Re: The Official Borders Coupon Thread volume 2 - Updated Weekly
I used it tonight--she asked me if there was any more to the coupon, when I said no, she just rang in the UPC and it worked no problem for 50% off the $80 Heroes S3 blu-ray. I was also buying a comic and she saw the $2 off periodical coupon in my pile of printouts and asked me if I wanted to use it--I wasn't even going to try since their coupons never apply to comics.

Damn...I was refused usage of this in both the Fort Lee NJ and Columbus Circle NY stores last week. In fact, the NY store clerk confiscated it!
I'm gonna reprint the new (fuller) version and try again before Wednesday...

Did they give any reason or were they just being jackasses?

The woman who confiscated it at the NY store said she wasn't aware of them ever having a 50% off coupon, plus it looked suspicious because it had no terms or expiration date.
I actually believed it was a fraud until I read the recent posts here of people using it. Now that I see it's full version, I'm gonna give another go.

Borders is getting pretty lame with their coupons. Basically a 20% off coupon if both items are priced the same and you're forced into buying two items.

Thanks, Randy! i was able to get 30 Rock - Season 3(SD) & Shaun of the Dead(BD) for ~$51. Hopefully i'll be able to use the $5 Holloween Candy Cash offer to make it an even sweeter deal. Pun intended.

I tried to use the coupon last night (9/29) at the Lexington Ave. NYC store.
Took a DVD box set to the register and presented the coupon. The cashier didn't flinch, but wasn't able to scan it or make the code work. Her feeling was that it might've been because, though the coupon said "through 09/30/09", the fine print read "9/21 - 9/28/09", so it may have been expired by 1 day.
She called the store manager over, He knew nothing about the coupon. I waited there about 20 minutes whle he made several calls to different bigwigs at corporate HQ.
Their reply to him (and his to me): They were aware that some stores were putting it through. It's a bogus coupon thay someone either e-mailed people or posted on a website (I said it was e-mailed to me). They never did, and probably never will have a 50% off coupon, and blocked the code from the corporate end.
In summary - anyone who got to use it got very lucky.

They blocked it Tuesday night? And yet I was able to use it Wednesday afternoon in NJ. Heh.
The cashier on Wednesday said many many people had used it and explained that it was for people who used to have the Borders Visa, so either that's the real story or all the users used the same line. I still have my Borders Visa in my wallet and was able to flash it. All I got for Borders taking away my credit card was a goodbye coupon for $5 off $5 (by mail, not e-mail), so this was very welcome. Thanks to the OP.
