The 40% Off Sale this June is scheduled for 1 week only starting 6/13 through 6/19 -- exclusions Disney, Marvel, and Criterions. See SNEAK PREVIEW at end of thread about Criterion Sale
This sale is 40% off MSRP. The June sale has normally also included DVDs unless the Dec sales, but I have no information if that applies to the 2017 sale.
In the past ALL in-store items are discounted (except for exclusions) and the majority of online items (2/3), but often some newer releases and some specialty studio items aren't included online (preorders also excluded). In-store items also include items ordered ship-to-home from a store terminal which also allows your member discount to apply. Many stores will even do this by phone, but this isn't standard policy and my store would only allow CC purchases (no Gift Cards for those that stocked up during the discount GC Sales last Holiday season).
You can also call them and have most items to be brought into the store and reserved for pickup, but remember this is a reservation and not an order so you have to pickup the items during the sale period.
In the past they also allowed discount coupons to used on 40% off items in addition to the member discount, but in December this was curtailed. Unfortunately I don't know how they will be handled this sale plus the number of codes/coupons available has been significantly curtailed over the past couple months.
SNEAK PREVIEW
First word has been leaked that the Criterion 50% Sale is scheduled to start July 11. It's from an employee with a good track record and the date fits with previous sales so I'd say pretty high probability though BN has been known to bump the start date occasionally. With July 4th on a Tuesday though I find it unlikely they'd start on the 4th. No end date was mentioned, but the std July sale has normally been 4 weeks so that would make the last day Aug 7.
