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

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
I'm going to try my 25% code more than once just in case it works temporarily. Hopefully, it'll be like the 30% which worked for the duration.
Re: Criterion titles...they can be hit & miss. They remind me of the old Classics Illustrated comics line which would get onto some authors and "adapt" nearly every work by that author. Criterion seems to not only release the masterworks or rare titles by some directors but work their way through their entire output in some cases.
Meanwhile, there are some titles that beg for the deluxe treatment due to either being unavailable on DVD (The Big Sky) or only available in inferior public domain or OOP releases (Two Women, One-Eyed Jacks). Hopefully, they'll get around to them eventually (or Twilight Time, Kino, or someone else will release them properly...the One-Eyed Jacks blu-ray is, reportedly, a travesty).

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
One Eyed Jacks is getting a new 4k restoration by Universal and The Film Foundation. The issue with that one was always rights related. No one was sure who actually owned the film. Paramount and Universal finally figured it out and it will probably come out sometime in 2016.

Spine numbers

High priced, good packages
Regular 50+% off sales
I tend to narrow my focus towards things/themesgplots I'm more confident I'll enjoy, but even with often-but-not-exclusive filtering, it's the variety (coupled with the above) that is the draw: it isn't just a small genre/single focal point, there is eclecticism and novelty and difference, which exposes one (if amenable) to things that would never otherwise cross your radar. And many - not all, but certainly 60-80% plus - are good, enjoyable or excellent.
#132
Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
Not 50% but Barnes and Noble is currently running a 40% off all DVDs and blu-rays. Add to that the member discount and those 20% of coupons and you can work a nice deal.
I got:
On the Waterfront (Criterion)
Gilda (Criterion)
Wings of Desire (Criterion)
and
Steve Jobs (Michael Fassbender)
for $73.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
Was checking out the B&N 40% off sale and noticed that quite a few of the recent Criterion releases (The Graduate, Only Angels Have Wings, and In a Lonely Place) are presumably out of stock and only available through their marketplace sellers. The sale also applies to Shout Factory titles, so they may be useful in reaching the 30% plateau if your desired Criterions are coming up a little short.

Will these codes only work on line? And will they accept them on top of the 50% off Criterion? Thanks for all of your great work posting these numerous coupons.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
If the sale starts July 5th, that gives you only a couple of hours to use this one, assuming the sale starts at midnight...
#140
Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
So, is there a sale starting allegedly around midnight tonight or is it just for that coupon.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
Ah ok. Hmmm. I'll have to be super-hawkish.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
If that coupon works as expected AND if the sale starts more efficiently at 12-1am ET than the 40% did, there is a possible 2+ hr overlap. The other known coupons have a longer lifespan in the sale and the 25% is the highest, but the 100+ price will force folks to consolidate into a single big order and hope everything qualifies and is in stock

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
does anyone know if B&N still offers the free trial membership? I can't seem to find it anywhere, but I remember it was hard to find last time too.

For some reason.... I thought the sale started yesterday. Went today to buy a set. And was like... where's my fucking 50%. And I used my 20. Fuck me.

Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
Man. I spent so much during the 40% sale on Blu-ray Digibooks that my wallet has been depleted. I may relent and pick up a title or two with stacked coupons but I may have to wait til November for much of what I want. I just don't understand why they run these sales back-to-back like this.
#149
Re: Barnes and Noble Criterion 50% off
So the 24% code is off the table for the Criterion sale. Is there any code for a non-member to use tonight when the sale goes into effect or should I just wait until the 20% on 7/7?
