The deal isn't dead. I had to enable all cookies to have it added to my cart, otherwise I'd sign in on the $5 off page and it still wouldn't be added to my cart. I just kept clicking on different departments until the $5 graphic appeared.

No it's not dead.... Just use this link www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=pcmcat13100050038&type=category&h=387


Turn your Google BLOCK off...

It just worked for me.

Matrix 10 bucks. But... I didn't really care for the movie but it might of been it was so packed that I was not able to enjoy it anyway. I guess I wanted to go back and see it again but heck for 10 bucks I can see it as many times as I want.

I dunno if I'll even go see the third one. I'll just wait till it comes out on dvd and have the set I guess.


Thanks...that link did it for me!

How did you get another $5 off of the $14.99 sale price on top of the "signing in" discount? Hmmm, unless you had a credit/coupon available on an existing account, I think maybe you actually ordered "The Matrix REVISITED," that documentary thingy on the first movie. Oopsy?

Nope, I ordered the Matrix. Not the Matrix Reloaded. How could I have the Matrix Reloaded on VHS?

Yep, I just figured that out and was coming back to post the same, although as stated in my first post I originally thought you might have ordered The Matrix Revisited (not Reloaded) on DVD. Silly me.

It took around 10 tries to get it working. IT worked on IE 6.0 version but finally gave up on using sign-in option but rather create new account instead. Thanks for the url.

Man what some people will do for $5 bucks!

LoL! I am getting pretty hardcore, huh?

It reminded of the Logitech free wireless combo giveaway, with all that backspace enter, backspace enter fiasco. But, in both cases I persevered and got the deals.

It's kinda weird that after creating two accounts I could not get the $5 off even though I stayed logged in and tried to order. However, about 7 hours later I logged in on each individual account and added DVDs to each cart and got the $5 off even though I had been logged out for 7 hours.

Well if FINALLY worked for me, but alas not for the Matrix Reloaded DVD. I couldn't select the in-store pickup option for the DVD (as it will take FOREVER to get it with their free shipping. In the past, it usually takes two weeks for a movie/game to get to me.) So I removed the DVD from my cart and then added some cables I need to hook up my new Audigy 2 ZS card to my receiver. Still $5 off is NICE!! But I had to try like 4 or 5 times to get it to work, and if your having problems I don't think just clearing out your cookies will do it. HERES HOW TO REALLY GET IT TO WORK: 1. Close out all BestBuy web browsers 2. Go to the Search function. Browse to your Temporary Internet Files. In XP Usually C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files Then look for any 'bestbuy' files. About 4 temp BB files came up and I had to delete them one by one. 3. Clear out all cookies. 4. Then log back on and try again with THIS LINK. It finally worked for me after I removed the BB files in the Temp Internet folder. So much work/hassle for a 'measly' $5 BOTOH, when your buying a $15 DVD or such, it's pretty nice. The only downside now is that I lost about 15-20 cached username/password combos for different sites; O well! Thanks again guys, NICE FIND!!

Worked great for me!

Thanks!

It worked for me...but I had to jump through some hoops.

First, I tried it several times this morning by going through a Fatwallet thread link. I could not find the $5 off link. I did NOT fiddle around with my temp files, cache, whatever.

Now, tonight, I just tried it a few minutes ago, and got the $5 off link. I followed the link, created a new account, picked out a DVD, and went through the checkout process up until where it asks for Credit card information. At no time did it give me a $5 off coupon.

I start feeling pissed off at Best Buy...but I log out completely, then log back in. I notice my Shopping Cart total dropped $5 from $17 to $12. EUREKA! I go to my shopping cart and it says "$5 off"

Picked up "Voices of a Distant Star" DVD for $13 shipped.

Internet Explorer 6.0/Win98SE

Can't get it to work, but they have some pretty good 2 for 20 movies... anyone else have a simple way of getting it?
 

Worked for me again...I logged into my sister's account (she had gone into it yesterday when I showed her the deal but hadn't ordered anything) and the discount was still there. Another $15 gift card for $10.

I think if you order more than one of the $15 GC's to your address BestBuy might not send it...I say this because I ordered a couple to my college dorm and they haven't sent any shipment notices, while the single card ordered to my brother's address has already shipped...hmm...

So I suppose getting 100 GC's wasn't possible after all. I wonder if they're gonna send even one to my dorm now. Dammit.

However, I did get away with an in store pickup order for y tu mama tambien for $2.99 so it's not all a bust =)

If you still have the cookie, consider yourself lucky. Just tried 4 PCs with this, deal dead.
