1.) This is ATHD. Enough said.
2.) BB has hot deals every now and then, $5 more is just icing on the cake.
3.) Five bucks is five bucks - three gallons of gas, lunch, whatever. If you don't want to spend $5 on your next purchase at BB (presumably more w/ other coupons), then that's your prerogative. Five more dollars for me.

Enough off-topic conversation for now. Thanks, OP.

hmmm.. I thought the deal here was to purchase a $25 gift card for $20, but I noted in the Details quoted in the OP that:

Details: Limit one offer per customer. Offer is non-transferable. Order totals from $25 and up will receive a $5 discount. Qualifying amount excludes tax and Gift Card purchases.

so... I can't get a giftcard to use at the b&m to combine with other coupons and such:(
oh well...

it's not *supposed* to apply to gift cards.. the hot deal is that you can make it work on the gift cards. so everyone is ordering $25 gift cards, but paying $20

I remember last time I ordered towards the end they started canceling orders saying gift cards didn't apply.
Anyway too much risk here to be worth it =p but last time was sweet since they didn't mention anything about gift cards so they didn't actually cancel anything in the beginning but later on did...
Plus it was $5 off $5 last time heh...got a cheap CD and a cheap DVD heh.

And lots of $15 gift cards =) Lots of them. Hahahahaha I am the evil!

Sucks then... it did work for me. It was a bit of work, that site really is messy sometimes. I had a big run-around as well, logging in and out, having to type the address a few times, etc. But it was perhaps 5 minutes of work total and I did get it done.

I think what I did was - click on the link, then try to sign in. That didn't work, so I had to have a new password emailed to me. Got it right away, and tried again. Success getting to my cart, but no discount. Added a second gift card and went to the cart again. Now the $5 off showes up. Removed the second gift card, and the $5 off still showed up. Success! Well, except having to enter the address 3 times until it would finally go forward to the next page. Not sure if it's a crappy design for the site, or just too many of us hitting it at once.

I also just got an email saying it had been shipped this afternoon.

Thanks for the heads up!

I think tracer is right. They must have gotten swamped. It took me three times to get it to come out right.
