Doesn't the coupon take $5 off the price?

i.e.

Evil Dead $14.99 BB / $9.99 Amazon
- Coupon
Evil Dead $9.99. Same price as Amazon.

Obi-Wanma

It's still listed as a coupon and the original price is still on there, even though it comes off before tax. I admit that I have mostly done this with manufacturers coupons, which is different, becuase it's a method of payment, but I did it at least once with an U&S coupon during the last round.

Gizmo

I'll try today if I find any title like that.

But looking at what other people are finding in stores, and already knowing BBs lack of inventory, it'll probably just be some Triple/4 Packs and I'm out.

Hmm, so, can't do a match since that's an other discount or we can do it since that would be a promotional price? This is wide open for interpretation.

Gizmo

It's all YMMV. Some people are successful, some are not.

I don't really feel like having a 20 minute conversation to save $1-2. I know some people will, but I won;t. I'll ask, if they say yes, great, If they say no, I'm done.

I've always have issues doing a price match and a coupon in the same transaction now. They used to let it slide but not anymore, every store near me has rejected it during the last few U & S deals.

GuessWho

What about pricematching their own website? Is that easier or just as bad as pricematching a competitor?

Torchur317

They pricematch their own site with no problem.

DVD Polizei

I had two stores that did NOT price match their own website and accused me of taking advantage of Upgrade & Save promotion. I asked how taking advantage of this U&S was somehow wrong and just where was this stated in Best Buy's policy. Got no reply, other than, "Well, you can't do that, sir!"

Picked up the the Scarface steelbook w/original version dvd & cards $4.99

Kedrix

Which was exactly the problem. No "Reel Hero Packaging" Steelbooks were to be found at either of the two stores I went (the first store had some of the older steelbooks but alas I have all of those I want). In fact, the sale was completely meh for me, at least this week anyhow. The ONLY thing I got? The Jerk $7.99 after U/S. I left two dvds in my car if I happen to be near a different Best Buy in the next couple of weeks but by and large, yeah that's going to be sadly it.

Sad, because I still have a good number of bargain bin dvds (just stuff I've collected from Big Lots/Half Price Books clearance that I tried on blind buy) that I would love to get rid of but nowhere reasonable to dump it on.

That'sAllFolks

I also got this, but nothing else. (For some reason, I couldn't find the stack of DVDs I had set aside for this promo.)

My plans:
The Last Lions 3626094
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's Edge 1980664
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl 1980655
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest 1980585
The Illusionist (Blu-ray Disc) 2010 2390749
Winter in Wartime
Five Year Engagement
Baraka 9090271
Samsara 6999438

The store near me doesn't have most of these. I'm about to place an online order and do a return/rebuy. I'm not going to waste a bunch of gas chasing these down ...

I really hope that's it. Last time I got about 40, but I keep hoping for restraint. This time I think I'll have it.

That'sAllFolks

Yes, posting is still down, but for DVDs this is still the place to go. the DVD section at BR.com is much deader. I also think that most people that frequent these forums are buying blu-ray now. Occasionally a deal gets posted here first,but frequently deals are posted at blu-ray dot com first and sometimes exclusively. Sometimes I try to move threads over, but there are too many lurkers here that don't contribute (I'm not talking at the Prof or Mananza or some others that post) and I really get sick of it. They do come out of the woodwork when they want a code or something else from you.

For example, it would be nice to see people's hauls during this U&S. It's very helpful in giving others ideas about possible deals they may not be aware of.

Gizmo

Pathetic as usual. My BB had little stock and many titles jumped up in price ($24.99 for This is 40).

Wound up getting Ripper Street, Doctor Who S7.5, The Snowmen and 2 4 packs.

Never again. 15 minutes in line just to get the damn coupons and 45 minutes until I settled. Ugh. Even the $9.99 Warner double packs jumped up to $14.99.

Gizmo

Won't work without a hassle.

Tried price matching a title that was $14.99 in store and $12.74 online. However the coupons only dropped it the difference (so $9.99). Lame.

GuessWho

Purchased! DBall/SAM has proper aspect ratios.

Denied!

mattysemo247

Picked up these for $4.99 each

Scarface (original steelbook version)
Chronicle
Men in Black (1 & 2)
The Five-Year Engagement
Groundhog Day

And also picked up Liar Liar for $7.99, which I had no idea was even on Blu Ray yet, so that was a nice surprise

darkdaze73

I'm guessing you're talking about The Snowmen, correct? I was hoping it would be that price in store tomorrow when I make my first run.

I gotta make a run to a couple of dollar stores first as I am out of bargain dvds. And if they won't pm their site and give me the U&S I might as well just order it online since(if my math is correct) I would only be saving around $1.70 after considering the price of the dvd.

Hopefully I will be able to find season 7 parts 1&2 also.

Gizmo

Correct. Wasn't going to get either (waiting for the complete Series 7) but figured I might as well since I couldn't find anything else and wouldn't mind rewatching them.

hilts

Okey dokey. All prices after trade-in.

Taxi Driver 4.99
Stitches 4.99 never heard of it before today; reviews look good
Serenity 4.99 standard BR case
Charade 7.99 1960's Best of the Decade
Spartacus 7.99 1960's Best of the Decade

still will be going after Road To Perdition, Copland, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, at least this week. Many crap disks to lose.

laidbacklarkin

Scarface shows #14.99 online (every version) - does it ring up $9.99 in store or did you do anthing else to get it at that price ? thanks

acdcrocks1980

Its on sale in the store. I was pissed when I saw the old steelbook, since I picked it up the 1 disc normal case version for $5 last U&S.

Surfinhank

That site is definitely where everyone has gone. Their U&S thread already has 1190 posts(!) It can be a bit too much like a chat room for me, though.... pages and pages of back and forth banter.

One of the pleasant surprises was the BBC endcap. Picked up Being Human S4 and Primeval V3 for 9.99 each. They also have various Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sherlock Homes seasons and more.

Also The Pagemaster (apparently out early) was on a FOX endcap for Percy Jackson moviemoney promo. Only 4.99 after U&S coupon.

jiggyblau

I may have had the most ridiculous Best Buy experience of my life today (and I've had many).

The cashier told me they never got their shipment of coupons. They couldn't do the U&S sale. But I could come back in a couple days, because the truck should be in by then.

They can't copy one from elsewhere? Have it scanned from corporate? Simply input the UPC on the coupon? No, they had to turn the customers away. They're waiting on a truck to deliver coupons. This was a new low. I really want this company to succeed, but they just don't get it.

JimRochester

Although the posting is down I thought people were quite vocal last time. I read the thread over at Bluray.com and it was 11 pages long of drivel weeks before the event. That's the other extreme. Too much useless banter that's impossible to follow.
