bought a magazine at my local borders, and received a coupon attatched to my reciept that states "come back to borders for 25% off any one item, including dvds... valid 10/21 - 10/25/04"

Other people have reported this as well. Does anyone know if it matters what you buy in order to get the 25% off coupon? Can I buy a piece of candy to get it?

not sure what amount you have to spend to get the 25% but, I bought 2 DVDs for 30 dollars and got the 25% off coupon, also today I got a bagel, a bag of chips, and a soda for 4 dollars and got the coupon.

I think the cash register spits out the coupon whenever a transaction takes place

Even at 25% off they stilll bend you over each time you walk in the store.

I know Borders doesn't have the best DVD prices around, but their prices are OK on some things. So here's my question: How's everyone going to spend their 25 percent off coupon, especially since this is one of those rare ones that actually works on DVDs? Anyone find a way (a box set, perhaps?) to make this coupon really valuable?

Use it on Criterion DVD. A $36 priced CC would cost $27 after coupon, about the same as the best online price, but with instant gratification.

if your Borders has the monstery legacy gift set its not too bad of a deal. I forgot the price that was listed at mine, it was between 70-75 bucks. After the 25% off I believe it will be 52-56 bucks + tax. not too bad for all 3 monster legacy DVDs plus the busts.

I bought a magazine, received the 25% off coupon, going to buy a DVD as that coupon allows 25% off dvd's also.

I tried to buy something for 40 cents, but it wouldn't spit out a coupon. The clerk thought that the purchase might have to be > $1. She said that purchases in the CAFE would also work. I went over, thinking I'd just get a coffee, when I noticed that the clerk was just tossing the receipts and the coupons if people were only getting small food items. I just asked her if I could get a couple of the ones she just threw out and she did. My version of dumpster diving

Maybe they will have a good price on Van Helsing? Probably not!!!!

my guess is $19.99.

I bought that Daily Show's America book today and got no coupon.
Is this just for you left coasters? (I'm in Texas.)

wennma01

has anyone in the pennsylvania area got this coupon? Theres a borders about 25 miles away and i was wondering if it would be worht the trip

bhauge

It could be that Monday (18th) was the last day of the promotion, since the whole idea (according to the coupon) is to get you to come BACK to Borders 10/21-10/25

darmok

i got one of these coupons for 10/21-25. how are borders stores with ringing them up before the start date? i'm anxious to stop by today (the 20th) to pick up a title for tonight, but if i had to i would wait a day to save 25%.

The only DVDs I pick up from Borders are Zatoichi DVDs, as they are $14.99 (almost as good as DDDVD). Picked one up with that 20% coupon a few weeks ago for $11.99.

im thinking maybe on the 3disc hellboy unless its not that good of a deal... find out tomorrow.

Dabaomb

I saw the 3-disc Hellboy for $30.99. Surprisingly it wasn't on sale. At least it had no sale sticker and that was on all 5 copies that I saw. I didn't ask a clerk to verify though.

Rammsteinfan

Ugh, so its still $24.99 w/ the 25% off... thanks for the info. Ill prob get something else then.

ThePrimeDreamer

hey man, whats the deal? I went over to the Borders at Santa Anita, CA and picked up three magazines and lo and behold, NO coupon for 25% off, but instead this stupid coupon promoting a Borders Visa Card and a $20 gift card...man whats the deal?

asianxcore

looks like the promotion ended a couple days ago. all cashiers are printed out the Visa/$20 gift card receipt now.

I think it was, like another poster mentioned, a deal where you have to come back to borders this weekend and use it.

Thanks for the heads up
