[SIZE=+2]WE DO NOT HAVE PDFS OF THE COUPON PRINTING COUPONS, THE COUPONS ARE INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED[/SIZE]

Please keep trade and other off topic chatter to a minimum. It is healthy and unless it gets out of hand or really off topic or in a direction that is heading towards fraud or illegal actions, please do not worry.

The Disney Movie Rewards site has changed, the coupon printing is now associated with your account, printing 2 times per account is now the limit, as well as per computer. This was tested at the end of the Toy Story craze a few months back. If you have a girlfriend with an account or a brother or sister, see if you can have their extra coupons if you need them.

So here are the coupons:

[quote name='Jodou']JFC, the TRU that I returned my pre-orders to last time without a problem tried to deny me this time. Why can't I just get the kid who doesn't give a shit at CS? After five minutes of arguing, a manager finally approved the refund. The things I do for a $2.99 BD on release day lol![/QUOTE]

Can't you redeem the pre-order then return the actual movie?

Here's how I see the process for this movie:

transaction 1:
Total $10 deposit

transaction 2 (as seen on future receipt):
Tinker Bell 0.00
29.99 - 10.00 (BaTB pre-order)
19.99 - 10.00 (TS3 pre-order)
9.99 - 10.00 (price reduction from gift card)

BaTB pre-order 5.00
TS3 pre-order 5.00
Gift Card 10.00

coupon - 10.00

Tinker Bell 3 pre-order redemption - 10.00

Total price: 0.00 + tax

Transaction 1 + transaction 2 = $10 and you get 2 pre orders, 1 movie, and a $10 gift card.

If you think about it, you paid $10 and you have a $10 gift card, so that's breaking even right there. Also you have the movie and the pre-orders.

Thats what I was saying all along. :)
 
Where's the $10 GC coming from? And yes, that's a valid strategy but I'd rather not give them an interest free loan, even for only $10. That's all pre-orders are most of the time unless it's something you know will be rare.

The $10 GC is for preordering Tinkerbell for $10 and is given to you when you pick it up.
 
[quote name='kk012']I'm thinking of returning my 1 TS3 pre-order so hopefully I don't run into any strict CSs. I will keep my 2 BatB pre-orders since TRU will probably still have the best deal on this movie.

So, is PoP any good?[/QUOTE]

Its on the same level as the last 2 POTC movies.
 
[quote name='jgiovanni']The $10 GC is for preordering Tinkerbell for $10 and is given to you when you pick it up.[/QUOTE]
Ah, well. . .fuck that.
 
I understand what you are talking about Jodou, but this is still a pretty good deal if you are planning on picking up any either BATB or TS3. For the $10 that you will dish out, you get Tinkerbell, 2 preorders (BATB and TS3) with $5 each on them and a $10 giftcard.

Then use the Preorder, GC and Manufacturer coupon to get BATB for practically free and return a TS3 preorder from that since you will have $5 applied to TS3 from the Tinkerbell promotion.
 
If I was guaranteed no hassles at CS when returning the pre-orders, then yeah it would be worth my time. Otherwise it's just too much effort for breaking even and a BD I don't want. Also, is Tinkerbell $30 when you pick it up or after the $10 deposit? I think your math is off since there's a $10 coupon, $20 from pre-orders, plus the $10 deposit would mean you're not getting $10 worth from one of the extra pre-orders (TS3/BatB).
 
[quote name='Jodou']If I was guaranteed no hassles at CS when returning the pre-orders, then yeah it would be worth my time. Otherwise it's just too much effort for breaking even and a BD I don't want.[/QUOTE]

I'm still not sure you can return these pre-orders since the receipt will show you paid nothing when purchasing the movie. The only cash you put out will be when you pre-ordered Tinker Bell. Of course, I would guess that you can purchase the pre-ordered movies and return them for a full refund.
 
this is what im planning to do (had to retype this twice because i hit back on my mouse, grr)

pay $10 deposit for Tinkerbell preorder

Tinkerbell transaction
$29.99 MSRP
-$10.00 preorder deposit
-$10.00 manu. coupon
+$5.00 BatB preorder deposit
-$10.00 discount from BatB preorder
---------------------------
$4.99 for Tinkerbell with $10 GC


BatB transaction
$29.99 MSRP
-$5.00 preorder deposit
-$10.00 manu. coupon
+$5.00 Toy Story 3 preorder deposit
-$10.00 discount from TS3 preorder
-----------------------------
$9.99 for BatB

