bwsmom: was your deleted rant about this being suspicious?
cause I keep looking at it and wondering myself, it seems highly unusual--not to doubt anyone here, but no one mentioned sources, so I thought perhaps it was second or third hand tomfoolery.
Still I see your link so I suppose it's good. Weird.

I'll check our internal listing of current offers when I go in tomorrow.
If it's on the list I hope they don't look at me too funny when I bring it in

I just used it on Ultimate Prince which was on sale for 19.99. To kick it over $20, I bought one of those 40 cent truffles at the front. So I got a $25 sticker price cd for $10. That's alright.

Thanks, OP! The Borders I work at is considered to be in a company test market, so we never get the good coupons anymore. This one, along with the two other 30% coupons and a personal shopper day are going to make it much easier to spend the $70 in merch cards I have at the moment.

I hate to rain on the parade but the coupons might be counterfeit.
Was looking at the $10 off $20 vs a 30% off one book coupon and using words like "threshold" sounds "hinky" and suspicious.

Does anyone know if you can use the coupon on magazines? I would like to get a couple of expensive magazines(Newtype-USA for instance) with the coupon. Thanks.

The great thing about these $ off coupons (compared to % off coupons) is that the discount applies to the sale price.

EDIT: having read that, it appears they're only being delayed, but it does still sound wonky.
Though I'd like to strangle the asses complaining about signing up for a FREE program that takes TWO SECONDS to sign up for...sigh.
