B&N Criterion Sales starts July 2, 2021! (1 Viewer)

[Filmgazer]

I was at my local Barnes & Noble store here in Louisville, KY today and the girl at the Customer Service desk confirmed that the Criterion 50% Off Sale starts Friday, July 2, 2021. Get your "Wish List" ready!

My "Wish List" is ready!

By the way, does anybody know when Criterion do their "Flash" sales?

By the way, does anybody know when Criterion do their "Flash" sales?

Over the last few years, most commonly 4th Tuesday in February and 3rd Tuesday in Oct though there is always a bit of wishy washy in their dates sometimes depending on a High Profile release they want to include

I might have to check out the B&N right outside of Lexington KY (Hamburg shopping complex) this weekend. I haven’t been in that store in forever. The last time I was there, they did have a pretty sizable section of Criterion titles.

Amazing They Still haven't hinted at releasing 4k titles

Amazing They Still haven't hinted at releasing 4k titles

Criterion has indicated they won't be releasing 4K blu-rays in the near future. B&N has 4K disc on sale (at least online.) I have not been unknown to use one of them to get the Criterion sale order up to free shipping.

I completed my B&N order!

I won’t buy through B&N as you have to have a membership to get free shipping.

However, FAST TIMES finally came back down to $19.95 with a coupon for an additional .40 off on AMAZON. I went ahead and ordered it, knowing fully well the 4k will be out in a year.

It helped I had a Gift Certificate so I didn’t really feel the pain of that purchase.

It looks like Amazon is price matching a bunch which is great because I have gift cards from them, or I can use their credit card and take an extra 5% off - just put in an order for Bringing Up Baby!

For the first time in small print the 50% off sign at Barnes and Noble stated that the discount can not be combined with the regular membership discount. We have known for a while that this is how it is now but this is the first time I saw it in writing. My membership expires next week and that is it for me. No reason to have a membership.

 

[Traveling Matt]

I overheard one of the two employees in the video section (there were two!) confirm over her headset to another employee that the membership discount can't be applied, so at least some of them are aware. She looked at the sign to confirm it herself though.

 

[DavidJ]

I’ve let my membership go as well. They’ve become too restrictive which means I now buy way less at Barnes & Noble than I used too.

I won’t buy through B&N as you have to have a membership to get free shipping.

B&N offers free shipping on orders of $35 or more, so if you are buying two or more Criterion titles shipping is free.

That being said, I ordered my three titles through Amazon, since I had rewards points to apply. Amazon has not price matched "Now, Voyager" though, so that title may have to wait for a future sale.

 

[Matt Hough]

Yes, I only had one Criterion I wanted and didn't have since the last sale: Nightmare Alley, so I just got it at Amazon.

What credit card gives you 5% off at amazon?

 

[Garysb]

What credit card gives you 5% off at amazon?

The Prime branded Visa card gives 5% reward. The bank is Chase.

 

[dpippel]

The Synchrony Bank Amazon Store Card also gives you 5%, or 6 months interest-free on the purchase (your choice), depending on the item.

That's not correct, as was pointed out above.

As to buying my Criterion discs through Amazon or B&N, all the Criterion discs I want are currently on sale at B&N, and only some of them are on sale from Amazon, so it's an easy choice.

No, actually, in my case it’s very correct.

I only wanted one title. If I bought it at B&N I would have to pay shipping as my order came under $35.

On the other hand, I can buy it price-matched on Amazon with no additional shipping charges.
