That's going to be a no. It will only accept the better of the two discounts. That would be sweet though, 25% off of an already 40% discounted item! I think BC would be loosing some money at that point.

Typically the coupons work like this: If item is on sale then you can't use the discount unless the item on sale's discount is less than the % of your coupon. i.e. Shirt 20% off on sale - your coupon would boost that sale to 25% of the original tag price, not the sale price. However, as Cyrus pointed out its not going to hurt you to try. Having said that I must warn you I have recently run across a bug in the CODE COUPON system and have lost out pretty big...can't go into details bout my situation until it has been resolved, sorry. So, I would hold onto that COUPON and save it for something you can definitely get your 25% off on. IMHO, I just wouldn't take the chance given my recent (last 24 hour) experience. Only asnwers I can get thus far from gear heads is that there's a bug in the system and so now Ive been passed off to marketing and the ultimate powers that b @ BC. Try your luck, though it may be a gamble or just wait and use it on something the discount would do you some good on. Good question tho and hope I was able to help shed some insight for you. If you're new to Backcountry I encourage you to utilize the live chat with a representative. The 'gearheads' are very helpful, friendly, and provide great customer satisfaction. Ive been dealing with BC a while now and have only just recently came across an issue they couldn't give me an answer for, but my case is a strange one. However...be warned that they have a lot of new reps these days that are still learning the ropes so you may want to talk to a couple of them for a lil checks and balance for your questions. But seriously, they truly are a delight to chat with about gear and for the most part are pretty informative and useful! They'er actually priceless to me!

most likley not, usually the coupon are the better of the two deals, but theres no harm in goin into the checkout area and entering the code just in case :-)
