Somebody feel free to correct me, but if you want to use that $5 off coupon in conjunction with the 50% off, the coupon states that "This coupon may be used once in any B&N retail store with a music/DVD department for each new, valid and current B&N Membership purchased between August 24, 2009 and October 28, 2009.
So doesn't that mean if you were to get a membership, say, today you wouldn't be able to use this coupon when the Criterions go on sale?

Umm, actually they do. If we just accept the coupon in this situation (at my store at least) is because the customer complains too much and the manager tells us to.

Oh, interesting. Well nobody has ever said anything to me about my membership join date when I use the coupons, so I'm assuming most employees, unlike you apparently, just don't care.

Oh brother...this sale killed me in the summer, now it's coming back! I wonder if there will be a DD sale overlapping with this one, as happened last time. I ended up spending virtually nothing at DD's last sale. B&N got all my money.

I'm not going to say what I'm going to buy because I don't want to get BuckNaked2K angry that I grabbed the last one like the last Criterion sale

Well, I also have the Westport store. They generally have a good supply of Criterions to cater to the yuppies.

Sale will occur online and in-store, but you can get them cheaper in-store than you can online if you are a B&N member. Here's how:
The list price for most Criterion DVD's and Blu-Rays is $40
The 50% off sale drops them to $20
Your 10% membership discount drops them to $18
And finally, this $5 coupon drops them to $13:
Maybe Trevor can answer this. I know he is quite proficient at getting the price rediculously low, in fact I think the store ends up owing him money when all is said and done.

There are many Criterions at B&N with stickers saying members get an extra 10% off. Will that extra 10% come into play as well or is it negated by the discs being on sale?

hahah i'm seriously contemplating this too. Maybe I'll use a different credit card or not use my full name. For example write in "matt" instead of "matthew"

Here's a thought if you want to lock in The Third Man at the $13 price but you're afraid it will be OOS by the time the sale rolls around:
Go out and buy it now. Barnes and Noble has a 14-day return policy on DVD/Blu-Ray provided the product is unopened and you have the receipt. I just picked up a copy for $29.17 out the door. All I have to do is return on the 10th and get $16 back.

Obviously that first 10% is negated during the sale by the fact that they are 50% off...duh.
