Assume that all of these are available to all customers unless specifically listed as member only like the Welcome Package. Also remember that any preliminary codes are just that and BN could pull it, change the details or exclusions anything prior to release so always a bit of YMMV until the final release date

Mini FAQ
Coupons should not work for PREORDERS , Nook, Legos, Rosetta Stone, Digital, Gift Cards, Memberships, etc. There are glitches where sometimes an excluded item will be allowed but assume that is the exception to the rule
Free Shipping is $25 (before tax/shipping) or with membership.
Max 3 GC on a single online order.
Online only a single code can be applied to an order
Return period is 14 days after delivery (possibly 30 days for members though I've never tried)
Online ordered items can returned to a local store unless it's classified as a web-only item then it's at the store's discretion to accept
The long standing Free 60 day Trial Offer was discontinued in late May 2016

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Go to any digital music (album, song) page
Over in the "Buy" section, you may need to expand it, but you should see "Add gift card or promotion code"
Click that, it should pop up both your gift card and Amazon Music (digital credit) balance.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Just a heads up, that is the re-issue without the digital copy. The original version didn't have any special features, so at least you don't lose any content.

Now down to $46.21. It keeps dropping by a dollar or so, every so often.

I've ordered, and cancelled, twice so I could re-order at the reduced price. It really sucks that they don't automatically update the price if your order hasn't shipped yet.

It hasn't moved for a while, so maybe this is as low as it'll get.

Been noticing this trend the last few days - steady trickling down of prices by a few pennies/dimes every few hours

I pre-ordered the Pink Panther set on Feb. 13 for $59.94. Right now it's $59. 73. In my orders I'm getting it for $55.58 because that's the lowest price since 2/13.
I pre-ordered Shane for 9.99. When it shipped they only charged me 8.50 because price dropped after I ordered.

Misunderstood. I've got prime and in stock stuff ships right away. There's no time to check back to see a new price, cancel and re-order.

Of course, pricing might fluctuate quickly from the time of this post to the time of viewing as has been the case. AND some of the lower priced features are add on titles too

Yeah, I saw that but didn't want to risk it. They were showing 3 copies when I noticed, and I figured that with my luck it would probably sell out by the time I cancelled my existing order and placed the new one. It means a difference of $1.40CAN to me, so no big deal.

I've been watching this one closely. I'm not sure if I should pull the trigger now or keep waiting. It has dropped $3 over the last 3 days.

I bit a few days ago, -it went up to 26.99 at Deep Discount, -when it went below $18. I monitored it closely and it stayed that price until I got the ship notice. Then it dropped another 60 cents, and now it's a dollar cheaper. Of course, I wish I had waited and I wish the old pricing policy was in effect. I got burned by Amazon UK on a couple of "Limited" items where I felt I had to jump when I had a good price (unfortunately, both prices got better; on the other hand, I waited on another Limited item and it's no longer available except at "Collector" prices (which I'll never pay).It comes down to gambling now.

Maybe I'll price match with Target and save a few cents with Red card.

If a person places a Prime order with no-rush shipping to get some kind of perk (which I do somewhat often) then there's plenty of time (usually) to cancel and reorder if there's a price change. Luckily Amazon doesn't do much to discourage that.
