They won't accept anything in a rental case right? I've got some previous rentals that I picked up at a closing Movie Gallery for 50 cents that I could unload...
I've also got a few duplicate retail DVDs sitting in storage that I need to dispose of, I was going to sell them to a local pawn shop but they only offer $0.50-$1 a title, so if I can get $5 for them through this promo I'll drive the extra 40 minutes to my closest store.

Yep. I take them out of the thinpaks and put them in old Blockbuster/Pawn store cases and turn them in. The cases have stickers and marks all over them and they don't seem to mind. Did it last time they had this promo as well.

Finally found a use for my 49¢ still-in-the-shrinkwrap copy of the Everybody Loves Raymond final episode!

One coupon per movie. If you can find a manufacturer's coupon, you can combine that.

if I remember correctly from the last time they did this deal, you can trade in any DVD that has a UPC code on it. so rentals are perfectly acceptable, but promos that you got for free may not have the UPC code, so check to make sure
I noticed that Friday the 13th comes with $10 in movie money to see Paranormal Activity 3 (opens Oct. 21). or, in the case of my theater, whatever movie I decide to slide in to. at $10 it's almost like getting the blu ray for free.

Heard from other people that the ones with Paranormal Activity 3 movie money were ringing up $14.99 while the ones that don't have it was $9.99. Let me know if anyone managed to get the ones with movie money for the lower price.

Could it make sense, if you do it on your own?
You know the best way to fight doubt or question in mind is by experiencing it?
Any difficulty in initiating such task? Just Curious???

Friday the 13th on blu has the exact same promotion. Ended up not pursuing the $14.99 version with movie ticket since their system won't discount it $5. Not worth the hassle imho and definitely YMMV.

They had none in the trade and save so I looked around and found one in the 3-d Blu section.It has the movie cash on it.
It rang up 14.99 so I explained it was part of the trade and save (I knew it was a different sku but thought I'd try)
The girl went back to the trade and save and brought part one back saying this was the one I wanted-the one I had was a 3d Blu and did not count.
After a little Friday the 13th history lesson she decided to give in.She had to manually change the price to 9.99 then manually take the coupon off.
I was lucky.

Well, not any Blu-ray you want. Just the ones on their list...

One coupon per movie. If you can find a manufacturer's coupon, you can combine that.

^ They did once already, from 116 to 140 I think, but mostly TV shows added. Still some time left though. Hopefully some will go on sale for $9.99 that aren't now too.

Stopped in to the York, PA one, took my DVDs to the counter and the employee knew just what to do with them. She cut apart two coupons for my two DVDs (they had sheets of 2 x 2 photocopied coupons), I went over and found Big and Ferris Bueller, took them up with a .99 reusable shopping bag (needed something to get over $10 for RZ cert), gave the cashier my two coupons and RZ cert, and walked out paying a dollar and a few cents for 2 Blu's and a reusable shopping bag!

I went today to York Pa only wanting Friday the 13th Part 3

It rang up 14.99 so I explained it was part of the trade and save (I knew it was a different sku but thought I'd try)

Well, I went to a different Best Buy to do a second run for $5 titles. It was the opposite of before. They knew exactly what to do, no questions posed, everything was fine. Then I checked out. I noticed the Kevin Costner Robin Hood was stickered and in the section and it would not deduct at the register. They tried to make me forfeit the original Halloween cause they forgot to sticker it. A "superior" was called. She proceeded to surf the kiosk website on the register, doing basic product searches, expecting it to give results about the promotion from product inquiry searches. It was so appallingly stupid, you had to be there. Finally, I said forget RH, and grabbed an alternate. I checked out without issue and the snarky knuckle-draggers were less than apologetic. The superior even carded me to be asinine. Damn you Best Buy.

Since this deal is going through 10/29, I assume the only difference week to week is which BDs are on sale for a better price?
I was pretty amazed they were handing out coupons with the same barcode. Someone here already admitted to copying and using them, so I'm amazed BB doesn't have a lot of problems with that. Maybe they'll soon wise up and find a way to tie them to your Rewards account instead.
I traded in 3 things, but what I got were $5 DVD upgrades... nothing too exciting. I looked at the eligible titles link provided in this thread sorted by price and I just couldn't find anything else I wanted at $4.99 or $9.99 AC. I was tempted by Life as We Know It for $4.99, but reviews about it weren't exactly glowing (I haven't seen it but they say it's a very predictable and unfunny "rom com"). Then there's the Grindhouse double feature (which I also haven't seen) for $9.99, but I really only care to see Deathproof because I'm a Kurt fan. I saw a clip of Planet Terror with Quentin "F bomb" Tarantino having his private parts melt off in a behind view and that kinda put me off buying Planet Terror. Wait for cheaper, I guess.
