And I was right, it is coded to look for DB, unfortunately you will only be able to find this out from employees.

It is DVDs ONLY (so dualdiscs will not count, since they're generally considered music primarily--out of curiosity, are you thinking of the talking heads box? man that thing is tempting...) so that means anything that's (correctly shelved) with DVDs.

And the register should automatically tell if it's a DB or not...

guess we'll see, eh?

I already have the Heads set. I'm gonna try it with the Bjork set I think.

Not a bad deal on the Preston Sturges 7 disc set from Universal ($36)......might grab it tomorrow since I have a gift card to burn.

Find a very, VERY nice Borders employee VERY quickly ;)

I just picked it up last night at a price I'll avoid making anyone jealous of with my employee discount.

I picked up the MST3K Vol. 10 boxset for 36.00 + tax, so anyone still looking for one can go today and try to find it.

There is one more left at the Borders at 4th Street Live in Louisville, KY. It is hidden in the "B" section of the TV DVD's. (Just thought my DVDTalk friends should have first crack at it... ;)

And it does look like a lot of the TV sets will work with this coupon. They had a display with Smallville, Angel, Buffy, Friends, etc. as part of the 20% off, so I would assume that the coupon works with those as well. (May not be the best deals though.)

picked up I LOVE LUCY season 1 (7 disc version in the 4 skinny thin cases) for $23+tax. i didn't have a rewards card and the cashier (of course) started to give me grief before reading the coupon over, which doesn't even mention the rewards program and it and worked fine without a rewards card.
i did want to get this at dvdplanet for $20 with google checkout -$10 off $30, but this is another one of those titles that's out of stock forever at dvdplanet and i got sick of wondering if it would be back in stock before the promotion ended.
still a good deal considering the 9 disc version of I LOVE LUCY season 1 used to be around $100 at one time.

Everytime I use a non rewards coupon they look at it so closely or tell me even before they see it that you need a rewards card. It's like they are on autopilot.

jeffrey r 12-08-06 12:29 PM

I still don't quite understand the resistance to just signing up and using the rewards card. It's free, you get coupons, you earn personal shopping days, you earn holiday rewards (free money). And it literally took about 5 seconds to sign up at the register. It seems like a no-brainer to me.

MrE 12-08-06 01:32 PM

Definitely a no-brainer. My $40 set came to $24 with the coupon. I paid $.14 after using my rewards!

btlives 12-08-06 01:40 PM

My Borders would not let me combine the
coupon & personal shopping day together.
I called another and they said they would
but did not have the dvd set I wanted.

I rather just buy online. Its ALOT easier.

i'd rather just make a nameless, faceless purchase, get 40% off and be on my way.
i've worked for a bulk mail firm- they buy and sell lists of demographics/addresses. direct marketing sucks. i limit giving out personal information, address and phone numbers to retailers who use or sell that info to demographic mail lists, phone services and email lists that bombard you with crap. there obviously is some incentive for businesses to gather information about you, it's not just about giving you free money.
just my choice based on work experience.

Shoot! I just used my coupon for something else (one of the $80 Sharpe sets). Does anyone know if I can use another copy of the coupon at another store for this, or are they really stringent on the "one coupon per customer" thing?

dx23 12-08-06 03:49 PM

You can use as many coupons as you like. Borders almost never enforces the one coupon per day rule.

Laser Movies 12-08-06 04:22 PM

Picked up the Humphrey Bogart Collection volume 2 for $14.30 using the coupon and my Holiday Savings Rewards cash.

I did sign up for a borders rewards card and i've been getting tons of marketing emails from them since i signed up. I even unsubscribed and I'm still getting emails. It's just the fact that they need to look at it before they say anything. It's just common sense.

Sweet :) . I'll definitely be using this one (Naruto Box Set 2). Hopefully, my borders will let me use my holiday rewards with this.

Thanks!

I was able to use mine with my purchase this afternoon.

zxqv7 12-08-06 05:45 PM

Once again, this board saves me money. I picked up Mission Impossible season 1 using the 40% off coupon, and with the $15 discount I had on my reward card via e-rewards, I spent $14, with tax, for it. Thanks to the OP.

cdollaz 12-08-06 07:12 PM

I was able to use it on the Bjork Dualdisc set, but YMMV from store to store.

Lt Ripley 12-08-06 07:19 PM

I can confirm the Seven Samurai being included as a box set. The price came to $32 with sales tax. Thanks for the heads up on this coupon.

boc4ever 12-08-06 09:08 PM

Picked up Eerie, Indiana for $20.99 and Titus Seasons 1 & 2 for $17.99 Cashier did separate transactions, but no issues otherwise.

Depends on the store.
They asked us to start cracking down around the time the coupons moved to "one coupon per customer per valid period."
Some stores paid attention, some did not.

Well:
1) The phone number CANNOT be used. We don't take down an area code. It is PURELY for account retrieval (since everyone knows their own phone number).

2) The e-mails are optional (you can, if you are that insistent, sign up through the 1-800 number on the card WITHOUT an email address). Also, you can get a hotmail, yahoo, etc account to let them dump to even if you never look at them.
And we do not sell this information. We use it for emails, and to keep track of spending (but we do NOT keep track of WHAT you buy, just how much).

If you still don't want to, that's fine, but just in case any of the above changes your mind...

Technically, if there are any available for shipping, they could honor the coupon and have the set sent to you for free. If, again, there are any available for shipping from the distributor.

kenbenobi 12-08-06 11:54 PM

Oops, I really shoulda read this thread more carefully. I was planning on using it tomorrow. Oh well...

Preterite 12-09-06 12:05 AM

Found the MST3K Vol 10 set and was able to use the coupon again! My two purchases were at different stores, so that probably helped. Thanks to those who posted this.
