There is also an online code as well (R7A3A8T) which is stackable.  If you order $50 or more, and one of the items is a DVD over $20, and one is a CD over $10, you'll get $15 off the order. 

Of course, you need to be a B&N member to use them.

 

Hmmm...  With these particularly coupons, what price do they use to qualify for the discount though?

Most Criterion titles are discounted down below the $20 mark now w/ the current sale (plus member's discount), so would they still qualify as $20-plus titles?

Guess I could always just give the online coupon a try and find out...

Thanks again.

EDIT: OK, looks like most Criterion titles won't meet the $20-plus requirement due to the sale -- at least that's how it looks online.  Oh well...

The coupons are based on pre-discount prices so they'll work at least they did for me in my local stores.

There is a pricing quirk between online and in-store.  Online, all $39.99 Criterion are being priced at $19.99, which just disqualifies them from the code's discount.  However, in-store the price is discounted to $20.  Go figure.

THANK YOU!  I took all three coupons to B&N on Sunday and left with the John Cassavetes set and Pigs, Pimps & Prostitutes:  3 Films by Shohei Imamura for about $68 plus tax. 

And there is a second online code available as well (T8X7V7N) which expires 25 Jan 2010.  And here are the associated coupons:

I received a 25% off one item coupon on the mail that can only be used in store:
http://email.bn.com/cgi-bin6/DM/y/mcqc0UWcGl0KjW0BX2k0Fq

It says it expires on November 22nd.

I'm in a different country so whoever wants to use it go for it.

Thanks.  I may use it to pick up Seventh Seal BD (that I reserved online for in-store pickup).

BTW, seems like these coupons are *not* uniquely id-ed and are not tied to specific B&N members, etc. although you generally can only use them once per member account (or per purchase).  So anyone should be able to use that one once.

Thanks for the 25% off coupons.   I never could get the $5 DVD off to work since most of the discs were priced at 19.99.  The computer wouldn't let it scan.   The 25% off worked fine (and basically teh same amount), but I had to buy each disc on a separate receipt.   I'm embarrassed to say I hit up several different stores in the area so the clerks didn't really balk -- partially it was also due to a supply of discs at any particular store being in stock.  

The 25 % off really came in handy buying the Monterrey Pop box which is B&N priced at $70 so it ended up around 23.62 (plus tax), but I got several others for 13.50.

Besides the Seventh Seal BD (and the early purchase of Howards End BD), I also ordered Wings of Desire and Wages of Fear on BD (just in time for the sale deadline) along w/ Stop Making Sense BD and made use of the latest coupon code that offers $5 off $20 title (for SMS) and $5 off $50 total purchase.

Since I found out that I could get B&N GCs w/ my sizeable balance of Amex Optima rewards points, I did that also for a final cost of a little over $5 (after use of a $50 GC).

Also, since the Bing cashback didn't seem to work the last time I ordered from B&N (during the last Criterion sale), I hadn't expected it to work this time though I did use their cashback portal anyway just in case.  And lo and behold, it worked this time, so I'm getting 12% back on the order to boot, which should easily cover the litte-over-$5 final cost.

Here's a Barnes & Noble certificate. 25% off one book if you pay with a Mastercard:

Well, if anyone is actually looking to buy a book, instead of movies, and also have B&N membership, there's also a 40%-off-one-book coupon for B&N members (usable once online and once in store).  Expires today (11/29), so act fast.  Would've posted earlier, but didn't think anyone here would be all that interested.

I don't believe you actually need to use a Mastercard for any of these coupons -- I've never needed to myself either in store or online (and it seems others also haven't had any problems using something other than MC).

What are these "books" you speak of?  Are they region free?

Just be careful that the "books" retain the aspect ratio originally intended by the author.

Do these "books" have subtitles for the hard of hearing?

LOL.  If these "books" have subtitles, they surely must be trickling in one letter at a time ticker-tape style in the old fashioned way.

FWIW, I couldn't resist making use of the coupon and ended up picking up this book w/ it (using an Amex points-funded GC):

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/National-Geographic-Image-Collection/Michelle-Anne-Delaney/e/9781426205033/

Had been wanting to pick up a book or two of this sort for the photographic illustrations (as my kids become more and more interested in such things).  Would've prefered to pick it up in person so I could check it out more thoroughly before buying, but didn't have time to hit the store before the coupon expired...
