Using gift cards to purchase nook?

Been trying to find a definitive answer to this for a couple of days now. 

 

Can gift cards be used to purchase a nook?  I told my wife that all I want for Xmas are gift cards to B&N so that I can buy a nook.  Is this folly?

bump.

 

I would really like to know.  I have read conflicting reports on other message boards/news reports.

The best way to find out is to just add a nook to your cart and try it. I would assume that you would be able to use the gift cards in-store, but I'm not really in a position to confirm or deny that. I know for a fact you cannot use gift cards to purchase eBooks.

Silly me.  Why didn't I think of that?  Lol.  Oh well.

 

I did exactly that, and the online ordering allows up to 3 gift cards to be used, so I'm willing to bet that any number of gift cards could be used to purchase in store.

 

Thank you for your help!

According to Barnes & Noble, you can buy any of their merchandise with a gift card except the ebooks themselves. However, I look for the ebook policy to change since Amazon allows ebooks to be purchased with a gift card.

 

Sometimes I think Barnes & Noble just doesn't get it.

One way to get around the 3 card limit.  Take the cards to a store and exchange for one with a higher denomination.

 

I just did that with seven cards I had.

Just to clarify,

 

STARTING IN MID-DECEMBER, gift cards WILL be able to be used on eBooks.
