Well I finally got my response. Here it is:

Dear Customer,
Thank you for inquiring about nook, the world's most advanced eReader!
We value our Members, however, we believe nook is competitively priced and we are not offering any discounts on the purchase of the product.
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:

Note that it is exactly the same response -- word for word -- that I received as regards the B&N club membership and from the same rep (or a second rep named Lionel).
Time to complain to AAA.
