The item to be purchased must be at least $10 to qualify.

Good point. My intel is what I remember from about 5 - 6 years ago.

Whoops, sorry, I mis-read speedy's post (and just assumed he'd be right, which I think is generally a safe bet )
As a *current* Borders employee, I can verify that the total purchase is what must be $10--it can be a single item you're using the coupon on, or 87 items that add up to $10.

I read recently in the Caribbean Business (Puertorican business newspaper) about the expansion that Borders will have globally. Here in PR, they are going to open 5 new store ( for a total of 8 Borders in the Island), including one that it literally 5 minutes away from the Borders I usually go to. So the website split is not that surprising at all, but I wonder if they are going to keep amazon.com prices or are they going to go retail with their DVDs. I also wonder if they are going to accept their weekly coupons online.

At the risk of sounding stupid, how exactly do you use Borders gift cards on Amazon.com? I'm trying, but it won't let me. Both Amazon proper and Borders.com tell me that "Borders gift cards can only be used on Borders items." Huh? I'm entering my Return Gift Card code where it says to enter gift card codes at checkout. Trying to get Eclipse "Early Bergman".
Thanks...

Search for your DVD, book or CD. Add it to your cart. [Note: You need to add the item while you are on the Borders website, not on the Amazon.com website].
Once you add the item to your cart, the next screen should take you back to Amazon.com.
Hit proceed to Checkout. During the Checkout process, enter your Borders Gift Card. (The item in your cart should have a little notation that says, "Sold by Borders teamed with Amazon.com").
As long as you have at least one item in your cart that was placed in there while you were on Borders.com, you can use your Borders GC to pay for the entire order on Amazon.com. You can only use one GC per order.

Thanks FangsFirst, but I'm still having the same problem, doing exactly what you say. Rather than go crazy with this, I'll probably spend the extra few bucks at a Borders store Tuesday when this comes out.

Our registers are spitting out 25% coupons right now though, for 3/29-4/1. Should be e-mailed as well nearer that time.
