Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Found out today the surprise coupons are coming later in the week. Could also mean there will be coupon restrictions for the Criterion sale. I remember they had these during the last Criterion sale and as soon as they started coming out they slapped on the restrictions making them virtually worthless online and at stores for the sale. If you have a membership you may have to rely on the $8 DVD/Blu and $5/$50 coupons at stores.
Coupons are already up at B&N.com. To receive a valid coupon with a barcode you have to be signed up and receiving email offers directly from B&N.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Sale appears to be live right now. Do I mass order or wait for coupons?
Also, I'm contemplating doing the 2 month free trial just to capitalize on this deal. How easy is it to cancel the trial membership? I thought I read in the past they would try to charge people the difference of the discounts they got before it was canceled. Is there any truth in this or was it just rumors?

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
If you have a membership the only current online code should work. Depending what you purchase it could save you up to $13. I have a feeling we might see online coupon restrictions when the surprise coupons start going out in a few days.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
If you have a nearby store -- wait for the coupons or use the BN Buzz code if you have it for the lowest prices (and the thrill of the hunt).
Cancellation is easy for the free trial and can be done online. Just do it before the 60 day auto renewal charge and you will be charged zero no matter how much you use it.
You only get deducted if you buy a full membership and then cancel after using discounts.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
what's with being charged right away for pre-orders? Ordered a couple of the post-sale titles on line and noticed the confirmation page said something about my card being charged the amount of the sale...checked my account and it has indeed already been charged - for something being released in December. wtf is that?

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Is it not a Temp charge? They are pretty standard and will fall off in a few days. Most every purchase I make lists that charge to make sure the card is active -- I thought this was SOP for CC.
My email states
"We will send you an email confirmation as soon as your merchandise has shipped. As always, you will not be charged until your order leaves our warehouse."
My CC lists 3 Temp charges for my preorders.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Coupon code R4B4J3K is for members. Should take $5 off a $50 purchase online, or $8 off a DVD and blu-ray title selling for $40 or more online. Actually both offers would stack if you can find something that qualifies. If you purchase a $40 title, and purchase another to put the total over $50 it would take $13 off.

I'm hoping for a non-member coupon in the next few days - I'm only planning on buying two discs, so I only need one!

I have $75 in my cart and the code won't appy, says not eligible. Not working on the cc sale apparently.

^That has to be it. I'm a member and the coupon code would not work with my pre-orders last night but it works today with in-stock items.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Unlike the store version of the coupon the pre or post sale price is irrelevant for the online version of the coupon. It has to have a price $40 or more for it to activate the $8 discount. Anything under won't qualify.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I've heard some people have been able to price match Barnes & Nobles 50% Criterion sale at Best Buy. 50% off Best Buy's Criterion prices = pretty good deal. YMMV though.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Does anyone know if AAA members still get 10% off?Can't remember if it was in store or online.
ADDED
Looks like it might be still available for members of AAA Mountainwest only.
Alaska, Montana and Wyoming.Most likely not a lot of B&N in these states.
But no discount for Oregon/ Idaho or California AAA members.

Heh, even if I was to price match Best Buy I would only be saving $0.53 compared to Barnes & Noble. $13.80 it comes out to with my membership discount and buzz code.

Ugh the coupon doesn't seem to be working on either Brazil or Qatsi.
Nevermind, I guess it doesn't work with pre-orders.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Got 4 of the coupon emails. 20% on one, 15% on the others. I have a $400 book I want to buy (seriously) so really wanted a 30% or 50% coupon. I'd kill for either of those...

I had been eyeing the Paul Robeson collection for quite a while... tossing that into my cart along with a $19.99 blu-ray gave me 50% off - $13. Can't beat that.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
The packaging on the Robeson set is very flimsy - the box is slightly too big for the contents so the whole thing is prone to inward crushing. My copy from bn.com arrived crushed, as did the replacement.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Purchased Sunday Bloody Sunday and Rosemary's Baby in blu in store. My membership expires today and I think I am done being a member for now. Will see what the holiday season brings as far as discounts but the only time I seem to buy at Barnes and Noble are the Criterion sales.
