Pseudoty Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) What was that? Dimensions?Yeah for the $10 GC but dimensions does not count towards Bricktober And you cant roll the GC it is one of those 6 hour delay ones Edited September 28, 2015 by Pseudoty 1 Quote
baschloinka Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I got Q about raise, what happend with tru gift cards, all gone...used to be tones but not anymore.I think there are three contributors...1. Decreased supply. I'm assuming a large supply comes from gifts, store return credit, etc. So possibly a glut in January that slowly tapers throughout the year. (I'd be interested if someone who has been purchasing Raise GC for multiple years could weigh in on this).2. Lower standards. With the prolonged TRU coupons (July/Aug/Sep/Oct) I have gone through all inventory of TRU gift cards purchased at 15%+ from eBay. Getting more than 15% against the bots at Raise is very difficult. Couple the demand for deals with the decreased supply, and I've been settling for a lower discount percent than my usual target.3. FAO fan splatter. I'm awaiting a refund of a $180 "TRU" gift card I purchased from Raise that turned out to be an FAO gift card that disappeared when FAO went under. I have no idea of the website business volume or turnover, but they have to be dealing with thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars in refunds on this. Raise could just be clamping down on TRU gift cards until this storm is over. Quote
micbelt Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Do any of the Tru coupons work on dimensions at all? Quote
exciter1 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Do any of the Tru coupons work on dimensions at all?No, video game stuff is almost always excluded from TRU coupons. The best you can do is the TRUTH, discount GC, & $10 GC stack. Quote
micbelt Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Figured I would check. I have gcu with bestbuy but wanted to see if I can make it a better deal with TRU. Quote
brickolodon Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Anybody tried to buy 4 bricktober sets to get 5th for free? Quote
Cbenioff Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Anybody tried to buy 4 bricktober sets to get 5th for free?It should work... not the best investment though. Buy one big item and use the coupons. Sell the set to further lower your cost on the big item... Quote
dcdfan Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Anybody tried to buy 4 bricktober sets to get 5th for free?Yes, last year was no problem. 1 Quote
jerryherb Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) this year not so much... i got turned down on even getting more than one with separate purchases by overzealous company kid and they are not for sale. perhaps after the week is up and they have some left. Edited September 29, 2015 by jerryherb Quote
KyrknKlay Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Question, does the 20% coupon found on Page 1 work (Thursday or any day) or would I have to wait for my own coupon to come in? Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 this year not so much... i got turned down on even getting more than one with separate purchases by overzealous company kid and they are not for sale. perhaps after the week is up and they have some left.Judging by 2014 sets, they will be available in abundance 2-4 weeks after the promo ends 1 Quote
Alpinemaps Posted September 29, 2015 Author Posted September 29, 2015 Judging by 2014 sets, they will be available in abundance 2-4 weeks after the promo endsAnd even up to a year later... Quote
sflv Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Every promo set that my TRU has seems to go "out of stock" when the prices are hot on eBay then come back in stock once prices have died down. When they were giving out Rocket Raccoon, I was told they had none, but then a manager came over and said he happened to find one left in the back. Same with the bricktober sets and most recent poly bag promo. Yet last week when I was there I still saw bricktober sets and Raccoons. It's almost like the employees are keeping them for themselves.

Kenxxx Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Last year you could get the Bricktober set with a $74.99 item before discounts. Just scan the items first and the set comes up as free. Then add your coupons. I did this dozens of times. With 25% off and TRUTH and selling the set for $20+, I was getting Batcaves at a cost of about $30. YMMV... just got back from my TRU and they said "No". I had an SW Advent Calendar and 7 new Mixels to get my total to $78. Tried the 20% off coupon, plus $5 off... she tried 2 times, the coupons worked, but the (scanned) Bricktober set would not clear as "free"... my total was about $90 with tax. She wasn't sure, but could only guess that the total had to be $75 after coupons. I had to walk away... told them I'd be back tomorrow Quote

mfortunek Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Also the computer negates the Bricktober promo if you use a price match on any of the items that you're using to get to your $75. Quote
ISO8T0 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 also negates my desire to get the bricktober set. Quote
Brickrunner Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 yes they do stack Can you stack the 20% sept/oct with the 15% oct and the $5 off $25? Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Can you stack the 20% sept/oct with the 15% oct and the $5 off $25? I volunteer you to test it tomorrow Quote
Cbenioff Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Everyone try $75 before coupons. Might be YMMV. The computers at my stores allow it. No override or anything fancy. Just make sure the bricktober comes up as $0 before scanning coupons. Quote

Just make sure the bricktober comes up as $0 before scanning coupons. Are you sure the price of bricktober set is $0 on the receipt ? IIRC their POS will not allow you to subtract bricktober set before applying coupon Quote
jaylay Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Can you stack the 20% sept/oct with the 15% oct and the $5 off $25?No they won't stack like that. Stack the 20% and the 5off25 with TRUTH. That's the best. 1 Quote
