Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

It was $65 with a 30% off sticker. So about $45.
I mentioned I had a code and told her the code. Took 40% off after my 10 percent.
Also had a 8/40 but she wouldn't take it.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

Just scored the Zatoichi set for less than $60.:banana: The cashier took the 40% off coupon and also applied the $5 off of $50. She was a little confused and almost called over the MOD, but she was able to figure it out. Huge appreciation to Laser for providing the link to the 40% off instructions and for all of the hard work that he does in helping a deadbeat like myself save a few(more like several) bucks.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

You came out a little better than I did for the Zatoichi set. However I did manage to use the 40% on the Zatoichi box, the 30% coupon on Ministry of Fear, and topped it off with the $5/50. Because that worked out so well went to a different store and used another 40% coupon on Shoah, a 30% for Life is Sweet, and also got I Married a Witch with the $5/$50 coupon thrown in. The only problem I ran across at both stores was they thought the 40% and 30% coupons were the same coupon. They were only going to let me use one them. I had to make them look closer at the coupon numbers before they would apply the 40% off coupons. I made paper print outs, but otherwise everything went smoothly.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

Anyone having luck getting any of the coupons (30% or 40%) accepted on Criterions at any NYC location? Union Square, which used to be very liberal, flat out rejected any coupon use on Criterions during the sale.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

You have to know which clerks to go to at that location. They used to be very liberal as you say, but have really cracked down on the % off this sale for some reason. I have had no issue with other coupons. One associate told me it was a mandate from corporate due to their sales agreement with Criterion, but my gut tell me it was just a manager that made that decision.

Their reason for rejection has been that the Criterion sale was a promotion. When I went today and they said they couldn't take the % off coupons I politely asked what the difference was between a promotion and a discount as the coupon allows discounts but not promotions to be used in conjunction. The clerk said they would give it and shot and of course it worked. Was able to snag Lean Directs for a good discount.

For what it is worth, the Tribeca location has no issues. The Union Square location is more likely to accept on the weekends. Hope this helps.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

Thanks. I'll try TriBeCa and Citicorp this weekend.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

Likewise...

In fact, I presented $8 off $40 and $5 off $50, and the computer overrode $5 and refused $8. The cashier called a manager, he read the smallprint "will not work with other coupons... one per customer" and apologetically enforced the former...

...and passively encouraged flouting the latter!

So my trip was probably $50+ more expensive than I'd hoped, but will blanket 40% off about ten half-price titles, easily an excellent deal. Many thanks to laser et al. :)

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

Used the 40% off coupon twice today. Once in the movie section and again in the upfront registers. Worked flawlessly without any problem at all. Gonna make trip 2 tomorrow.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

I wish I could anyone know if you can do that? Maybe if I explain the distance they might.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

On a whim, I tried using the BFRIDAY40 online code on an order just to see if it would work. To my surprise, it did! I ordered "The Quiet Man", which is one of the 50%-off art house titles. It took $6 off of the $14.99 price, making it $8.99.

I placed the order from my tablet, so the url was m.barnesandnoble.com. It's possible that's the reason why it worked.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

That works. I was able to use that url on my PC and the coupon did apply when I entered it. The web site looks a little strange on my computer but I think you can make it work. Wonder if you can get a Criterion title through it with a coupon?

Answering my own question on the Criterion. The coupon didn't work.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

Great Catch!
Was able to use both the 30 and 40 codes on separate orders. Just for good measure, I used the regular site to buy a $75 egift card first for the extra $10 off a few weeks from now.
Picked up the Emma Peel set for $26 + tx w/ the 30 code,
then got House of Wax 3D for $17.96, and tossed in Nosferatu to get free shipping.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

thanks, worked just as mentioned - placed an order for the same title from my iPhone. what a price !!! Also purchased 'Rio Grande' and 'High Noon' earlier this afternoon from Amazon marketplace seller for about $17 after rewards points were applied. Have been wanting to add these for a long time - Olive titles are always expensive

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

How long did it take for the GC email to arrive? It's been a half hour, but I got nothin yet. I went ahead and placed my House of Wax 3D order cuz I want to go to bed. No stores in my area have it in stock. After I get up, I'll have to think of other stuff to get on multiple accounts. Thanks for finding the trick, bhauge! You rock! And Laser, of course, for finding the rogue coupon code...

I wonder if you could place an online-instore order over the phone...? Dictate details, code and card number...

Anyone been able to get them do this for you without going in store?

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

Using the 40% code and the mobile site, I've ordered Poldark: The Complete Collection for $25.26 after tax.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

Thanks for the tip on the mobile 40% off code! Got The Worlds End Blu for $16.50 w/ tax!

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

took about 10-15 minutes to get the email with the code.
Now I have to trust them to send the extra $10 one in three weeks.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

Tried using the 40% code for Zatoichi on the mobile site and got this:

Your order does not yet qualify for coupon BFRIDAY40. For coupons that requires a specific payment method, please check the validity after adding your payment method during checkout.

...any ideas?

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

Never tried...

Have you tried using the mobile site..?

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

I used it about twelve times in a row... with tacit managerial consent!

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

Nope! Unsurprised it won't work, but that's an odd message..

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

Tried Paypal and credit card on it. No help.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

Not sure what the payment message means, but Zatoichi is a Criterion title, so a coupon code will not work online (the page for the title says no coupons or promotions accepted for the title).

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
 

Other folks said they managed to use it in-store on the Zatoichi.
