Scans:

This is the best I could do, maybe some one with a better scanner will post some better scans and I can add them to the OP.

These are great to use in conjunction with the $5-15 clearance games from this thread: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=129052 and are better than the Gamer Gift Card because they can be used on games less than $20. Yes, this new batch doesn't work until March 12, but see the thread at the top of this post for the exact same coupons that are good NOW. This thread is an early heads up that these coupons are good for another month.

I've tried printing out only one of these coupons (by cropping it out) to save ink, but it prints out way too big. Any suggestions?
 
All right. I've put far too much work into this, but the result is a print that, for me, comes out a bit cleaner than the raw scans. Naturally, this edit would suck if the scans weren't good in the first place, so, once again, thanks for the inital ones.

Anyhoo, put this through the Paint Shop/Photo Shop/MS Paint (yep, Paint) wringer - gave it the Clamps, if you will - and here are the results. This is for those who, like me, aren't really looking to buy accessories. The yellow in the BB tag comes out fairly bright, the background a brighter white, the black a darker black, and the lines a little more clearly defined.

Pre-post edit: Looks like I can't attach. In case that's because I have only a few posts (a reasonable rule), if anyone wants to PM me an e-mail address, I can send it to him/her, and he/she can put it up.

Cheers
 
Not that I'd ever be cheap or annoying enough to try this, but just for kicks: anyone know what would happen if you tried to use the $5 strategy guide coupon on a pennied out guide? Would it just not work or would it default to -$4.99? I only ask because the $5 off $4.99 works.

Again, just asking hypothetically because I'm curious and weird. Not looking to try this/rip off the store/start a morality debate, so don't hate me. :p

I don't think anything would happen. Wouldn't the computer not even recognize if it scanned under $0.01?
 
Thanks for the coupons.

I have a question, I want to buy The Godfather for PS2. Its going to be $14.99 next Sunday at Target. Can I take Target's ad to Best Buy and have them match the price afterwards use the coupon?

Severe YMMV, as PM's are one of the "other promotions" that invalidates the use of the coupons. Is normally YMMV.
 
[quote name='benjamouth']Does anyone know if the Coupon for $5 off a 360 Accessory would work on a 1600 point card ?[/quote]

To answer my own question if anyone is interested, it worked fine.

PMed a Nyko Charge Station (360, $35 WFT? at BB, just $25 at Target) for 19.99 then used a $5 coupon for 360 acc 19.99 or less and they took it although it did take manager approval. He didn't even look at it, just did his thing at the register after the cashier called him over. A few days later I tried to PM Super Mario Advance for 13.99 and then use a $5 coupon (no price requirement listed) at a different BB. The cashier denied it without consulting a manager even though I chatted her up nicely. She did take two other coupons though, one on GRAW which was on sale for 19.99. I didn't see a difference on their monitors as both transactions and all coupons used looked the same.
 
I printed out the coupons but the cashier instructions and the "Offer Not valid" text came out blurry. Will they still accept it? The numbers on the bar code are visible.

I sent my edited version for Yukine to put up; I'm sure they'll be up within a day or so.

So Best Buy wouldnt have accepted mine?

There you go.
 
I've been using these printed GP coupons since those sweet $10 off ones a couple of months ago. But yesterday, I had a problem. I actually found Wii nunchucks and decided to use the Wii acc. coupon. I didn't even think twice about using it. The employees usually can't get them to work and then managers usually just make it work. Not this time... they actually rejected the coupon. Are they finally wising up to this? I've been purposely going to this BB because it's in a more "ghetto" area.
 
[quote name='cheapfrag']Picked up Sega Casino (DS) and Triggerman (PS2) -- both free after these coupons.[/QUOTE]


I playing sega casino right now & it worth my time. Yeah, i got it for FREE with Tamagotchi (DS) for $5. :)
 
used one today to pick up a 1600 MS points card for $15. Also, I got a pop-up from my printer driver that I'm running low on black and yellow ink. No coincidence, i'm sure...
 
Bully for the PS2 is $19.99 at CircuitCity. I was gonna price match it but BestBuy didnt have any. Also GRAW for X360 and GTA Vice City Stories for PSP are $19.99 at CC. Those seem like good games to price match.
 
