I suspected that the coupon was a hoax, but I didn’t want to be a party pooper. What made me suspicious was the fact that you could conceivably print it as many times as you wanted and each print would be worth about $15.
MoneyNing 11.11.07 at 8:04 pm: Shadox: Actually it does say that the coupon will be linked to your membership so only one coupon per membership. At least the scammers thought of that part of it

I wonder if it was actually blockbuster throwing this scam out since it made us go into that store! I bet some people still ended up renting something!

In this internet days, Hoax is just about everywhere.

What we can do now is to stay smart but yet careful. Bad luck may come, but that shouldn’t stop us to continue doing the right things like what you do till now.

Blockbuster Employee 11.20.07 at 2:53 pm: If it was a Blockbuster employee that started, then all the rest of us want to clobber him/her. It’s really annoying having people come in and whine and complain that we won’t honor their coupon. And the grumpy ones leave everything they’ve grabbed on the counter and storm out.
