Thx, Laser. That's awesome!

Just came to post this...should have known Laser would be on top of it. Even though I rarely buy from B&N, your dedication is much appreciated.

15% off military store +15% off coupon should make for a nice deal or two.

Have to wait until the 15% offer goes into effect tomorrow to confirm but going through the fine print it appears coupons may not be combined.

I just got a coupon to work with the military discount. But it wouldn't work on preorders

Yea, I got it to work too.

I just can't remember, is it possible to stack the membership discount with the military store discount, or is it one or t'other?

The only non-member 15% (JPMC15WH) gave me an error and had no description available of the eligibility.

If you re-read that coupon, it's only good going through the www.bn.com/jpmc bookstore link. It won't work with the /military or /library links.

Used the 15% plus the 15% coupons to order "The Rundown" and "Fletch" BDs on two separate transactions for $9.78 each. I missed out when Amazon had these for $9.99 so I'm happy.

Glad to hear the fine print was wrong claiming the offer could not be combined with coupons. However you can no longer use coupons for pre-orders at B&N. Think it has been about a year since they phased them out.

Can't stack both discounts. It's one or the other, but the greater discount should apply to an order, which means the 15% discount should nullify your members discount.

Thanks LASER, appreciate your efforts on this thread.

If anybody is interested in those monstrous gift books, they have a fantastic deal in the bargain area on MAD's Greatest Artists: The Completely MAD Don Martin

Here's a decent deal, especially for B&N members (since they'd get 10% plus another 20% off):

For ONE-DAY ONLY on Saturday, 3/20, receive an additional 20% off one item at www.bn.com/library.* Enter coupon code: W7L3D1B.

EDIT: I just realized Laser already had this in the first post. Damn he's fast! The email just came in 10 minutes before I posted!

Of course, the military discount yesterday was better for non-members, since you could combine a coupon with it. This one is just 20%, so no cashback and no additional coupon.

Coupon is now active.

Ugh....can't believe I missed that....and one day only.

Banner still shows on the site, but coupon code did not work. Did anyone have any success using it on pre-orders?

The latest 15% off coupon is now active. Thanks again, Laser!

I can't get any of them to open

Thanks! Didn't have enough time yesterday to confirm if they were active yet. Added the new coupons to the main list.

Which coupons were giving you problems?

There are several 15% off ones in your OP. None of them work for me, it opens the page but no coupon loads.

*edit* the one for membership renewal is loading now, but my membership doesn't need to be renewed.
The non-member one still does not load.

You may not be meeting the eligibility requirements to use them. Do you have a B&N membership? A few of the coupons require a membership, or the purchase of a membership to use. There is also a non-members 15% coupon but it requires making a purchase through a specific link for it to activate. The link and details are listed with the coupon information on the first page.

Edit: I see you have a membership. The new 15% coupon for members I just added should work for you. You could use the non-member 15% also but would have to use the specific bookstore link mentioned for it to activate. Renewal coupons will not work unless you're renewing a membership.

I'm clicking the links in your post. No coupons are coming up, except for the membership renewal one.

My apologies, I was expecting a printable coupon to come up. Now I realize these are online code only and no printable coupons.

I thought you were having a problem with the online codes. My apologies for the misunderstanding. There are currently no 15% store coupons with the exception of two for membership renewals.

However there are a couple of 10% printable store coupons available for all customers you can use on the first page. It is possible a store may accept a renewal coupon even if you're not renewing at a store. I've had luck in the past using them with an existing membership, but of course ymmv depending on the employee at the store. Also there are some printable $5 off coupons for members most B&N stores accept. There is a $5 coupon for CDs, DVDs, and another good for $5 off a $50 purchase available on the first page.

I made an update to the coupon list that hopefully makes it easier to locate printable store coupons in the future. I put spoiler tags below coupons that have a printable version. Click the spoiler and you should see a link for the coupon along with the actual coupon.