[quote name='walletandgromice']Coupon expires on the 31st...[/QUOTE]



New Gamepro coupon expires april 30. You still have full month to use it
 
Does anyone know if there is a GP coupon for discounts on plain old XBox games? They have GC and WII, PS2 and PS3 but only XB360 so far as I can see.

Thx.
 
Has anyone used the $5 off coupon with SPRUNG for the DS. It's $1.99 and I tried to use the $5 off DS coupon but it didn't bring it down to $0. But a $4.99 PS2 game was brought down to 0.
 
I tried to price match Godfather with Targets $15 price at BB. Then I tried using the coupon to get it at $10, everything was going good until the cashier neede help and called for help. The assistant said I can't use both, price match and coupon.

I want to buy Fight Night Round 3 and The Godfather both for the PS2, when BB has their buy 2 Greatest Hits at $30 will I be able to use the coupons? One coupon for each game so the total could be $20?
 
Isnt Fight Night Rd 3 15 dollars at Target right now? Also...Godfather is 19.99 with the coupon it would be 15 also...making it 30 dollars.
 
any problems using this coupon copied around nyc areas, especially around northern boulevard and rego park [elmhurst, near target and near queens boulevard] area best buy in nyc??

i usually try something like this but they will often deny it.
 
[quote name='forgrim']just say your a magazine collector and u scanned it so you didn't have to cut the magazine[/quote]

i don't particularly believe that they would buy that coming from me.
asian guys don't really collect magazines.......
 
I've used these coupons before at the Rego Park BB. I guess it's just the cashier. Keep trying different cashiers and I'm sure one will honor it.
 
[quote name='forgrim']just say your a magazine collector and u scanned it so you didn't have to cut the magazine[/quote] ...or just do like the rest of us and say that you received the coupon in your e-mail. That is, if the cashier questions you in the first place, which is unlikely unless you raise a fuss.
 
[quote name='lordwow']I agree, it's not abuse considering it's a coupon they are selling with the GC...[/QUOTE]
Exactly. It was clearly designed to sell more games and convince you to buy them at Best Buy. Mission accomplished. I buy hundreds of games a year and nearly all have been at Best Buy since the advent of the first GGC coupon. It's the real reason I'm a Reward Zone program member. It's sad to see the card go. Perhaps Circuit City will have a better year after this. :)
 
Does anyone know if Gamepro will have a new coupon for May? I have a gift card I was planning on using, and if the Gamepro Coupons will be ending on Monday, I will head down to BB and get something. If there will be coupons in the future, then I will wait until there is something I really want to get.

Has there been a new Gamepro since the last one with coupons?
 
I bit the bullet and subscribed. They mailed me a duplicate of the April issue along with the May issue (#224) a couple of days ago. I could live with the wasted duplicate, but the May coupons are unforgiveable. They all read "valid 4/8/07-4/21/07".

I've been waiting to see some sort of admission of a mistake, but I haven't seen one yet.
 
I went into BB and used two Wii accessory coupons and two guide coupons on the same purchase. The register didn't knock any of the $5 off's that it was supposed to. The cashier had to do it manually herself.

As I'm going in to pick up some XBL points cards, some Wii points cards and a couple of Wii accessories tomorrow, I'm betting I'll run into the same thing again.

I had the same problem when I bought C&C 3 2 days ago. Using the coupon actually ADDED a dollar to the total.

According to this thread, this is supposed to be correct. These magazines are usually always at least a month ahead, so we would need to wait for the June issue to see if there are any coupons for May.
 
The May issue (#224) stays on the stands until the 17th, but subscribers will be getting the June one before then so it's about 2-3 weeks till a generous CAG posts the info.

I tried soooo hard to find #223 at BB and wherever they are supposed to be sold and missed by a week the coupons for the 30th exp.

It's stupid that the May issue has expired April coupons that were never valid for May. It's really an incentive for subscribers.

If they keep up the sweet deals I'm gonna have to sign up at BB so the June issue price is applied to the sub.
