$5 Rango Coupon-Now Active
 
www.rangocoupon.com


If you can get Best Buy to take this coupon along with their own $5 off of $14.99 coupon, this can be had for $9.99.:)

That would be sweet if you could use this with the other $5 coupon.

Plus, BestBuy just sent me the same link in an email. Now I have two $5 off Rango coupons with different dotscan bar codes that both say "Limit One Coupon Per Customer".

Can someone please post a scan or PDF of the coupon? Lots of us are having a hard time installing the coupone printer. Thanks in advance!

The coupons each print with a unique barcode, so you can't copy them.

Received my Best Buy email with the coupon.

I'm only interested if I can tack on the other BB $5.00 off coupon, as well. Under $10 is my magic pricepoint...!

I love how someone will always ask if you can combine coupons at BB. We all should know the answer by now: technically <Bold>no</Bold> and for most people (especially me) combining coupons won't work, but we also know at least 1 person somewhere in the country will be successful doing this because the cashier will do it or override it.

If one goes to BB expecting to use both coupons, go in expecting failure, and if you get lucky be happy. I'm not going to try. Insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result. Fortunately I'm not yet insane. I will say I've had no problem using the $5 off $14.99 BD coupons each time I've tried, but that has only been twice as there are few BD titles that are worth even $9.99 to me (let alone more).

For me it's not the using of two coupons, it's the pricepoint.

$15 for Rango: not interested and will not buy
$9.99 or less for Rango: interested and likely to buy

Totally agree that $10 or less is a good price point, especially for new releases and especially for Rango which has mixed reviews, but to think that BB will allow both coupons requires a lot of hope and luck getting one of those special cashiers who will allow it. If I tried (which I won't) I'd go in expecting a 1% chance of success.

Hailey G 07-13-11 11:51 AM

Re: $5 Rango Coupon-Now Active
 
It depends on the person you get, obviously, but it can be done. Manufactrer's coupons are a form of payment, so if they're gonna accept the 5 dollar Best Buy coupon, paying for the other $15 with say $10 cash and a $5 manufactrer's coupon shouldn't be any different than paying $15 cash (Assuming of course that your store has no problems with accepting manufacturer's coupons in general, I've never had a problem with them at any of the stores in my area).

In fact, I once purchased a $40 video game at Best Buy (which was already on sale) with a $20 Manufacturer's coupon and a $10 Best Buy coupon (which specifcally stated it was not good for sale prices, and I'm pretty sure both coupons said not to be combined with any other offer). I went in fully expecting to be shot down and I told the cashier right up front, "There's not any way I can use both of these together, can I?", and she was just like "Sure, no problem.", and I walked out with it for 9.99 plus tax.

Re: $5 Rango Coupon-Now Active
 
Oops, I just got email confirmation from Amazon that they shipped my Rango (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD) for $14.99 with free Prime shipping. I forgot I even pre-ordered it with the $5 off coupon code weeks ago and did not cancel it when shipping time came. Guess that means I won't be trying to find a retail deal for it now, after all.

MovieFanatic81 07-15-11 12:50 PM

Re: $5 Rango Coupon-Now Active
 
I tried printing the coupon and even did as they said. and yet they said they can't have it print out the coupon for some reason. but to instead have it mailed to me in the mail. What up with that? That happen to anyone else?

Re: $5 Rango Coupon-Now Active
 
As I shared in the $5 BB coupon thread: Lucked out today at a store where I wasn't as familiar with the cashiers...was able to use the $5 BB coupon (which I handed over first, without revealing my second coupon yet) and then the $5 Rango coupon to get Rango for $10.74 out the door...my favorite kind of cashier; one who knows how to enter coupons and who doesn't care. Whoo!

MovieFanatic81 07-15-11 01:35 PM

Re: $5 Rango Coupon-Now Active
 
Since I can't get the damn coupon to print, I said the hell with it. and I'm gonna order it from Amazon for 14.99 with their promo instead. They gotta make everything so difficult and force people to go else where for things.

