dsa_shea, all the information in the opening post is most often edited and up to date. 1KJ,1KX,1KK,1KG are the best codes to use with a credit card option at checkout.
If you read throughout the thread, you can see how the offer codes changed and evolved.
Always read the last page.. and the opening post for the newest codes.

Thanks for your help.

Just to let everyone know, I just tried to use QJ4 over the phone and it came up with 5@ .49 each, 1 at 14.95 and 3 more to buy. It also seems to have that ame offer online, so it might be best to use a different code.

Finally (!) got an enrollment through using C7L (6 for $0.49, free shipping, yadda yadda). Hadn't managed to get approved in 6 months but this finally did it.

Did U Use A Credit Card At Checkout with C7L?

whats the current best code/deal to fulfill existing open accounts with?

Did U Use A Credit Card At Checkout with C7L?

You can use a credit card with 1KKD. That's what I used and you have the best chance to get approved paying upfront for your enrollment. And I just tried C7L and you can use a credit card with this code as well. I hope this helps. I've sent like 4 applications thorugh in the last few days. I'm hoping to see some of them approved. It's not like they cant see my membership history and see that I've been a good customer.

Hi guys, what's the per DVD cost difference between the best codes with and without a PSN?

Thanks...I saw the FAQ but it didn't have the per cost avg for all the following codes:

"1KJ,1KX,1KK,1KG are the best online codes ... NO PSN required"
"Best codes w/ PSN 1LM, LMT, LMY, 38Y, IKJ "

Thanks...I saw the FAQ but it didn't have the per cost avg for all the following codes:

"1KJ,1KX,1KK,1KG are the best online codes ... NO PSN required"
"Best codes w/ PSN 1LM, LMT, LMY, 38Y, IKJ "

All those codes are the same average per DVD. I list as many as we come by so that Columbia House doesnt get 10,000 applications for the same code.

For the lowest possible average, you buy the 6 @ 49 cents each.. + get the first bonus ONLY for $9.95 ... then 2 fullfillment selections at regular price.

That makes sense. I was just curious if there was a significant difference between the PSN and non-PNS required codes...

Nope, thats it.. just the PSN requirement and credit card at checkout.

I just used C7L and it did not ask for a PSN, although i can provide one.

C7M seems to be a code that can be used online without a PSN.

Hey there,

I'm on the CH website trying to buy my 2 at $19.95 or better, but they have this "buy one at regular price, get one half off" and I DON'T WANT THAT. I just want to buy two and make them COUNT. I add one to my cart, and all is well. It shows as counting towards fulfillment. But I've added as many as THREE at $19.95 and the shopping cart keeps slashing half off and then they DON'T count towards fulfillment! What am I missing here?
Thanks!

If it's just the 2 that you want and don't care about any others then the best thing to do would be to just make 2 seperate orders - one right after the other. Either that or some sets count as 2 commitments, but can't think of any off of the top of my head.

You should see this below on the right of your cart:

You have 2 DVDs to buy at regular price before 200X-XX-XX .
Want to buy more DVDs from this order at regular price? Choose how many.

Select Choose how many and enter the number you want to change above. Use the pulldown to select how many sale prices you want to change to reg prices and select recalculate.

Awesome! Thanks! Worked like a charm. I got Apollo 13 and Silence of the Lambs for regular price to fullfill, and added Road House for $7 something to get free shipping on all 3.

NOOOOOOOOO! I thought it was the buy 2, get 2 free deal here when i came into the topic. :(

Got this one in the mail today: BZW. I'm not sure if it requires a PSN.

6 DVD's @ 49 cents w/ free shipping
Get 7th DVD (counts toward fulfillment) for $9.95 w/ free shipping
Get 8th DVD (does not count toward fulfillment) for $9.95 w/ free shipping.

Buy 3 more in the next 2 years, or 2 more if you opt for the 7th DVD.

BZW requires a PSN.. and I got BWJ yesterday, same deal.

I have used personal savings codes for my last two on-line applications. I submitted my orders but never received e-mails confirming my membership acceptance. Since these orders were submitted almost five weeks ago, should I assume that my memberships were denied (I called customer service but they were unable to help me)? Do you always get a timely e-mail when a membership has been accepted?

Thanks~

This may not be true this time. Some of us have recently had applications made a few months ago be accepted and turned in to memberships. Unfortunately for most of us we have already acquired the titles that were asked for in the original applications.

Remarkably, I just received acceptance on two applications I had sent in a week or so ago! However, I have already acquired a few of the titles I ordered elsewere. Is CH good about acceptings returns for alternate titles, and if so what is the procedure?

Thanks~While Columbia House is good about replacing DVDs when they make a mistake, it is not a good idea to make them replace DVDs just because you have changed your mind. CH breaks down returns into two categories: "good" returns, those caused by their own mistakes, such as damaged DVDs, and "bad" returns, those caused by the customer. Too many bad returns and CH may start refusing to let one open new accounts.

