Don't usually see 20% coupons very often, and was surprised they showed up during the Criterion sale. Over the past several months B&N has been issuing once a month one or two 20% online coupons similar to these. I would make use of them while you can since I doubt there will be anymore for the sale. If you are not a member I would expect only some more 10% coupons next week. I'm not even sure anymore member 15% coupons will appear since B&N has cut back on those as well in recent months.

Made a second, and probably final, order today:

Thieves' Highway 1 $16.31
Grey Gardens 1 $15.85
The Lady Eve 1 $16.31
Repulsion 1 $17.99

The way they break down the discounts is really odd. I used 2 $5 coupons online, plus member discount.

Trevor

I think I may have figured out the way to get the best possible deal in-store, on standard $40 Criterions.

Buy four, use both of the $5 coupons and both of the 20% off coupons. This brings the total to $54.80, enabling you to use the "transaction" coupon $5 off $50. Total is now $49.80 for four $40 Criterions. Also, I'll get 5% cashback for using Discover.

Now, I'm not sure, but I think if I added a 25 cent bob-bon to my order, making the total $50.05, I could have used the other $5 transaction coupon, making the total $45.05 for four $40 Criterions and a bon-bon (and 5% cashback). Talking to the clerk after the transaction, we were pretty sure it would have worked. I didn't want to push my luck and ask for a re-do.

Quick question: Is it possible to print out the $5 off $20 and use it more than one time? The coupon states you can use it only once and I was wondering how you guys got past that loophole.

Could anyone recommend a good German or Italian film? I was thinking about picking up La Strada or Nights of Cabibria.

DVD Guy ATL

Both of these are excellent choices, but NoC is now OOP so I would jump on that one without hesitation.

Laser Movies

I've been using the same printable coupons over and over.

visitor Q

Thought my final order was posted ...guess not.

Returned and used my AAA membership to save an additional 10% off ....

Army of Shadows - $18
Travels with Hiroshi Shimizu - $23

6 titles for approx $7 a piece. I'm happy with that!

hindolio

imho, and to paraphrase you, no chance in hell

people are highly adaptive, so if criterions were priced this way all the time, we would wait for a sale

zombeaner

I SO wish that Nikkatsu Noir came out in July!

visitor Q

I don't disagree one iota ..but sometimes you just hafta appreciate what ya can get when you can get it .....

Laser you are lucky to have so many Barnes & Nobles close by.
Up here in Oregon they closed alot of their stores,don't know when though.

I'm In Albany right outside of Salem and the closest store is in Eugene(about 40 miles or so) and one of the B&N in Portland doesn't even carry any DVD's.

I do miss California for a few things..

Also I got Bing.com to work for one online order..

Nidreu

ugh, sorry im being really lazy here, but there are just too many pages in this thread. Where can I find the $5 coupons and 20% coupons? I wasn't going to buy any criterions, as cash is really tight now, but that deal is insane. And the 20% coupons expire on the 27th?

The $5 coupons are for B&N members only,I think.

Sign up for Bing.com first,I know it is A pain..
But I have $20 pending from A $200 order.
And A few others here have had it work for them too,sometimes.

heres a link for instore and online coupons.

Nidreu

thanks, i see the $5 coupons have this in the fine print: current and valid B&N memberships purchased between may 18 and july 1, 2009. so if i sign up for membership now, i cant use it?

Trevor

That hasn't been enforced.

Coupon use is always YMMV. Some cashiers will just scan every coupon you give them, some will read all the fine print and try to limit you if possible. Some of the coupons say "not valid with other offers" but they still work if scanned.

My best transaction yesterday, the one detailed earlier, the cashier called the store manager over, they both read the coupons carefully, but he told her to "go for it" and let her scan everything.

JoeySeven

Has anyone use the both the $5 off coupons more then once online?

I just might go real crazy with a bunch of orders around $50...:-))

Trevor

^ you can only use one coupon per order online.

Sessa17

Where is a printable 20% off coupon for in store? I can't find one.

Trevor

Just click thru all the links laser has in the first post. Some aren't very clear before you look closely, but there are two 20% coupons good in-store. Some of the coupons have in-store and online components.

Wait. Here you go.

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/email/...?r=1&PID=29053

Both are usually accepted, ignore the renewal requirement.

Laser Movies

There are quite a few B&N stores around here. I have about 20 stores within an hours drive. However I rarely go to the stores and do most of my purchases online because the prices are usually better.

I've had terrible luck with Bing and other cashback web sites during the sale. I'm zero out of four orders with Bing. Also zero out of one with fatwallet and ********.


If you're lucky you may be able to use either online code multiple times. I was able to use the first code twice, and the second code 3 times before they came up redeemed. Someone else said they used the first code at least 8 times. However one of them is expiring on the 27th. If you are going to use them better do it soon with the first coupon.

Sessa17

Thanks Trevor, I appreciate the post, unfortunately I tried using one this morning & got shot down. The guy called a manager over & everything, but she said that it states right on the coupon that a renewal for a year's membership is required. She even shot down my $5 coupon at first, but that states right on the fine print "list price before coupons & discounts" so they can't argue that one.

No big deal though, didn't stop me from buying more, can't really complain w/ getting Solaris for $13 & this awesome box set for $35, when it's at least $90 everywhere else.

Trevor

^ Yeah, coupons are always YMMV. Fortunately, or unfortunately if you're my investment counselor, I've had good luck using all the coupons multiple times.

I'm knocking on wood as I say this, but I wonder why B&N can't do something as simple as locking each B&N membership to 1 use per coupon.

BuckNaked2k

Thought I was done, but I guess not:

Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales
-$13.74
$36.25

2 or 3 Things I Know About Her
-$2.76
$12.23

P.S. - Looks like free Expedited Shipping has ended.

Laser Movies

I still see it available. Are you talking about the Visa offer?
