The top offer for Books-A-Million on this page is the $5 off your next order of $25 voucher shown at the top of the page. It is best for small baskets that reach $25 and for quick single book buys where a fixed $5 saving is more useful than a percentage. If you want larger percentage discounts, the site sales (up to 60% off selected books and multiple 40 to 50% off deals) will beat the code on bigger purchases.
If your cart is $25 to $33: use the $5 off voucher above. The voucher needs a promo code and applies once your order is $25 or more, so on a $30 order for example you pay $25 after the $5 off, a $5 saving. If the item is a sale product and the up to 15% code applies to it, 15% of $30 is $4.50, which is less than the $5 voucher, so the $5 voucher is better for a $30 sale item that otherwise qualifies.
If your cart is about $34 to $100 and contains sale items eligible for 15% off: use the up to 15% off code on eligible sale products. On a $100 sale order, 15% off takes $15 off, leaving you $85, which saves more than the $5 voucher. Note the 15% code states it is valid on sale items only, so it will not apply to all products.
If you are buying bestsellers, selected titles or items in a site sale: the site sales are the best bet. For example, items in the 40% off bestsellers or the 50% off Book Lover sale will save far more than a $5 coupon on larger spends. If you find a selection marked up to 60% off, that will usually be the biggest saving across a wide basket of selected books.
If you are shopping manga or specific author sales: use the sale that matches the category. There are dedicated 20% off all manga offers and 25% off selected Sarah J. Maas books; those apply to the specified products and can beat the $5 voucher when the full price is high enough.
If shipping is the issue: free shipping every day is available through Millionaires Club membership, so if shipping costs would wipe out a small coupon saving, consider membership for frequent orders.

When you choose, compare the final totals: for the same basket take the option that leaves the lower price. There is no sitewide rule here that lets you combine the $5 voucher with sale discounts, so assume only one of these offers applies unless the product page or checkout says otherwise.
