^ Interesting. That is good to know. I had tried it in-store (with the $10 GC promo), and it did not prompt to give me the GC. Apparently their online system is better than the in-store system.

It should have worked. I did the $25 GC in-store promo for $100 of TV show title purchases. My total after using a $30 RZ certificate was $75 and I still got the $25 GC.

If they don't have the coupons on the packaging then I wonder if they would let you use one if they got it from a different store? I know that the ones at Walmart have the coupon on them.

I don't see why not, they are manufacturer's coupons.

So, we've confirmed that RZ certs do not impact the $10 promo code for >= $50, but I saw no definite answer to whether using a previous $10 promo code (which should be treated like a GC) on a subsequent >= $50 order will affect getting another $10 promo code.

For instance, suppose I buy $52 worth of 3 TV sets + $10 free GC + tax = $56-ish and then use a $10 promo code (GC) from a previous order putting the final total at $46. All logic says that should work, but nobody has posted that they have actually tried it successfully, so I just placed my order without using the $10 promo code so that both the subtotal and out of pocket total is over $50. Hopefully they'll have at least $20 worth ($10 x 2) of stuff I want before the end of September to use my $10 promo codes on.

I saw some of them at Walmart today, and it says "Valid at participating retailers" on it, so that could be a easy out for them to refuse it, especially when they're basically giving you the same deal automatically at the register.

In the Blu-ray.com forum thread dedicated to the $10 store pickup promotion, there are multiple reports of using a $10 promo code, which drops the total under $50, and still receiving another $10 promo code. By the way, there are over 800 posts now in that thread!

Of course, I've placed 4 regular orders during this promotion and for some reason have never actually gotten the promo codes emailed to me after picking up the orders. I've had to contact customer service every time and they've mailed me a gift card in place of not receiving the savings code.

Thanks for the tip. I rarely look at Blu-ray.com, but perhaps I should start since there's a lot more info there. I take it that Blu-ray.com has more active threads than here? It looks like they're using the same web site software so there's no learning needed.

I find it ironic that DVD Talk has a separate Blu-Ray forum, but Blu-Ray.com has the DVD and Blu-Ray talk mixed in 1 forum.

Did they offer the $25 gc for a $100+ online (pick up/ship) Tv-show order before during this promo? Just wondering if they might offer that come Sunday when it is specified in the ad for in-store. Also, the current online promo says to click a list link for TV-shows that are part of it, but that is afaik all TV-shows BBy have and alot of them do not specify the offer. Anyone order any titles that do not specify and still get a free gc somehow when it will not be 0 in your cart?

^ Yeah, thanks. I had gathered as much. Never took advantage of the in-store glitch the first week as there wasn't any deals too interesting for me (also my long week at work). Anyways, the $25 gc has so far only been in-store then and most probably will continue to be next week.
Seeing as BBy is very inconsistent (only some on their "qualifying" list mentions the $10 gc even though any over $14.99 should qualify) I imagine one would have to add the gc to your order and pay for it and then contact BBy to have $10 refunded? Seems like to much of a hassle to me knowing BBy's cs (not the worst, but certainly not the best either).

Edit: Yup, Breaking Bad s3 and 4 plus Walking Dead s2 (all BD) does not give me a free $10 gc.

Anyone ordered $100+ of TV-shows for pickup and gotten a $25 gc instore when picking up?

Most of the qualifying titles on that list are from older seasons, so you won't find the more-in demand ones to make your threshold. I had the same problem hitting $50. I hit $49.98 with two that I wanted, but that does not equal $50.

^ Yeah, don't know if any employee at my local BBy would be that kind. Will see how it goes come Tuesday when I pick up Walking Dead s2 LE preorder.

Breaking Bad S3 BD qualifies for the GC offer, but the other 2 are too new.
Is that how they work the GC offer if you return an item? (I haven't tried it.) I had assumed it would be a package deal where you had to return all or none to get a full refund. So, if you change your mind on something, BB will refund you less by pro-rating the portion of the GC? That seems fair at least... I'm actually surprised they went to the effort to program their system to do that. At this time I don't plan on returning the 3 I bought, but it's good to know just in case (there are price drops somewhere else).

Also, as a general life experience over the last 10+ years of being an avid deal seeker, the various times I've asked cashiers, supervisors, or managers if they could adjust up the price by a penny or two so I hit a coupon or promo threshold (including times when they were PM'ing another ad and could've easily done that), I've been told no 100% of the time. Doesn't matter what store, what state, what year. I've never met anyone who is that flexible working in retail. They probably exist... somewhere in fantasyland. :-)
