Did you do a WHOIS on the address? NO
Did you check the company who registered the domain? Again NO.

If you go and do both than you'll see that this coupons is legitimate.

I have a new saying, "Some people on DVDtalk shouldn't be making accusations that their asses can't cash"
Oh darling, I sure can cash that. It's pretty clear that you are in the camp of "I have no idea what I'm talking about".

WHOIS search results:

Domain Name: VISITBORDERS.COM

So Border's is now registering through GoDaddy? That's interesting. Also, all legit coupons come from the j.xxx domain, all of which you would know if you had any idea what you are talking about (or even read this thread).

Look, if you want to bash someone, at least have the ammo to fire the shot.

You obviously still didn't do your homework. Did you look at the company who did the registering. AGAIN YOU DIDN'T!!!

A company called Flying Point Media did the registration and if you look at their website you'll notice they are a marketing company for Borders.

You have ammo but you don't know how to shoot. HAHAHA

That still doesn't explain why the coupon is not on the j. server which hosts all legit borders coupons.

Until someone in here posts that they used the coupon successfully today, it remains positively suspect for several reasons:

1) Godaddy
2) non j. server
3) Changing date

Everyone ignore this guy he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

This coupon is fine I did the research while he didn't. He still cannot refute what I posted.

You are little sensitive today, aren't you?

Anyway, everything's on the table. We'll see who's right at the end of the day.

Sensitive? No.

You haven't put anything out on the table.

Why don't you just apologize to the person that posted the coupon?

Wow ... it sure is hostile in here ...

I want to thank the OP for the $10 off $20 purchase coupon. I got some really good deals on some books I've been wanting. Thanks!

I printed the coupon but had been out the whole weekend and didn't get a chance to drop by Borders. Oh, well.

The coupon works. It has the same barcode as the all introductory 30% off coupons when you become a Borders rewards member. Is it legit? I really don't know, since a barcode is pretty easy to replicate. At least it is accepted at the register.

Thanks OP! Coupon seemed to work for purchases less than $20. So I didn't have to get any chocolate balls. Got AD3 for $9.99 (no sales tax in NH) and new Pretty in Pink SE for $2.99!

Must've had a pretty laid-back cashier-person.

Thanks to the OP for the $10 off $20 Borders coupon.
Late Monday evening I jumped on the bandwagon and got Double Indemnity for $12.99 plus tax. Even the young girl cashier remarked to me that it was a great deal.
There's another DVDtalk thread about a loose disc issue with that DVD so I shook each one and found one that didn't have something rattling loose inside.

By the way just for fun I scanned this whole thread, and I'm the 12th poster who got that movie with that coupon this weekend. That title might well show up on Borders best selling DVD list for the weekend. Because for the 30 minutes or so I spent browsing the DVD's there I was literally the only shopper in the DVD section (the book area and coffee area had lots of folks). And if it hadn't been for that special coupon I sure as heck wouldn't have been there with all their high DVD prices.

Ya, I even had Double Indemnity on hold but couldn't make it there because of work.

...lucky bastards.

I used the coupon tonight and they didn't even bat an eye but I bet DVD Josh want's me to probably post a receipt because he will say I won't have proof.

Nothing to say now right?

Just be a man for once in your life and apologize to the poster of the coupon.

Tune in and find out on the DVD Light.

The new coupon says 9/7. I will go to Border's this evening and attempt to use it. If I can, you heard it here first, I will retract my statements to the poster of the 30% coupon.

Just for the record, I'm not the only guy who questioned its authenticity in this thread or accused the poster of fabricating it.

Incidentally, I'll just assume that BTP isn't doing the hide behind his computer screen thing and is just giving me some friendly ribbing. Since you and I don't have a long history, I don't have any reason to think otherwise.

I first doubted the coupon, it looks very 'home made'. I'll go over to borders now and give it a go.
