Toys R Us $5 Off $25 Purchase Coupon - Online and B&M - April 18 and 19

[mephitical]

Didn't see this in any of my searches, but if it's part of a larger thread or is known already I can close this thread. It's not good on hardware, but should work fine for games (especially clearance ones since most stores currently have at least 20% off clearance).

If you're ordering online, you can use any of these codes:

Wow! Thanks I like instead deal better ;) Maybe, go back return & rebuy Fear + another Cheap DS game :)

[gobearson3]

It says "only original coupons accepted" in the fine print...I'm assuming this is a scan of an original??

Hopefully the online codes work though, thanks. :)

It is not a scan of the original, it is the original. Look at the URL. It is hosted on the TRU site.

[prateeko]

Very nice, now to track down the clearance thread...

[gareman]

lookin' good....when combined with 2 clearance games at 20% off!

[KingofOldSchool]

Grrr I won't be in town most of the day tomorrow so people might get the clearance games I want since there are only one of each.

[siderealshift]

It says "One coupon per guest". Since Toys R Us always asks for your phone number when you buy something, do they have some way of tracking whether you've already used a coupon? I realize we're talking about Toys R Us, here, but I was just curious.

[CocheseUGA]

Hmm...it would be a way of reducing the assraping of GT5P...

[gobearson3]

oh, my bad! :) i blame misunderstanding on a lack of sleep. Now this deal is even better, since I'm tired of arguing with Target cashiers about video games being electronics vs toys.

I wish saving money didn't require spending a lot in the process...darnit, CAG!!!

[SSJMies]

If only I had a TRU nearby like I have a Target nearby. :/

Shipping's ridiculous on online orders as well (basically the same $5).

I seriously doubt they are that concerned about limiting the coupon usage.
Besides, you could always decline giving them your information, I do it all the time. When they ask you for phone number, just say no thank you. ;)

The phone number thing is so R Us can send you their newsletter and mailings (Babies R Us does the same thing). If it was able to keep track of your purchases then you would no longer need a receipt for returns (like if you use the store credit card) which is not the case. Plus, more than one guest can have that phone number, so if anyone ever questioned you, you could just say "my roommate used one".

[Despacio]

I wonder if you can use this for pre-orders. Like pre-order Mario Kart and pay the full 49.99 there, then use the coupon to get $5 off.

You can't do this in store. The system won't allow it.

[Sharp Katana]

looks good. Wondering what I should get

[emg28]

I received this coupon by e-mail. Hopefully, they have Rondo of Swords in by Friday or Saturday. I already have FF:CC so I can't get in on the 50% off deal.

happy boy oh yeay~!!

[eau]

Dang! Right after I picked up 2 clearance games for $32 total. Not worth the gas going back to price adjust though.

[Perfect*Ending]

Going back tomorrow for return/rebuy...

[cougar123]

nice

[Indiana Jones]

Would a $20 item and a $5 pre-order work for this?

[gareman]

going to get godfather 360 and fifa 06 world cup for a little over 20 bucks total!

[hiamiyumi]

I'll use this coupon to get a HD-DVD Add-on for $35
thanks OP

[darkclawsofchaos]

Can this be combined with the FF:CC + 50% off FFT deal?

[eau]

Probably not. The FF:CC deal starts on Sunday and the coupon expires the day before that.

[darkclawsofchaos]

Probably not. The FF:CC deal starts on Sunday and the coupon expires the day before that.

Darn, is TRU always competent? Because sometimes cashiers just swipe the coupon without looking and the computer is not updated. Especially if you go to the ones that look lethargic and indifferent.

[Civickid96]

Nice coupon.

Gonna try to find a copy of Virtua Tennis 3 and maybe Jean D'Arc to use this on. =)

--Michael

[Wolfpup]

Probably not. The FF:CC deal starts on Sunday and the coupon expires the day before that.

What Final Fantasy: CC deal? I kind of liked the first one even though technically it had all sorts of problems, so I might bite on the sequel if it's cheap enough...

Anyway thanks for this coupon! I'm thinking I could go pick up Advance Wars or something.

[CocheseUGA]

Wow, my TRU actually had things worth buying. So much so that I had to put some stuff back.

Walked out with GT5P and Saints Row for $55, after tax and Autism donation.

yo yo yo~!!

I got Rondo-do-do~!

of Swo-Swo-Swo~!

I'm like whoah whoah whoah

I'm a thankful dood like jolly saint Nick ho ho ho~!

I saved five bucks from my stash of dough-ohh-ohh~!

<('_'<) ~ <(^_^)> ~ (>'_')> <-- happy JEKKI dance!

oh oh oh yeay~!!

gotta play dat game now so my character levels can grow-ow-ow~!

[Perfect*Ending]

I just want to point out that this "$5 off $25" does not work exactly like it sounds for clearance games. Whether the coupon is scanned first, last, or in any order, the $25 you must spend is AFTER the 20% discount.


For example, you buy two clearance games at $14.98 each.

Game A = $14.98
Game B = $14.98
TOTAL = $29.96 - 20% discount = $23.97

The total is $23.97, and the coupon cannot take effect in the system.

You must add a filler to boost over $25. Tax is applied at the very end.


That's my experience today. Anyone had any other experiences that did work as planned?

Damn. I got shut out at 2 TRUs near me. They didn't have Rondo of Swords in yet. I have another 1 to check tommorrow. Maybe I will call first. :-(

[vanilla_shakin_it]

My browser won't open the print link. Can someone host it here PLEASE? I was going to go tommorow morning but it looks like I might not have my coupon.:cry:
EDIT: nevermind my other computer is fucking old and the hosted pic wasn't showing up. Thank you!

[iluvmywife]

We walked into ToysRUs today and my wife mentions this coupon but said she did not print one out. I am like WTF? About 99% of the time my wife is super about printing coupons out and doing everything to save money so this one caught me by surprise. To make matters worse, TRU actually had a lot of 19.98 games with the addition 20% off that I was interested in. Long story short, we walked out with nothing and I complained like a spoiled child all the way home!

This is how TRU's register work. They changed this a few years ago after a couple employees took advantage of using multiple coupons on transactions. Before, TRU didn't keep track of it's store use coupons, and went by the total regular price. Now, since because of said employees, the coupons work based on what the final subtotal is. This is also the main reason most stores won't accept photocopied/printed coupons anymore.

[Josef]

The coupon can be used online and the TRU website currently has free shipping on all Sega games. Mystery Dungeon, I'm looking at you for $24.99 shipped :)

[dboy81]

Thanks OP. Used it today to get some stuff I've been looking at for a while.

[turls]

Not a video game (but good for a Lego Star Wars game collectable), but a good thing to use this on is the Luke Skywalker lego that was like $60 originally. Its $35 - 20% off (YMMV?) and which puts it right over $25 for the coupon.

They also had one left of the VGA cable for the 360, which I thought was going to be hard to find (plus I didn't know I was going to be at a TRU today), and I could have gotten that for like $8 instead of the $40 I paid.

Damn. I didn't know Dead Rising was on clearance! #-o
Too bad, I won't be able to use the coupon on it. Oh, well.

[iluvmywife]

There is another coupon at TRU. My wife was able to get one at the Customer Help desk. On the cover it has "Summer Fun, Passport ot Savings april 20th - May 3rd"

Included is the following:
$5 off $25
$7 off Panpers
$3 Formula
15% any one item

The kicker is that unlike the previous coupon, the fine print states not valid on video game hardware and software.

Perhaps TRU will not catch it early on about the software exclusion!
