DVD's 25%off
Borders Rewards Plus extended and good through 8/7/11

(Before I am slammed for another thread, I normally don't read the other forums--only the Blue-ray Bargains, so I assume there are others like me.)

even at 50% off their prices are too high

Agreed, still not low enough. Have about 5 titles I'll bite on at 60% and another 3-4 titles that I would bite on at 70%. Other than that nothing else there that even entices me at a greater % off that most likely will not be there anyways by that time.

I know this is about blus, but did you happen to see what percentage off the books are now?

Crime, business, philosophy, performing arts romance and more 40%
All audio books, e-readers, DVD's, mysteries and thrillers, cooking, sci fi, history, religion and more 25%
Diet, nutrition, biography, self-help, general reference, humor, and more 30%

All sales final and furniture and fixtures for sale

Discounts in store purchases only

There is a part of me that wants to buy a couch that people have been fartin into while reading their highfalutin books and thinking their overpriced thoughts. Considering how pretentious i am, it would go well with my coffee table.

Are they planning on keeping the website open? I'm surprised they haven't started any sales or clearances online...

Yeah, most likely like tower.com, circuitcity.com, and compusa.com, the borders.com website will go on to have a long (unaffiliated) life after the B&M shuts down.

If B&N just didn't have their Criterion sale.
THe Criterion blu's for $18 if you have rewards plus or $20 without,would not be a bad deal,maybe the only product worth getting right now.
But they don't have many in stock,and just like the rest of thes GOOB sales that most stores have,seams like alot of people still pay to WAY to much.

Also i was told at the store in corvallis oregon and read it online too.
That they Borders will be getting more merchandise in,but it is anyone guess what will be coming in.lol

I was told that they get daily shipments but never know what category of items etc. are coming in. Also, they don't know until the night before what discounts are changing either.

No wonder they went out of business.

Most of the Blu's are still behind a locked case at my store, I wasn't about to try and track an employee down to wait there while I checked the price of any Blu I would possibly want (and most likely wouldn't have gotten anyway).

And that's why when the sale was at 40% and obviously nothing was selling I just wrote down all the titles I wanted. Then went home and looked up their list prices. You can find that on borders.com or bluray.com for example. Of the 8 or so movies I wrote down only 1 has sold and almost certain that a title came in after I first had checked.

Email says Monday through Wednesday take an additional 10% off sale price.

Also, back orders on borders.com apparently are being cancelled.

Is that a coupon or is it automatically applied in store? Also, is that for everyone or just rewards members?

I'm still amazed they shipped my Complete Stargate Atlantis set on July 25. But they didn't post my Rewards points for it in July, unfortunately, cuz I would have hit $5 rewards to spend in August.

All I know it was in a Borders Rewards email. There was no coupon.

I just got an e-mail yesterday (Monday) stating that Super Blu-ray had shipped. There's still hope for those with backorders/preorders.

I'm still waiting (two and a half weeks now) for a new gift card from a return. The e-mail said ten business days. I called on day 11 and was told, "Give it another week." So I wait. I want to burn it and $50 more gift cards ASAP.

Well, circuitcity.com and compusa.com both closed first, then the website names were purchased by tigerdirect.com (all owned by Systemax). It's basically the same store at all 3 URL's. I think tower.com was also bought out by someone else. So I'd be surprised if borders.com didn't close, at least for a little while...

THat wasn't for everything. It was music and some books.

Also today is the last day for the extra 5% off for plus members.

Plus members get an extra 10%.

They fudge the number and say 10% but that comes off the final total so it comes to only about 5%.
Example.
Price is $20 - the current 50% off = $10 minus another 10% off comes to another $1 off for a final total of $9 or 55% off the initial price.
If it was really an extra 10% off it would be 60% off for a fina price of $8.

Not that it matters anymore.

I was in a local Borders the other day. They kept all their Blu's on a shelf behind the register. Who is going to stand in front of the register and look at the Blu's behind the counter? That's awkward and you can barely make out the titles standing there.

I don't need a math lesson. And you are the one fudging numbers. All member discounts be they Borders, B&N, FYE etc. are taken off the selling price and not list price. The fact that it's 5% off list doesn't mean they fudge.

You apparently didn't look at what I posted and why so defensive. I never said you needed a math lesson.

I said they take the extra ten percent off the final price after all other discounts.
They way they sell it to you makes it sound like instead of 40% off you get 50% off the price and you do not.

What's the difference anyway there is no more plus rewards it's over. Try not to act so injured when some one is simply having a discussion with you when you disagree with the other persons comments.
