Mastercard (not B&N!) gives you a 5% cashback because you shopped at B&N.
B&N is not discounting the agency books. The agency publishers can do nothing about casbacks from a credit card company.

This is correct. B&N doesn't issue the cards, they just allow their name to be put on them. The bank that issued them is giving the cash back. My American Express does this (and always has, since I bought my first nook). I'm not sure B&N is even aware of it.
