Hey ladies,
I just received a coupon for $25 off of a $50 purchase at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It turns out that if someone signs up for a registry and puts your name as a referral, you get this coupon in the mail! (It lasts 4 months too!) So I would suggest hooking up with someone who has a registry so they get the coupon and then work forward when you do yours.
I double-checked with BBB online help and they said that the person has to put your name in when they register.
Score!
