Here is fine, but I have a weekly thread in this bargain forum for a complete list of that week's exclusives. Or the master list is in my sig if you want to correct any older exclusives we missed. Thanks again.

My local FYE's and Suncoasts are having a huge debate about whether or not Backstage Pass holders get 10% more cash or credit on used sells. Currently only one store in OK does it. Does anyone know if their local FYE or Suncoast is still doing the 10% more (at least) credit when you do a use sell with a Backstage Pass? If so, list your state. Much appreciated. Oklahoma dvdtalk boardies are counting on you.

These codes seem to work still. 10% off of new dvds (maybe music too. Not usable on used items, but it does apply to any new item put in shopping cart mixed with used).

WELCOMEMPTEN

I'm not sure what restrictions there are, but it's worth a look. I used the bottom one today at 7 AM

From what we have been told, this is a chainwide ongoing promo to get more BSP subscribers.

izatright

Exactly. But apparently it's up to me and the lone store that's still doing it to prove it to the district manager and the other stores. Thanks for your two-cents!

Any updates for this week's releases? I'm particularly interested in the Smallville Season 6 HD-DVD set. Thanks.

db27

updated for instore, sorry I haven't been keeping up, but seems peeps lost interest

db27

No rebates on Smallville, sorry!

i haven't picked up death proof pre-order yet... but do i still qualify for a $7 MIR even though i pre-ordered? or does it have to be a "new" purchase?

Manzana

db27, I haven't lost interest. Even though I usually don't post anything, I always check your FYE thread weekly because I have several FYE giftcard and with BSP 10% off and the rebates, sometimes FYE new release deals are the best. Please keep posting the updates if you can each week. Thanks.

By the way, when you say preordering gives you a $2 coupon and with something else it's essentially free, do they charge you $2 to preorder or is it essentially a way of getting an extra $2 (close to 10%) on top of the BSP and the rebates when a DVD comes out? (That's assuming the purchase date for the rebate is when you pick it up and not when you preorder it.)

db27

thanks dude I will keep it up as best i can!

some preorders only require a $2 deposit, and all preorders should indeed give you a $2 coupon towards a future purchase (you may need to ask) so sometimes the reservation is essentially free, or only $3 given the coupon. However, the coupon is good toward a future purchase and some managers may not allow you to use it on a new release because the coupon is supposed to be off of non-sale items. However, many like myself will still honor it because the key here is getting repeat customers and loyalty.

hope that helps

There is a $10 MIR for buying it online. That, plus the $10 off $35 paypal coupon makes it a sweet $36.

Since the paypal coupon is multi-use, Stargate Atlantis Season 3 is also a good deal at ~$16 after MIR and paypal coupon. However, you'll have to find a $0.99 filler to get to the $35 minimum.

Sweet Baby James

Thanks. I'm going to order it with the WELCOMEMPTEN 10% off coupon instead of going the paypal route. I have quite a few FYE gift cards that I need to use up.

when can you pre order steelbook transformers?

db27

anytime

johnsun

Hi. It was posted in the Exclusive thread that the rebate for Death Proof required the UPC code.. I thought I might ask here as it might get more eyes and db's attention..

Just wondering if they can confirm if they want you to cut out the UPC code from the cover for the rebate? I ordered online and used the rebate and they only wanted the email confirmation and packin slip..
Later

laserdogg

I have had success using the FYE UPC price sticker - peeled it off and applied it to a 3x5 card for inclusion in the rebate mailing. It's always worked for me.

I wouldn't cut my packaging up for anything - I'd quit doing the MIR thing first

db27

it is totally acceptable to use the yellow price sticker

Imail724

So, the Transformers steelbook will be exclusive to FYE?

db27

According to the information we have obtained at the store level, we will have the exclusive US rights to the steelbook version. No idea how limted quanities will be at this point.

Exclusive to Transworld, so I would assume Suncoast, Sam Goody, Wherehouse, Strawberries, Specs, Coconuts, FYE, and whatever other companies we own at this point will have them.

shyguy1083

can the $5 off planet terror coupon be used when you're pre-ordering the movie? i haven't picked up the movie yet so i don't know if the coupon has a specific start date.

i already pre-ordered planet terror at the same time i pre-ordered death proof and just paid in full for both. any idea if they'd return the item, then re-ring it again and allow for the $5 coupon to be used? or should i just have them cancel the pre-order then buy it again later.

The online purchases usually don't require a UPC. Just follow the instructions on the form exactly. Make sure you save copies of everything you submit. If your submission does get rejected, you can usually get it straightened out with a phone call. They will have you fax everything to them.
