Made a list of a dozen or so but no idea how many are unavailable for in store pickup...will have to dig through it I guess.

had a bad experience at my best buy this morning (which ultimately turned out good)...
was first in the store with a buddy - each of us had 5 to trade... arrived at 11am...
clerk(s) were clueless about the promotion going on or how to do it... they tried to tell me it wasn't going on etc but I pointed to their ad as well as the signage...
they got multi other clerks involved but none could find the bar code that needs to be attached to the receipt (I explained that there weren't 5 titles each of us wanted at this time - I was merely trading early so I could use the discount coupons on tuesday!)...
at 11:25 they were no closer to finding it than they were when I got there so thinking I had been patient enough, I requested a manager...
he comes over - tells the clerk that since they can't find the correct way to do the promotion, just "give them both $25 gift cards" since that was the total value of our 5 trades each and be done with it!
so I got the gift cards! now going to wait till tuesday when hopefully they'll know what they're doing and trade 5 more in - and use the coupon in addition to my gift cards!!! ultimately a win win for me, but kinda frustrating that the stores don't know how to handle this promotion...

Wow! I wish that would happen at my store.

Hmm...they took in the series I traded in by disc because they came in those slim dvd packages.

Score! Since I have another 4 season of the show and they are all packaged the same. Guess I'm good on the dvd front

- They should also be warned that BOTH versions have absolute garbage transfers. IMO, not worth $5.

Does Taken have the Taken 2 movie $?

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, (I haven't done this before) so if I trade in two dvds would I get two coupons?

Yes, it has a 10$ coupon for Taken 2, at least my copy did.

The way my Best Buy does it is they give you one coupon, but print out a receipt that shows how many movies you traded in and the cashier just scans the same coupon.

You can add Dumb & Dumber and Donnie Darko 10th Anniversary to the list as well. Picked those up today along with Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, Evil Dead 2, and Pulp Fiction.

FYI, Donnie Darko 10th Anniversary isn't worth the double dip if you already have the original version on Blu-Ray. I went to a used DVD store next-door to Best Buy and sold my old version for $4, so I upgraded to 10th Anniversary for $1, but they literally took the two discs from the older version (same artwork and all) and threw in a digital copy disc and a DVD copy, which had a few extra special features. Worth the $1 to upgrade I guess, not worth $5.

Used the coupons to do a special order at customer service to have all these delivered to my house. Free shipping on all titles too. Added bonus used reward zone plus my shop kick for more points.

Vanishing Point 9.99 - 5.00 = 4.99

Night Watch 9.99 - 5.00 = 4.99

Day Watch 9.99 - 5.00 = 4.99

Fast Action 6 Pack 9.99 - 5.00 = 4.99
(only getting this for eXistenZ even though I heard it wasn't a good transfer on this collection. The single disc for that movie comes out Dec 04, 2012 and I can not wait for that so I went with this instead)

Stake Land 9.99 - 5.00 = 4.99

Has anybody have trouble doing a U&S with a 2 disc dvd that didn't have the bonus features /digital copy disc?

Ran into a little trouble at best buy today. They weren't set up for the promotion yet, so they just manually priced the blus down by 5 bucks. Ended up buying Taken, 50/50 and Fight Club.

They barely even checked the dvd's when I traded them in last time. They just opened them up to make sure they were there and threw them in the bin

I was surprised to see the "I Spit on your Grave" Double feature for 4.99 after coupon.

hope it works for me as well. i asked about the series comes in slim cases last time... but no one seems to respond to me if it works or not.

worked for me, traded in Season 2 of Flavor of Love (bought at thrift store for 3 bucks for this promotion). had three separate dvd slim cases and got 3 coupons out of it. didn't bring them in with the box set cover though.

need to check RED and se7en. thanks!

Awesome. I didn't know you could do a special order with the upgrade and save coupons. I think I will try this tomorrow. Do you have any tips about how I should go about doing this?

I am curious about this as well.
