Not that it matters now, but if you go to the listing for the one version of Zodiac that comes up in search, there's a section titled "Other Formats" which is where you can get to the Director's Cut.

Barnes and Noble's website usually only shows one DVD version of a movie when you search. It's kinda confusing.

Thanks... I guess that explains it!

The coupon list is updated.

Laser Movies 07-14-08 12:13 PM

List updated. Nothing new added just removing some expired coupons from the list.

Sounds like B&N is going to try something new. This link says something about a savings card, that apparently you get when you renew. You can use it online and in-stores (or so it says) but there is no printable portion (yet).

It sounds just like their standard 20% off renewal coupon. I'm not sure what makes it a "savings card".

kenbenobi 07-15-08 07:01 PM

FYI to all, Get Smart S1 pre-order is at 30% off right now. Combined with membership, the Visa link (for free shipping), and a 15% off coupon, it comes to $14.xx shipped. Great bargain for a great show!

I think this is an offer B&N sends in the mail to some members to try to get them renew their memberships, and they started calling it a savings card instead of a coupon. It appears they send a online code along with a store coupon. B&N seems to issue one of these monthly, and I noticed recently they started calling it by the new name. Here's a few links to previous offers that are similar to the one you saw. If you notice one month it was a coupon, but the next month it was called a savings card. You're correct it is like a regular renewal coupon. Except there is no printable online store coupon available for this one.

I preordered the companion book to the new Warner Bros documentary using the 20% off coupon .

I just noticed that the 3 portals that can be used for free shipping only provide free shipping on books, cds and dvds. I wanted to order a game and the "Toys and Games" category doesn't come up if you use those links.

I'll update the information on the main coupon list when I have more time. I was wondering if there was a way to get around that but it appears there is not. I tried adding a game to my cart through the normal B&N web site and then going through one of the free shipping links. The game was still there in my cart but it wouldn't let me checkout. I got the following message when I tried to go through the checkout process.


! The following merchandise cannot be purchased on the Barnes & Noble.com Business to Business order path. If you wish to checkout with your current contents, please return to www.bn.com.

Updated the coupon list. Removed the expired coupons and added several new ones. I found a new 20% code that looks like it will work if you have a Barnes & Noble Mastercard. However it's not active yet on my account. Might be interesting to see if it will work with other credit cards when it's activated. Since there is not a start date listed for the coupon it could get activated anytime.

Also is anyone able to get coupon code C3V4T9A to work on pre-orders? The code was supposed to start working July 16, but so far I can't get it to work on anything I added to my cart that is a pre-order. Unless there is confirmation the code is working I will leave it off the current list of active coupons.

I couldn't get it to work either. When did they change to Java checkout screens? I must not have bought anything in a while...

Laser Movies 07-21-08 11:20 PM

They made the checkout changes about a week ago.

alfonsosoriano 07-27-08 02:09 AM

That's a great deal on Zodiac 2-disc. Count me in at $15 shipped.

Watson2 07-27-08 11:16 PM

Can I use:

Barnes & Noble MasterCard Cardmembers
To save an Extra 20% ONLINE, enter coupon code N7P8K9P at checkout. The 20% discount will be applied to the highest-priced item in your cart when using a B&N Mastercard. This coupon expires January 1, 2009 at 2:59 a.m. Eastern Time.

with the free shipping (Visa) link? It hasn't been working for me.

Laser Movies 07-27-08 11:53 PM

I updated my post since the code is working and I can answer the question about the Visa link. I tested the B&N Mastercard code through the Visa link and it worked fine using my B&N Mastercard. Since I used a non members account for the test a 5% discount, free shipping stacked with the 20% coupon. It should also work with the Military.com and auto club links. I think the big question is will the code work with other credit cards besides a B&N Mastercard, or at least any Mastercard. So far I don't have an answer for that question.

Laser Movies 07-28-08 12:40 PM

The main coupon list is now updated. Removed several expired coupons and added some new ones. I also added the new 20% B&N Mastercard coupon to the active list this morning since it is now working. I have B&N Mastercard and it worked on both a members and non-members account when tested. If the code works with other credit cards please post so I can update the information. It's also the last week to use the member 20% off coupon before it expires next week. But there is another new 20% member code to replace it after it expires.

I just placed my first order in a long time. I see that their new system no longer stacks coupons with the member's discount. When using the 20% coupon, plus membership discount, it used to take 30% off of their online sale price. Now it deducts the coupon first, then the member's discount after (which is how it always worked in-store, but online it used to combine them and deduct at once). I know it isn't all that much more (56 cents more in the order I just placed) but it all adds up...
Anyway, I ordered Robot Chicken Star Wars for $8.47 shipped using a 15% coupon, and Heroes S2 for $21 shipped using a 20% coupon...
Office S4 is also at 30% off right now, in case anyone is looking for bargains. I'll be ordering that soon. I still have like $100 in gift cards from them...

I'm confused. I haven't made any purchases since the recent web site upgrades. However, when I add an item to my cart and go through checkout I'm getting the members discount taken off before the coupon is applied. Anyway I compared the discounts to an item I added to my cart to something I purchased back in May. Both items had the same identical price before a 10% members and 15% coupon discounts were subtracted. When the discounts were deducted from the cart item the final price was exactly the same as the May order. I'm not seeing anything different in price calculations with member and coupon discounts. Am I missing something?

Last week, I ordered a $39.99 item that was 15% off and used a 15% coupon and my membership. The discounted cost was calculated like this:

$39.99 - $6.00 (15% off list price) = $33.99 (online price) - $3.40 (10% member discount) = $30.59 - $4.59 (15% off coupon) = $26.00

I noticed this was a little more than my personal calculation (I always like to check using a calculator to make sure the discounts are applied correctly!). For the past few years, B&N would indeed lump the online discount and the coupon together like this:

$39.99 - $6.00 (15% off list price) = $33.99 (online price) - $8.50 (25% discount = 10% member discount + 15% off coupon) = $25.49

Not a huge difference, but B&N have definitely changed the way the discounts are applied. Basically, it looks like any coupon is taken off the member price now, whereas previously the coupon percentage was added to the member discount before being applied to the online price.

Okay now I see what's going on. I went back through my order history and from what I can tell B&N started changing the calculations on orders I placed as far back as April that look like the first example given. Members price was calculated off the online price, and the members coupon discount calculated off members price. Orders from earlier months appeared to get calculated like the second example you gave that combined them together. It doesn't appear the recent web site upgrade had anything to do with the calculation changes since B&N started doing this several monthes ago.

The change must have occurred sometime in April then. My April 7 order calculated the old way, with the members discount and coupon combined and taken off at the same time. I didn't place another order until July 15.
