behind. Now I'm steaming and I also have three girls under the age of 11 in tow with me whom I have promised that we can watch Alice in Wonderland on Blu Ray tonight. Off to Wal-Mart. They took the coupon without a problem. In fact the checkout clerk wanted me to give her the web site for it as she thought she could use the coupon with her employee discount. I just told her to check on Disney Rewards web site. Hope she finds it. Moral of the story is staying away from Best Buy and Costco with future coupons.

Incidentally, don't suppose you have a link to those free Playstation 3 coupons?

Costco only ever take their own coupons and no one else's. I have to call bullshit on the whole free Playstation coupon. Best Buy has some very dumb people working there but they would have to be the braindead to believe there is a valid free Playstation coupon anywhere. Best thing to do is ask customer service beforehand if they will honor it before you waste time getting the item, standing in line, and then try to use it when you get ready to pay. Right off the bat if they say no, just go somewhere else. Saves everyone a lot of time and stress.

Re: Alice in Wonderland $10 Coupon (Now Alive!!!)

ALIVE AGAIN!!!! $14.99 @ Fry.com

http://www.frys.com/product/6243350

Now I can go back to Best Buy for pricematch.

Since it doesn't mention "after coupon" but its "after (instant) saving."

Whoever got it for $4.99 after $10 coupon then good for you but YMMV.

You must have a unique Best Buy that will pricematch to Fry's web site. Normally to do this you would need a printed ad. Now if it were in Fry's printed ad, I'd certainly try to get a price adjustment from Target. Has anyone checked Fry's in store price without coupon on the combo pack? I wouldn't be surprised to see it's still $24.99 and Fry's would probably refuse to PM their own website. So, this unfortunately only appears to be useful to people who don't have a $10 off coupon and want to order online with in-store pickup (shipping is high)... or if you have these magical fabled Best Buy stores that will PM a website w/o a printed ad.

Re: Alice in Wonderland $10 Coupon (Now Alive!!!)

Found a solution @ Best Buy Forum that most B&M stores won't honored both pm + mfr cpn even BB Teams said they should've accepted both. In this case, Melissa is in charge of dealing pricematch & coupons. So if you have any problem with your store, just contact her through private message via Best Buy Forum then she'll call the store to get it resolved.

Costco has the combo for around $25-$26, with a special offer of $10 off another Disney title.

OK greedy...sorry you can't handle being called out on your fraud and have to resort to deflecting criticism with an attempted change in subject....
You know, some of us actually appreciate these discount offers, use them as intended and would like to see them continue....and then there are those who give a damn about nothing but finding illegitimate ways to save a couple bucks....I'm guessing you and iNCREDiPiNOY would be great pals!
So keep right on boasting about it, and when Disney decides to stop with their coupons due to these continued abuses, at least we will know exactly who to blame...
