all the coupons have different skins, but the promotional codes are indivualized, cause me and another employee dident have same promotional code, so once all 8 of mine are used in store/or online then their no good(i only plan on using one or 2 at the most)

ChrisXE
10-11-2004, 09:17 PM
I am refearing to buy 2 get 1 free game sale, not BOGO, sorry about that. the codes are not valid onlnie yet, BUT the codes are GOOD B&M coming this sunday and says VALID on any deals or promotionals from toys r us. Only thing excluded are diapers, formulas, and videogame HARDWARE.

Man, I dont mean to bash a guy whos trying to share a deal with the community but........WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!!!! Six codes? SIX USABLE CODES? Man, you just jumped in shark infested waters with huge open wounds then decided to cut yourself up some more. I dont know what to say. At first I thought you were just showing off but thats not your style (from what Ive seen of your posts) Dude, pick six of your closest friends, or 5 and give cheapyD one, but dont post them here. 6 lucky people will get in on this deal and the rest will want to burn you alive.

Hey, can we ask for these coupons in store? If it's for friends and family it should be public. Might even be in the Sunday paper.

Where u got the 20$ off coupons?

slidecage
10-11-2004, 10:43 PM
most the time those coupons cant be used with other offers. if they want to dump the 6 codes maybe do something like pick 6 names at random. or just show the things without the codes to let people see what they look like

ChrisXE
10-11-2004, 10:47 PM
actaully the coupon says for EMPLOYEE friends and family(sent from Maryland TOys R Us headquarters) so I doubt they would put them in the sunday paper lol.but the two other toys r us in my district dident get them for some reason, my mamanger said it was an incentive for staying open without power from the hurrican last year. our store got an award+600$ store cash for employee use.

ChrisXE
10-11-2004, 10:49 PM

back up gen that only could power very few things heat lamps(red lighting,only 4 in the whole store where the only things that had power, we had the old schookl credit card thing. me and and other employees walk them around with flashlights, and written down the skins/UPC, and PRICE from the tag. and the cashiers tallied it up with a calcuilator, and took the money from the customer.(no cashregisters or anything)

Im all for hooking up true community leaders. I even suggest a poll with some candidates names and stuff that way its decided by the masses and not just personal opinon (Id hate for somebody really cool to alot of other CAGers miss out because they have yet to have many great interactions with you by dumb luck) Just an idea.

Hey werid i was just checking something. The nEw YU GI OH game hits the PS2 OCT 26.. BUY 2 get 1 free say you do this..... Dump the YU GI OH cards off on ebay for 20 Each.

60 bucks your getting for the 3 set of cards this gives you 3 Games for 20 bucks ( each game is 40) Take the 2 or 3 copies to Ebgames for 20-25 Now you have 120 bucks for 80 .... I might do this trade in my other 2 copies of the game and get RAW VS SMACKDOWN

Not bad 20 bucks out of pocket for YU GI OH and R VS SMACK

All TRU employees are getting those coupons that are good from next Sunday-Tuesday. They were supposed to be given out with checks last week, but probably some people won't get them until this weeks checks. Also, as I posted before I saw next weeks ad and there isn't the Buy 2 get 1 free deal listed. So the coupons are still good, but that would only give you a $50 game for $10 off(not as good as B2G1). If anyone wants I would be willing to give mine away, but the coupon code is the same for everyone. There is an associate coupon SKN and then a coupon SKN for employee's friends/family(912739). It would be too much work for TRU to create a coupon code for each employee. Just ask an employee to use that coupon code number and they may just give you the discount next week, although you are supposed to have the coupon and most likely they will ask you for the coupon instead, but I've read in the past that some people were able to get employees to just give them the discount by telling them the coupon code(at my store I wouldn't do it for someone without the actual coupon).

Edit - The coupons that all TRU Employees are getting are 20% off a $75 or more purchase valid from Sunday 10/17 to Tuesday 10/19. Also, you can not use your employee discount with the coupon(you can't get 20% + 10% off).

10-12-2004, 01:07 AM
lol okay ur thinknig of the right place, but their is no best buy by it, but yes their is a gamestop right outside the mall by the main street with a restauraunt next to it, I think its called Pickadillis or sumthing

I hate to bring up the whole moral issue involving buying multiple copies of the same game (and I do not want to transform this post into the subject), but this post requires it to be pointed out. So many of you have been dragging people who do this through the dirt and essentially calling them selfish dicks. Look at this guy here. He is going to buy 3 Paper Mario's but at the same time is willing to share valuable coupons with other members. How about that?

How does 3 $50 games equal $100 dollars before your coupons and employee discount???

Yes, that is the correct coupon code online. The coupons do not have unique codes on them. If the cashier gave you the coupon back, you could reuse it as many times as you like. The coupons are meant to be only for TRU friends and family, so if you know an employee they should have extras they could give to you. And if an employee uses the 20% off coupon, they can't use their 10% discount on top of that(one or the other).

Also, in this Sunday's ad the Buy2Get1 free sale is not listed. I should have October 24ths ad either tomorrow or Thursday(they send black and white copies to the stores a week or 2 in advance of the ad), so by Friday we should know for sure if anything is happening the 24th of October.

Have you seen the Day after thanksgiving ad yet. I have heard either TRU or KB TOYS is going to be selling GBA for 19.99 (older models) from like 6 to 8 am

Nope, usually they keep that ad wrapped up for awhile. It probably won't be until the first or second week of November people can get their hands on it. After the past few years of stores complaining about people posting the ad online, I bet stores will try to keep the ad under wraps for as long as they can.

On a similar subject I just received a $10 gift card from TRU for being a good customer it came witht eh new flyer and its good towards a purchase of $75 or more.
