No $10 credit for me.
Sitting this one out. Couldn't reach $75 for free shipping. Checking past orders it seems I usually order during November sale.
Actually, my $120 order said it was going to charge shipping, but in checkout it was free. So, try continuing to checkout to see if it actually does charge shipping.Yeah, I was about to order 2-3 titles, but looks like they're (finally?) enforcing that $75 requirement the way one would've expected (and I wasn't quite prepared to order 4 titles or maybe 3x 4K titles this time) -- we were all guessing about that in previous sales (actually even when it was still just $50), but looks like they musta intended this and finally fixed it.
I have too much disc backlog anyhow on top of all my streaming services *and* (somewhat) recently adding (and loving) AMC A-List, so...
_Man_

Actually, three 4K titles left me pennies shy of the $75 criteria for free shipping. I ended up buying a 4th title.Yeah, I was about to order 2-3 titles, but looks like they're (finally?) enforcing that $75 requirement the way one would've expected (and I wasn't quite prepared to order 4 titles or maybe 3x 4K titles this time) -- we were all guessing about that in previous sales (actually even when it was still just $50), but looks like they musta intended this and finally fixed it.

Criterion's order form was extremely confusing. On the right it would say Shipping Free .On the left side it would say USPS Shipping $7.95 and Faster shipping was nearly double. Twas free though after $75.00.Actually, my $120 order said it was going to charge shipping, but in checkout it was free. So, try continuing to checkout to see if it actually does charge shipping.

There were a couple of interesting 14.97 (sale price) tit;es. AmaZon is less likely to automatically Price Match these.
My general strategy is to buy sets and recent releases through the Criterion.com sales to take best advantage of the $50.00 for $500.00 purchased loyalty rewards. It may take two sales -- but I usually get the $50.00 to use during the current sale.
This is my 2nd order for this sale - which has not shipped:

I believe that was OOS at B&N and not on sale/available during the time I tried to order it at the last B&N sale ...I ordered the same titles save for the Browning set, which I already have.
