I was looking for quick cash with the first place but if I can get some good Blu-Rays out of it I may just do this but don't know how it works.

Next time, just look up a few posts.

Can you use it on any Blu-Ray? Only on Blu-Rays $9.99 and up. Previously, music Blu-Rays have been excluded, but everything else is game. 3. Is there a limit of coupons you can receive? 5 per day seems to be the limit. 4. When does the coupons expire? Last day of the promotion (8/11). 5. Do multiple disc DVDs = multiple coupons? No. If you trade in a TV show season boxset = 1 coupon, not 3 or 4. 6. Can I trade in ANY DVD? Naturally, they won't accept DVD-R/RW's nor will they accept pornos. So, no trading in Wii Like 2 Part 3. 7. Can this be applied to past orders? No. At most you can do a return/rebuy, but you would have to pay the current price so it may not be worth it. 8. Do I get the coupon back if I return the Blu-Ray I used a coupon on? YMMV. Rule of thumb, be sure you are content with what you're getting before you use a coupon on it. 9. Do the DVDs I trade have to have the actual artwork and any inserts? YMMV, but unless you get a real douche at CS, most won't care as long as it's in a case. (Generic DVD case will do) 10. I'm low on DVDs, any suggestions? Dollar stores and places like Big Lots will occasionally carry $1 DVDs that you can get to trade in to Best Buy. Garage sales work as well if you can find one that is selling DVDs on the cheap. 11. Do coupons stack? Nope. 1 coupon = 1 Blu-Ray purchase. Of course you can use multiple coupons in one transaction if you are purchasing the same amount of Blus. This should be added to the OP.

Pft, sorry about that. I usually do, been dead tired all day and didn't opt to do that this time. Thanks again.

EDIT: Ok, after reading that, so you can basically only trade them in 5 DVDs a day since it says you only seem get 5 coupons a day? If that's the case, kinda sucks for me as the nearest one is like an hour drive from me. It won't be something I could do everyday since that's a long drive (and gas consumed) just to get a few $5 off coupons for as many movies as I have.

- YMMV. I've traded in 7 movies before I even knew about the limit and had no issues. It really depends on the cashier or manager. If you brought someone along with you or used a different cashier, you might have luck with that.

Although a 1 hour drive plus gas tends to put a damper on things.

Pics..if it happens...

Son of a B.... I just noticed that the Blockbuster sale ended 10/1.

So it looks like you can get Predator 1 + 2, X-men, and Aliens 1-3 for $4.99 each with upgrade. Might have to bite on some of those.

I am hoping workaholics s1 & 2 blu stay at 12.99, the 5 off and I got a rewards cert to use. 2.99 plus tax would make for the tightest butthole.

Picked up a few marked down DVDs for $.38 each a CVS yesterday to trade in next week.

Yepper, it's happening. I checked the ad yesterday at work. Two page advertisement, and the bottom of each page has examples of what you can get for what price. I recall seeing Predator on one of the pages. Sorry if I'm repeating information!

Well considering this is an actual topic, yeah you're kind of late.

Sweet. Glad I saw this thread.

Thanks for the extra confirmation Travman.

I'm looking to pick up the CM Punk Blu Ray and anything that has movie cash. Looking forward to the Upgrade and Save again.

- Unfortunately, the Predator transfer (Regular and Ultimate) are both horrific. Even at $5, I would pass.

So in the latest announcement they indeed say it's 5 per trip. The smartass in me assumes I can't simply walk into the store with 5 DVDs, get my coupons, then return to my car and re-enter with another 5 DVDs and repeat amirite? If that's the case which I'm sure it is I wouldn't get any crap if I went in with some friends and they each had 5 of my movies along with myself right? I mean they really don't know they're carrying my stuff (or even if they suspect it no proof) so as long as they don't see anyone throw the coupons my way after the exchange I should be good right? The nearest Best Buy around me is over an hour away and my friends and I usually go up there once a month so it's not really a place I can keep visiting constantly just to throw down another five.

Will the Punk blu be on the list? Is it everything or just what's on the list?

You can't PM and use the upgrade and save coupon right?

Would have been nice to PM Fry's 19.99 for Avatar 3D and use the coupon.

will this be advertised in store or in their ad?

It's very YYMV as it is considered double dipping. I haven't been successful but you can always try.
