Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2

I was informed by a kind B&N employee that the November 50% off Criterion sale starts on November 11th and runs until the 30th. I guess we will see then.

The 10th seems likely, although that first weekend will be 'off-cycle' for member coupons.

I used to pass on this deal, as the discount (11.7%) was lower than what I could score on Cardpool. However, Cardpool recently got greedy and reduced the discount on all their B&N cards from 18% to 8%, making this the better deal.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2

^ Yea, I checked old e-mail and found 18% and 16% discounted orders from Cardpool. It noticed it was down to 10% a few days ago, and I had to edit my previous post when I checked again and saw it was 8%. Eff them at 8%!

Someone mentioned Cardcash in another thread. I jumped on there and grabbed a 15% discounted e-code. To avoid getting burned, I used it right away on BN.com, and will return the item for credit on a new giftcard once it's arrived. That way, I don't have to worry about it expiring or the balance magically 'disappearing'.

EDIT: I figured the BN free $10 card to be an 11.7% discount this way:

Amount of discount/total value

$10/$85 = 11.7%

As a test, I tried a $100 giftcard purchased for $75, knowing it's a 25% discount:

$25/$100 = 25%

I could be wrong! :scratch2:

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2

2 questions about the buy $75, get $10 deal:
If you purchase in store, do they give you a physical gift card right away, but it won't work until December 26?
Whether you do in store or online, does the promotional gift card expire?

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2

Is everyone else still getting snail mail 20% member coupons?

I've never been able to get these sent to me in spite of the number of accounts I've had.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2

I have not received e -coupons since the beginning of the year and regular mail coupons since June. Telephone customer service gives the wrong answers and on-line customer service doesn't even reply. B&N must have some software program indicating when coupons shouldn't be issued to individual members. Since there is no one to write or talk to, there is no way to get answers and /or complain to.

I think you may be on to something there. It sure is one strange system they try to maintain.

If your membership is about to expire then the best way I know is to let it and re-sign with a brand new e-mail address (you get a new account number and card). If you have an alternate mailing-billing address with a different CC and phone number you have a chance at getting back in both lists.

I do this every time, twice a year! It seems they are now 'wise' to me, not sending e-coupons to either of my last two accounts. I always use a new e-mail, credit card, and fake phone number, but my address remains unchanged (for obvious reasons).

What you should do is sign up a bunch of email addresses using the gmail dot trick. Then when you see which gmail accounts get coupons switch over your account to one of those addresses. BTW, you can use more than one dot if you need more email addresses.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2

Like last time I'm hoping that the codes will be reusable. If someone will post or PM their used 20% code, I would greatly appreciate it!

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2

Just got a 15% off coupon through my e-mail but it expires on the 8th before the Criterion Sale! Ugh, I just wanted to pick up Mulholland Drive.

We'll most likely get another in two weeks in plenty of time for the CC sale.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2

I am shut of of e-coupons on my current, active account. I'd very much appreciate a 20% member coupon for a book on my wishlist. Thank you!

I haven't heard anyone try with the Mailer 20% codes, but if you used one it might be worth checking in online to see if it;s still active. There might be some use for it in the first couple hours of the Criterion Sale for online orders before the official expiration minute.

My 20% member

Spoiler:

a Couple 15% universals -- I don't think these have been used at all (yet)

Spoiler:

A couple more confirmations of them working other accounts would be useful. Reports if they don't work for eligible maybe even more so

I just tested out the 20% code online and it works. You used it right? I wonder if the other glitch is still in effect, the one where they took off 20% even after the code I put into the system expired.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2

It seems that %-off coupons no longer stack with B2G1 promotions (such as the current DC & Marvel graphic novel sale).

$5 off $50+ did work for me though.

They were rarely filling those orders in past years from my experience. I am pretty sure that Barnes & Noble has someone manually check orders over a certain dollar amount before getting shipped out.

It's probably for the better as temptation would often get the better of me.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2

I regularly (3-4 times a year) get snail mail coupon folios as a Member...but for the longest time, I couldn't get the emails! It took 3 different accounts being registered to get them...and then they suddenly started appearing in all three.

My mom loves the Holiday Spice tins of tea that BN sells, they usually have a coupon for beverages and/or teas/coffees in the mailers this time of year. If anyone could spare some, let me know.

Seriously?!? Damn, that sux, I was planning on doing just that with the graphic novel sale =/

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2

Is there a way to print out a temporary membership card for new members until the real one arrives in the mail? In previous years I used a trial membership and was able to do that but I just signed up for an actual membership and don't see the option to print one out. If not what information will I need to use the membership in store for the Criterion sale?

Oh great, thanks!

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2

Anyone have an extra 20% in store coupon they don't want to use this weekend? trying to get a specific vinyl.