The best thing to do with the DVDs you no longer want is to give them away or sell them. Less hassle and less risk of having future accounts denied. Yes, I know that the membership agreement says that you can return DVDs within ten days. But if you take advantage of that policy you aren't the sort of customer they want.

Summary: if it wasn't a CH mistake, keep the DVDs and dispose of them however you please.

My 2¢.

How the hell did you make that cent symbol. I want one.

press and hold the ALT key and then using the number keys on the right type 155 and let go of the ALT key

How the hell did you make that cent symbol. I want one.
There are dozens of characters that can be coded for by a byte. You can find out how to type some of them here:
http://www.starr.net/is/type/altnum.htm

However, I have been unable to type them directly in a DVD Talk window using Firefox and have to copy and paste the symbols from some other page, such as Word. (Firefox uses Alt+number commands to switch pages. Damned annoying, actually, because I have been typing some of these symbols for many years and do it without thinking.)

And while I am at it, typing Alt+15 in a Word document gives ☼ *, another character I have used in posts.

I put favorites on a sticky note on my monitor:
• (bullet) Alt+0149
º (degree) Alt+167
¢ Alt+155, Alt+0162
½ Alt+0189
¼ Alt+0188
¾ Alt+0190
© Alt+0169
— (long dash) Alt+0151
☼ Alt+15 *
ñ Alt+164 (I live on a street with the Spanish letter eñe in the name)
Ñ Alt+165
é Alt+130, e.g. Amélie
í Alt+161, e.g. María

Have fun!

* The Alt-15 character displays as a sun symbol in Firefox and Mozilla. But it just gives a placeholder box in Internet Explorer. Don't know why.

Interesting...™

When I hit ALT + any number my screen bounces to the top.. doesnt work for me ?

Make sure num lock light is on.

£1 for your thoughts.

ahhhhhhhh. i was hitting the keys on top, not the side

ahhhhhhhh. i was hitting the keys on top, not the sideYes, it only works using the number pad to the right of the keyboard.

You can also use the Character Map utility on Windows (in Program -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map). Find the character you're after and click on it. For example, if you click on é, you can either click on Select to put it in the Characters to Copy text box then Copy to stick it on the clipboard or if you look in the lower right, you see the Alt code to type (if one exists). So Alt+0233 is another way to get to the é character.

Hello all. New here and just wanted to say thanks for all the info with CH codes and everything. I have had a CH account in the past, and have one now that is one year old. I had no idea about all these different codes and how you can stop and restart your account right away.

Just wanted to say that I used the code 1KJ 3 days ago and got my email today saying I was approved. No PSN or credit card was needed. Got the 6 @ .49 and one at $9.95 and only have 2 left to buy.

Just wanted to let you know and to say thanks again for all the information.

Is anyone else having any problems with the codes.

I keep entering them and just getting the 5 for 49c offer with another at $14.95

I entered 1KJ which has been successful in the past, but to no avail.

I've even cleared out my cookies

I just entered C7L and the offer came up correctly. This code is as good as it gets and I was approved just last week with this code. You may want to give it a shot.:)

C7L worked for me as well last week...plus that code worked without phoning it in, I haven't had an "online" submittal go through in like 4 months...just did another one yesterday for the Batman movies, my fingers are crossed!!

That seems like great advice. Because I want to be able to open more accounts with them, I'll just keep the titles and sell them on eBay. Thanks for your input~

I agree with lizard on this about returns except when they start shipping out "lost" applications that turn out duplicate dvds/sets. I received one of these and shipped it back with a request list for exchange titles. I hope that this is the only time that I have to do it.

^I would hope that Columbia House would consider the very late approval of those old applications to be their own mistake.

Been playing with other things that I can do with the data miner program and decided to look at enrollment savings codes. While I don't have it completely working yet, I did find an interesting new one that I have not seen anyone mention. K7L. It is 5 for $0.49 (free S&H), 6th one for $14.95 (free S&H) and only 1 to buy.

5 @ 0.49 = $2.45 + $14.95 + $19.95 + $2.99 S&H - $5 (Webdvd) = $35.34

7 DVDs @ $5.05 each!

Bummer. I didn't think about that. So that ups it to $5.76 per DVD. Not bad but not as good. Oh well. But if you use in conjuction with the current B1G1 you can get the free one to go with your 1 commitment and get down to $5.29.

^ :up: Nice find AlfB!

K7L used in conjuction w/ a $30~ box set used as the fufillment can be a nice deal

K7L states this for me in the box at the bottom:

You get 6 DVDs for 49¢s with Free Shipping As a Club member, all you need to do is buy 3 more movies in the next 2 years at regular Club prices (currently as low as $19.95 plus shipping and processing). You may cancel anytime thereafter. If you take a 7th movie now for $9.95 with Free Shipping, you will only have to buy 2 more movies (instead of 3) in the next 2 years! You can even take a 8th movie for the special price of $9.95 with Free Shipping.

