20% off 3 DVDs coupon @ Best Buy B&M stores

[KSC2-303]

I found this deal at DVDtalk, but it's so good, it needs to be shared here.

I waited to post it until I used it, which I did today.

BB is offering a book full of coupons with the purchase of Madden 2005. One of those coupons is 20% off up to 3 DVDs. Some people reported that their BBs have these coupon books all over the store, so they simply took a coupon out of the book instead of buying the game to get it. My store, however, had locations for them near the Madden games themself saying "Free coupon book with Madden 2005, see an associate for details". From my understanding, some BBs are pulling them off the shelves because people just walk up, take out a coupon, and leave it.

Mall of Georgia BB is the store I went to, but it seems to differ from each store.

So anyway, check out the game section, and if they don't have it/have that sign, check the employee areas with computers. I was searching for Brazil CC on a kiosk and saw one coupon book tucked away, so I took it for that coupon.

Anyway, the coupon is supposed to be 20% off 3 DVDs, but they can't be on sale or some other offer like that. When I ripped out the coupon, I accidentally ripped the barcode in half. So I went to check out with my 3 DVDs, and she had to take off the 20% manually. This might have been better for me since the computer might automatically stop her she does it for a sale item.

However, MAKE SURE THEY TAKE OFF 20% OFF EACH DVD. If I wasn't paying attention, I'd have saved 2 bucks instead of $12.

The coupon is a white and black book. All in all, here is how it broke down for me:

Invader Zim Vol 2 = $15.99 - coupon = 12.79
Being John Malkovich = 10.99 - coupon = 8.79
Futurama Vol. 4 = 32.99 - coupon = 26.39

As you can see, you have absolutely nothing to lose trying this out. Well, besides losing 20% of the cost of your 3 DVDs!

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for the heads up about the coupon booklet. I went to my local BB yesterday after work in search of the coupon booklet. You are right, they are just laying around on the shelves. Well it looked lonely so I decided to take it home. It is a great coupon book but what is weird is pretty much every coupon expires on 12/31/04 EXCEPT the 20% off of the three DVD's...that one expired on 3/6/04. However, when I looked at other sites....people say that they are still able to use it. I am going to try and use the coupon next week (when I get paid!) and see what happens.....

Well, BB has a reputation for using the wrong exp. dates on some coupons. I mean, Hell, Madden 2005 was still being MADE in March!

They should be good until the end of 2004, but I wouldn't count on it. Right now, all employees know about them, however, in 3 months, people might forget, see the exp. date, and say "tough luck".
