Les visiteurs du soir was todays purchase.

Does anyone know if the BN BUZZ $5 off a $15 purchase works anymore? I was told by a employee it expired 11/1 but it doesn't have an expiration date on the coupon.

Went back and got Late Spring and Charade.

Since I don't have a B&N near me I Pm'ed Rosemary's Baby and The Game at BBY. Hopefully going to make a trip to a B&N about 30 mins north of me to see if I can grab some others I was hoping to get (Dazed and Confused, Royal Tennebaums, Godzilla, The Killing)

I PM'ed the DEAL at Best Buy because they are selling most of the collection for $29.99. I got Rosemary's Baby, The Game, and Dazed and Confused for $14.99 each. Might come back later tonight, or perhaps tomorrow to get a few more titles.

Hrm. Rashomon is listed at $34.04 on the website. Hope it rings up properly as part of the sale in the store...

Oh, also, rumor over at DVD Talk (from the OP of the B&N coupon thread, who is usually right) is that there will be a 20% off member coupon starting on Thursday.

Worked fine for me in store.

Anyone find any good non-Criterion deals during this sale?

I was happy to grab both A Separation and Midnight in Paris for half off in the non-Criterion art house side of this sale. A Separation especially; I hadn't seen it much cheaper than $25 since its release, but was $18 before membership discounts and the like here.

There was a 20% coupon that showed up in the mail yesterday, with one of the unique coupon codes. It won't stack with the Criterion 50% off sale.

God, these things always bankrupt me.

In for Rosemary's Baby, The Game, The Thine Red Line, Days of Heaven, Videodrome, Three Colors collection, Godzilla, and House.

Forgive me, wallet.

Grabbed Rashomon, preordering Brazil before it ends and I want Trilogy of Life... but likely won't get it. Too broke, Kotobukiya has two statues I'm picking up next week at $60 a pop.

Not sure about the coupon that shrike got in the mail yesterday, but here's a 20% off member coupon with a non-unique code. Don't know whether it will work online, but it definitely works in-store, as I used it tonight (even though it says it doesn't start until tomorrow) to pick up Sunday Bloody Sunday and The Forgiveness of Blood...

Good through Sunday.

Did it work with the 50% discount?

Yup. Came out to $14.39 each (before tax).

So, quick question: I've never tried using a membership coupon in-store before. What's your pitch to the cashier to get him or her to reuse the coupon for multiple items? Something like: "If I had printed out 4 of these coupons I could just walk out the door and come back in and buy another movie, so why not just apply it four times to these now?"

Also, since I don't have a printer at home, has anyone had success showing the coupon on a smartphone? Thanks for the help, everyone.

Brazil is showing that it's not $19.99 any longer, it's pre-order "discount" price of $42.57.

Weekend, Trilogy of Life and Heaven's Gate are showing as pre-orders with the $19.99 price, Brazil isn't.

Found that one yesterday morning in my email from BN.com and used it with the $8 off $40 single movie and $5 off $50 purchase coupon, plus my BN membership to get The Game, Rashomon and Rosemary's Baby for $46.43 after tax.

Before I bought the movies I used the $10 additional GC w/$75 GC purchase to get a $75 GC and the bonus $10 GC (which doesn't work until 12/26/12), used the GC to make the purchase.

None of the coupon codes I've found for online use seem to stack with the discount and as I hate to use the in-store coupons more than once per sale, that might be it for me. Was going to pick up Eating Raoul if I could get an online coupon to work with it.

Honestly, it's going to depend on the cashier. Most of the time you're probably not going to get them to do it. The only times that I've even tried have been with cashiers that I know and am friendly with (so it helps to get to know some B&N cashiers ), and once or twice when the cashier has actually offered it to me. It can't hurt to ask, but be prepared to be turned down.

When I picked up two titles in one trip the other day, I did it by giving one of the titles, a copy of the coupon, and some cash to my girlfriend and having her buy one of them.

Other than that, multiple trips back to the store (when different cashiers are on duty) is your best bet.

Yeah, I've done it lots of times. All they need to do is type in the number under the barcode, though sometimes (depending on the cashier), they'll insist on seeing the whole coupon first.

The cashier that rang me up at B&N tonight (picked up Le Havre) told me that the Criterion sale has been extended until 11/29. I have no idea how true that is (haven't managed to confirm it anywhere else), but she seemed to sincerely believe it.
