Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
On the unique 20% code, I'm getting "Item(s) in your bag are not eligible for this promotion". Any ideas as to why?

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Code works fine on other items. It's just a run-of-the-mill paperback from 2001. It's in-stock and sold by B&N. Odd. 
Edit: Got my answer from Help Chat: "This was uploaded by the supplier as a textbook."

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Not sure why then. I'm assuming none of the codes work for that item?
You could try calling in an order and seeing if the phone rep can tell why it isn't allowed or possibly manually add it. I've seen some items misclassified as textbooks or rentals, but those items get a different kick-out message.

ineligible
Besides the textbook thing (and BN gets weird about what it calls a textbook sometimes!) and preorders, another ineligible condition is when an item is just released and says "Add to Bag" but the ship date hasn't changed yet. Be sure to check when they say the book will arrive. That date is just under the Add to Bag button. Items will get hung up in that limbo sometimes and it takes a while (several days) for coupons to be eligible. Sometimes an item will say Add to Bag, the release date will change, and then it will change back a few hours later. (I ordered a really expensive book with the last 30% coupon that was like that for a few hours before turning back into a preorder!) BN's system can get strange right when an item is released.
I can find no real pattern to what they consider a "textbook" - some Dover books are "textbooks" while almost all of them are not. Some university press books not textbooks (like the one I ordered with the 30% coupon) and others are (like the one I got at the store with the 40% off coupon last Labor Day - yes, a "textbook" was at the store). I also don't understand why some books have online discounts and some don't (almost all the Dover math books I've gotten have a substantial online discount except the one I just got with the 25% coupon - thanks to everyone who volunteered their codes!) or how BN picks a shipping method (which seems totally random with no pattern whatsoever other than BN outsources some orders to fulfillers like Ingram, who use the worst shipping methods possible like UPS MI). BN is a mysterious world of its own.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Does anyone know if Barnes and Noble usually has a percent off your entire purchase coupon the first week in April? I've tried searching the forum, but it's been difficult for me to find anything. Thanks!

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Thank you!
% off whole purchase online codes are random and they don't seem to be a pattern when they show up.
Hard to tell if there is a pattern since %off Whole Cart codes really weren't common at all until June 2016 when they starting popping up fairly regularly.
Around holidays there can be some extra codes so with Easter coming it it wouldn't surprise me
If you want to keep an eye one BNAPR100 there is a decent chance this will be a live code sometime this month -- these style codes often go live on Fridays night/Sat morning.

Prices in-store and online don't match a lot of the time for books. I've usually found online to be cheaper.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
In the past few years, MSRP (cover price) for items (especially books) has risen significantly to "price in" steep online discounts. B&N sells stuff at MSRP in the store (with the few exceptions Hari noted like some new releases), so finding a deal at the store isn't easy. My store has less and less inventory, so I can't find much there these days.
I've found these two scenarios where I came out ahead buying something at the store: (1) Some books are "textbooks" online, and you can't use a coupon, but if the book is at the store, the store will let you use a coupon. Last Labor Day, I got a "textbook" with the 40% coupon. B&N can be really random with what it considers a textbook. And (2) some items have no online discount, and again B&N can be really random about this. If an item is full MSRP online, you can get the 10% member discount and then use a coupon, and come out slightly ahead.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Thanks for the updates and info. Not really a book person anymore (takes up way too much space and expensive compared to digital) but I'm def into movies (and maybe vinyl if I ever decide to buy a record player). I'll be sure to keep my eyes on this in case any studio prices hit their sales so I can make the walk to the store.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I haven't done this in a while so I can't remember. If I special order something in-store, do I get the 10% membership discount or is it treated like an online order? Thank you.

20% off single item code --
7SNK3Z3FE1GX7 expires 5/15/2017 2:59am ET
appears to be re-usable online. It even worked on a non member acct so maybe even a bit more useful than the prior code. This one has been used online already so any chance that it works instore if manually entered is a big YMMV even once, much less re-usable until someone tries. I've tried to quit assuming with these codes anymore since each set seems to act just a little differently

My Arrow haul:
Day of Anger
Requiescant
Cemetery Without Crosses
Blood and Black Lace
Nikkatsu Diamond Guys 1
Massacre Gun
Blind Woman's Curse
I kept considering getting Mark of the Devil, but after watching the trailer (4 or 5 times) I just couldn't see myself enjoying it.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
1) If you order it to the store, then pay upon delivery... it's through store register... store price + 10% off
2) if they order and you pay upfront... it's though the online website... online price, no 10% discount

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Can't remember if you are close to a store, but I've done several of these over the phone. If you have a clerk/store that will do it then everything works the same except the store wouldn't allow me to use a Gift Card and I had to use a Credit Card. 2 of the 3 stores I called in December let me do this.
Since I'm 45 minutes from the closest store that was very nice for a last minute purchase when something came back into stock late. Usually I can combine shopping trips, but the phone "instore order" is something I'll be doing again.
