most definitely getting

You've got Mail on Blu ray

maybe get the Dragon tattoo blu's as well (on sale at 40% already for the first 2 and 30% off for the 3rd)

if they had the scream blu's in stock I'd grab those as well

Apocalypse Now Full Disclosure BR - $27 before sales tax, minus $10 from Groupon ~ $20 total

I'm probably gonna spend ALL NIGHT researching what to get tomorrow. Last time I used the coupon around 20 times. Of course, I was combining it with B2G1F, and using 2 coupons at once. This time it is B1 Get 2nd for 50% off on TV seasons only. Same equivalent price, I know, but less of a reason for me to attempt to use 2 coupons on one purchase. So I'm sure I will use less coupons this time. Maybe only a dozen this time...

EDIT: Correction, B1 get 2nd 50% off IS NOT the equivalent to B2G1F, even if you are a member.
For instance, 3 $100 titles (using two 50% off coupons, then 10% off) would have been $45/$45/$0 last time, averaging $30 per title. This time, also using two coupons (one per purchase) it would be $45/$45 for two titles, then $45/$45 for another two titles, obviously averaging $45. So it isn't AS good, but still pretty good...

Anyway, in preparation for these coupons, I just re-upped for another 2-month trial membership. Perhaps I'll keep it this time. We'll see. Time to abuse the hell out of it...

I thought the b1g1 1/2 off was only for TV stuff???

I had a question about the term "stacking coupons" if anyone can help:

Is that when you try and use two coupons at once in a store or online?

Is that a YMMV type of thing?

When I go into my local B&N DVD department they barely want to let me even use one coupon let alone if I tried to use two at once.

Absolutely it is a YMMV deal. Some customer service reps won't think twice about adding coupons, others will read all the fine print.

The best strategy is to be polite, be patient, thank them for their help and consideration, and express your appreciation for anything they can do to stack the coupons.

Too bad the coupons expire before Tron comes out. I know you can still do Ship to Home, but you wouldn't be able to use the Disney coupon on top of the B&N coupon (IF the cashier was willing to do so). Hopefully the Disney coupon will come out early enough so that I can try that.

Oops, I didn't realize that. I thought it was all DVD's and BD's. DAMN! Time to start emptying my cart. I added a BUNCH of titles in to take advantage of that... It also doesn't appear to work on pre-orders, such as True Blood S3...

My plan is to use this on more of the Doctor Who DVDs that I need. I've found both the cheapest ones available and the ones that have the lowest amount in stock on Amazon. In total, it came out to 22 DVDs. 11 of them my store has, 11 of them my store doesn't. I compiled that into a list of which I want to get first, second, third, etc.

I don't know if I'll be able to or not, but ideally I would go in with a Member Coupon and a Non-Member Coupon. Do one in-store purchase and one ship-to-home order. kenbenobi, you used the coupon so much last time, do you think that's something I'll be able to do?

Why would you call? Just go in and ask. I've never tried calling in an order, but I would imagine you would be denied use of any coupons, as they need to be scanned and accounted for.

My experience has been that their in-store system will not allow ship-to-home if the item shows as "in-stock". I asked if I could do ship-to-home on a few Criterion titles during a past sale, as the only ones they had were in the old digi-packs. Since the UPCs were exactly the same, the clerk could not successfully enter the order, as the system would not permit it.

Awesome. A lot of the items I want are out-of-stock, so it looks like that would work out fine for me.

It's possible you could be correct but I noticed they flipped the numbers around this time. I posted the coupons in the sequence I found them. Last time the numbers ran from higher to lower. This time they did them lower to higher. Here is the link to the first batch of coupons in the order they were posted before. I assumed that could be how they did it. However someone is going to have to verify which coupons are actually 50% tomorrow to know for sure.

My closest B&N is 45 miles away, one-way. If I can arrange for a "ship-to-home" and still apply the coupon (I think they'll accept the code number), then that saves me a 90 mile trip. You're right that it is somewhat YMMV since the item needs to be OOS and they need to be willing to accept the coupon over the phone. I guess I need to brush up on my "shocked" voice when they tell me that my mystery coupon was good for 50% off

During the last batch I went in and, without thinking, said "Here's my 50% Off Coupon," and the cashier said, "Well it might be 50%, it could also be these other percentages as well." And I was like, "Oh yeah, you're right. Well hopefully it is 50% Off." When it turned out to be 50% Off, I think she knew something was up.

Well, you have a good reason not to go. You could play it up, tell them, your car is in the shop but you reeeaaally wanted to come in on account of the coupon you received. Anyway, it doesn't cost anything to make a call. The worst they can say is "no".

Absolutely! That's what I did last time. If you can do the Ship to Home from a counter elsewhere in the store, it should work like a charm. My store does ship to homes from the customer assistance counter, then they hand me a printout to go pay at a register. I was never turned down for pre-orders, but if it is in-stock at your store, they could say no.

I agree to everything you stated. Calling in will not work since the coupon must be scanned. As for ship to home, I do think there is a way for them to override it, cuz I'm pretty sure they did it for me once, when I said I was ordering it as a present so wanted it shipped to them directly. But YMMV on that... If it is in-stock at that store, they likely won't even attempt to place the order.

I checked all the stuff online. 11 of the items are in-stock at the store, and 11 are not. So I'll just make 11 different trips (or as many as I can) and get something in-store, and order something shipped-to-home.

And you're saying you don't have to do a ship-to-home for a DVD in the CD/DVD section of the store? Very interesting... Obviously that would make it much easier for multiple trips, lol.

It's possible some online coupons might show up but I can't make any guarantees or promises I will find any of them. I saw information for a series of online coupons ranging from 10% to 50% that appear to be separate from the mystery coupons. They had these during the last mystery coupon promotion but they never materialized anywhere to my knowledge online.

sorry am new to this, what code would I enter to use the 50%?? or do I have to buy multiple items to get the discount? Currently looking to get the Ten Commandments gift set blu ray. Be a nice price with 50% off

The coupons are valid for one item. They are printable store coupons that you have to use at a B&N store. You can't use them online. You can find all the coupons on the first page, but click the spoilers to see the store coupons to print out. However you will have to check back tomorrow to find out which coupons are worth 50% off.

thanks for clarifying it for me!! that helps

Yup, that's right. You can go to the customer service desk and do a ship-to-home, then saunter back into the Media department and do another. Just be sure one is not within earshot of the other.

You're welcome! You should be able to get a good price on the Ten Commandments gift set with the coupon if you order it at a store for a ship to home order. Might want to check store inventories at local stores to find one that doesn't have it, so they will let you order it for the online price. I would assume the store price could be the $89.99 list price.

check online, both stores in town are in stock and it just might be $89.99 unless they do sale price for the week of release which would be better.
