5 for 25.00 PRP coupon

[Damien Oujia]

I don't know if this is the right forum to post this in...I was looking for a general store deals forum, but this appears to be my best option...

A customer came into to my store a couple weeks ago with these coupons for 5/$25.00 PRPs and I expected the coupon to work exactly like the in store special...on the $14.99 and under DVDs only. She picked up all the PRP Disney movies priced at $39.99 and brought them up to the register, and I could not believe it when the coupon took it off.

She left the remaining coupons behind for us to use (she had a sheet of them out of some Sunday flyer of some sort...there was also a coupon for a $4.95 Rewards card, but clearly the PRP sale was the better coupon.)

So a friend of mine and I picked up games on it...and it WORKED. It shows up in the computer as a coupon for both PRP and PPG.

This is the best coupon, and I assure you all that this code is valid. I THINK it was supposed to be for certain franchise stores, but I used it at a corporate store with no problems.

It's worth a shot at the very least, guys. I hope it works for you like it did for me!

Yea and 1/2 the time those coupons end up getting you busted.

Happened out here a year ago, someone got ahold of some franchise coupons. Some emps used them, etc etc, yada,yada, Term Term, and that was about it.

[Antithesys]

"Blockbuster Ing", eh.

You'd have to be a special breed of retarded to accept a coupon that looked like that.

[CarnorJax27069]

Now that is the funniest coupon I have saw in awhile. Not saying it isn't valid, but since none of us have ever saw it... I am betting it isn't! If it came through my line I don't think I'd accept it. I would hold the title for the customer until I could get it verified... But that's just me ;o)

[zooworker]

Notice fine print , at participating Blockbusters...Not me unless corp makes me.

wonder if its a test market coupon......

[whotony]

i guess the coupon was fixed from the origional link.

someone on another forum says he saw the word period mis;elled and in a post here it was mentioned that inc. was spelled ing.

or are people just not reading the blurred words well.

[Antithesys]

He's faking it. It said "Blockbuster Ing" before, and he edited his post with a new image.

What I'm gonna go ahead and do is WORD this tomorrow morning. I suggest some other folks do the same, since they'd act with more urgency. All they have to do is run a search on which stores have used that coupon in the last month; I'm guessing it'll only be his, and perhaps others nearby that he's duped into going along with it. He'll probably be lucky to escape with just a termination.

I mean, really, it's one level of stupidity to commit coupon fraud, and it's a whole other level to brag it about it online.

[Antithesys]

Hooray for Firefox caches. The dingbat changed the coupon, but he didn't overwrite the original file.

Since he'll certainly edit or delete it now, I've uploaded it to my own server

and here's the new version, in case he finds something wrong with that one too

Really, it's more of an insult to the rest of us that BB hires people this blatantly incompetent.

Good call, I did copy and save the original to my computer to show my DL tomorrow.

I copied this too..............

[BBVcasualposter]

Well if corporate really surfs the boards like some say, they are all over this already.

[Ziggyj]

Anyone would be stupid to take that coupon in the first place. Even reading it, it does't sound like a BBV coupon. Good detective work Antithesys you get an A++:cool:

[Youdontknowme]

The coupon is from a test market in Kansas somewhere. Corporate knows about it and I think they changed the expiration date in the computer so that if you scan it now, it'll say it's expired (as of 10/15). They should be sending out e-mails and/or voicemails to alert everyone as well.

Quoted because he'll probably delete it later (but without the image which was already posted above).

A quick Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&q=blockbuster+5+for+25++coupon&btnG=Search) yielded two relevant results near the top: [1] (http://www.usedshoe.com/2007/10/16/blockbuster-coupon-5-used-gamesdvds-for-25/) [2] (http://www.hdtvarcade.com/hdtvforum/index.php?showtopic=11988)
Both of them include the "Ing" version of the coupon, and the second one actually uses the same URL of the image as the OP used in his original post.

I don't know if HDTVadmin (of the second link) and "Damien Oujia" are the same person, but here's what HDTVadmin wrote on that thread in the second link:

Apparently it came from a flyer from a Kansas news paper. It was on the back of a flyer with Taco Bell coupons.
Which seems to match what Youdontknowme just said.

Another search for "Damien Oujia" (http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=%22Damien+Oujia%22&btnG=Google+Search) resulted in some links to forums likely used by the OP. On the TechSupportForum, nothing is very interesting. However, looking at his posts on the ToonZone forums from the Google search indicates that he lives in Kansas (he apparantly went to Comicon there). An interesting tidbit on his profile there (http://forums.toonzone.net/member.php?u=421) is his birthdate, if that is helpful at all in corp finding this person. I don't want to quote it here (does that violate some sort of privacy?), so take a look before he takes it out there.

I'm not discrediting Youdontknowme, but it took Blockbuster a while to get with the game on the entertainment night coupon that was going around. There doesn't seem to be that much information about this 5/$25 coupon, though, and the only information I see has been posted in the last day or so.

[Antithesys]

It's certainly a fact that the barcode itself works (or worked), and it may be a fact that the barcode was being used experimentally on coupons in Kansas or whatever. But since we have caught the OP editing the coupon, the coupon presented here is clearly fraudulent, regardless of the barcode's original purpose. As thickheaded as corporate can be, they certainly wouldn't distribute a coupon that essentially tells you to buy 5 $50 PPGs at a 90% discount.

[Antithesys]

Compass just sent out a warning about it. It uses the "Inc" version, sadly.

[zooworker]

Changed my mind.........

[BBVcasualposter]

As iino stated corp wouldnt need help finding him from web research. They can run coupon code and find exactly when and where it was used. Schedules and CCTV show whom.


edit: lol zoo just said roughly same thing, ha