Was able to use the $5 Rango Coupon and the $5 Best Buy Coupon. I'm so glad I've moved and have a new Best Buy, where they don't refuse my coupons.

I had a ridiculous time as well, first for whatever reason it woudn't work with firefox at home even though it's supposed to... so I tried at work and I had to reroute my computer to the appropriate printer (w IT's help)... my backup was to just order from Amz. It finally worked... I used my $5 reward zone points, so $11 and change out the door. Not bad.

Does it matter what order that they put the coupons in at BB??? Couldn't get the Rango coupon to take, saw her type in the $5 discount, but nothing happened, and I didn't feel like dealing with it tonight, will go back tomorrow.

Indio 07-16-11 11:58 AM

Re: $5 Rango Coupon-Now Active
 
I was successful using the Rango $5 and the BB $5 coupon with the same transaction. The Rango coupon wouldn't scan and had to be overidden. Nobody questioned the use of both coupons.

You need to scan the $5 blu-ray coupon first & then they will use the $5 Rango coupon on that end. It probably won't scan so they will take off $5 using the Manufacturer Coupon button at the end. Please note that in most states, you will pay $14.99 + Tax - $5 from manufacturer's coupon.

That's exactly what she did, saw her scan the BB coupon, and then put in the Rango one at the end, input the $5 Rango coupon, and hit total, where the package prices come up, she OK's those, and the total came up. Weird, I used two other $5 coupons on the other BLUs I was purchasing, and those subtracted as well. The receipt has The Fighter BLU sku, but a $0 subtract, but I saw her enter $5. Weird. Will give it one more go today, but if it doesn't work, will still keep Rango, as it's a very good price for an opening week Blu-ray.

Thanks for the info.

Did Best Buy start taking coupons off of an iPhone or other smartphones? Also, is RANGO still on sale tomorrow? And when are the USA/SyFy shows on sale until? Thanks in advance...

Hit the local BB, and used both the Rango $5 and the other $5 off BD coupon.
Out the door for $9.99 + tax

wOOt....!

JediJones 07-16-11 02:26 PM

Re: $5 Rango Coupon-Now Active
 
I got coupon-blocked at the first Best Buy I tried. I handed her both and she started to say I don't know if we can take both of these, then called a manager. She asked him the question different ways like 5 times and neither he seemed to understand what she was saying nor her understand what he was saying. But she eventually said, "I thought so" and then told she couldn't take both coupons.

So I declined to purchase and went to another Best Buy today. I handed the cashier the Best Buy coupon first and she quickly entered it. Then she asked if I had a Reward Zone card and I handed her my card and showed her the other coupon. She punched in my membership number and the $5 off for the other coupon with no hesitation. Sweet.

That'sAllFolks 07-17-11 08:19 AM

Re: $5 Rango Coupon-Now Active
 
used six $5 coupons and the Rango coupon on one transaction. No problems.

My Best Buy used to be assholes, but in the last few years have become much more customer-friendly. I've spent more there in the last month that the last 3 years combined.

Manzana 07-18-11 09:14 AM

Re: $5 Rango Coupon-Now Active
 
I didn't even try to get Rango at BB... too many past negative experiences with using coupons there (let alone 2 on the same item), though I've had no problems with the $5 off $14.99 one. If I were to try 2 coupons in 1 transaction and the cashier let it go through, they'd have to call paramedics to take me away from fainting.

I knew that many people would have success doing both coupons, but when you have enough bad BB experiences as I have had over the years, you reach a point of finding other alternatives (which fortunately there are) that don't involve BB. I'd love for the stores in my area to change and become like most other stores in the country (as apparently That'sAllFolks' stores have changed), but I don't expect that in my area. And how would I know unless I keep trying periodically and letting them deny me again? I prefer to avoid that aggravation.

