Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
So this store I was in last night was not one I had been to in years, it's almost an hour from my house on the other side of town (Westlake, OH-Crocker Park). However, they had a book I was looking for, I checked the website store locator and it was in-stock. So I went to pick it up. Now, this was a new paperback, $9.99 full-price, no discount other than my Membership and the coupons I had.
The clerk at the counter was helpful, I gave her my Membership and told her I had the "Mystery" coupon I mentioned in the post upthread. She said she would try and get it to work, force it through if she had to. Five minutes later, nothing. She even told me corporate is doing this, trying lots of different "extra" specific coupons to see what sticks, but that their definition of categories and the fine print makes them almost useless. Alright, fine- I gave her my last generic 20% off one item I got in my mailer...And that wouldn't work. She finally had to get a manager to key it in. This was like another five minutes of my time.
I was very polite, and told them it wasn't their fault (it isn't), but somebody needs to pass the word up the management chain to corporate that they're alienating their best customers, the Members. Hell, I would love to give more of my money to BN, but stuff like this really makes it hard to be a fan. I would have loved to have been able to use that Mystery coupon on my paperback and spend even more money with that 20%er.

Re: Activist investor draws up plan to take Barnes & Noble private: WSJ
Depends on whether or not you believe in euthanasia. When was the last time that a commodity retailer successfully reinvented itself in order to return to a state of robust profitablity? (Apple did sort of, but they did it by creating an entirely new market and I can't really see BN managing that)
But you are absolutely right, there's no book or tech market they're going to invent as a new category like Apple did. They struck a gold mine with expanded selection of new vinyl the past year or two, but that explosive growth/profit was never going to be sustainable.

Activist investor draws up plan to take Barnes & Noble private: WSJ
B&N wasn't impressed:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-b...-idUSKBN1DG2Q7
The punch line is "a debt financing of $500 million is highly unlikely" which I think is true. Anyone who invests in B&N probably supports the current management if they invest at all. Everyone else has moved on. Once investors learn the current plan is to sell $14 grilled cheese sandwiches, things could change.

"(Reuters) - Sandell Asset Management Corp, an activist investor in Barnes & Noble Inc, has proposed a transaction that would take the bookseller private with the help of current shareholders and debt financing, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday. "
There's almost zero chance of this happening, of course, but the "and debt financing" part is what took down the Family Christian Stores bookstore chain and more recently Toys-R-Us, so no matter what state B&N is in right now, it's better off than in the hands of private equity raiders.

The best thing going for B&N today is that Amazon seemingly doesn't care much anymore about selling books. Amazon is going to spend all its capital on its grocery expansion.
I can see what the consultants are thinking trying to transform B&N into some kind of eatery/kitchen destination. B&N's primary asset at this point besides the retail locations is its brand, which draws in a certain demographic. The trick is converting that existing demographic into using your stores for something more profitable than books.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
For those interested in the BF $50 GC deal with $10 PROMO card , it listed in the BN preview
It looks pretty similar to previous years -- Promo card will activate 12/26, but expires 2/28/2018.
No beginning date, but I'm guessing Thursday online and Friday to Sunday in in-store. Online it should be a once per account deal though in-store it's always been increments on $50

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Yes I saw a sign. Actually the clerk showed it to me because i'm in there so much. Actually looking online most of the Arrow Video appears to be 50% off including the 'Stray Cat Rock' box set but that same set does not scan half price at the store.

Just to be sure, there should be no issue doing the 75 + 10 and 50 + 10 online on the same account, correct?

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
In the continuing saga of "what the hell are they thinking" - they shipped every single item in my last bulk online Criterion order (about 10 pieces) individually, even though the tracking info indicated that 8 of those pieces originated at the same warehouse and were processed within about 20 minutes of one another. And of course every item that wasn't in a plastic case arrived damaged. Foolish me, I thought that by making 1 larger order I could "trick them" into shipping them all in a proper box, thereby avoiding the perils of paper-wrapped items navigating the postal system...

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
It appears the online part of the BRITISH TV 50% Off MSRP sale is active today
I don't know if it's active in store yet.
The last few years this started the day after Cybermonday and was a 2 week instore+online sale.
The 40% Xmas Sale appears to be slated to start 12/19/2017. There is a missing week so maybe they'll run the 40% TV (not British) again this year

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
No idea why Alliance does that, but it's common. I'd love to group order to get a shipping box, but with them it's impossible to do it. I'm guessing one big box costs them more in preparing and shipping than a bunch of individuals -- maybe those are automated so no humans have to be involved. Surely if it was drastically more expensive they wouldn't do it this way

Interestingly enough - the email that they sent me says the 20% kicks in at 125. But my cart confirms that it is in fact $150.
