Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
From prior experience does anyone know if using the in-store coupon will work with showing it on my phone? Or do I actually have to print it?

LASER - Thanks very much. Feel free to release it, as they are not working online, and the only remaining titles I want don't come out until the 24th!

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I tried this 15% off coupon Y4A7P7U and B&N rejected it for some inexplicable reason. And yes I was using a Visa card which seemed to be a variable to implementing it. Anyone with another 15% code can email to me or if there's another code let me know.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I think it's very obvious by now that B&N employees or IT are reading this forum. It's unfair to take it away sneakily like this. Just make the damn policy clear - don't allow them for 10 hours and get people's hopes up. I saw the coupon worked this morning but I was late for work so didn't order, figuring it would still be fine when I got back in the evening. This is lame. The sale has been on for a few days and the 15% Visa coupon also used to work.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Should I be expecting the same experience tomorrow with the members' coupons (5 off 50 and 8 off) or are these in a "separate" category?

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
As for the stores, who knows. I haven't tried any coupons on this sale and I'm not sure I will. I use to buy all my Criterions in store but the one store I frequented closed after a disagreement over their lease renewal which cost some good people their jobs and I'm not a big fan of the others which are 10 miles further out.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
This blows...I was waiting to get some of the 20% coupons later into the sale to get some of the sets for a bigger discount, now it looks like that is out. I guess this is what we get when they saw all the overlap orders go through. I wish I took more advantage of that too.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I'd imagine if they are blocking the mystery coupon, they will block any coupon they release from here on out during the sale.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Success using the coupon in store! Well... sort of. More of success with an awesome friendly employee. I didn't print out the coupon, I just showed him my phone with the code. He tried to key it in and it didn't work (he very well may have entered it wrong as he was struggling keeping up with me telling him the code) and then decided to try to scan a coupon someone else had brought in earlier but couldn't find it. I didn't try to stop him but had he done that and it rang up less than the 30% coupon mine was for I would have told him no thanks. Anyways, after a few minutes of trying different things he just hand keys in a discount and gave me the 50% since I was in there a couple days earlier for the sale and thanked me for my business. So, I got the Samurai Trilogy on blu for $18.xx!
And here are 2 codes, first come first serve. Let us know when you use them.
15% - KJM7V95TRAC41
30% - j38kbj4vb4djf

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Just got back from my trip to a local B&N store to pick up a couple of Criterion titles I reserved last night. To make a long story short the clerk would not allow the surprise coupons because they would not scan. Even after she learned the value of both coupons the clerk would not allow them, or offer to attempt to over ride the system.
However thankfully I was expecting to get rejected and came prepared with a plan B. At the last minute I decided to print out an $8 coupon just in case I failed with the other coupons. That one scanned fine on the David Lean set I reserved. But I regret also not bringing a $5/$50 coupon to use with the second title since my total purchase would have been over $50. There is no guarantee they would have taken the $5 coupon, but maybe I would have had a better chance compared to the failure with the surprise coupons, Because I didn't have a second coupon I decided to just purchase the Lean set, and used up the last of my gift cards to pay for it.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I couldn't use the mystery coupons. They all came up as "unrecognized" when either scanned or keyed in. Manager came over and I crossed my fingers. We had a nice chat. He took a non-sale item and tried the coupon and it worked. He therefore assumed the system didn't take it because of the 50% off sale. I wasn't going to argue any further.
I ended up using my $25 electronic gift certificate though.
I guess the days of using coupons on top of sales are over.
I made sure to uncheck the auto renewal of my membership. I doubt Barnes & Noble is going to sell media at their stores much longer. Time to stock up on Amazon gift cards through my Chase Freedom card and use them on Criterions from Amazon. I should have $75 worth by September for the next round:
The Royal Tenenbaums [Blu-ray]
Quadrophenia [Blu-ray]
The Game [Blu-ray]
:/

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I'm not disagreeing with you but this has been the general trend at B&N for the past few sales. They've been getting tighter and tighter with the coupons, disallowing them during most of the sale. Your best bet is to take action as soon as you have one in hand, before they've had a chance to shut them down.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Thanks for letting me know. Looks like I have 2 more 15% surprise coupons to give away. I still have a 30% coupon and will see if there is something I can purchase with it.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
So excepting the in store gamble, right now it's just the 50% off, right?
I think I'll hold off as Laser says and see if different coupons come before the sale is over. Maybe the next batch will work, even if temporarily.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
I think if some regular store coupons come out they should probably scan fine even if they keep the coupon restriction online through the remainder of the sale. It's just these surprise coupons that seem to be causing the problems at the stores.
I'm not sure when the next batch of coupons will come out yet. It's possible there could be nothing next week. The following week might be more promising for some regular 15% and 20% store coupons.
