Yes exactly I traded in 3 DVD's and they stapled 3 of those white upgrade and save coupons to my receipt.

The 2 stores around me don't enforce this at all.

Same here. My store just checks the DVDs and gives you the coupons, no receipt. And they all seem to know how it works, but that could be because most of them have worked at this store for years.

Re: Best Buy Upgrade & Save 4/21/13 - 5/11/13

I had 2 Upgrade and Save coupons left.

Used them to pick up Serenity and The Incredible Hulk, which both came with the Oblivion $8 off online coupon.

I want to see Oblivion, but obviously I don't need 2 online coupons. So, I used one of them to make the purchase online, paid the $2 difference, went to my local theatre to pick up my ticket, told them I changed my mind and want to see Iron Man III instead. They had no problem with it. They exchanged my ticket and I got to see Iron Man III for $2. Will use the other coupon to actually see Oblivion sometime next week.

Could someone check the price on the 2D version of The Lorax (2012) if you're in BB during this last week of U&S? Thanks!

Made another run today with an awesome CSR helping me out.

$4.99 Taxi Driver
$4.99 Space Jam
$4.99 Safety Not Guaranteed
$4.99 South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut (this rang up $7.99 in store, but was $9.99 on BBY.com. She adjusted it up for me to get the discount).
$4.99 Top Gun (rang up as $12.99, but was stickered at $9.99. Again, she marked it down for me)

Finally they had the remastered "The Terminator" for $9.99 and got this puppy for $4.99 with the U&S.
Now I can chuck the version that came with the Digibook.

Re: Best Buy Upgrade & Save 4/21/13 - 5/11/13

Since the CSR's have been handing the U&S coupons back to me, I have 8-10 coupons (I have to check) that I probably won't use. I guess I will make a trip to a couple more BBY to see if there is anything I really want, but I'm trying to cut down. 3 of the BDs I did return/rebuys on ended up today for 4.99 today anyway. I probably will only get the BBY exclusive of the DC animated movie (I don't even know the title ) and maybe Coyote Ugly, but I may be finished.

Re: Best Buy Upgrade & Save 4/21/13 - 5/11/13

Stopped in to see what they had and they finally had Limitless (Snoopy dance!) and a bunch of other stuff, but I only had 3 coupons and that was a mistake because there were only two uncrossed-out lines on the receipt, but the cashier let me slide, so I got:

* Limitless
* Drive
* In the Land of Blood and Honey

There was more stuff, but I'd left my bag of Dollar Tree DVDs at home. Drat! Fortunately there was a Dollar Tree just a mile down the street, so I went and bought 5 for five cents (total, not each; not kidding) and went and swapped those in to pick up:

* Grease
* Ghost
* In Time
* Fatal Attraction
* The Boondock Saints 10th Anniversary Edition

FYI, many of the previous 3D sale prices were not extended. Everything in my cart jumped up in price by a ton. I procrastinated on a few. I snoozed, I losed. However, there are several new 3D titles which I do not think were included before. Many $19.99 titles, which will be $14.99 after coupon.

I picked up today for $4.99 each:
Limitless (no slip cover)
Safety Not Guaranteed
A Dangerous Method
The Words
The last 3 are all blind buys.

4th haul:
The Untouchables (4.99)
American History X / History of Violence (4.99)
The Great Escape (4.99)
The Town (4.99)

I got these from the BB right near my house, as they got some more titles in stock and increased their selection a bit. Used a $5 FB RZ cert to make this $16.04 out the door.

5th haul:
Eyes Wide Shut (4.99)
The Blind Side (4.99)
Breakfast at Tiffany's (4.99)
Taxi Driver (4.99)
Zodiac (2-Disc Director's Cut) (7.99)

I got these from a BB farther away that really cut down their Blu-ray shelf space this weekend and got rid of several titles I was planning to buy.

I'm really running out of things of interest in store and exhausted the DVD stock of the DT near my house. I think this will be my last U&S run, but I may pick up a couple of the $4.99 sale titles like Donnie Darko and Benny & Joon.

$5 each:
The Fast and the Furious (with $8 FF6 Fandango cash)
Safety Not Guaranteed
Scarface (with $8 FF6 Fandango cash)

The Fandango cash really made this purchase awesome!

Is there a special display for that, or were the titles mixed in the aisle?

Sad times, same here, I was looking to get either Wrath of the Titans for 9.99 or the Silent Hill sequel for 14.99. No dice, too late.

In the mean time I picked up The Master for $12.99