Toy Story 3 transaction
$29.99 MSRP
-$5.00 preorder deposit
-$10.00 manu coupon (assuming it's available)
---------------------------------
$14.99 for Toy Story 3


$10 + $4.99 + $9.99 + $14.99 - $10 GC = $30 + taxes for all 3 movies

assuming you can use the $5/$25 TRU coupon for Tinkerbell, it'd be $25 altogether.
 
what im wondering is if you put the 2 preorders for batb and ts3 w/ tinkerbell, and then when you pick up batb and try preorder ts3 again would that work....

Yeah, see this is the correct math except Tinkerbell cost you $14.99 with the BatB pre-order. So really you're not getting shit but a free BD, which I suppose I could flip but again it's really not worth my time.

Why aren't you using both pre-orders on both transactions? You do know they stack right?

[quote name='ChunkyLover78']what im wondering is if you put the 2 preorders for batb and ts3 w/ tinkerbell, and then when you pick up batb and try preorder ts3 again would that work....[/QUOTE]

Why wouldn't it work? You can pre-order a movie as many times as you want?
 
[quote name='typical guy']Why aren't you using both pre-orders on both transactions? You do know they stack right?[/QUOTE]
Because the max off you can get on Tinkerbell is $20. $10 is assumed from the pre-order and you can't get that back, so $10 off from the manufacturer coupon and $10 off from a BatB pre-order. Total purchase price is $14.99 plus tax, but you get the $10 GC to use on BatB. All you get from the deal is a free Tinkerbell BD IF you plan to purchase BatB or something else with the $10 GC. Otherwise it's a complete waste of time.

Also, trying to pre-order BatB when you're BUYING BatB. . .well, might not go over well lol.

Okay you're off-base with your pre-order details. You do get the $10 pre-order back. It's a deposit that is counted like CASH at the end of the receipt. After all, it IS cash right? You gave them a $10 cash deposit on the movie and you get that 10 bucks back when you redeem your pre-order. It isn't counted towards the price of the movie.

29.99 - 10 for BaTB pre order - 10 for TS3 pre-order = 9.99 for the movie. The deposit is not deducted from the movie line item but rather counted as cash at the end of the transaction on the receipt as you would expect it to. Why would that $10 deposit be "lost"? You pay 10 bucks, then you get that off your total as a cash payment at the end...plus you get a 10 dollar gift card....
 
Every time these Disney movies come out at TRU it is always surprising to me how many people don't understand the way money for preorders work

Well if that's how they handle it, then I guess have at it. I wouldn't have thought you could get a refund of the deposit at the end, since any additional discounts might not apply with legal tender taking precedence. One thing I did forget is that the pre-orders themselves would add the additional $10 to the total, so they'd be canceled out with any refund left over. So yeah, it works but you're still paying $10 OOP in the end for a BD, two pre-orders, and a $10 GC.
[quote name='ackbar7']Every time these Disney movies come out at TRU it is always surprising to me how many people don't understand the way money for preorders work[/QUOTE]I understand fine that the $10 is applied to the pre-order. What I didn't think would work is stacking discounts to the point that the system would issue a refund.

I'm not sure about a refund of the deposit on beauty and the beast or toy story 3 but your 10 dollar deposit counts towards tinker bell and you get the GC. Like you said (now that you see how it works), you get 2 pre orders, a movie, and a 10 dollar gift card - all for 10 dollars. I am already planning on buying my kids stuff at TRU for christmas so if I buy them stuff with this 10 dollar gift card, it's like i got the rest for free!


I guess i posted too fast:
[quote name='Jodou']
I understand fine that the $10 is applied to the pre-order. What I didn't think would work is stacking discounts to the point that the system would issue a refund.[/QUOTE]

I"m not sure I understand the refund thing? there is no refund.

movie = 30
30 - 10 + 5 - 10 + 5 (BaTB + TS3 pre order discounts and additions)= 20
20 - 10 (coupon) - 10 previously deposited on tink 3 = 0 + tax

so you spend only the money of the initial deposit. I'm not sure about the refund, obviously I didn't type it out well enough.

Anyway, it's a great deal, all you spend is $10 and you get a gift card with a $10 cash value so you're pretty much not really spending anything...other than the fact that the 10 dollar GC has to be used at TRU (which isn't a problem for most of us with Christmas coming up). I bet Ebay will be flooded with these things by people that don't even have kids.
 
