What's with the "photo copies or other mechanical reproductions of this coupon will not be accepted"??

My guess is they don't want others to mass produce and/or distribute the coupons...
These coupons are being sent to their email subscribers. Unless the stores accept coupons on a mobile device (of which I'm unaware with the exception of the foursquare deals), printing a hard copy is necessary.

I just received a similar email, but branded for FYE. The email subject line says "Friends & Family – 20% off and special deals for you!"

You mean like this one? I did, too. I imagine either will work, but put this one up in case someone only has an FYE, and not a Suncoast near them.

This could be the last time I post any coupons for f.y.e. For several reasons. They closed the nearest Superstore that I use to frequent. The coupons have been sparse over the past two years. I've canceled the Backstage membership for the second time now.
Among other things, I'm also kinda ticked off with them over their false advertisement with Post cereal. It has taken them months to activate their online coupon POST1 for 20% off CD's & DVD's; which by the way appears to now be working. And yet the other coupon POST2 for video games is still not valid. I've been burned enough times by this company to learn my lesson.
Regardless... here's what's new:

I completely gave up on this store, since my last local store closed in January, and online never seems to have deals anymore. But with the coupon you just posted, I will TRY to find something... I have a feeling I will fail in that mission though...

I found it interesting that everything new I wanted to use the coupon on disappeared out of the store the same day the coupon went into effect.
I eventually redeemed it on a used item.
We've only got one superstore left in the state.

I almost never can find any new movies I want to buy on DVD or BD at FYE, and I rarely have the time or patience to go through the used stuff (most of which seems overpriced). When FYE does have good sales on BDs, it's usually ages after it was released and I've already bought it cheap somewhere else. I haven't heard of any store closings recently, so I think/hope there are 3 stores left in my area. I don't know what a "Superstore" is. Mine are all fairly small... like a few times bigger than your average non-mall Gamestop.
Whenever I get trade-in credit and can't find anything want (which is most of the time), I always use it on the same things: PS3 or Xbox 360 subscription or points cards. Once they stop carrying those then I'm probably screwed and will stop trading in.

I stopped in a mall that had a FYE today, (the one in the mall near me closed a couple of years ago). Found a rack with box sets and got the Greta Garbo sig. collection (9 titles) and the Paul Newman collection (7 titles) for 19.99 each. Also went through Burlington coat factory and found the Centennial Collection (2-disc) of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance for 3.99.

There was a 20% off coupon on facebook awhile ago that expired on the 14th. I gave it a chance and got burned again. Made a special trip to the closest store near me and used it with the free trial backstage pass vip - must remember to cancel. Looked at the receipt when I got home and noticed they only took off 10% on top of the membership discount. The fine print on the coupon said it only applied to the regularly priced items, but instead it also subtracted from the sale items as well so I'm not overly upset by this.
A 10% off coupon that never expires for a activated Backstage Pass VIP membership exists and has been around for years. It's usually sent in the email one receives after successfully registering the card online. Copy, paste, then print: greatfunsite.com/bca/GF_FYE2/default/emails/ThankYouCoupon.htm
They still offer foursquare deals to everyone that checks in to the local store.
Lastly, before I go. Any Visa cardholders (including non Backstage Pass members) can save 10% on orders of $50 or more at fye.com before 1/15/2013 with coupon code VISA10AST, usa.visa.com/personal/discounts/detail/fye.com_5_F12/vro_details.jsp?offerName=fye.com_5_F12&offerId=37098&pageId=197

I wonder if it works on sale items. Doesn't say they're excluded but I'd expect the usual argument to take place at the check-out. I guess I'll just pass on it and save my self that annoyance.

Yep... I tried to use this coupon on used blu rays and it was a no-go. Denied. The current used blu/dvd promotion is buy 1, get 1 half off and so it'd be combining two offers. F.Y.E. always issues these coupons to get traffic into the store and then there's disappointment at the register when they aren't honored. Seems to happen to me every time I see these coupons. This current coupon is only decent if you're after full retail, non-sale items.

So when I trade something to FYE, I accumulate the credit until I can get a $20 PSN card, and of course I can never use a coupon on that purchase. The day FYE gets rid of their PSN cards is the day that I'm done with them. I remember last time I got a $5 off your next purchase coupon (which excluded PSN cards as usual), I easily wasted 45 minutes scouring their movie section and couldn't find a single title worth buying at the price. Thankfully they had a $1 CD clearance bin hidden in the corner that saved the day (and that clearance bin was gone the next time I went).
