Borders Coupons

[paul secor]

Many thanks to Peter for posting the 30% coupon - used it to pick up the Boudou Saved from Drowning DVD on Criterion.

[jlhoots]

I used both coupons.

My wife saved $9 on a yoga mat - she says it's a good deal.

I bought 2 CDs.

Thanks.

How's about 30% off one item, no minimum purchase? I think you have to be a Borders Rewards member, but you never know.

Nice! Thanks, Big Al!

30% off one item with purchase of $10 or more

...through 9/24

The coupon says "discount on electronics and video games is 10%".

Didn't someone say that CDs were considered "electronic" items? I hope not.

I don't think so! Thanks for the coupon!

That was me. I've been hit with that "CDs being electronics" once or twice -- ususally on box sets. 99% of the time this type of coupon works on CDs.

If the music is in the genre of electronica, however, it does qualify as electronics — no discount.

I actually used the 30% coupon to purchase Tomasz Stanko's Lontano. An over-priced $17.99 became a reasonable $12.59. (Funny how math works that way.)

Another 30% off coupon

...with $10 purchase, through 10/4.

Nice to see these again.

That'd be a good one to use on the new Trane box!

Are people here really finding good deals at Border's even with the 30% off coupon? I wanted to take advantage but since the 30% is only off their retail price, I still found that everything I wanted could be had for (often significantly) less from various places on the internet even after shipping costs were added.

30% only gets Borders down to a reasonable level.

How they sell ANYTHING at full retail prices is beyond me.

[Big Al]

No kidding. Not only that, for the first time since the RVG program started, Borders hasn't gotten any of the last batch (Happenings, Demon's Dance, etc.)

I wouldn't say I've found great deals, but I have been using these coupons routinely on some SACD's at Borders, mostly Fantasy SACD's. In the past few days, I've picked up Pepper's Gettin' Together and Dolphy's Out There SACD's for about $14 each. The retail prices are about $18.99, so the 30% brings them down to what I consider a reasonable price for some good SACD's that you won't be able to buy just anywhere.

I've also picked up a few recent Blue Note RVG's for about $8 or so. Nothing earth-shattering, but the msrp is low enough on the Blue Note RVG's that when you want one and you see it at Borders, it's nice to know you can get it for a reasonable price so long as you have a coupon.

And of course, if you happen to find something at Borders that is OOP and you would snap up anyway, the coupon sweetens the deal.

But in general, even 30% off msrp is not enough to get me to buy something at Borders.

You found jazz SACDs at Borders????

Where is this Borders? I'd like to take a picture of it and show it to the Borders stores down here!

Yup, a decent amount of Jazz SACD's, and a few DVD-Audio's as well. This is in NYC--Columbus Circle. They have other SACD's that I already own, like Monk and Coltrane. Again, most if not all of the SACD's I have found there are Fantasy. I would be surprised though if they order more when I buy the ones they have. For all I know, they could have been sitting there for years.

I used the 30% coupon combined with my 'personal shopping day' tonight to get the following for $13.31 each, tax included:

Mingus At UCLA

Art Blakey Jazz Icons DVD

Thelonious Monk Jazz Icons DVD

I've been abusing the Borders' system for years. I already have like $15 in free points on my rewards card.

Still nothing matches those 50% off one CD coupons from a few years back. Remember when Hardbop bought about 100 during that sale

Another 30% off, good through 10/11/06

Keep 'em comin' fellas!

[bertrand]

I'll stay away this week-end!

As I posted above, the discount gets really good if you combine it with your personal shopping day. Since they don't seem to mind using several coupons at a time (you have to do separate transactions, but who cares), you can really bring the price down quite a bit.

Now if it could only be combined with a donation to organissimo...

Thanks for the coupon! I think I'm gonna spring for one of the Simpsons DVD box sets. I've fallen behind on those.
