Mastercard coupon worked perfectly. After member discount and an additional 30% off, got the Qatsi trilogy for $25.17 plus tax.

Ugh they have the worst customer service ever! I tried explaining the issue through chat again and all I got was "we are not responsible for our inventory" and some other generic crap. I tried again through a long-ass email, we'll see!

oh yeah, that one... went over to the Bow Tie cineplex a few months back and it was (*poof*) gone - ugh how annoying. I find Tyson's selection of Criterion blu's disappointing when compared to Potomac Yards and Bethesda (Rockville's selection is also decent)

So part of my initial order seems to be stuck in limbo.
I'll try to be brief: I initially placed it when coupon codes still worked, so I managed to get $3 off. Paid with the gift cards I got as part of the promotion. While the order was waiting for the last 2 items to be released (City Lights and Frances Ha), the coupon seems to have 'mysteriously' disappeared from the order. So it's showing an order total $3+ higher than what's been taken from the gift cards. I chatted with customer service 2 days ago to try and see why the rest wouldn't ship (I made sure not to point out the price difference) but I have yet to hear back.
I'm probably going to have to bite the bullet and forget about the promo code, aren't I?

No problems using the MC coupon (once without using a MC) at two stores today. Got Zatoichi and the Cassavettes sets.

Neither. I was just talking about the ability to use the 30% Mastercard coupon without actually using a Mastercard...

I realize that, but i read it to mean you used the coupon online with a gift card as long as a MC was on file.
My question was then was this a regular purchase, or a purchase during the Criterion sale.
I think I know the answer now, though.

Oh. Yes, you know the answer already. I was only responding to Shagrath's ability to pay with something other than a Mastercard. I have used the coupon on several Criterions in-store though. But online no workie.

Two questions for an in-store purchase: are there generic 20% coupons this weekend for members that will work on top of the 50% criterion sale? I didn't see any in the B&N coupon thread. Also, separately: if I have a bank card that is a mastercard, and I don't use my B&N membership for a purchase, will the 30% discount work on top of the 50% criterion sale?

Thanks. You are right. I was thinking that the generic would not be scanned and rejected like a regular members coupon was for me recently. But I think YMMV will apply to either generic or emailed/member coupon. I'm trying a different store tonight to see if it will stack for me there. Wish me luck. If that doesn't work, then I think the my stacking days are over at my local stores.
Update: Store would not even look at the coupon tonight, so at least in my area I can no longer stack a coupon on any discounted or sale items. All cashiers and managers appear to be newly trained to not force the coupons to work like they used to do. I guess I'll just buy less.

Worked great for me too. Got two similarly priced trilogies for that price yesterday.

I was able to use the MC 30% off coupon for an instore, ship to home Criterion purchase (this particular BN store does not have a video section) but did not get the additional 10% off membership discount. Does the extra 10% off for members not apply to ship to home purchases?

Used the 30% coupon four times yesterday. The only one that game me a little trouble was the unique one which beeped when entered. Luckily, the CSR somehow managed to force it through.
I don't have an MasterCard so I just bought one of thsoe $50 Mastercard Gift Cards at Walmart and used that one.
