The answer to all of those is 'it depends' unfortunately. Some of my stores/clerks will only do a single coupon per transaction but are happy to split things up, others will do Unique coupons a bunch at a time.
Same thing with the phone and just a list of codes instead of printed copies.

Picked up "Time Bandits" CC yesterday, stacked the 30% coupon on top of the sale, got it for $16-and-change. Thanks for the heads-up!

I used two today. I did it in separate transactions. One of the coupons I had printed and the other they had no problem scanning on my phone.

I can confirm that Disney 3D titles are included. My store did not publicize the sale much and only a few racks got the 40% stickers, so I was unsure.

$24 - 10% member discount = $21.60
$21.60 - 30% member coupon = $15.12
$21.60 - 25% non-member coupon = $16.20
I plan on heading up there today and grabbing a few titles with some 25% coupons. Also gonna give my manager a plate of cookies since he was so good to me on Black Friday.

Re: Barnes & Nobles 40% Off Bluray Sale (Dec. 2014)
The vast majority of instore Blurays are 40% off MSRP whether they are marked or not -- they should ring up properly at checkout though I'd double check as they are scanning them. There are still a handful of the Value Items and Special sale items that are 50% off, but those usually have special stickers on them.
There are a few specialty items that always seem to get left out -- Warner Archive items someone mentioned, I've seen CD/Bluray combo packs or Music Bluray that are classified as CDs for some reason. I've not heard of any of the Large boxsets this year being left off -- I think last year if any of the stores had teh Doctor Who Complete set or Breaking Bad barrel there were some people that said they were excluded.

I would like to pick up the Batman set, but I am going to wait for the eventual price drop. I may try and pick up the Vincent Price vol. 2 set($47.99 pre 25% coupon) and The Hobbit DoS 3D EE($33 pre 25% coupon). Neither are available at the store closest to me, but I should be going past one that does have both in stock this weekend.
Not really wanting to pay $25 for The Hobbit DoS, but The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey 3D EE has not come down in price since it's release. Luckily I picked that one up from GoHastings at a decent price. I haven't had the best of luck with them on the past couple of orders so I don't feel like dealing with them again anytime soon.

Manager also really enjoyed his cookies, and said I was very thoughtful.

Does anyone happen to know what day BN gets new stock? I live by several BNs that always have everything and none of them have anything anymore. I'm hoping to get a thing or two on Monday if new stock comes in.

You must have got in before the coupon restrictions were put in place. Online it says it no longer qualifies for coupons. Also at stores the coupons will no longer scan a discount at the register unless they over ride the system.

My 30% coupon for the Batman LE came up as "item does not qualify..." The manager said to enter it manually.
I anticipate some fun when I go to use my 25's this week.

Wow, that's new. I used it on that last Thursday. I bet a lot of people have, so they are trying to disable it.

I didn't know that. Glad I went first day for once... Usually I'm quite the procrastinator.

For a few minutes I thought they were going to tell me I could not use the coupon. No way I was going to buy it without the extra discount with the coupon.

Glad I got the titles I was interested in as this nonsense will put an end to my urges to go and find something else to buy just because coupons are out there.

Re: Barnes & Nobles 40% Off Bluray Sale (Dec. 2014)
I forgot to mention that I was successful in getting the $5 of $50 coupon applied to the Batman LE on top of the 30%. I deliberately had it prepared on my phone; I have a Blackberry and the small print is very hard to read.
I showed it to her and as she said "Where did you get this? I didn't get this," and she proceeded to punch it in, and I said nothing.
I was planning to try it again with a 25% off on Twin Peaks, but I can't decide if I'm going to get it. My wife is grumbling about it. She's pretty burned out on all this, as she's had to put up with it since the start of the Criterion 50% off sale. Then there was the BBC sale and a lot of Tom Baker Doctor Who. Now the 40%. Thankfully, it all ends in two days.

Two questions:
(1) When does the 40% sale end? I know the first post says Dec. 24 but usually these sales end on a Monday.
(2) If you just have codes (and not coupons), do you just hand the written code to the clerk & ask them to punch it in? Does this also work for ship-to-home orders?
Thanks for the help!
Meant to do the 50-mile round trip drive today but was too busy at home to get away.

You are allowed to use (most-to-all) coupons on ship-to-home orders, although some cashiers are unwilling to help. But some cashiers are unwilling to help on anything - It Is Allowed.

Not really much of a deal, but I picked up A Christmas Carol(George C Scott) for $6.99(25% B&N cpn + $2 manu. cpn) and The Town That Dreaded Sundown for $12.14. I only recently saw TTTDS for the first time and decided to pick it up.