Manzana has a fair gripe. Heck, I've been to 3 different BB stores trying to get this coupon to take like other people are getting. I must be a masochist because I'm going to try a fourth store tomorrow since I have something else to get there, but come on, there has to be some consistency in how their stores handle these coupons. Being that the Rango $5 coupon is a manufacturer's coupon, BB loses nothing above and beyond their own $5 coupon that they are allowing on $14.99+up movies anyway. For any store manager like the ones from the 3 stores I've been to say that they can't allow both coupons is just pure baloney.

It's not a fair gripe, and it doesn't belong in this forum.

Sure, some of us have gotten them to use the $5 off $14.99 coupon on sale items, but it very clearly is not supposed to be honored on sale items.

Also, both that coupon and the Rango coupon (I imagine) clearly state that each coupon can not be combined with any other offer, which includes sale prices.

Sure, it works sometimes, but instead of bitching when they follow the clear rules we should be thankful for the times they erroneously give us the discount(s).

I completely agree with RonBoster. Your critical comments (good or bad) are best reserved for the store forum. As for whether anyone would read them or not...that's where they clearly belong.

Justified or not, Manzana has created a track record of bogging down deals threads with store complaints. After a lengthy debate on the topic, he was finally asked in the future to take those complaints to the store forum.

Manzana 07-19-11 11:26 AM

Re: $5 Rango Coupon-Now Active
 
I tried sending a PM to Mao for clarification, but he doesn't allow PMs. Below is what I tried to send (hopefully he'll see it here):

Hi, Mao. I wanted to ask you something in private since it appears others are interpreting your comment made to me some time ago (maybe a month or two) that I'm never allowed to post another negative comment (not even 1 sentence) in any thread other than the Store Forums again. I never interpreted your comment that way. I thought you meant be reasonable about it and if I were going to post a big rant, to take it elsewhere. I assumed that a little negative paragraph here and there in other threads was allowed if I kept it reasonable (which I thought I've been doing).

I didn't post a response in the following thread [link deleted] to avoid turning it into yet another discussion about my posts. Maybe you can look at what I wrote and tell me if I was out of line? [Well, I tried not to post here but had to since I can't PM Mao.]

For instance, if I go to Big Lots and post in the Big Lots thread "I went to Big Lots and didn't find anything new (as usual)" does that qualify as a forbidden negative comment? If some newbie asks a question about combining coupons at BB and I post a small paragraph about my past experience to answer it, is that forbidden?

Please clarify if I can post reasonable (i.e. 1 or 2 small paragraphs like I did above in this thread) negative comments in other deal threads when they are relevant, or if RonBoster is really right that I (alone) am never allowed to utter another negative sentence again except in the Store Forum? If it's the latter, I'll obey and stop posting completely unless I have a question or very brief comment. Thanks.

Didn't expect it to work for me at my local BB, but it did. PM'ed to Fry's $17.99, used BB $5 off coupon and then the Manu. $5 coupon - $9.05 out-the-door.

Manzana, you take things way too seriously sometimes. Who cares what people on the internet think of you. Sometimes you need to look at the glass as half full instead of always half empty.

BTW, I don't post a lot here anymore but I love your posts, if nothing else they're always entertaining!

consoleman 07-19-11 10:29 PM

Re: $5 Rango Coupon-Now Active
 
Not to bog down this blog any further, but it really sure come down to consistency in how coupons are handled for BB nationwide. For example, I can pretty much go into any Target store and know they have a policy of allowing one Target coupon and one manufacturer's coupon when purchasing an item. It's a chain-wide policy for any store across the country. With BB, if I have to go through the hassle of hitting a bunch of stores just to maybe get a coupon to work if you're lucky enough to get a "good" cashier, it shouldn't be that way for any customer. If it works in one store, it should work in any BB store. As for the $5 off $14.99 Blu-ray coupon not being for sale items, they're not exactly enforcing that, are they? So why the heck are they even making an issue out of using the $5 manufacturer's coupon when they're clearly going to get the money back from the manufacturer anyway. That's my gripe and I'm sure I'm not alone in it.

