24 Seasons 1-6 for $26.54 total!
This week Best Buy has 24 Seasons 1-6 on sale for $16.99 each. Season 1 Steelbook version is on sale for the same price.
Here's the kicker: On the front of the Steelbook case is a coupon that allows you to get $15 off EACH of Seasons 2-6 making them $1.99 each and the total purchase $26.54 + tax out the door.
If the cashier and/or management refuse to give it to you, show them that the coupon explicitly states that up to $75 can be saved ($15 off 2-6).

That's hilarious! I hope everyone can take advantage of this (obviously unintended) deal.  |

Technically, the store could use the coupon's disclaimer ("not good in combination with other coupon or offer") to deny use of it. Their argument would be, of course, that the sale price is another offer.

The coupon is a manufacturer's coupon so BB will get their money back when they turn in their coupon to Fox (unless, like Scott said, Fox says it's null and void because of the sale).

Good luck to anyone who tries it. Hope it works!

I tried today. Store manager refused to honor the deal. Said it didn't apply to already discounted merchandise. Oh well.

That's correct. Best Buy has a standing policy that it applies to "original retail price" not for items that are on sale.

Even on manufacturer's coupons? It doesn't seem that they would be allowed to do that. I know that I've used manufacturer's coupons on sale items at Best Buy. It's probably the fact that this one makes it SO cheap that they even notice and wonder if they shouldn't put their foot down.
Plus, as someone above stated, they get their money back anyway. I'd be willing to bet that the BB in my area wouldn't have a problem - it probably all comes down to which employee you get. |

Either that or it'll depend on how big of a scene you're willing to make so they give you what you want just to get you to leave the store. |

So true, my friend, so true...
I always march right in the store ready to make the scene (especially something like this, where technically, I AM right), but end up chickening out when I get up there. I'm such a non-confrontationalist. Yep, that's probably a word - in fact, you might say I'm very confrontationalistically challenged. And if you do say it, I'm going to march right in there and tell you... that it's hot outside. |

I tried another BB in my town today. Same thing. Store manager refused to honor the coupon, even after I pointed out that he would get the missing 15.00 refunded to him by the DVD company. I asked him what difference does it make if I give you the 15.00 or the company gives you the 15.00? Best Buy won't be out any money, but will lose goodwill. He wouldn't budge.

All you have to do is a make a scene. Start arguing, raise your voice. They'll just be happy to get you out of the store ... my dad did that once at Sears over their Craftsmen tools. My dad found a wrench of something that was broke and Sears has a lifetime guarantee on that product line so he started raising his voice and Sears exchanged the tool just to get him out of the store and it was on a Saturday and during their busiest time.
