Some people are getting their NCs for free since in December Groupon was giving away Groupon credit for free. You can use those to buy B&N GCs today.

I just got all my 14 GCs today. You cannot use ShopDiscover and then get more CB from another site because you either have to link from one or the other (they cancel each other out...unlike the defunct Bing). I read that someone got $400 from the crazy Groupon credit frenzy last December which is hard for me to believe (probably have multiple accounts). I only got $20 from all that because I was a little late when I found out and most of the codes were dead by then.
Anyway, if you try to buy the Nook online to get the 4.5% CB, you can only use 3 GC so you will be left with more GC that you intended to use to cover the entire price of the Nook Color. The phone order is YMMV for now. Best bet is in-store but do not present the email that Groupon sends you which has the 1/person & 1/trans. restriction. Instead, write down the codes and PINs or use a barcode generator so the cashier cannot tell that they came from Groupon. If they ask where you got them, tell them that they were gifts that you collected from friends and family.
