Minimum purchase requirement
 
Seems to be all they offer now - unclear as to whether that applies to the shelf price of the to-be-discounted one allowed item or whether the order must have a minimum total? Either way :td:

Oddly enough, I presented the 15% coupon (from this thread) a couple of weeks ago, and the clerk replied, "Save that - I can give you 25% instead [off a $6.99 book]."

It's not "a husband" -- it's "The Husband" -- and you have to share him with thousands of others! Polygamy on a grand scale! ;)

Used the 30% off coupon twice today plus one 15% coupon. I explained what I was doing to the clerk and he had no objections. Used my Borders Reward card with all three purchases so I get credit for all of them.

Thanks for the heads up. ^

They're getting killed on this, but yeah, it works for now. Apparently nobody thought that people would ignore the terms and go back through the line again? I suspect there will be an attempt to lock this down better tied to the Rewards card, but I could be wrong. There's really no difference between running two transactions at once, going back in the line again or coming in once a day for several days in a row.

PS There is apparently a little promoted but still existing special on DVDs, buy 3 get 1 free, through June 25 or 26. The least expensive of the 4 is the free one. Not sure if it works on box sets (probably not) or has a limit on the free value.

It DOES work on box sets, and there is no limit to the value. So if you buy three $50 box sets, you can get a fourth $50 box set free. Crazy. Course, you have to compare this with what's likely to be cheaper DVD prices elsewhere....

There was some mention on another forum that this coupon may be a fake- use with care.

That one was no fake as far as the cashier at Waldenbooks in the Boca Raton Mall was concerned. $10 off a $24 book was quite a sweet deal. Thanks for the headsup, Tenacious.

New coupon T&C
 
"One coupon per customer during the valid period.

Anyone gotten stung at the cash register on this? They seem to have gotten their act together on these coupon offers - the clerks used to destroy the coupons after scanning them; now they are required to retain them. So, I'm wondering whether the system can see if your Borders account has already had a specific coupon applied [during the period]?

Can't confirm this 100% but it wouldn't surprise me. They seemed to start the program with little thought to this duplication, but I know they noticed it early on, so they've probably taken steps to curb it. They have a nasty mix of IT stuff there with some really old infrastructure (the system the employees have to use at the info desk to try look up books is hopelessly limited by today's standards), but the Rewards program is in the point-of-sale which seems to be adaptable to something like catching coupon duplicates on a given Rewards account.

Borders' I T dept in action
 
If you do not have your card with you, the clerk can access your account via your (linked) telephone number; no area code field so the person selects your name from the available list of possibilities. However ...

If your phone# is not linked, and you do not have your card with you to scan, but you do have your Borders# available. the clerk cannot access your account. I ran across this once, and was told there was no way to enter the actual number at time of purchase; you'd need to claim retroactive credit online yourself.

Has anyone been able to combine a Borders Rewards "Personal Shopping Day" (i.e. 10% discount - good all day, earned when $50.00 is spent in one month) with any coupons?

Points Scrounger Oct 3, 2006 1:31 am

Recent experience with multiple coupons
 
Two books: $14.95 and $9.95
Two coupons: 30% (from once-per-promo period from web) and 20% (once per day from register for prior purchase). Each clearly specified $10 minimum.
Clerk readily agreed both were okay as combined purchase was over $20.
System automatically deducted 30% off higher priced book, and 20% off lower priced one. ^

I didn't notice the $10 purchase requirement but the cashier took it for a $6.99 paperback...

Using the above link (http://www.visitborders.com/index.php?c=A) , or googling Borders Coupons, leads to the 30% off coupon (good on one item with purchase of $10.00 or more). But the beauty of this particular coupon, is that it's good for six days after printing it. Print out the coupon today and it's good until Nov. 24.

No problem combining with a 30% off $10 coupon in Madison, and this was a clerk that is always lecturing me about the "1 coupon per promotion period" limit.
According to rules the "Personal Shopping Day" 10% discount can only be
combined with the "buy 3 get 1 free" type discounts that don't need a coupon,
so they will eventually train the clerks to disallow coupons with the personal shopping day.
