It is getting to the point were it is all the time.  Best Buy is the worst.  I went in there today and was told they do not take the $10.00 Alice In Wonderland coupon.  I have called the 1-800 number in the past and  asked about this and was told that they do.  I was able to use it in the end but I am sick and tired of this nonsense.  I may call the 1-800 today to let them no that Best Buy is in violation of their own policy.

I would give the 800 number a call and let them know the exact branch that you had the trouble with.

I have never had a problem using these coupons at Best Buy.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

I think in this case they are giving some people trouble because they have an exclusive slipcover on their version. Even though it's otherwise also basically the same as the 3-disc version, I'm guessing that's what the fuss is all about. I've read on Blu-ray.com that others also had that problem.

Yeah this is what it seems like. I had no problems using the $10 off to get the best buy exclusive version. But there are times when i have to get things double and triple checked, in order to just get things for the advertised price lol

I did have a problem with Toy Story and Toy Story 2 BD at Best Buy when they were released. The manager came over and took the coupons and called and verifyed them. He told me that they are not used to taking such high dollar coupons, but he did apologize. Tonight after work though I went to Wal-Mart to get my Alice in Wonderland BD and the cashier kind of looked at me funny, but she scanned it anyway.

If you have a Facebook account I would befriend Best Buy and post this issue on their page with the location as well. I had an issue one time and they took care of it for me.

While the Best Buy ecxusive is a problem that was not even the initial issue with this.  I was flat out told by this girl after she asked her manager by phone that they don't take internet coupons, which is utter crap because I have called the 1-800 number on this before.  Another cashaair who knows me as a regualr came over put it through, it did not scan and she immediatly over ran it.  My friend has had many problemms with them taking coupons.  In the future I am going in with the website in hand and my cell phone so I can call the silver members hotline on the spot.
