Default Video Coupon Card

I think it was here that I read about this idea. It seemed like an interesting idea, and one that could be quickly implemented, so I went to my neighborhood video store (been years since doing that) to check out what they are doing in the way of promotion. The gal at the counter rattled off a number of offers, including 50% off all videos for new customers, for the first 30 days. Many of the videos were only $1. And many were 2 for 1. Being a new customer, my video cost me fifty cents.

With such low prices I can't see how a coupon card could work. By the way, the store is part of Family Video, a chain that is supposedly quite extensive.

Are most video stores this competitive (cheap)? Is this idea really one whose time has passed?
