Borders 30% coupon for BR members thru 6/30
Thanks to xorealix and couponcabin for reporting this over at CAG.

You'll have to replace some info in the url. I changed it to include my name and borders rewards number. I don't think it's necessary as it shouldn't mess up with the bar code.

Thanks. i also noticed that you can easily change the expiration date on the coupon.

(30% off leaves you with 70% of the original price, so 10% off of that is only 7% of the original price)

Tell them to check with management and if management says so, tell them to check the literature for BR.

More accurately, if you do not have a card. But they ARE free.

That would be worth using just to watch the employee freeze at the register. Total brain lock.

I wonder if you can get away with printing a buttload of coupons with longer expiration dates. You could essentially get 30% for a lifetime.

Last weekend I was down to a handful of coupons left from the ones I printed out at the beginning of June. So I went back to the same link and printed more. Tried to use one and was told, "Oh, this is a counterfeit coupon, we can't honor this, see the numbers under the barcode have to match the numbers in the text part, we've been told to look out for that."
I went back to my car and got one of the ones from the beginning of the month, and, sure enough, the numbers matched on that one (the clerk let me use it) but not on the ones I had printed at the end of the month. So someone from Borders has been in there modifying it.
If they want us to stop using it, they should just take the page down instead of letting us print a coupon they know they won't let us use!
Anyone else had this problem? Or is my store the only one that actually pays attention?