OMFG, I know there's no refund in this case, but what I'm saying is before I thought one of the pre-order discounts would not apply because the legal tender was already in the transaction. As in you'd already have $30 off from the coupon, deposit, and pre-order discount. If you throw another $10 pre-order discount on, would the system take it or would the legal tender take precedence? That's what I was getting at.
 
typical, he meant returning the preorders from the Tinkerbell and getting $10 back, so in all, the whole transaction comes out for free. I highly doubt it will work on this release using all the stacking.

Lol, I think we're all confused at this point. All I'm asking is would the system give you your $10 deposit back if the discounts equaled the total purchase price or would it negate a discount because the deposit takes precedence?

For example, something costs $20. You have a $5 deposit, but also $20 in coupons. Would the system then give you the full $20 in discounts or would it take your $5 deposit first and then give a maximum of $15 in discounts? I thought it was the latter.
 
[quote name='Jodou']So yeah, it works but you're still paying $10 OOP in the end for a BD, two pre-orders, and a $10 GC.[/QUOTE]

this is the key. of course there is a way around this as well making the entire transaction free, but it takes time. see below.

[quote name='ChunkyLover78']what im wondering is if you put the 2 preorders for batb and ts3 w/ tinkerbell, and then when you pick up batb and try preorder ts3 again would that work....[/QUOTE]

yes, this will work, i currently have xx preorders for both. have not bought a disney movie in the last month with out one or both.

That's what I was getting at.[/QUOTE]

the way the trans action works is in this order, no matter how you hand stuff over, this is how it will get applied, i cant find any of my receipts from ts1 and 2 so the reservation is sort of from memory.

item
discount from promo(s)
coupons
reservations

so:
tinkerbell - 29.99
-10.00 (batb)
-10.00 (ts3)
-x.xx (possible sale price)

batb pre-order - 5.00
ts3 pre-order -5.00

vendor coupon - (-10.00)
reservation - (-10.00)

similar to this:

[quote name='jgiovanni']typical, he meant returning the preorders from the Tinkerbell and getting $10 back, so in all, the whole transaction comes out for free. I highly doubt it will work on this release using all the stacking.[/QUOTE]

this would work if you made the purchase without the coupon, went back, returned the preorders, then added the coupon after. but like i said above, alot of time is used as you would essentially have to leave and come back later to return the pre-orders. then potentially another time with the coupon.
 
[quote name='klwillis45']FWIW & YMMV. I had Tinkerbell preordered from Amazon for $21.99. I shot them an email about the $10 coupon & they credited my order.[/QUOTE]

Totally YMMV. I got shot down trying the same. What wording did you use?
 
I've watched the posts go back and forth about using the pre-orders to get extra discounts, then returning the pre-order (I'm assuming meaning the cards). Up to this point, I've not really commented on that concept. And by all means, take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. BUT I honestly don't think I'd have the nerve to do that. Seems to me that is just shy of "stealing" from the company. (IMHO) And then some of you get upset with the CSR or manager give you a hard time about it? I AM NOT SAYING IT IS WRONG. Just saying that for me it is MORALLY NOT RIGHT.

So far, I've only purchased pre-orders for the movies I'm interested in (NOT Tinkerbell) and in the quantity I need (one each). I think if I were going to try to get the extra discount by purchasing an additional pre-order card, I'd chalk it up to just getting a $5 discount ($10 discount - $5 preorder cost) and be done with it. Then I'd either toss the card or give it to someone else to use to purchase the movie.

Again, just my opinion. I'm glad I stumbled across CAG. This is a great forum. And I've benefited from the information you guys have provided. (Thank you!) I may not agree with every post(er). But definitely glad to know you guys are out here... (The only downside is when there are sales you guys talk about and I don't have the $$$ for it that week!) :)

Ok, I'll step down now. Again, definitely not CRITICIZING just adding my two cents.

I don't think anyone is actually talking about returning the pre-orders for this?

Might be
 
[quote name='basketb']Totally YMMV. I got shot down trying the same. What wording did you use?[/QUOTE] I don't remeber my exact wording but I said I wanted to keep my order with them. But I also threatened (very nicely) to cancel my order if they wouldn't honor the coupon.

