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.

This was a great deal! 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.

I entered the code into my laptop today and it still works for me off each item. It no longer works on the computer I originally placed the order on so I guess it it once per computer/customer?

I did buy a pricey book that I really really wanted also. The code took 5 dollars off that book and I "bought" 4 other kids books that were regularly priced under $5, which all came up free ($23.96 in savings). I wanted to keep adding books since my son is such a Magic Tree House fan, but the site started getting buggy and I worried it wouldn't work anymore so I quit there. My book was enough to get free home shipping, so now I don't even need to take the bus up to the store. It just worked for me not 5 minutes ago.
