Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Check your emails. I got a 20% off coupon. It is account specific though.
Title of my email says: What Will it Take to Shop With Us Again? How About 20% Off Coupon expires Oct 20. FWIW, the account I recieved this in was not my main account (email account associated with BN membership). |

I checked my only account that gets B&N emails and didn't get anything. |
Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
The coupons apparently are being targeted at non-regular customer. Without Lasermovies' research and posting, there is no reason to have a membership let alone shop at B & N.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Ran across a new free 2 month membership offer for B&N. It might be worth while if you want to sign up for the upcoming B&N Criterion sale next month to use the membership at stores.
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/member...EK-_-thimemups Free 2 month membership offer New members only! SPECIAL OFFER! Sign up for a FREE 2-month Membership and enjoy all the great benefits Barnes & Noble has to offer in stores and online. This offer requires purchase with credit card. Unless you cancel your free Membership, Barnes & Noble will charge your credit card $25 at the end of your free Membership period and at the end of each 12-month period henceforth. Terms and conditions Spoiler:

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Thanks, LASER. That'd be real handy. Interestingly, I went to sign up for the membership and it seems that I am still a member even though I had cancelled my B&N membership within a month and gotten a full refund.
|
Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
The offer says it is for new members and not renewals. If you already have an account that had a membership you might want to use it on a different account that never had a membership associated with it. I actually got a email with this offer on a non-membership account this morning.

Pity I threw the card away. |

Well, in my case I still have a membership on that account despite the fact that I asked them to cancel it and they gave me a full refund. I really should not have the membership on that account. But I think I'm just going to use that ;)
Pity I threw the card away. |

You don't need a card. They should be able to pull your membership account up at a store with your name a phone number. However usually I print a copy of my membership information from the web site to bring with me to be safe.
Thanks a lot for your diligence. This thread is a great resource. |
Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Added a couple of new 15% online and store coupons to the main list that are valid through the weekend. One is for members and the other for all customers.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Thanks Laser, as always.
Was just perusing bn's free trial membership promotion, now touted on their home page. Basically, you sign up for a free 2 month trial with a credit card...if you don't cancel, you're charged the $25 fee for another year of membership. You also get $50 in unspecified coupons in the bargain. Sadly, this promotion succeeds in further alienating bn.com's current members. Renewing existing memberships gets you squat--no coupons, no free two months. Would someone who does take advantage of this offer please post what coupons you receive? TIA. |
Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2

I don't see how it alienates current members. It appears you get the coupon offer if you bypass the free 2 month trial. It says at the bottom of the 2 month offer "join now and get $50 in bonus coupons." The $50 in coupons they are offering are the same ones I already have posted on the first page, and can be found here on the web site. Anyways the coupons seem to work with all memberships online, and most stores accept them as well with a existing membership. |
Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Thanks for the updated coupon codes. Just used one to get Apocalypse Now 3-disc for $35 shipped. Beats Amazon by $7.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Laser, thanks for confirming that the coupons offered for trial membership are not exclusive.
That discounts the first of the two reasons why I think this latest promotion alienates current members. The second reason is that new members get 14 months for $25, whereas renewals get 12 months for their $25. It's not a huge deal. But coming on the heels of devaluing existing, paid memberships by removing the extra 10% discount, I would counsel bn.com to think carefully about any promotions that discourage loyalty and encourage gaming (e.g. letting current memberships expire and starting new ones just for the 2 months). Just MHO. |
Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2

I hear you and understand what you're saying on some of the other moves by B&N this year that seemed like a slap in the face to members. I agree they are making it tempting for existing or former members to game the system with this latest offer to get a few extra months. However don't forget B&N has regularly offered 20% renewal coupons for members when they renew their memberships, so it's not like they are completely ignoring current members. If you're lucky maybe they will send you one of the new 30% renewal coupons (see below). Looks like a new offer to encourage renewals, but personally I'm not expecting to ever see one of those in my email. http://cart2.barnesandnoble.com/shop...p?promoid=8687 Renewal Reward: Extra 30% Off 1 Item Online Coupon To qualify for offer: (i) you must have received an email communicating the offer directly from Barnes & Noble, and (ii) you must also make your purchase online at BN.COM using the email address to which the offer was sent. Orders made from other email addresses will not qualify for this offer. This coupon can be redeemed by the email recipient only online at BN.COM and is valid only in conjunction with the renewal of an existing Membership in the same order. This coupon expires 7 days after the email offer's Sent Date, inclusive of the email offer's Sent Date, at 2:59 a.m. Eastern Time. Please refer to your email communication for exact offer expiration date. The additional 30% discount will be applied to the most expensive eligible item in the order -- not the entire purchase -- and will be deducted after all other discounts are applied. |
Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
It's not that I disagree with with "lasermovies", but it is difficult to justify B & N's contempt of it's existing members. What do I mean? None of the regular customers are getting the e-mail coupons let alone any other mail. I, along with a lot of others, have complained, get a reply, promises made that everything is alright and then no mail again. Have I suffered? No; "lasermovies" gets the coupons for us. But it's B & N that got the $25 membership fee, not "laserman". When B & N does something wrong, and they clearly have, then criticism is in order.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2

I'm not sure what happened but yesterday I started getting B&N emails again with my member account. I got one yesterday for a book coupon and another today with the current 15% coupon for members. It's the first time I received any email offers from B&N with the account since early May. I complained to customer service a few times but that didn't seem to change anything. I'm not sure why all of a sudden they are showing up now. The last time I called customer service they didn't give me any answers to why the emails stopped, but did seem to have the information when they sent the last email in May. I got the impression they were intentionally stopped by them even though I was still signed up to receive emails on the B&N web site. I thought maybe someone looked at my purchase history and decided I was using too many coupons, and cut off the emails in an effort to stop me from using them on every purchase. |

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
^ Yeah, I got that e-mail earlier in the week; that's all there is for that offer.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I can't speak for anyone else, but even with access to two seperate accounts and e-mail addresses, as I write this, I haven't received any e-mails from B & N for either account/address. I doubt excess coupon use will cause e-mail be blocked; they could simply decline taking the order(s).

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I don't know if there is any interest for this type of coupon for food and drinks at a B&N store. Here is one for anyone that wants to use it.

Seems B&N would want to make sure customers would at least occasionally get coupons to keep them coming back to buy stuff, especially if you purchased a membership. I really don't understand why they are not sending emails since it is not really costing them anything to send them. Well at least I'll try to keep posting coupons here as long as I can still find them.
I have no explanation as to why I've never received emails from them. I've reset my preferences several times over the years just to see if something would "kick in" with the system and I'd start getting them, but all to no avail. It is strange, but I'm not going to worry about it. They have me for about 7 more months and that's it. Hopefully you can keep posting coupon codes (assuming they keep giving them out that long) for a while longer. :D Gary "take care, friend" O. |
