They might let you exchange it for another $10 blu-ray. I don't think they're obligated to, but they may make an exception. It's worth a try.

The final tally:

Excision
Outpost: Black Sun
Last Man Standing/The Last Boy Scout
Cosmopolis
The Raid: Redemption
Zombieland
The American
I Saw the Devil
Re-Animator

Same 'ol story as always - 90% of what I wanted was out of stock, but ended up with some good finds nonetheless.

I think my final total is 83. I'll post a list tomorrow. Finally my wallet can rest. Three weeks of U&S is hard work.

I'll have to try that next time. Even if not online, go in and get a few I really want as soon as we find out about the sale then do the return, rebuy. Of course that still means having to go back twice or take the chance they won't do the exchange with online purchases.

Grabbed 2 more yesterday. Between U&S and the $50 coupon, the 'to watch stack' has been refilled.

Might be an ideal flipping situation.

I think he was alluding to buying one getting the $5 gc, then purchasing a second title and using the gc.

Most of these were $9.99 during the sale so the U&S would have been cheaper (depending on your DVD cost).

Seeing as you get a $5 GC, it's basically the same as U&S. Your essential cost is still $5 for the BD, except you don't have to trade anything in, and save time/gas money driving to the store (granted, you are forced to spend the $5 GC eventually). Because I am paying with a $50 GC I already have, it's better than U&S to me, since I don't have to trade. But I don't need any of these titles. Already own the ones I want...

I posted the deal because I thought some might get some titles that weren't available at their local stores during u&s (at least if you didn't go through express lane etc and whatnot and, like me didn't have time to go to a store several times to get all the titles you wanted).

But wouldn't you get a $5 GC with the 2nd title you purchase as well? So more like $15 for 2 movies and a $5 GC by this reasoning.

yes. You'd keep getting the $5 GC, so the more you buy, the cheaper the average cost can become.

This is my first go-round with upgrade and save. I picked up the 2-disc SIN CITY, KNIGHT AND DAY, and had Express Lane order me a copy of CHINATOWN.

I never tried the express lane and saw some posts about it in this thread. Being in a hurry right now, maybe someone could answer this - you pay for the item(s) and use the u&s coupon(s) at the express lane and then your order will be shipped to you? Or the store?

BTW, you have to manually add the $5 GC to make it work I guess according to the FW thread.

Correct.

You can choose either. To your home or to the store.

I noticed that the 2-Disc version of Das Boot is also included in the $5 GC promo deal. I have been looking for a decent price on this for a long time with no luck, so this seemed like a good time to finally get it.

I didn't have to add it - it automatically popped in to my cart

Anyone know when the $5 gift card promo ends? I got my gift card from my first order yesterday and want to do another round, but I was hoping to wait until next week when I should have a RZ cert to use

Just to be clear, -is this (the 5$ gift card with qualified purchase) just an online only deal or is it available in store?
