Been a member from time to time over the years. I decline automatic renewal (& make sure the clerk unchecks that option!].
The various exclusions drive 1 batty (e.g. at B&N College Bookstores copy paper is excluded)!
When the Nook Color came out they were offering regular free treats to Nook owners at the Coffee Shop...but that seemed to stop about 8 months ago. For years B&N has promised monthly deals (via email & or snail mail) but my last year of membership (ending in July) saw none whatsoever though I complained to the 800# & online.
Will I finally renew my membership?
Last time I renewed figured that if I went to a B&N coffee shop weekly the discount would pay for the year's membership
Alas my nearest (huge) B&N closed back in January (Lincoln Ctr in NYC).
Then I found it easiest to go to (now closed) Borders in the Time_Warner Mall.
It's just not as easy to go by the remaining NYC B&N locations & since I'm doing all of my reading on my Nook (mostly library books) the incentive to go out of my way is pretty nuch gone. There is a B&N College Book store across the street but it's not at all comfy & lacks a cafe & community space. I do miss wandering amidst the hubbub of a large bookstore!
The fact that ebooks are excluded certainly makes me think twice. I have no other reason to buy at B&N now.
I guess I'd take the free membersip if I buy Nook Tablet (thinking about it) but otherwise no.
