I received an email from Barnes & Noble today saying that effective with renewal of my card they will offer $25 discounts on both the Nook Color and Nook Tablet and $10 on other Nook models. I was disappointed when I bought my NC and had to pay full price (they typically give discounts of at least 10% with the cards).
Nook books don't get any discount and I probably won't renew the card. I haven't bought any paper books for over a year.
One discount per year

Note: one discount per year.
Seems kind of useless after you've already purchased the Nook! You pay the $25.00 for the membership then they give it back to you in a discount?
I let my membership lapse as well, no discount on E-books so there is no point in giving B&N another $25.00!
They've been doing this promo for months! Now if only their membership had benefits....
I look at continuing the card this way...
Over the course of a year, I will spend enough time in my local B&N's to read at least 7-10 books "in store". This is my way of offsetting no discount and/or coupons for my e-book purchases.
While I am there performing the above function I purchase enough frappacinos and soup at a discount over the year to offset the annual $25.00 renewal when combined with the increasingly rare actual book, magazine, or DVD purchase.
The community college where I teach online has a B&N owned/operated bookstore that used to give the faculty a free card each year but that stopped about two-three years before the Nook came into existence.

You get a B&N Gift Card number. I would assume you can use the gift card for anything. However, if you apply it to your account for ebooks it'll be for ebooks online. I learned that the hard way but you should be able to use the code at checkout on anything.
I just received an email from Best Buy that the Nook Color I ordered is now available for pickup. I had ordered it last week when they were offering a free case with the purchase of the device. I believe the deal is still valid for this week (2/6-2/12), so I'd suggest taking advantage. I picked the easel-style one that is B&N branded. Really nice, considering it retails for $49.99.
Not sure why so many people have trouble locating these. They are available at my local best buys and well... if you walk into Barnes and Nobles... they have plenty. Is there a reason people aren't going to Barnes and Nobles brick and mortar?
You must have missed the article going around reporting that Nook Color's were being pulled off the shelves for 2 weeks...
I heard they are doing it just for inventory. Best buy close to my house also pulled the inventory but I went to Barnes & Noble and they had plenty.
$25 Gift Card with $250 Purchase
They also have a coupon to get a $25 gift card with purchase of $250 good until the 12th. Coupon is attached and links below. I just used it tonight. You have to choose between the $25 gift card or the free case you can't get both.

Hhmmm, online it's listed as backordered... Any news about that???
I just wanted to get an idea of how the majority of people aquired their nook color. Online, in a B&N store, Best buy, craigslist? I'm shopping around and looking for the best place to get one under MSRP, or at least tax-free. Any suggestions, or websites I should keep an eye out on for possible sales?
I got mine from craigslist for $225.00 total. it was brand new (still in plastic). the best part about CL is no sale tax, saving me $30.00. I met the guy at the mall give him 1/2 of the money and told him if the nook boots up fine I'll give him rest of the money. so far I'm vary happy with my NC running CM7
best buy simply so i could also get a micro sd with an adapter at the same store.
I bought mine on ebay new, but no box. 207 shipped.
Ebay here as well. B&N provided a coupon for $50 off. It was $208. Pretty sure it's the first time I've paid a tax for an internet purchase.
Ebay With the Bn coupon $206 with tax
ebay, new, from b&n $200
Ebay during B&N's sale.
Ebay as they don't sell them in Australia. I just missed out on the coupon so paid too much.
i got mine from b&n cuz they have a store about 100 feet from my apartment...

Had to get mine from the farther-away Walmart, as B&N, BB, and the closer Walmart were all out of stock. Tempted to get it online, but wanted to try local first.
got mine at a brick and mortar B&N store, it was an impulse buy
Bought mine at the nearest B&N store. Nice folks, but "The Nook Guy" wasn't there.
Store. There's a big stink on b&n forums towards people who got it on hsn. Kinda funny.
Best buy while my visit to USofA.
With CM7 NC makes the best price-performance for me.. and it's not sold in Europe.. they'd outsell ipad in Europe if B&N saw the oppurtunity
Best Buy, mostly on a whim, knowing that there was cme community behind it. Of course, things have really changed now, haven't they.....
Craigslist for $150. Couldn't resist such a low price. It was practically brand new.
I bought it because I knew there is an active XDA community supporting it. Even at $250 the nook is a pretty nice bargain given the hardware.

