[Luke Warm] - Two new Best Buy coupons for software ($5) and DVDs ($2)

Two new Best Buy coupons, although they're not the "caliber" of the 10-percent and $10 Gift Card coupons, valid through 31 Jan and 30 Mar respectively....

Some of these coupons appear to be regional in nature. If you find that one of the coupons is not in your issue, please post what state/region the magazine was delivered to or purchased in.


Magazine List

  • *** $2 off any MGM DVD ***
    *** expires 31 Jan 2003 ***
    $3.50 - Family Fun (p. 123, Dec/Jan Holiday Issue)
    $6.99 - PC World (p. ???, Jan 2003 - unverified)

    *** $5 off any Nickelodeon software title by THQ ***
    *** expires 01 Feb 2003 ***
    $3.50 - Family Fun (p. 123, Dec/Jan Holiday Issue)


YMMV DISCLAIMER: Take note of the terms and conditions - both coupons explicitly state that you cannot use the coupons to repurchase, and both coupons are one-time use only. That means if you pricematch, you will most likely lose the value of the coupon doing the pricematch. In the two (2) instances where I have pricematched after-the-fact, one store did re-ring the 10-percent coupon after pricematch, the second adamantly refuse to give me 10-percent off the pricematched price and even showed me where it stated as such on a voided copy of the coupon at the Customer Service counter.

    $4.99 - GamePro (p. 49, Feb 2003)
The January 6th Newsweek has NEVER been verified, to the best of my knowledge. The issue available in my region Has the cover story titled "2003 Year of the Matrix". The very top of the cover page starts with the subtitle "The WHO'S NEXT issue", followed by the subtitle "SPECIAL DOUBLE EDITION", dated 30 Dec/06 Jan issue. The coupon HAS NOT been in this issue that I've looked through in several different states. If the "06 January" issue is "real", it must be available only on a regional basis.

YMMV DISCLAIMER:

$10 Gift Card details: You will be charged $10.00 for the $10 Gift Card, and $10.00 is automatically deducted from one qualifying item in the order. This can be a problem if you plan on attempting to pricematch! READ THE FINE PRINT !

10-percent off details: When you're checking-out, pay attention to what "rings-up" on the register - the 10-percent off coupon will show on their register screen as "Holiday Package ". While the coupon is coded into their computer system and will show on your receipt as "Holiday Magazine Coupon" - if the CSR doesn't know what they're doing, the coupon will come-up as a $10.00 off coupon - not 10-percent off. But then again, if the item is less than $100 - $10.00 off is better - so pray for incompetence if this is the only coupon you have!
 
Hey unclebud - could you post the following information so I can edit the initial post?

- magazine newsstand price (is it $6.99 or $5.99 - front cover near UPC);
- page number the coupon is on (p. xxx);
- date of the magazine issue (Jan ?? 2003).

Thanks!

bump^^ for upcoming Best Buy Preferred Customer weekend....

and to add Computer Shopper to the second message (Best Buy $10 gift card)
 
The $10 GC coupon is in the Feb 2003 Computer Shopper -- but it's not in the main magazine. It's in the Ultimate Hardware Guide supplement that came with this issue. It's on page 21.
