40% off - http://www.bordersmedia.com/coup/40test20100211.html, exp 11/04
- Effectively 46% off with a personal shopping day or Rewards Plus.
- Effectively 51% off with a personal shopping day AND Rewards Plus.


33% off - http://www.bordersmedia.com/coup/33mainsa20100211.html, exp 11/04
- Effectively 39% off with a personal shopping day or a Rewards Plus account.
- Effectively 45% off with a personal shopping day AND a Rewards Plus account.


Coupons do not combine, but you can redeem both by making two purchases and using the 40% on the first and the 33% on the other.

(Man, at this rate, I'm going to have to change my name to Borders [bot] or something! ;))

I just got an email today from Borders stating that if you sign up for the rewards plus program you get a free $10.00 to spend 12/26/10 to 1/1/11. So that is getting a 1 year membership for half price. Pretty good deal.

Borders are now offering a bonus $20 coupon for every $100-worth of gift cards bought in-store (B&M) between now and Nov 15, with some fine-print:-
  • coupons have to be redeemed between 12/26 and 12/31
  • only ONE coupon can be used per person per day
No mention of whether those coupons will stack with the 33% and 40% coupons that have been flying around or the Rewards Plus 10% bonus (someone want to ask a store clerk?), but that's still a potential $120-worth of free LEGO if you're willing to brave the post-Christmas mob scene and spend some cash up front.

There's a similar incentive for borders.com gift cards ($10 for every $50-worth) between now and Nov 13, and while Borders do NOT offer LEGO sets online, you can still find things like the SW Visual Dictionary and Brickmaster books.

This is a different 40% coupon than the one smilyremhof posted above, good for "Any One Item" (vs "Any One Kids' Toy or Game").

As with the previous 33% and 40% coupons, this one does not combine, but you can redeemed all three coupons that expire 11/08 by making three separate purchases, and using one coupon on each.

they stack like any other gift cards. the only issue is the small window to use it for the b&m version. get the online version which has no expiry. at least based on my previous experience. not sure if they updated the online to also have the small window. stacking the gift card + 40%, and you can get close to 38-46% d/c to msrp.

Borders could be completely out of toys that week, just after Christmas. Also - even though they often have 40% coupons, they might not have one during that particular week. So, with their higher prices, this could work out to a 10% discount, at best.

I completely missed that the online version was for a gift card and not a coupon, but am still wary of stacking where the in-store promo definitely says "coupon" with the ominous "certain exclusions apply" caveat underneath.

Anyway, promo attached for everyone to scrutinize at their leisure.

Seeing all these coupons make me a little sad since I'm not in a position to use them, but hopefully the rest of you have been able to score some great deals! :D

Borders are also offering a revised version of their gift card bonus promo until Nov 30:-
Same small print for the in-store promo as before (limited window of use for the coupon), so the online promo is probably the better way to go.

Has anyone tried to take advantage of Borders "Low Price Guarantee"? If so, how did you show another store's price? And, of course, did the coupon stack with the "Guarantee"? ;)

Yes, you read right: 50% off today only.

While Borders rival TRU for markup on LEGO, this means the Hogwarts Express (to pick an example set from one of the other topics) can be picked up for $47.50, for $42.75 if you have a Personal Shopping Day or are a Plus member, and for a lowly $38.47 if you have a Personal Shopping Day AND are a Plus member.

(All prices plus tax.)

So... who's got a couple of bucks to lend to old Uncle Unity?

[Wimpy] I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a LEGO set today... [/Wimpy] ;)
