While I'm aware that I can use my B&N card online, the reality is many of the purchases I make are not bestsellers. My most recent purchase, a collection on suspenseful and occult short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle of Sherlock Holmes fame was purchased from the budget section. I certainly didn't walk into the store looking for 100 year old stories by Doyle (fantastic book by the way). That is the advantage of a real brick and mortar bookstore. Online retailing can never replicate that. By the way, I'm hoping with two new libraries opening in The Villages and Lady Lake over the next few months that I'll be buying fewer books.
