Deanfjr Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Do you find that the B&N membership is worth it, 10% off Lego but most coupons do not work on Lego from what I have been reading. Quote
MarleyMoose Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 It's worth it if you buy enough product ($250 worth) to cover the yearly fee of $25. Basically it covers sales tax and a bit extra. I was very happy to save 10% off a Slave 1 this past Christmas. Quote
Salimr Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 I just found out today my membership gave me 10% off lego. I thought it only worked for books. I saved $20 off a temple of airjitzu with it today 2 Quote

legogregors Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 I remember it as 10% off in store only. Has something changed? There was kid club where you could get an additional $20 if you spent so much. When it got more difficult to use coupons with architecture sets I cancelled my membership. I saw an epic dragon battle yesterday still marked at $119.95??? 1 Quote

It depends, e.g., on where you pay taxes and where not, how high your taxes are, what GCs you can get, and how all of that combined compares to offers of the competition. It was a good time as long as the coupons still worked on Lego, but now it went back to the main field along a lot of other stores. Quote

Coupons have not worked on "normal" Lego sets for quite some time, and in later 2015 the register system was seemingly programmed to reject them for the previously permitted Architecture line as well. Some reports point toward inconsistency on this in places, but without a known "friendly" cashier, you simply cannot depend on the coupon discount anymore. This fact has led to many of us shopping less at B&N, making the savings from the membership diminish significantly. In simple terms, it's what MarleyMoose said. If you plan to spend at least a couple hundred bucks and buy a book or two (or a dozen coffees), then it'll pay off. Otherwise, probably not. I have yet to get anything out of my Amazon Prime membership in 4 months, on a similar note. Quote
Bold-Arrow Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 membership plus gc ( for the brave enough) is a good deal still. 1 Quote
dcdfan Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Dear Barnes and Noble, You can keep sending those coupons all you like but since you no longer accept them for Architecture sets, they'll just keep getting deleted. While I do miss the discount, I do not miss your (obviously annoyed to be there) employees... A can't be soon enough ex-member 1 Quote
MarleyMoose Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) I just use them to expand my SW Kotobukiya ArtFX+ collection these days. The 10% off membership is nice to cover tax when you find a Lego exclusive on the shelves. Edited March 24, 2016 by MarleyMoose Quote
zskid00 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I have made a few bucks there on clearance POPs and some Star Wars Kotos. Sometimes they stock LEGO sets early and you can quick-flip them like the new Super Heroes and Star Wars sets that came out in December/January. Quote
HappyHawkeye Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I am annoyed about the coupons too, but for me this is the best place to find architecture sets that are near retirement or already retired. Between the 10% discount and discounted GCs I've been very happy with some of my finds there and have paid for my membership many times over. I will second the comments about their employees though....ugh Quote
Phil B Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 I was told by BN.com support today that the BN rewards membership 10% off only works in store, not online. Is this new? The lady said it wasn't just for LEGO but for books as well ..... Quote

Phil B Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Nope. It has been like that since the beginning Ok ... I was confused as I thought people were reporting getting an additional 10% off during the Mini Cooper and Kwik-E-Mart blowout a few months back. Quote
