I recently wrote B&N customer service and asked the following questions:
Quote:
1. Does my membership discount apply to ebooks purchased at BN.com's ebook store?
2. Does my B&N Mastercard discount apply to ebook purchases?
3. If I purchase the Nook, will I get a member's discount on the purchase?
4. Does the member discount apply to accessories for the Nook?
5. Does the B&N Mastercard discount apply to to purchase of the Nook and/or Nook accessories?

A little while ago I received the following response:

Dear Customer,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding applying discounts to nook and eBooks.
Discounts, who doesn't like to use them, especially today? But sorry, nook is priced really fairly, we can't let additional discounts be applied and there's no member discount on accessories.
However, Barnes & Noble members can get FREE Expedited Air Shipping if they pre-order today! This is a limited time offer, so for more information about this promotion, please visit:

Because our eBook prices are deeply discounted from the Publisher?s List Price, the Barnes & Noble Member's discount is not available on the purchase of digital content (including but not limited to digital books, magazines, and periodicals); certain digital devices; downloadable Audiobooks in MP3 or any other format.
We hope you find this information helpful and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Sincerely,
Herman
Customer Service Representative

I still do not know if I would get the 5% discount one gets by using the B&N Mastercard but I assume I would because the only requirement is that the purchase be made at B&N.
