I don't even see gamestop listed when i log into e-rewards. I remember when I signed up, they had two different choices--like over 25 or under 25. I wonder if they have a different selection of rewards depending on how you signed up.

I see the list of Rewards by Company as:

Air France / KLM AirTran Alaska Airlines Blockbuster Inc. bmi Borders Continental Airlines Delta Air Lines e-Rewards Magazine Collection eBags Forzieri Frontier Airlines FTD.com Hilton HHonors Macy's Neiman Marcus Last Call Northwest Airlines WorldPerks Omaha Steaks ProFlowers Snowbird US Airways Virgin Atlantic Airways Zagat Survey Zales

The Gamestop rewards is for the under 25 years old surveys.

Dammit! I just stopped by the Westgate location in Austin and saw signs for 50% off all DVDs and CDs (excluding "best sellers" and "new releases"). The cashier said that it started two weeks ago. Most of the shelves were blown out. I picked up Door Into Darkness for $14.99 and 36th Chamber of Shaolin for $7.50.

Does this not apply to blu-rays too?

The cashier said it did. But the Blu-Rays are in locked cabinets, so you either have to bug an employee every time you want to know the price, or go to the info kiosk to look it up on the computer. Keep in mind, this is probably a YMMV thing. I doubt all Borders are blowing out their dvds/bds/cds for half-off.

That's the only one I do now. I used to also do the 6 free Blockbuster rentals for the $25 level, but they changed it last year to 2 free previously-viewed DVDs (priced $14.99 or less).

As "kyle" pointed out, you can only do the Borders reward once per year

That really sucks that the Borders Bucks reward is once per year! Makes me want to do less surveys.

That can't be right because I'm 35. Most of my surveys deal with technology because of my profession.

Used my 40% receipt print-out coupon on Inglorious Bastards, which I'm happy about.

Thinking about maybe picking up the Caligula 3-Disc tomorrow with the coupon BuckNaked2k posted. Thanks!

Ditto. Used to do BB rentals, but once I discovered the $15 Borders reward last year, I jumped all over it. But it sucks that they won't be selling media anymore. I hope they keep selling it online, since you can order online and have it shipped to a store for free...

I assume you can't use the coupon in conjunction with their media clearance. Which sucks. My store is only at 30% right now, so the coupon is actually better than the clearance!

But you could probably use it in place of the clearance discount.

Right. You'd get the greater discount, or 40% off. For those living near a store with a 50% off deal, the coupon would be unnecessary.

You'll want the 40% coupon if you're getting a new release or box set. They aren't part of the 50% off sale are they?

New releases - no. Not sure about box sets.

The moment of truth comes on Wednesday. Anyone still have over $1,000 worth of store credit or gift cards? I'd be nervous if I were you.

That is shocking that they had revenues of only $1.2 million for the entire quarter. That seems mighty, mighty low. "Shares of Borders Group fell more than 87 percent during the quarter. "

Think I used up all my gift cards with the last 40% weekend, but I better search my place to be sure.

Those numbers have to be wrong. It says they'll earn 95 cents per share. That has to be wrong if they only had 1.2 million revenue, but that number also must be in doubt if the other one is. They've had revenue over $100 million a quarter up to this one, so while they might be doing bad, I doubt sales dropped 99%.

Looks like they'll survive a few more months. Just got a loan extended a year.

30% off any one item (in store only):

30% off Coupon

I am stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place: every coupon is "In store only", but everything on my wishlist is "Not available in stores".
