CDNow over 50% off Preorder DVDs AGAIN!

[sphiatt]

Well I placed a huge order from www.cdnow.com the first week of Febuary when they did this before. Heres what it is for those who don't know:

1) go to www.discovercard.com and go to shopping centers, then click on the 15% off CDNow icon, follow the link to CDNow and you will get 15% cash back on your discover card about 6 weeks after your order is placed/shipped.

2) On the front page of CDNow.com you will see a "15% off all Music/Movie orders over $9.95" which is added to your cart automatically. Go to PreOrder DVDs and check out the selection. I ordered a bunch of stuff which is being held till 4/24/01. The following prices are stated as Retail -30% off Preorder - 15% CDNow Discount (actually 17.14%) - 15% Discover Card Discount:

Thanks for posting deal, it looks like I'm gonna have fun pre-ordering DVDs tonight!

Here's a great DVDTalk thread worth checking out.

On the front page of CDNow.com you will see a "15% off all Music/Movie orders over $9.95" which is added to your cart automatically.

I may need glasses but I don't see this on the front page, but it shouldn't matter since it's automatically added to my cart, right?

So if a DVD costs $18.89 it will appear as 15% less after I add it to my cart?

uh, how did you calculate crouching tiger hidden dragon to be less than $10? according to my math it's:

$27.96 MSRP

$19.57 30% off
(3.35) 17.14% CDnow
(2.43) 15% discover
-------------------
$13.79

am i missing something here?

I'd like to know that also, don't forget to save another 7% with eBates or Dash.
