Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
DVD Talk Hall of Fame
Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Forgot there was still a 25% off coupon coming.
I placed over a dozen orders with the 30%, mostly for large art books. About half have already shipped.
Between what is likely to come in damaged due to careless packing, and what just doesn't impress me once I actually can leaf through it, I expect at least half will be getting returned.
But for what gets kept, the deal will have been excellent.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Also, check your $8 off $40 coupons... the wording is reasonably clear: 'selling price of $40+ BEFORE DISCOUNTS', and while thr computer said "no" when it was scanned today, it still somehow took the money off (a $45 Eclipse set) before I paid... which was nice but awkward...!
She scanned the set (22.50). She scanned my card (20.24). She scanned 8off40, and the computer objected. She tried it again, and the computer rejected it again. She scanned the 30% coupon, and because the computer had rejected a coupon twice, it did not show it as working. She tried 30% again with the same apparent result. So I demurred and tried to pay the $20.49.. at which point the price came up $9.92. We assumed it had taken the both of them. The receipt says it actually took 30% off twice....
What a crazy computer system...

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Obviously it's been (occasionally here; usually elsewhere) beneficial, but they REALLY need to fix their computer/coupon system. It Does Not Work..
Plus - in theory - if they fixed the system, there'd be no variability store-to-store, manager-to-cashier. Which would be helpful, at least.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
How do you know if purchasing separate GC's online will get you multiple $10?
In the past, I always did it instore, and for each $50 card, the friendly associate would give me a $10 GC (which couldn't be used until Dec. 26).
If I'm reading the fine print correctly, they will email codes on the 26th to online customers. Or maybe they will send the cards out (there was a lot of instructions on the page).
Worst case scenario would be that purchasing a bunch of regular GC would just mean that I'd use them for ordering purposes in the future (nothing lost there). But I wonder how one would know if the $10 would be coming for each $50 GC purchase.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
All I can generally say is IF they ever get a system that is 100% consistent across the board does anyone think we would get the liberal coupon rules or do you think it would be taken to the letter of the law? Coupon batches would be treated as a single use coupon, BF coupons would end up attaching to an account or CC allowing one use per account, the Welcome New member coupons would become New Member within their narrow window only/one time use per account. The 8/40 coupon would be designed to follow the current strict online use. The current multi-use online codes would be gone. Billing/Shipping address would be flagged so that multiple accts or Free Trial would be eliminated.
Probably just sour grapes from this corner..! Carry on..

The Return of Karma:
So... amidst the kerfuffle at the store (Saturday lunchtime), they said our card was due to expire. So we renewed it. And then used the renewed card.
But the website (Saturday night/Sunday morning) did not agree, said membership was expired and charged me shipping for the orders-I-placed-online-because-the-store-was-being-contrary. So I called on Sunday and after some baffling suspicion, they said it can take time to filter through (audio-shrugged when I queried it, as it had filtered through instore within minutes), but agreed to waive shipping on those orders.
And the theoretical-returned funds have a) not been noted on the main "orders" page (but have when I click 'more details') and b) have not returned to my giftcard. So I can't place another CyberMonday order with my gift card.
Meanwhile, the website decided to ignore my giftcard for one order and charge my debit card, and because of the information-bereft e-mails, I could not quickly tell which. (The 'receipt: in online packages also contains little information - e.g. does not reflect discounts, and is thus useless as a receipt!) Baffling and irritating again.
Between B&N and now Amazon Prime, this has been a frustrating year - despite some excellent bargains at both. Target, though, was miles better in terms of deals, stock and helpfulness.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Anyone know if the BBC sale is also on in-store? The in-store prices according to the website generally do not reflect a 50% off sale. That could mean that so far the sale is only online - or it could just be another broken aspect of their website.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Will there likely be any 25% off coupons before the British sale ends? Or is the $10 off $75 the best I can expect? I see by glancing at the posts on this thread this time last year a 25% off code arrived the second week of December.
I have vague memories of a $25 coupon off either a $100 or a $125 order. It's frustrating that B&N only shows orders made within the past 6 months, so I can't check years past.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Yup - its on in the stores as well. I picked up Brideshead Revisited (bluray) and am happy to say - was able to use an 8-off-40 cpn, so it cost me like $23

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Isn't 20% already notably better than $10off$75..? Or am I adding up wrong? (I suppose if you have two-or-more items it might be better, but 20% off boxsets is probably close to the best deal.)

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
What we need is a 25% member coupon to leak for members like me who can't get coupons in e-mail. I assume these are still going to be reusable, so if anyone gets one and uses it, please post it here for the rest of us. Thanks!
Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Unfortunately the blu ray of the Dr. Who Christmas Gift set is sold out online but is apparently available at some retail stores. None of the current in store coupons will work with just this item. If Thursday's 25% MEMBER coupon works in store I guess you can reserve a copy in store and pick up tomorrow.
Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Requested in store hold on a couple of items but have not got e-mail confirming or rejecting request after two hours. I guess they are busy and this is not a priority for them. I am on the east coast so the store is open.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
If you're a B&N member, be on the lookout again this year for a Christmas (or seasonal holiday of your choice) card containing a $10 gift card. I received one yesterday and almost overlooked it in the flotsam and jetsam the mail is currently awash with.
Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
OK, I wanted to get this this Christmas:
DC Comics Book & DVD Slipcase Set
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dc-c...questid=338513
but it seems to be categorized as a book and not a blu-ray.
So, are there any book sales coming up anytime soon that I might be able to combine the coupon with?
Also, this doesn't seem to be available in store. Do I need to order this into the store to get the additional 10% discount, or can you do the order in the store shipped to the house and apply the coupons and member discount.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
Miraculously I started getting coupons sent to my member email address again (I did a chat with BN a couple of weeks ago to complain). I did get a 25% off and will post the code after I use it in store tonight.

Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
It was just the first person who popped up to chat. I told them the problem and he/she said they would fix it and then offered me the F8X7X8P code, which BTW expires 1/1/16.
Re: Barnes And Noble Coupon Thread Part 2
It seems like the one time I did it online it took a few hours. usually I just call the store if it's only a couple of items -- double check to make sure the online inventory is correct and for some reason when I go to pick it up it seems I get a friendlier response if it's the same person I spoke to.
Even a small personal interaction like a phone call seems to create some sort of temporary connection.
