Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale
Interesting thing tonight. The cashier earlier forgot to give me my BN card back and they called me about it. When I went back to pick it up I asked her how the Criterion sale had gone and she said: "Well, I thought very good, but yesterday we got this from corporate". And she showed the note to me which basically said to encourage/push sales of Criterions by any means (coupons, pointing them out, mentioning them, displaying them prominently throughout the store etc). So, I don't know. Read into that whatever you want I guess. Could just be a regional thing I guess.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale
The cashier tonight wouldn't let me make two transactions with two 5 dollar off coupons. However, she did allow me to purchase both BDs together while using one 5 dollar off coupon and one 15% off the entire purchase coupon. The total including tax was with a few cents of what I would have paid with two purchases using a 5 dollar off coupon with each one. One came to 11.05+tax and the other was 15.29+tax. The total came to 28.58 so I was pleased. I'll post my absolute final haul shortly.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale
Has anyone noticed that the sales reps are quite friendly and talkative, then when you show a coupon they almost do a 180 in demeanor. Haha. It's like you've dishonored them or something. I am not very good at being persistent, making demands, etc., but I found the best thing is to just smile and say, "I appreciate your help."

Why did I wait so long? I'm going on the last day for my haul if I'm rejected idk what to do. I don't want to punch out 20 each for Darjeeling and Thin Red line and Modern Times.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale
Got Yojimbo/Sanjuro bluray set for $27. Tried to get The Thin Red Line but they sold the one copy they had, so I'm going to use the library link and get it online.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale
I've had a much harder time using coupons during the sale this time around. During the summer sale, I started to get a lot more pushback but hopefully they'll start to think twice because it seems like they are selling less because of the stricter policy.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale
Just ordered The Thin Red Line and 8 1/2 off the website for $37 shipped. That's the best I could manage considering I couldn't find TTRL in store.
Still a great price considering those two films would be $62 shipped from Amazon. Anyway, that'll do me for this sale. Thanks for all the help guys! :) |

Interesting. Every time I have entered the movie section of my local B&N the cashier on duty has hawked the Criterion sale to me (with me silently grinning inside ... I know, oh yes, I know). Never had a problem making multiple visits/uses of the $5 coupon either. One cashier insists on carefully writing "VOID" across my coupons in Wes Anderson fashion, which makes me smile every time.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale
I went to two stores today to pick up a few Criterions at the last minute and had no trouble using coupons as long as it was one per transaction. In fact, at both stores an employee offered me the 15% off coupon.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale
My final tally:
Seven Samurai - $17.50 plus tax Walkabout - $13 plus tax The Seventh Seal - $13 plus tax M - $13 plus tax The Red Shoes - $13 plus tax Charade - $13 plus tax Black Narcissus - $13 plus tax Kagemusha - $13 plus tax Breathless - $13 plus tax Red Desert - $13 plus tax The Thin Red Line - $13 plus tax The Magician - $13 plus tax Paths of Glory - $19.99 plus tax The Darjeeling Limited - $18 plus tax Night of the Hunter - $17.50 plus tax Modern Times - $13 plus tax Night Train to Munich - $13.50 plus tax Ordered Paths online to get my free membership going and didn't have a coupon with me when I saw Darjeeling, but 14/16 on $5 coupon can't be sneezed at. Especially since I didn't pay a dime for my membership, yet. |

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale
So today was the last day? I paid for the stupid membership and didn't get to take advantage of any these deals. I'm saddened.

Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale
So is this sale truly done?
http://btobproductsearch.barnesandno...linkid=1642992 Its showing 40% off for me still and when I added Night of the Hunter to my cart it allowed the new 30% off coupon to be applied. Just curious what others luck is on this. |
Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale
It won't let me click on any other link on that page without bringing up some sort of error page, so i'm guessing it's kaput
Edit: Nevermind, guess that it works and can actually checkout with it. What oh What criterion should I order? |
Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale
Link to 40 percent coupon so I can get Thin Red Line. i need that and Darjeeling Limited pretty badly. Their my most needed criterions right now
|
Re: Barnes & Noble Criterion Sale
Well its already at 40% off retail so the 30% off goes towards the sale price of course.
The coupon code can be found in LASERMOVIES thread here |