I got mine at Best Buy with some other stuff so I could get it with no interest for 18 months deal.
I bought mine at a B&N store. It was a week before the Groupon coupon deal but at least I got a 5% rebate by using a B&N Mastercard.
Chromecast is on sale for $30 USD after $5 rebate from Tiger Direct.
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8684836&CatId=4678
Ends 08/15/2014. See Terms.Restrictions Apply.NOTICE: Limit (1) ONE rebate per person, billing address, company, or household
Ok, it is $5 off and free shipping, but Tiger Direct mail-in rebates have such a terrible reputation that I'm not sure I'd want the hassle for the sake of $5. The Chromecast was on sale for $29 last Christmas. By the time you get your rebate some time next year I'm sure you'll have long since seen cheaper offers.
Best Buy has a Chromecast deal on until Saturday August 16th. Buy two Chromecasts and get $15 off. Shipping is free or you can arrange store pick up. That is $55 total + tax or $27.50 per Chromecast and no rebate hassles.
also includes: Free Google Play Music All Access Trial with Chromecast
Buy Chromecast and enjoy unlimited music from All Access — the unlimited music service from Google Play — free for 90 days ($9.99 per month thereafter).
To redeem, set up your Chromecast and then visit chromecast.com/offers by September 30, 2014.
Offer not available to previous or existing All Access subscribers. See chromecast.com/offers for terms and conditions.

ok thank you very much :good:
Wait a sec, that's not quite true, unless I read this wrong. I signed up for a prime trial, bought the r1, then told it not to continue my trial, no purchases for prime at all.
I'm a "shared" Prime member, and I got the $59 price for the 2gb/16gb model. But that was on Prime day, so maybe that's not available any more to non-paid Prime members?
No, people who share a prime account are not eligible to buy this phone at the prime price.
Oh, and if you don't sign up for prime at the end of your trial, you will be charged the price difference - the amount that you saved.

You did make a prime purchase - the phone! A prime purchase is anything you bought from amazon that got either prime shipping or prime pricing.
I ordered mine about a week ago and was having the same issue with the price increasing at check out. The workaround that I used was going to the bottom of Amazon's R1 HD page and ordering the phone using Amazon's frequently bought together (phone + case) items and then deleting the case in the shopping cart. I was able to checkout with the Prime price that way and I am on the free Prime trial.
Let us know if that works for you
So just to clear things up, by doing this the final checkout price was $ 60? Not 110 + a $ 50 gift card? Im not from the us, so I don't want to stick to a subscription I won't use
Yes, I just rechecked and it still comes through at $59.99 with the trial Amazon Prime membership when you add both phone and case through Amazon's frequently bought together link but removing the case when you check out.
Can confirm that the case option works when on a mobile device.

Does that mean that if I convert to a paid prime member that the gift card will go on top of the $60 price, making it $10?

Doubt it -- either you're getting $50 instant prime discount upfront or you qualify for $50 GC later if paying full price
Just bought it using the "frequently purchased together" method for $60 with a prime free trial (student one for 6mo). I mean... it's not like they can come back and charge me the extra... right?

Read the fine print, I went ahead and bought one using a friends paid membership. Amazon will charge all of you who bought with the free trial of primethe price diffference sooner or later.....
My previous Amazon Fire phone bit the dust, I have had so many customer support and tech requests on that phone, I wonder if I could convince them to sell me another 16/2 at $60?? They pride themselves on customer service (hint of sarcasm) but I wonder if it's worth a try
If you don't keep paid amazon prime for at least 3 months, amazon will either take back or charge you the $50 discount that you got on the phone. It's right there in the prime agreement - read the fine print.
A lot of people who signed up for the prime trial just to buy the phone and then cancelled are going to get a surprise! And buying the phone counts as a prime purchase, so you did use your prime benefits. It's not like amazon hadn't anticipated situations like this.
