Borders coupon not giving full effect?

jhempel24 · 12-14-2010, 02:39 AM

So I went to use my 33% discount coupon online on the 1st Myron Bolitar Mystery today.

The price was $6.29, and when I went to check out, I used the coupon and it applied a .94 cent discount??? What, that's like 15% not 33!

I'm start to really hate Borders. There are no restrictions on this book either, so something else must be up.

I've been having all kinds of problems with their store specifically, and getting only half-truths when calling customer service.

Was the coupon off the list price or an additional discount thing? Borders usually doesn't let you stack discounts on print books. I'm not sure about their policy on ebooks.

Ah, that's what it would be I guess, it was 7.99 regularly, so it would be an extra .94 cent roughly.
