It still works for $5 off one book unless it is on a better sale. This has been an awesome link, thanks for the tip. The code no longer works for more than one book.

It is only supposed to take $5 off your order. It had a hiccup for a bit but is now fixed and working properly. So long as you order something for $5 or under and request to have it delivered to your store, you should be able to get it for free! Please see the original post for details on this coupon.

And I was able to get 6 books for my son for only .99 cents it was great but unfortunately it was a fluke and Borders caught on. I tried it again today with a couple more classic books that I really wanted for me and the code now only gives $5 or less depending on your order off of the entire order total. I guess we were lucky to have at least gotten some of a deal. This is my first post so let me just say I love your website- I just recently found it online!

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 17:40:35 +0000 http://moneysavingmom.net/2008/07/borders-55-coup.html#comment-282841 Wow!This is such a great deal! I haven't shopped much at Borders, but I just recently got their (FREE) rewards card - got a 20% off coupon for that, AND now this. I think it's great, and just these two experiences will definately cause me to consider Borders now for my book needs, so I think this promo they have done it actually a great marketing tool.I just placed my order, and when I entered all my card info and hit the final submit button, I got the error, but after reading everyones tips here - I didn't do anything but check my bank account and saw my $1.99 ( for 9 books!) was charged, so I am going to sit tight and wait for a confirmation email from Borders.My son LOVES Magic Tree House and Henry and Mudge books, so I grabbed some of those, and one book for 6.99, making my 35+ order only $1.99!And I am a Borders fan now for sure.... Wow!

I ordered $84 in books, cds, and dvds and it will only cost me $12 in the end.I'm Pacific Time so waiting until the evening helped a lot! Also once I had the order placed it refused my billing address, no matter what address I put in. So I left the browser open overnight, and in the morning hit send. Went right through.I'm very excited as many of the devotional and inspirational books are far less than $5 so I was able to stock up on some secret sister gifts. I was also able to buy some christian baby books to use for baby showers. It took me almost 10 hours to get through, but it worked.

I just got an email saying they had shipped 2 books to my store and that my order total was $0. Not sure if they cancelled the rest or not? I may call customer service later to find out.
