Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
Shot down on Blur at BB this morning. Sometimes I love the way these exchanges take place. I'm trying to be nice the whole time, but it's hard sometimes.
Cashier: We can't accept both coupons. Me: I thought since it was a manufacturer coupon it wouldn't be a problem. ...disappears to get the manager... Manager: We can't accept both coupons. Me: I thought since it was a manufacturer coupon it wouldn't be a problem. ...manager points to the part on the BB coupon that says blah blah blah not with any other offers... Manager: They just won't work together. Me: Doesn't Best Buy get the manufacturer coupon price back? Manager: But they won't work together. Me: Would it be possible to try to scan them? Manager: No. Because they won't work. :shrug: |

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
The $20 Blur coupon even says not to scan it.

This is bullshit. I wouldn't have accepted that as an answer because I know they're wrong (and I'm an asshole). I usually know more about the computer system there than they do because I have more experience watching it :)

It does seem silly though since they recoup that cost from the manufacturer. |

But the truth is, he knew it would work or else he would have tried and shown you it didn't. It does seem silly though since they recoup that cost from the manufacturer. It was very odd. I felt like they'd had to fight off a few other people trying to do the same thing because the second I questioned the cashier, she ran off to the manager. I was even going to go through the steps with her as you mentioned. Then the manager arrived already slightly confrontational... and I wasn't going to push it. I knew she wasn't going to listen to anything I had to say. The problem with manu coupons is that even though they recoup the cost, they don't get that money for a long time -- especially if coupon use becomes widespread. My dad runs a chain of stores and complains about this regularly. But own up. |

I hate it when you ask a question and they start shaking their head even before you finish the question. It's even worse if they have a smirk while doing it. |

And at least they're getting money unlike the Fairytale Fights thing when they were essentially just handing out free copies of the game. |
Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
If anyone could PM me a copy of the Blur code I'd be greatly appreciative. The Xerox printers at work are acting a little wonky.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
I had absolutely no problems using both Blur coupons at Best Buy. 11.79 out the door. I even sort of set myself up for failure by asking the cashier "I can't get away with using both of these together, can I?", but she looked at the coupons for about 2 seconds before the girl at the next register came over and was like, "Yeah, no problem, I actually had someone do the same thing earlier", and she showed the girl at my register how to do it. I was kinda nervous about it, since both coupons basically say they can't be combined with other offers, but it was no hassle at all.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
Is there any way to get the gamers reward Blur coupon without being a gamers reward member? I'm a gold level (sound right?) rewards member...if that helps at all.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
The coupon is posted on CAG. No need to be part of the gamer rewards.

Thanks. I'm on the other side of town (Canton) so I'd wipeout any Blur savings by spending $20 in gas going to Great Lakes Crossing :)
