I guess B&N will send them out later.

Laser Movies

Should have some new printable store coupons tomorrow to post, but if you are looking for the coupons in the mail it appears they are just starting to show up for a few people now. If you get those they probably would show up sometime this week I would imagine.

BigSue

I got it yesterday. There are two 20% off coupons, 1 for $20 off of a Nook Simple Touch or Nook Color, and two other food related ones.

Laser Movies

I'm still waiting. I always seem to get them a few days after they start arriving.

Laser Movies

New printable coupons are now available. Also have some more online codes. Three more 20% member codes and a 15% code for all customers.

TerryW

Thanks! I haven't received mine yet. Only the Nook $20 one.

Spiderbite

Hey LASERMOVIES! Another ditto on all the good work you do.

Before I toss in an order, do you now of any chance there might be a 20% off coupon coming down the road for non-members anytime soon? Thanks.

Laser Movies

At the moment I don't know of any new 20% coupons for non-members coming. For a while there were some BN Buzz 20% coupons popping up regularly, thanks to kenbenobi for getting most of those, but they seemed to have disappeared. I guess it's possible they could start showing up again, but there is no guarantee they will.

Texts for 20% off in store keep arriving from BN Buzz, but nothing for online.

Laser Movies

That's interesting to know. It has been about 2 weeks since the last online Buzz coupon expired. I wonder if they may have stopped the online codes because they discovered they were getting leaked for anyone to use. With the store coupons they have better control who gets and can use them since you have to have a cell phone to receive the texts with the coupon information. They may show up again, but maybe they will start issuing unique one use codes to make it harder to share them.

kenbenobi

Yep, same here. I was debating posting those, but it is definitely YMMV on using a coupon from a text that you can't show the clerk. The one I got yesterday is 503621. The previous two were 503611 and 503601. The store codes tend to follow a pattern for a while, but the online ones never do. March 28 is when I received the last online text.

Laser Movies

It might be worth a shot if there are no other store coupons available. I think I would tell the cashier my cell phone battery went dead and left it in the car to charge. However I managed to copy the coupon number before it died and if I can apply it to my purchase. That might convince them to run it through.

kenbenobi

That's a pretty good story... Might actually work. OK, I'll continue to post the in-store coupons in here...

Two new coupons in my email today.

Good today only (5/7/12)

Members 25% off one item
W7H7V3N

Non-Members 20% off one item
D7D8U8F

What should I buy? Any good deals out there?

What constitutes an 'eligible item'? I just tried all 4 current member codes as listed on the 1st page (to purchase 1 DVD) and none of the codes work, details citing "! Your order does not qualify for coupon K9M9X8K (etc.). Please check the eligibility requirements for this coupon." Eligibility requirement details cite "The additional 20% discount will be applied to the most expensive eligible item in the order". I have not used these new codes yet (I used the code which expired this morning, but I've used none of the ones which are good until June 1st), so I'm assuming I should be eligible for them. Is there a dollar value attached to 'eligible item'? It doesn't specify any in the details. I've used the last $80 of my $100 gift card using these codes to buy 1 DVD at a time, I don't see why it should suddenly stop working now. Just wanted to ask here before I call B&N and make a fool of myself. I've made a fool of myself here before so one more time shouldn't hurt too much... -kd5-

Laser Movies

Thanks for posting. I saw those in my emails this morning for B&N. Unfortunately only valid for one day. I'll have to try and find something to use the 25% code on.

I checked and the coupon seems to be working for me with a DVD in my cart. What DVD were you trying to order? Was it a pre-order?

Laser Movies

I think B&N added coupon restrictions to some of the DVD and blu-ray titles. I got the same message when I added the original version of Casino Royale on blu-ray to my cart. It says it's not eligible with the new 25% code.

kd5

No, it wasn't a pre-order, this one in particular was Journey to the Center of the Earth

If they in fact added restrictions, I would think they would need to list said restrictions in the details...

I have a little over $11 left on my gift card, I was hoping to get that and Fahrenheit 451 with what was left. With 20% off each one I could've gotten both. Darn it.

I wonder if it would make a difference to call them? -kd5-

Laser Movies

I noticed B&N did add a disclaimer on those DVDs they do not qualify for coupon discounts. If you look below the product overview it has the following posted.

I have a feeling it is the same for Casino Royale on blu-ray, but I saw nothing on the product page saying anything about coupons not being allowed on that title. You could try calling but it's probably ymmv they would help if you tried a phone order.

kd5

I would not have expected to see something like that, therefore I would not have even thought to look for it. That's pretty lame of them to exclude certain titles from coupons, from their members. B&N probably figured these titles were cheap enough, why give us a chance to get them any cheaper? Well, I may just hang on to what's left and add it to the next $100 B&N gift card I get probably 6 months from now. I have a few DVDs in my wish list, but nothing that I'm craving besides the ones I wanted to get. Oh well... -kd5-

Laser Movies

Not everything is marked that is not eligible with coupons, but it seems they are restricting it on things marked down on sale. The coupon restrictions have been becoming more common of late on sale items at B&N. If this is going to be the future trend they can count on me becoming a former customer. I still have a few months remaining on my current membership and can't see renewing it if they are going to keep adding restrictions and eliminating or cutting discounts. Since March my DVD and blu-ray purchases have dropped way off at B&N. I expect I may pick up a few Criterions during the next sale if it happens in July since I have some gift cards to use, but probably far fewer if coupons are not allowed if that is the direction B&N is starting to go.

Let's see, Amazon's membership continues to offer customers more like the prime videos while BN continues to take more away from the customers. What a retarded business model. The membership used to be a great deal with a 10% savings added to these coupons. Free shipping alone can't justify the membership cost.

Even their criterion sale isn't that exciting anymore when Amazon regularly prices criterions at the $20 mark or less.

Laser Movies

If you're still interested in those DVD titles I would suggest trying again. It appears B&N removed the coupon restrictions after the one day coupons expired. I noticed it still has the disclaimer on the product page about coupons not being allowed, but when I tested a 20% coupon it did apply the discount. Might want to jump on it in case they impose the coupon restrictions again.

I agree free shipping alone would not justify having a B&N membership. If they keep playing games with coupons by coming up with more restrictions I don't know why they even bother having them. As a consumer it is definitely a turn off when there is frequent change of rules of what you can and can't do. If anything it is more likely going to make me decide to purchase from someone else.

However I disagree on the Criterion sale unless B&N imposes coupon restrictions next time. Up through the last sale I was getting $40 list Criterions well below Amazon's sale prices online and at stores. It was still a special sale I looked forward to twice a year.

kd5

That's just wonderful of them to do that after I'd already decided to buy one of the 2 DVDs I'd planned to use the rest of my gift card for (less discounts). Now I don't have enough left to get the other one...

With the games they like to play, I doubt that I'll continue with this membership once the trial runs out. Besides, $25 would negate any savings I've accrued anyway, and with my next (potential) gift card 6 months away (or longer), it wouldn't be worth it to me to keep it. Any time I saved money with my member discounts, the $25 annual membership fee would nullify the savings. -kd5-

Perhaps we are starting to see the first signs of a post-Borders b&m bookstore monopoly. If so, it's a mistake and it won't work. Now with Amazon apparently taking on some new and vastly inferior pricing policies and structuring and more and more states adding sales tax, it would be a good time for B&N to seize some of their castoff business. Instead they are discouraging same by imposing new restrictions that make their already diminished appearance shine even less.

Why do businesses always think they have to reinvent the wheel?
