There's a B&N right near me, so I figure they would appreciate foot traffic more, so I don't order from their site.

But when it's a new show, you never know! It might not last long enough to be worth it. <br /><br />Kristen M.: Free items are becoming more and more complicated to get. I tried to print a coupon once and it told me I had to download a program b/c their system didn't work with my printer! WHAT?! That's just silly. All the morning shows always encourage you to save $ by using coupons, but who has that kinda time for 50¢?<br /><br />LuAnn: Good to know that others don't do it. I figured most people already have info logged into the B&N site and I was the loner here. <br /><br />Amanda DaybyDay: And I bet shipping costs about the same as the original cost of the glasses, right? Sheesh. <br /><br />Bookfool: I've never read a movie script! But it sounds fun to do the compare/contrast you mentioned. <br /><br />thriftymomma: I was mostly just sort of surprised and shocked. I imagine that if you pick it up in the store, they don't require your credit card info, so why online? Does B&N really not have the capability to turn that function off? <br /><br />Kerry: I've never understood the cc for a reservation thing! I guess if it's super fancy and they're going to charge you something if you don't show, but in general it's just strange to have that info hanging out in a reservation book that sits out for the whole world to see!Lisa Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12596265958308911275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855558664780277483.post-59367217206650044502010-06-13T21:45:05.693-05:002010-06-13T21:45:05.693-05:00Nope!

It's dangerous!! Good move.<br /><br />I love reading scripts, too. Occasionally, I'll read a book and its movie script and compare them, although I haven't done that for several years. It's fun to see where changes have been made and theorize as to why they made those changes. Sometimes, it's really puzzling -- even when you see the movie.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855558664780277483.post-1269054258552903762010-06-11T13:32:18.115-05:002010-06-11T13:32:18.115-05:00Me either.

Doesn't seem right needing your credit card info for something free.<br /><br />It's kinda like the "free glasses" promo a website was offering last week. They were offering 500 pairs of free glasses, but then you had to pay shipping.<br /><br />How is that free? That's what I wanna know. I didn't get them. You can have your "free" glasses thank you very much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12615585233433171724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855558664780277483.post-72652448790181611432010-06-11T01:52:46.704-05:002010-06-11T01:52:46.704-05:00I would never give credit card information for som...I would never give credit card information for something that's free.

I will hit the point where they ask for the credit card info (or other personal info that's not relevant) and I just stop and leave the site.<br /><br />As for if I would pay for the scripts in general? Probably not. I have enough other things to read. I'll keep my tv watching and my reading separate for now. :)Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855558664780277483.post-9704068860606536402010-06-10T20:03:33.887-05:002010-06-10T20:03:33.887-05:00No way!

I understand when they ask for your credit card for a free trial offer, they need a way to charge you if you keep the item but not for something that is suppose to be totally free.Teddy Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145413222317511542noreply@blogger.com
