I sort of remember that wording from previous sales but there were no actual restrictions on the number of orders you could place. I think they just mean you can only get one free title per order on qualifying DVD or blu-ray titles.

It should be both online and store. What I posted is the information for the online version of the sale at B&N.com.

Does the BN.com sale usually include a select list of titles the "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" promotion is eligible for? The in-store deal usually includes ALL titles, correct?

I wonder if this will overlap with the inevitable Criterion sale in July.

BuckNaked2k

It usually ends just before.

Laser Movies

Yes, it is a select number of titles online. Some titles may not qualify, or could be part of a different sale running concurrently. Stores usually have every title on sale.

I doubt there will be a Criterion overlap. Usually the Criterion sales start about a week after the end of the b2g1f sale. I'll take a tentative guess we could see the Criterion sale begin July 17.

I don't have much on my list for this sale. Anyone aware of any particularly good deals I should consider when it goes live?

Laser Movies

Sale is on! I just checked and it is active.

Well as of today, NEW members only get rare discounts off of one nook per membership term ($25 off a nook color, $10 off a new eink version).

I have the nook color, nook 1st gen 3g, and nook 1st gen wifi, and love all three of them--well worth the money.

between the new sale starting today (thanks Laser) and the nook sale, it's a good time to consider picking up a membership.

Now if they'd only think about showing current, loyal members some of the same love (sigh)...

I'm not having any luck with it. I've tried a number of combinations but none resulted in a B2G1.

Laser Movies

I had to make a run to the post office and have not had a chance to play around with different DVD titles yet. I used some random television sets to test it. I found out you can use coupons. I used E9E3M9V which takes 10% off your order as a test.

Laser Movies

I tried several $9.99 blu-ray titles on my wishlist but cannot get any to work with the sale. However titles from the 50% off TV sale ending today seem to work. I'm disappointed the blu's are not working since I had quite a few on my list I like to purchase. Edit to add I cannot seem to get any blu-ray titles to work. Maybe the sale has not been activated with the blu's yet.

I just stuck a bunch of Blu-ray digibooks in my cart and they all worked with the B2G1 and the 10% order coupon.

jwstl

I was able to get it to work with Criterion Blu-rays but not the 9.99 Blus that were on sale. I wonder if it has to do with amount of discount.

Laser Movies

I finally got a few blu's to work. I added Kill Bill volume 1 and 2 along with Robin Hood in my cart.

Laser Movies

I don't know but I was able to get it to work with some $7.49 DVD titles that are 50% off.

Jim

Not a DVD coupon, but good on toys, especially Lego sets: V7T4Y4X

The code previously worked on Lego Mindstorms sets, which is unusual, but it's no longer on their site. The code gives 30% off list price. If the item is already marked down 10%, you'll just get 20% more off.

Is DeepDiscount running B&N now? Out of 11 items I had in my cart last night while I decided what to get, this morning I checked and 6 went up in price, 4 stayed the same, and only 1 went down ($1). LASERMOVIES, I made the mistake of taking your advice to purchase early in the sale as strategy, not as a warning.

As an example, yesterday AM Gettysburg was $20.99 and then went up to $24.49 right before the sale became active. Now it's at $26.24. North By Northwest was $22.74 (and I think it's been low for a long time) and is now $27.99. How The West Was Won jumped from $22.74 to $31.49.

jwstl

It's nothing new. B&N ends the other sales and discounts before starting the B2G1 sale. What has been discovered is that there is overlap online the night before the sale officially begins which allows you to get some discounted items at B2G1. That's what it's advised to buy discounted items as soon as the sale begins.

Oh, happy day! I've been waiting on this sale to knock out some of my TV & movie box set wishes.

First order:

Millennium Season 3
Quincy M.E. - Season 3
Lon Chaney Collection (Sr.) Collection

Grand Total: $77.02

Louisville S

Sale is decent for Criterions, box sets & TV shows. Really wish they had some decent printable coupons to use with the promotion in store. Guess I've been spoiled by the previous "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" promotion where I used two 50% off coupons (one member, one non-member) on top of my 10% membership discount.

Living Deadpan

FYI, looks like many pre-order titles up to 7/5 are included. My order also includes the 7% off coupon:

Don't Go in the Woods $12.54
Deep Red (Uncensored English Edition) $12.54
The Witchmaker (released on 7/5) $0.00

FYI...I've been told the next Criterion sale begins July 12th.

Laser Movies

Was that from a store employee or manager? I'm surprised they would attempt to start the sale around the end of the B2G1F sale.

jwstl

It was from the manager of the movie/music section. He knows me from all the previous Criterion sales so when I stopped in tonight he told me he just received the notice from corporate that the July sale would begin on July 12th.

Laser Movies

Could be interesting with the online sale if it starts sometime on July 11. That would be insane getting 50% Criterions and B2G1F, even if coupons didn't work.

jwstl

I thought of that too so I asked him repeat it and he again the 12th. I then asked him when the current sale ended to be sure I had it right and he said the 11th. I have the feeling that 12th date might change.
