Are we to assume that when B&N has one of these time sensitive coupons that it's always EST? I looked, but didn't see a time zone listed for the coupon today.

I found out from Barnes and Noble Customer Service that if you are even a previous member, they will not give you a free trial membership. I got the two month free trial last December and they told me I'm out of luck because of that. I think that is kind of ridiculous overall and may alienate some people.

Just use a different e-mail address to sign-up. (And possibly a different credit card. Virtual/disposable credit card numbers would come in handy here.)

Laser any 20% off coming soon?

I don't mean for the trial membership you can get for two months. As a Border Rewards member you are entitled to a free membership until 1/31/2012 because BN bought the customer list from Borders. If you are a current or have had a membership with B&N they will not give you a membership for your Borders Rewards Plus membership which I think is ridiculous. I am a little annoyed about that overall as I have considered purchasing the B&N membership but held off. Nowhere in any email does it state you can't even be a previous member of B&N to be eligible. Frustrating overall.

Soooo, can't you still just use a different email address to get the "former Borders Rewards member" free membership? Or do you have to use the same email you used with Border Rewards Plus?

Okay look for some new ones later in the week valid from Oct. 20 through Oct 24. Might be able to find them a day or two earlier.

It would be nice to stack a few coupons on top of my membership discount and 50% off sale.

$5 off $50 and 20% would make for a nice run. Would make three around $48 after tax.

My suspicion is they are no longer giving rebates on orders on which a coupon was used. And that's pretty much all of mine.

I got a very helpful woman that at least appeared to know what she was doing. I explained what happened and she quickly calculated what I should have received. She put me on hold for a while to check into the matter. When she came back she asked that I wait until the next billing cycle to make sure B&N posts the cashback. She claimed it could take a couple of cycles but was concerned something was wrong since they already gave me 20 cents on the last statement. However she said if nothing posts by the next cycle she would go into my account and manually credit me for the missing amount. Gave me her name and ID, and said to call back next month after the deadline if I don't see the updated credit. Hopefully she keeps her word. Also glad they are not requiring me to send faxes.

Well I have an update on the cashback problems with Discover card. I talked with a supervisor today who confirmed their policy is not to give cashback if you use a coupon on a order at B&N. She said it's written in the terms and disclosure on their web site. Specifically she quoted the offer is not valid in combination with any another offer. Looks like you were correct jwstl. I suppose this is going to be the new trend with the other cashback web sites when it comes to B&N coupons and earning cashback. If one does it all probably will follow soon.

I was also supposed to get about a $12 cashback credit by my next Discover card statement and of course that came and went without receiving it. Now I'm told I have to wait until the next statement in November before it will post. I think if I ever get it I'm going to cash out and cancel my card. I might as well stick with my B&N Mastercard that gives me a 5% rebate directly on my statement with each B&N purchase when I use it.
