Borders had some wierd thing of having to have paper coupons (in this age) that they emailed to you (dumb). And they couldn't look up my account from my phone number, because they made a system that did not keep the area code???????
Just plain stupid.

You got rewards other than from borders with the Borders Rewards. I got gift certificate to restaurants before for not even half their normal cost (cool getting a $40 gift certificate for $15-$20), plus other things too. Plus if you didn't bring in the printed out coupon, they could look up what was available to your rewards account, having the coupon just made it faster.
Also, didn't you have to pay for the B&N rewards? Borders was free.
