Girls Night Out

the online promo "girls night out" is the fraud. they used a known
fraudulent coupon and sent it to you and probably hundreds of other
people. The coupon code that you posted is, in fact, the same coupon
code that has been passed around the internet for 8 months and more -
any Blockbuster employee has already memorized that code and will look
at the coupon right away and know its fake, in fact, they all know
that anyone that attempts to use that coupon is using a fake one since
the company does not give out the "blockbuster night" coupons anymore,
legit or not.

It is actually illegal to use a fraudulent coupon, and if you were to
try to fight Blockbuster to get them to honor the coupon, they will
just laugh at you since you are the fraud.

Geesh...this has been on www.snopes.com for well over two years now. I
guess its still getting passed around. Looks authetic though doesn't
it?

I have NEVER seen these passed out at Blockbuster. But I have seen
them in my emails off and on because there are still people out there
who believe you get something for nothing!!

I've never had a problem with Blockbuster. In fact, they always seem
to be GIVING me money for some reason. I always get money credited to
my account. When I try to give it back they tell me not to worry about
it, it's just the way the machine works. :)

Probably a scam. Print it out and take it to the manager of the store.

Was it a Blockbuster coupon? Probably not. Now stop your tantrum or
you will get a Time Out instead of a Girl's Night Out.

Have you ever heard the saying "There's no such thing as a free
lunch??" Well it applies to movie coupons too, Angela.

What an unreasonable, spoiled little brat you are to throw a tantrum
and call a company fraudulent because they wouldn't give you
freebies.

You should be ashamed of yourself for even writing this letter!

Dear Angela E.

You are a fraud. Stop trolling the internet for freebies.

Sincerely,

The Rest of the World

Dear Angela E.

They won't honor your coupon, no matter how much you complain and
whine and threaten. If it weren't fake, it still wouldn't be worth the
vindictive nature of your posts. Is popcorn and a bottle of soda worth
getting this upset over?

Hey, if it was an official Blockbuster coupon, just print out the
e-mail (which would have been from Blockbuster, I imagine) and bring
it in to the store, thus proving the coupon you have is actually a
real coupon and not one that someone simply forwarded to you.

:O

Blockbuster is one of the WORST movie places around. They are a
fraud, they have horrible customer service, and you can get better
deals if you do something like NetFlix.

BlockBuster is one of the

I also participated in an online promotion and received a coupon in my
email good for one free Blockbuster franchise location. When I took
the coupon to my local Blockbuster, they refused to honor it on the
grounds that it was "ridiculous." They're the ones who are ridiculous.


I want Blockbuster to hand over the keys to that store. I have a
coupon, dammit! A coupon FROM THE INTERNET!!!

Now she is going to seek legal council for this.

I worked for Blockbuster for about 5 years and I still frequent online
forums to hear funny stories about customers.

Anyways, I remember reading about 2 weeks ago that there was a fake
online coupon out there that was for the very same items you were
trying to obtain. Apparently someone out there is trying to scam
Blockbuster.

Im not saying this is what you were trying to do. But if this was a
fake coupon that you were trying to use, I dont think Blockbuster has
to honor it. I just wanted to give you the "real story" about this
situation.

I would say that this person received the same email I just received
yesterday. I received it from a girlfriend of mine as a forwarded
message. Basically, the email encouraged you to have an evening out
by coming in and using this coupon. The coupon was for everything the
OP outlines in her email. After checking on Snopes.com, sure enough
the coupon is a fake. Actually, the coupon itself was legit, but
someone thought it was funny to create this email and send out the
original coupon, thus negating it. I'm guessing that the OP already
knows this and is just trying to get Blockbuster to cave.

I find the statement about enjoying an evening out hilarious. What
does renting movies have to do with going out? Maybe the coupon
should state, "Enjoy an evening sitting on your ass doing nothing."
