Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
#4026
Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Then the manager says something about how he noticed on the coupon printout that the file name printed on the top of the page shows the percentage discount. He says that he thinks someone probably figured out which coupon was the 50 percent coupon and posted it online. Then he tells the cashier about how it sucks that people have to ruin a deal like this. He says the coupon discount is supposed to be a surprise and that people should just go along with it instead of spoiling it.
Needless to say, I hightailed it out of there.

It seems every time i consider giving up my membership, B&N comes up with something that makes me glad i am still a member.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I just noticed that Ken Burns' Baseball box set is the bn.com Deal of the Day at 42.49. A ship to home using a coupon could get you this for 21.25 plus tax which an absolute steal.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I actually stopped cutting that part out after my first few stops. I was getting tired of trying to act surpirsed when they told me I got lucky and had a 50% coupon. I started pointing out the URL to the cashiers when I handed them the coupon stating that I think I might have gotten lucky and had a few 50% off coupons.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Went in today and it was the same cashier as the other day, but I figured I'd give it a shot. She definitely remembered me, especially considering I got Doctor Who then and Doctor who today, lol. But I just said they sent me a few more coupons and I thought I'd try 'em out. Worked out no problem using both; one for an in-store purchase and one for a ship-to-home order.
It's funny, because she actually commented that the only coupons she was seeing were the 50% Off ones, and I just said Barnes & Noble is probably sending more of those out to drum up some business.
I mean, I get what they're saying, but Barnes & Noble could easily prevent coupon "abuse" if they wanted to, they just don't really seem to care. And if they don't care, I don't care, lol.
Actually, they should be glad there are those of us who are willing to use the coupon multiple times. They're having money problems and can use all the business they can get. I know I've purchased items that have literally been sitting on the shelf for at least a year, untouched. Better I get them at a discount then the store having them sit there collecting dust.

and as for multiple coupons. hell, my local BandN media manager will literally ring up multiple coupons in the same transaction without blinking. says it's great to see people taking advantage of the sales.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I was just looking at the coupons a few minutes ago and noticed B&N removed the 30% member coupon. Wonder if they are up to something and are thinking about removing all the coupons.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I know it's most likely been answered but what happens when you pre-order something like the stars wars set???? do you get it taken out of your CC account then or billed when shipped???

With ship to home orders at a store you're charged immediately even when it is a pre-order.

Just to make sure -- you know a new, Criterion version of Fear and Loathing is coming out on blu-ray? All of the discs he mentioned are new or upcoming Criterion releases.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I got back from a trip to two B&N's (about 20 minutes each leg of the journey). I was able to use 8 coupons, 2 each at each store's DVD service counter and customer service counter.
I picked up Star Wars Saga, Lord of the Rings EE Trilogy, Yi-Yi, Solaris, Fear and Loathing, Cercle Rouge, Great Dictator, and Chungking Express (clear cover -- finally!!).
Quite a haul! Now to monitor whether or not any of those preorders get canceled. I agree it gets tedious to act surprised. "Wow, where's the closest place to buy a lottery ticket?!"

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
When I went to another two stores today, I changed up my routine and went all "last time I got two coupons, one was 10% and the other was 15%, boy would I be happy with 20% this time." Then they had pity for me and seemed genuinely happy with me getting the 50%.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Today I used a coupon on a ship to home order for Sherlock Holmes: Complete Collection on BD which was already 40% off, 77.99 online. I added 2 bargain books I've been wanting which put my total over $50. I then handed her the $5 off a $50 purchase coupon which she gladly accepted.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
For those of you who don't want the url printed at the top of your printout you can usually hide that in your print options.
For FireFox users it's File \ Page Setup \ Margins & Header/Footer --> Under the options, one of them should said url, just switch it to blank.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Oh wow, color me surprised. They discouraged coupons on Criterions for several months there and had to get every single one okay'd be the manager on duty. Long story short, everything worked out and I am $35 poorer. Glad it all worked out, but I am not pressing my luck again and will go back when the Criterion sale pops up. And traffic was not bad for a Saturday morning!
Anyways, picked up the two things I was wanting so I am more than happy. $16.19+tax for Au Revoir Les Enfants and $16.19+tax for Double Life of Veronique. I may pick up something else with my last coupon (self-imposed limit is three). Dunno what just yet, but it'll hit me.
