If a cancellation is the fear, simply remove the freebie from your cart. I did this just to ensure that my orders would go through. Not ideal, but I don't want unnecessary cancellations on some pretty good prices.

Yeah, I probably should have done that. Oh well.

Barnes & Noble: 50% off (or is it 20%?) for select sets: https://m.barnesandnoble.com/b/20-off-select-lego/_/N-2ry7?page=1&offset=1&limit=20

The page header currently says 20% but the prices showing up are 50% off.  Not the greatest selection but could be some decent buys for folks.  Go get what you want before it hits SD and/or B&N fixes the pricing (if they really meant 20% off)!

Any East Coasters checked these prices in store yet?

BN tracker updated for me, shows prices matching online prices.

You guys have made short work of some of the better sets, but great post and deals. I haven't ordered on B&N yet this season, placed 3 orders - First with promo, 2nd removing promo, and 3rd again with promo - and 3rd Order insta cancelled, I didn't even get an email. Kudos to them on the creative hard gate I guess?

BTW - Deal has hit SD. So... Don't expect stuff to last long.

I'm trying this variant - I received promo with in-store purchase associated with my B&N membership.  Placed my first and only order online this AM including the promo, also associated with my membership.  Definitely not insta-cancelled. 

So pretty much confirmed if you got a Harry Potter set before you will not get another? Was about to place an order but I already got the hp set with my last online order.

i guess it would have paid to watch this thread before placing orders... i guess my other 6 orders will be cancelled...

I placed 4 orders.  First one with the HP promo, the other 3 without.  Didn't get insta cancel until the 4th order.  It's possible I had bought one of the sets in-store with membership before on that 4th order.  I've had BN customer service explain my cancellations as "exceeding item limit" when doing multiple orders of 5 on the same item (even if it was weeks later.)

You can order in the store and get the HP from the store and you have your order shipped to home.

Works for my last 50 HP.

I was planning on doing this after work today, but then realized that there would be no more of the good sets left by that time, so I placed a couple orders and removed the promo from the cart for some of the better sets. We'll see if they get canceled or not.

It's kind of insane that they cancel the entire order instead of just removing the promo from the order or not allowing it to add to the cart if you have already received one on that account/name.

Especially running a promo so ridiculously long.

All of my orders are getting canceled. Promo or not. I don't understand what the theory is behind canceling all orders that are placed online. 

Just saw this when on Barnes and Noble site...

You can go incognito to get around that.

Ugh. Looks like I have a stop after work today. lol.

I have two accounts. One for my business and one personal. I was able to place a single order on my business account this morning. It's still "processing". Every other order that I've placed on either my business or personal accounts has been canceled.

I'm also going to stop after work today and see what I can pick up in my local store and see what's left for them to order at those prices, but I'm not too hopeful... unless they keep canceling everybody's orders!

Seems to have cleared up.

Yeah I think that's just the SD effect.  Same thing happened last time BN cleared stuff out.

I got a buy one get one cookie, beat that!  Ha, actually my store's selection was decent we had schools canceled due to ice so there's few people on the road.  Picked up about $240 worth at retail plus HP promo for $115.

made 10 orders, first one went through, second one processing, the rest all cancelled even though I purposely only buy one item to NOT get the HP promo. What the heck? 

I don't even have any fraud alerts from my CC. Why isn't it processing?

Identified your orders as consistent with reseller orders. They've done this before.
