I have rental copies of Lois & Clark Season 2 with 6 different bar codes. Would I be able to trade in 5 of those 6 DVDs for 5 coupons? I have 5 complete sets given to me to get rid of... lol

I have the same ones, and also plan to double-dip. With the $5 moviecash, they're basically free, as long as you have worthless DVD's to trade in...

Thanks for taking the time. And there's not ONE word in there that I don't believe. I have had agonizing waits at the BB pick up points or 'Customer Disservice' counters. But again, this was a 'pleasant' thing to read instead of all the deals that people were packing from BB :-)....Now back to $4.99 titles.
a word of advice. Grab a title that's $9.99 if you have been wanting it, RIGHT NOW. Cos too often prices fluctuate and the next week after your wife told you that you could buy it, she could kick your ass for spending $5 more on it than the previous week since the prices went up. It happened with Conan last time - not that the wife had anything to do with it, I just passed on it first time and when I finally went to pick it up, the girl at the register told me it rang up $14.99. If you have Buyer's remorse, you can always return it. But BB will never have Seller's remorse for you picking it up a week later for a higher price.

Probably getting a manager at Best Buy to price match Barnes and Noble, then manually apply the $5 U&S coupon. It's worked for a few of us, but very YMMV.

Sorry I made that post in a hurry and forgot to elaborate. That's exactly what happened, an override. The cashier told me I could use the coupon for it so I went and traded in four DVDs. At checkout he called for help cuz it wouldn't work on the Criterion price match. I told him the truth which is that I wouldn't have traded in the extra DVD if I hadn't been told the coupon would work. I asked for the DVD back and they told me that was impossible. So they called the manager and he did the override. So yes YMMV. I am now done with this sale which is why I didn't want an extra coupon I wouldn't use.

I had a Disney-esque/Twilight Zone experience at my local Beast Buy. The employees were all preternaturally friendly and enthusiastic about the sale and helping me find titles. One guy went back to the "media room" to snag me the last copy of Blade II. One female cast member came up to me and offered the 5.00 coupon for checking to see If I was eligible for a phone upgrade. A few clicks on her iPad and presto I'm in the money. She came back about ten minutes later and handed me and my friend another coupon just because we had been in there for awhile buying alot of Blurays!
Anywho here is my haul (so far). All were 5.00 after trade in except for Super 8...
Mean Streets
Gremlins 2
Mission:Impossible Ghost Protocol
Altered States
From Dusk Till Dawn - 4 movie pack
Blade II
Super 8 (7.99)
Will be going back for Batman steelies with movie money, Dog Day Afternoon, other Blade movies, and who knows what else!! Too bad they aren't carrying Singin In The Rain at my store.
As always, the obligatory link to my Haul Video is below for those who want to watch. ;-) I give a shout to DVDtalk (as I do in many of my vids lol) and put a link to the site in the description area. I love this place!!

I thought that the Ransom with Mel Gibson was $15 and the Ransom with Sean Connery was $10. You were able to get the Mel Gibson one for $5?

Found 4 25 cent DVD's at the 4th Dollar Tree i hit on Wednesday morning. They were all slim cases.
Made 3 purchases:
Mean Streets $5
Dog Day Afternoon $5
Smokey And The Bandit $5 (after $3 Universal coupon)
Did the phone updgrade check, the woman at the CS counter asked me if I wanted to do it when I was trading in the DVD's.
Tried to use it on my purchase but was denied. I was told that it was THE SAME COUPON as the Upgrade & Save coupon, so I could not use 2 of them on the same Blu-Ray. I pointed out the different barcode #'s on the coupons to no avail. Not a big deal, just have to use the phone coupon by Sunday I guess. It expires 07/21.

I actually just re-sorted my shelves, so everything is in alphabetical order. That was the best project I ever did, since I can now FIND a title when I want to watch something specific. Oh, and having them in an app on my Android is a godsend, since I can tell if I own something already, instead of accidentally buying duplicates.

You can get it for the same price right now at B&N if you sign up for BN Buzz:
http://www.visa.com/barnesandnoble/
It requires registering a Visa card, but you do NOT have to pay with the Visa to use the $5 coupon. This is the easier route IMO, instead of attempting to fight for an override at BB...

If anyone was still having troubles getting Blade, my store stocked them in sometime between today and Tuesday. I went Sunday and Monday, and they had no Blade. Today they did.
My haul was..
127 Hours
Blade
Blade 2
Despicable Me
Harold & Kumar go to White Castle
All were 4.99 except for Despicable Me, which was 7.99.

I didn't see this posted yet, but BestBuy.com has a $10 coupon code good if you order $50 worth of movies and select "In-Store Pick Up". The code isn't good for the items you just ordered, but it can be used on any future order. Plus, when you pick up your movies in-store, you can use the $5 trade in at the same time. Double-whammy!
