One of the many things I found, while cleaning and reorganizing my home office for the past couple of weeks, was an unused $25 Borders gift card. These things used to be great up until a few months ago because they could be used to purchase items from Borders.com at Amazon.com prices when Borders used Amazon as their sales conduit.
I decided to purchase a couple of things through Borders.com because I had the gift card and a $5 coupon specifically for Borders.com (seen above). So, I tried to apply the coupon before applying my gift card. The problem is that when I did that Borders.com told me Better discount already applied and ignored the coupon code. Although Borders’ prices are higher than Amazon’s across the board, they do discount items below retail prices. Apparently, this coupon only applies to items that are sold at retail prices. In other words, it is essentially useless and worthless. So, I just used my gift card. Since Amazon offers better prices for every item I compared, this will be the first and last time I order from Borders.com.
They were better off being associated with Amazon for web sales, IMHO.