Manzana 07-20-11 10:32 AM

Re: $5 Rango Coupon-Now Active
 
Consoleman, I agree 100% with your post above (didn't quote it to save space).

If every BB treated everyone the same, I'd have no complaints. I'm sure there's some jealousy involved when I see other people getting great BB coupon deals and know that I can't get the same deals because my stores are "different", and a few others (like you) have often posted trouble in their areas as well. I'd much prefer all BB stores either allow or deny all coupons consistently across the country instead of having "good" or "bad" areas where many choose to ignore the wording on coupons while others strictly enforce it. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way about BB's inconsistency, but I've probably been the most vocal in the past. I say a lot less now. The difference is when I say anything about this issue, even just a little paragraph or 2, the MAC Club (led by RonBoster) goes into attack mode in hopes of getting me in trouble. My original posts aren't usually what clog up the threads but the subsequent attacks and my long responses. I'm thinking I'll just not respond to the attacks any more.

The fact that neither Mao nor any of the other moderators told me I'm not allowed to post anything negative means I'll stick by my original interpretation which was to take long rants to the stores forum but that a few reasonably sized negative posts here and there like this are OK. I'll stop when the moderators (which do not include Ron or Trevor yet) clarify that I'm not allowed to utter a single negative sentence ever again except in the stores forum. Then I'll shut up completely. I'm not a half-Manzana... it's hard to turn off the negativity completely, but I'm not all negative... more like 50-50 I think.

Mea culpa on this one.

At this point though it's not like I have to worry about saving my reputation here. Some of you guys (as gcribbs said above) are clearly vengeful and unforgiving such that if I never complained again, you'd still hold it against me forever. I wouldn't presume to say I'll never complain again because if I post an experience where I wasn't successful (coupon not accepted or they were out of stock) then it's a complaint. Fortunately and hopefully none of us will ever meet. But every time you see an evil customer in a store you can wonder... is it Manzana, the epitomy of pure evil?

All I can say is I'll try to tone the complaining down going forward. I recommend all of you who don't like me, seriously just completely skip anything I post if it's more than a small paragraph.

Anyway, I'm sorry you feel duped and pulled into a trap by me, but I assure you I never meant to dupe you nor do I set traps for people. If you mean to say that you've learned not to respond to my complaints because it doesn't do any good, then yes I can understand that. It's probably a waste of time on my part but psychologically it also helps to "let it out". So I think the message to me is (to quote Thumper): "if you can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all". Other people complain here too, but I'd say a big difference is I'm too wordy... another fault of mine.

I thought I had toned it down a bit until I was attacked in the Blockbuster thread when I hadn't even complained about anything. So I spent some time defending myself. Yes, it's probably all a big waste of time. It depends on my mood. I was saddened to hear that someone nice like you considers himself duped and trapped by me. All I can say is I'm trying to do better and complain less right now. Hopefully it will last. Take care.

My only troubles are with BB, and I avoid them, and you'll be happy to know that even though I'm clearly the worst customer in the world (going in there maybe once a month or two and usually buying nothing) that BB voluntarily give me Silver RZ status (not that I'll ever use it).

Reviewing the quotes above from June and July, IHMO...I think at times you are your own worst enemy. It can't all be the problem of all the other members, who you've dubbed the "Manzana Attackers Club". I think the fact this is only the second thread that I've asked you to take your complaints to the store forum, the fact that you feel I am the ring leader, says something about your perception of others vs reality. I don't think it's out of line or too much to ask (inlight of your own self reflection about your customer service complaints) to take "the majority" of them to the store forum. IMHO, it's a fair compromise. But, as you've stated in another thread, your concern that no one would read them.....
