Also several other online and in-store coupons available (like another 10% off (expires 6-18) for members as well as non-members ones). One link lists the B&M coupon printables and the other is a discussion thread about and listing in-store and online coupons.

some of which (like the 1-item off ones) may not be combinable - all I know, like someone else posted, is that the 10% off total member instore purchase coupon did work - it worked for me as well.
Enjoy them, especially during this sale !
P.S. Some of the DVD's online that do not have a "Free DVD offer" label ARE available in-store. I have not yet tried online if the deal works with those NOT having this label - does anyone know ?

Thanks for that 10% off coupon, forumsmv! With that alongside the 10% off for multidisc sets, that puts it right at the price DDD would have it during their sale after I add in my tax.
I ran to a couple B&N's today, looking for one that had 3 Criterion boxsets, but couldn't find out. One store said they could order them and have them shipped to me, but they were in a different county where the tax is higher. I'm gonna go out a little later tonight and have them order me 3 of the boxsets, and they should come out to about $45.93 each. Also, the $40 Criterions (if 2discs) come out to about $23.00 each, which is exactly what they'll be at the DDD sale (when and if it comes).
I'm gonna go ahead and pick up 3 boxsets and then 3 of the $40 retail ones since they're the same price and I won't be kicking myself if DDD doesn't do a sale this summer (and yes, I know someone posted a date, but it's a rumour until the codes are out).

Using the $5 off coupon previously listed in this thread, I purchased today:
I Love Lucy, Season 2 - $50.38
I Love Lucy, Season 3 - $50.38
I Love Lucy, Season 4 - FREE
Total with $5.00 off = $95.38 (Includes free shipping)
$31.79 per season set is a great deal! This beats a possible DDD 20% off sale by $2.53. Not a whopping margin, but nice nonetheless...Thanks OP!

Well, I went back with the 10% off coupon. I got:
Carl Theodor Dreyer Collection: CC - 72.00 - 10% = 64.80 + 6.5% tax = $69.01
A Film Trilogy by Ingmar Bergman: CC - 72.00 - 10% = 64.80 + 6.5% tax = $69.01
Fassbinder's BRD Trilogy: CC - FREE
Total: $138.02 = $46.00 each + $3.95 shipping (they didn't have Film Trilogy or BRD in stock)
Then they let me use another 10% off coupon for another set and I got:
The Rules of the Game: CC - 36.00 - 10% = 32.40 + 6.5% tax = $34.51
In the Mood for Love: CC - 36.00 - 10% = 32.40 + 6.5% tax = $34.51
I Am Curious: CC - FREE
Total: $69.02 = $23.00 each
The $40.00 titles came up to the same as the DDD sale to the penny, and the box sets came up a little more because of shipping, but at least I have one of them in my hands already.
to posting that 10% off coupon, it really made it worthwhile. If I shopped there more often, this would've been killer with the Member's card.

I picked up the Three Colors Trilogy, Solaris CC, and Battle of Algiers CC for $77~ total, worked out pretty well for me since I couldn't find Three Colors Trilogy on DDD.

So, if it's not in-stock, do they order and you pay for everythng on the spot then you just come pick it up, or do you pay when it comes in? Also, will this work on preorders? I'm waiting to do this deal w/ Au Hasard Balthazar next week, but if that can be counted in now I'd go today and use it as part of my 3.

I got the Star Trek sets for a total of $63ea plus tax which imo is the best price you will find for years (unless you find a price mistake).
This has got to be the best deal I've seen for a very long time.

You can order pre-orders as part of the promotion (according to the manager I spoke with), as long as they are scheduled to street before the end of the sale. I ordered Au hasard, Balthazar as part of my order yesterday. I was disappointed that a few companies are not participating in the promotion (i.e. New Yorker.)

Don't know if there's any teachers out there (K-12), but Barnes & Nobles offers an educator's discount card that gives you 20% off. I'm not sure if this is just for books, or if it can be used on anything, but that could further sweeten this deal. Sucks that I'm on the college level. I would've loved to get in on this.

Love this thread, and the fatwallet link which threw me for a pleasant loop, as I had no idea my AAA membership would be useful for something other than helping out of a jam when I locked the keys in my car (I know...DOH!).
By the way folks, if you have a AAA membership and take advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free deal, you should be a very happy camper if you purchase the Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and Harry Potter boxed sets. With the offer going on and the additional AAA discount, it breaks down to $33.59 a set!! Safe to say you would be hard pressed to find any of the above sets for THAT good a price anywhere else (even if DDD held their infamous 20 percent sale tomorrow, the price per set would still not be as good as the one you can get from B&N). Even if you only want one of the above titles---eBay the rest of them, and you still can walk away from the deal happy.
I also picked up 6 sets of Combat for my mother (hard to beat a buy 6 pay for 4 deal).
Edited to add: Glad I took advantage of the deal on Sunday, I tried to pull the same trick today with different titles---but no dice. I added two $80 titles, then a third...which would show up as a freebie, to my cart, BUT the AAA discount for the other two titles would not go through...if I removed one of the three titles from my cart, the discount shows up, but of course the point of this trick is to get the AAA discount and the free dvd.
I wonder if my on-line account has been flagged, or if I was able to take advantage of a programming glitch that allowed to AAA discount to be stackable with the B2G1 Free deal. At least it looks like they are honoring the discounts I received with the three orders I placed during this deal.
Heck, I am not complaining, I was able to get two fairly hot box sets for 51 percent off retail, and a third for a bit more then 45 percent off retail...not bad, considering B&N is a mainstream e-tailer with established B&M stores, and I did not have to print out any coupons, worry about rebates, sign up for a club/membership, etc.
Regards
Christopher

just called them, thts exactly right, just havent seen stickers like that for the multidisk thing at any of my local ones, but yeah, that makes it
260-10%=234
234-10%member=211
211-10%additional coupon=189ish (63 a piece, not bad, at all)
cheapest I seen them around here was costco for 86 or 89.....still kinda high................thanks mucho. 63 a piece is a nobrainer on those.
I also got about 36 in credit which will sort of pay for the membership, that sort of pays for itself, and might come in handy rest of the year. Too bad I dont know anyone with one.

P.S. I am thinking about getting all of the others too. I don't have any of the other three series and this would be a great time to get them with this sale going on. The only problem is that all 21 other seasons will run to about $1131.96 which is alot of money to lay out all at once but really means that they are only 53.90 (plus Tax) a season which is an incredible price for these set when you think that most people paid at least 100 each.

Really appreciate the offer, not sure if the drive is gonna save me much though. I work in bethesda, and am going right by the bethesda one (holding all 3 of them for me for a few days) til at least tommorrow night.
Is there a way to do it with just a phone number? like a giant discount card?
I'd give them a phone number and they find you in the system, or something? I was in one at lunch today (gaithersburg) and this guy kept talking to me and trying to sell me the membership, saying its linked to your phone number, and if you forget your card they just pop a phone number in and find you that way, or a girlfriend wants to use it and dont have a card, whatever. Just got a busy weekend and dont know how much its really gonna save me, driving out there. That trip would take me close to four hours round trip.
The very fact that you offered is quite cool, though. Thanks