There were a bunch of rebate deals for Braveheart and stuff but you had to send in the UPC of the new movie and the old DVD (they were upgrade rebates). I'm fairly sure they're expired by now though.

No point in returning the preorders if you are picking up the Tinkerbell BR, they theoretically come out for free.

Not quite. Depends on how you look at it really since either the GC is free or the pre-orders were free. Either way you had to pay $10 up front, so technically you could be looking to recoup that money and walk away with a truly free BD and $10 GC. I suppose BatB will be MSRP when it comes out or are these type of releases typically on sale the first week?
 
I sincerely am trying to follow what you guys are saying and I'm completely lost.

I'll probably try the amazon route, if not I'll just stick to target.

I'm sure someone in the family will enjoy the movie

Which part lol? It gets very confusing if you don't work it out on paper, since there's a lot of details to remember.

We are just quarelling over returning preorders.

Do a Tinkerbell preorder for $10.

On Tuesday, pick up Tinkerbell.

$29.99
-10 BATB Preorder
-10 TS3 Preorder
-10 Manufacturer Coupon
+5 BATB Preorder
+5 TS 3 Preorder
-10 Tinkerbell deposit.
-------------------------------
$0 plus tax for the BR, 2 preorders and a $10 gift certificate

Total cash outlay would be the $10 for the Tinkerbell preorder. Don't forget that the TS3 and BATB preorder from this will ahve $5 put towards each movie

Edit: On another note, I was able to return the 2 preorders that I made when picking up POP Tuesday, no hassles.

Hey, you can always try to do the retun on the Preorders, it dosn't hurt and if you get denied, return the whole thing. (If you are near a TRUS that is).
 
[quote name='sangredekrazy']Is TRU good about price matching? They have Tinkerbell going for 29.99 but Best Buy has it at 25.99.[/QUOTE]

Nope
 
Ah. Now its 100% understandable. I was flipping through the pages and saw receipt scans and was like wtf are these guys doing? Haha. But yea, i def plan on trying the try deal out now that i understand it. Just need to get my printer working now...
 
Also total cash spent would be ~$20. Except, you return preorders so that's -$10 giving you $10 spent for the movie + gc. So theoretically you're buying a gc and getting the movie free
 
NO, total cash out would be $10 plus tax

1) preorder Tinkerbell for $10.

2) when you pick up the movie (no particular order).
29.99 Tinkerbell
-10 BATB Preorder
-10 TS3 Preorder
+10 (2 preorders)
-10 Tinerbell preorder from (1)
-10 Manufacturer Coupon.

Total should be $0 plus tax in the end, regardless how the gift card is rung up since it is free with purchase for reserving.

Tinkerbell BR, $10 GiftCard, $5 on BATB and $5 on TS3 for the inital investment of $10. (When picking up the Tinkerbell BR, might just have to pay a few pennies on the tax).

Hope this clears it up

Edit: this is assuming you do not return the preorders, you can try and if successful, you will get $10 back making this whole transaction theoretically free (covers your $10 initial preorder) (except for time and gas spent).
 
WOW. that's insane! Now to just pull it off. Also, what're we going to do when BatB and TS3 actually come out? (In terms of getting free/dirt cheap blus) haha

Guys, I hope what I layed out clarifies everything.

Also for BATB, TS3 Preorder will take $10 off and the MC will take $10 off. If you keep the preorder from Tinkerbell, it is another $5 so....

yea I understand now.

I had to get a piece of paper and write it all out though, haha.

also, I ordered it on amazon and shot them an email and they turned me down. so, once again, YMMV there.

Yeah, Amazon can't come close to the prices we're getting for new Disney movies thanks to the TRU exploit/manufacturer coupons.

yea. it's ridiculous how cheap we manage to get them.

not to mention over half of the blu-rays I own are Disney blu's :p
 
is there any way to print the coupons while avoiding the whole coupon printer bs?

my printer broke at home and I'm trying to print it at rutgers but the damn thing wont let me install it on the comp lab computers -.-

You could try printing it to a file on your computer, then transferring the file to the lab computer and printing like that.
 
[quote name='Chambered']You could try printing it to a file on your computer, then transferring the file to the lab computer and printing like that.[/QUOTE]Nope, the coupon server MUST communicate directly with a networked printer or else it fails. Trust me, they've meticulously made it impossible to make copies of coupons, even if it's for legitimate reasons like he has.
