I think it depends on your CS. When they price-matched and the coupon didn't work he said it's cause they PM'ed it, and I said it works on ANY Blu $9.99 and up and they overrode it. So YMMV I'd say

I did, however, run into an issue when I tried to also use an Upgrade and Save coupon and was told by a manager that I, unfortunately, would have to choose between the price match or the U&S coupon (the Amazon price is 30.95 and the price after U&S is 29.99... so it's essentially a wash since I could just buy it on Amazon and not have to pay taxes)... has anyone else been able to get both? Is this ymmv or is it just not gonna happen?

I tried last week to get a price match on Rock of Ages from Toys r' Us and use an U&S coupon, but their system wouldn't let both go through. Previous times the system would let both go through, but they must have updated the system.

Well, I never got a shipping conformation, but I got mine today from UPS. Not a bad $.03 at all lol.

Nice! I still haven't picked mine up, but I've gotten a pick up reminder. I'll probably head there tomorrow to get them.

hmm, I am debating should I get the Stargate: Atlantis set for 75. It is a pretty good deal but not sure if it is worth 75 since i watch them before and amazon prime have them to watch for free.

I had a 2 plush order. Upon pickup they couldn't find the second one. They offered to hold one at a store a bit away. (gas > desire). Told them to keep my penny. Concerned Rep was extremely glad I didn't "go into a rage fit".


At least I got my Taken and Fight Club w/HMM. Maybe that kept me calm...

btw, for every good deal at BBY, something wrong happens with me...and I remind them!

Hmmm... Thanks! I might give it a try this weekend.

It's definitely ymmv. In the previous round of u&s, I must have went to 3 best buys and used manufacturer coupons with u&s coupons with no problem. Today, I went to one where the manager absolutely refuse to take both coupons at the same time (for people in NYC, avoid Atlantic Ave. store like the plague if you're trying to use coupons of any kind not only during u&s but to fair to them, they do pricematch Target sometimes even without the ad) even when I argued that I had no problems using both coupons in 3 other stores in the city. All she had to say is that's what happens when they don't read the terms of the u&s coupon. I wanted to respond it's not like your store is going to lose anything since the coupon would be honored by the manufacturer but didn't want to waste my breath as I know she wouldn't budge for anything. Guess I'll hit a different store tomorrow. Only went to this one to pick up a movie the other stores ran out of.

Picked up Prometheus 3D (actually for the 3D and not the extras) and Alien Anthology today. Ended up getting both for $11.18 out the door after 2 U&S coupons, the 2 $5 off manufacturer coupons, and a $25 RZC.

Debating on whether or not to go back tomorrow and grab Avatar 3D before the deal ends on Saturday.

It's as cheap as they've been and it looks pretty good on BD. Sounds great.

I picked mine up for about that price from Borders right before they went out of business and have been enjoying the purchase.

Question to anyone who has used MovieCash offered through any of these Blus/DVDs:

Have you ever had any luck using the coupon(s) for any movie BESIDES what is listed?

i.e. I have 3 Taken 2 coupons, and my gf and I plan to go on a double date tonight with 2 of our friends to see Sinister. I was thinking of using all the moviecash to get 3 of us in.

I suppose if worse comes to worst, you could just go into a different theater around the same movie time?

I just paid for Taken 2 last week, which we all 4 saw...and i really don't feel like seeing it again

It's amazing the difference that an extra $5 makes on movie decisions

I'll likely not get Prometheus but I know what you're talking about. Don't have a 3D TV and I don't know if I will.

I did the same thing for the Avengers 3D combo pack when Target had it for $20. I ended up PMing it at BB and using the mystery $5 cert to get it for $15. Only thing I missed out on was the Target exclusive disk which would have been nice to have.

Picked up:

Apollo 13
Bourne Supremacy
Bourne Ultimatum
Spartacus

All Universal 100 Anniversary combos for $7 each after coupons. Picked up RED for $5

Most of the coupons have the movie title name in big letters, so it would likely depend on how attentive the cashier is. That being said, I have never attempted this, so I don't know.

I still haven't had time to head down there yet, but I think I might make a trip tomorrow since it's the last day.

Finally made it to BB and ended up with four of the Lucifer plush. Also picked up while I was there:

Avatar 3D
Human Centipede 2
Red Dawn
The Switch

They also had a few copies of Dark Void for 3.99, so I snagged one of those as well.

Didn't get as much as I usually get since I didn't have as many spare DVDs this time but I'm happy with what I got.

Alien Anthology $19.99 after mfr coupon and U&S
Prometheus 3D $14.99 after mfr coupon and U&S

$4.99 each for:

Bloodsport/Timecop
From Dusk Till Dawn 4 pack
Madagascar
Madagascar 2
Predator
Predator 2

Thanks for the head's up on the coupons.com coupons for Prometheus and the Alien Anthology. $15 and $20 respectively after both coupons/promos are applied is a no brainer. While Prometheus felt a bit too cliched and phoned in, it was still quite enjoyable, especially at $15 for the full combo pack.

Honestly they don't care. They get reimbursed by the studio/company. You can pretty much go see any movie as employees don't care and pretty much management doesn't care as long as you don't cause trouble, don't record the movie and buy their over priced food. I have two taken 2 tickets that I plan to waste on another movie. BTW T2 was good....good enough for a third one.. hmm...but in all honesty the first one didn't need a second movie...nor does the second one need a third movie.

All the time. Those are manufacturer's coupons treated as cash by the theaters. Worst case, you just buy tickets to the movie specifically referenced on the "movie bucks" or whatever, then exchange the movie tickets at customer service. Or if it's a movie that you want to watch that you know isn't going to be sold out, then just go and watch the movie you want to watch...
