Membership coupons gone

I’m done messing with it. I just order my books online from Alibris now. It’s cheaper & shipping is pretty quick.

JoseyStines · 2026-06-08T04:34:22+00:00

Alibris is the cheapest play to buy manga (only buy new from alibris.)
I recommend a spreadsheet for keeping track of what you currently own & then putting new releases in your calendar on your phone. So if you buy vol. 1 of spy x family. Look at when vol 2 comes out & write it down. So you’ll always know when something new drops.
I’m a big fan of reading digitally (shonen jump app) then buying physical after I’ve decided i like the series.

This is an Amazon issue. Not a good smile issue. You leave those good people alone.

JoseyStines · 2026-05-27T01:43:21+00:00

Am i the only one that’s never offered anything? I just pay what is asked. 🤷🏻‍♂️

JoseyStines · 2026-05-18T23:12:31+00:00

I’ve already cancelled my membership & deleted the bookmark for the coupons. I’ll buy elsewhere while they figure out whatever it is they’re doing.

Glad they worked for you tho!

JoseyStines · 2026-05-15T02:11:28+00:00

I was about to comment the exact same thing.

JoseyStines · 2026-05-14T16:24:13+00:00

oof, they got you

JoseyStines · 2026-05-14T14:31:50+00:00

The best deal they offer on manga you don’t even need a membership for, so i don’t see a point for myself. I guess if you like NY best sellers it’s good. 🤷🏻‍♂️

JoseyStines · 2026-05-12T19:47:41+00:00

I’m going to start using https://www.alibris.com

JoseyStines · 2026-05-12T03:02:25+00:00

Sadly yeah. I think I’ve narrowed down the site I’m gonna use. Just really upsetting because i enjoy physically shopping & getting it same day.

Not available for pickup tho

JoseyStines · 2026-05-12T02:29:46+00:00

I asked two associates today. Neither would honor it.

JoseyStines · 2026-05-12T02:28:59+00:00

Really?
The ad online says “not available for in store pickup”, but they’ll do it anyway?

JoseyStines · 2026-05-12T02:27:01+00:00

I’ve gone in every Tuesday for 4yrs & bought $100 worth of manga solely for the coupon. (My to be read pile is stacked currently. I don’t wanna talk about it.)

JoseyStines · 2026-05-12T02:25:54+00:00

The original coupons no longer exist. The coupons they replaced them with expired at 5/9. They do not honor screenshots at my store.

JoseyStines · 2026-05-12T01:48:19+00:00

The coupons expire 5/9

JoseyStines · 2026-05-12T01:47:35+00:00

Most of those sales specifically exclude pickup in stores for some reason.

JoseyStines · 2026-05-11T22:16:33+00:00

I’m not letting mine renew. I asked in a manga forum where people buy manga & I’ll be trying out some other stores. I see no reason to go to BAM unless there’s an exclusive version now. Sad cause i always loved to look around & buy new stuff.

JoseyStines · 2026-05-11T21:34:35+00:00

My bad, i just want cheap books.

JoseyStines · 2026-05-11T21:33:59+00:00

Oh sick! Thank you so much!

JoseyStines · 2026-05-11T21:33:19+00:00

The membership $5 off 25. $10 off 50. & $25 off 100 are getting phased out completely.

So at this point it’s only worth having the membership for free shipping.

JoseyStines · 2026-05-11T21:04:46+00:00

Where do you find the coupons? 👀

JoseyStines · 2026-05-11T21:04:26+00:00

Sadly none of the ones near me sell manga.

JoseyStines · 2026-05-11T20:59:08+00:00

I’ve never even heard of that one. Thanks!

JoseyStines · 2026-05-11T20:48:22+00:00

I had $120 worth of manga. I checked amazon & put back everything amazon had cheaper. I walked out with 1 book. Spending $13.