But it doesn't appear to drop another commitment. Hmmmm

You will receive a free DVD Club magazine about every 4 weeks, as well as some Special Selection mailings. That will give you up to 17 buying opportunities per year! If you want the Director's Selection, do nothing ---it will be sent automatically. If you prefer an alternate selection, more selections or none at all, just visit our website or mail the response card so we receive it by the date specified. You will always have at least 10 days to decide. If not, and you receive an unwanted Director's Selection, you may return it at our expense and we will credit your account. Your introductory package is sent on a 10-day trial basis and includes complete details and your Membership Agreement. If you are not completely satisfied, to cancel your membership just return that package at our expense within 10 days, and we will credit your account. Offer limited to customers of the contiguous United States and may be withdrawn at any time. Residents of Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, U.S. territories, APO and FPO addresses, please write or e-mail us for a separate offer. (Tax added in states where applicable.) All applications are subject to review. Columbia House reserves the right to request additional information, to reject any application or to cancel any membership. If your application is accepted, your membership is subject to the terms and conditions of our Membership Agreement, which we will send you with your introductory package.

U are wrong

ok, thanks. I usually am. zag

You have to make sure you start a new browser every time u change the codes. You were probably still seeing the details for a previous code u entered.

I did. I got it now. Thanks, as always, for the help. zag

The $5 web coupon is good for your first online order of $30 or more. All you have to do is to login at columbiahouse.com/webdvd and the $5 coupon will be deducted as soon as you have at least $30 of DVDs in your cart.:)

May I ask why you didn't use one of the codes that would have given you a 6th movie for $0.49 and a 7th for $9.95? If you did, then you would have gotten 11 DVDs for $48.79= for an average of $4.44.:)

Because with this code..you only have to buy ONE more.

the 6 @ 49 you have to buy 2 more I believe to fufill the commitment.

I think?

You still bought two more though :hscratch:

Nope..I bought only one more (to get free shipping and handling)

then with that one more...I get another free.

So in the end..I am only paying for 2 dvds, getting 2 free dvds AND free shipping and handling.

But you posted that you bought 2 at full price - Back To The Future and Star Trek 2. Using a different code that gave you a 6th for $0.49 and a 7th for $9.95, you would have actually gotten 1 more DVD for almost $5 less.

True...but isnt the number for fufillment higher?

True...but isnt the number for fufillment higher?
It's just 2 fulfillments if you get the $9.95 title when you sign up. You bought 2 items that would have counted as fulfillments (1 more than you needed), that's why you can do even better next time (assuming they have B1G1 then).

Need to know if C7W has a CC option and if it requires a PSN

Yep, C7W has CC option and doesn't require PSN

Just got an offer in the mail, E7F same as C7W 6 DVDs for .49, 7th at 9.95 to bring fullfillments down to 2

How do you determine the cost for a set with your method? For example, how much would you break down my most recent order?

Star Trek Generations Special 1 selection $0.49
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered 1 selection $0.49
Star Trek: The Motion Picture 1 selection $0.49
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home 1 selection $0.49
Star Trek III: The Search for 1 selection $0.49
Star Trek V: The Final Frontie 1 selection $0.49
Star Trek: First Contact Speci 1 selection $9.95
Order Total: $12.89

Stargate Sg-1: Season 7 33491 Pending $32.46
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Deluxe Edition 42507 Pending $0.00
Total $42.44

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan the Director's Edition 27417 Pending $0.00
Back to the Future: The Complete Trilogy 27573 Pending $20.96
Total $28.94


Total=84.27

I would add up the costs of a minimum order:
$12.89 intro package
$19.95 x 2 = $39.90 for 2 fulfillments
$4.98 x 2 = $9.96 shipping

Total = $62.75 Average for 11 DVDs = $5.70

Then figure what each order cost over the minimum:
1st order $42.44 - $ 24.93(minimum cost) = $17.51
So cost of Stargate Sg-1 = $5.70 + 17.51 = $23.21

2nd order $28.94 - $24.93 = $4.01
Cost of BttF = $5.70 + $4.01 = $9.71

I would add up the costs of a minimum order:
$12.89 intro package
$19.95 x 2 = $39.90 for 2 fulfillments

Then figure what each order cost over the minimum:
1st order $42.44 - $ 24.93(minimum cost) = $17.51
So cost of Stargate Sg-1 = $5.70 + 17.51 = $23.21

2nd order $28.94 - $24.93 = $4.01
Cost of BttF = $5.70 + $4.01 = $9.71


Thanks, helps me not feel too bad about spending the extra money on Stargate. Now I just need to keep myself from signing up again. Is the free shipping deal that happened pretty much a one time thing? Too bad I missed out.

Free shipping is usually offered about 3-4 times a year.

I didn't know that...looks like I'll be waiting a couple months before I close 2 of my accounts...

Total=84.27While it doesn't change the fact that you got an excellent deal, I would calculate the cost of the higher priced fulfillments a little differently than Jim did.

First, a standard 7:2 account, such as you have, would break down with minimum fulfillments like this:
Enrollment: 6 x 49¢ + $9.95 = $12.89 (7 DVDs)
Fulfillment: 2 x $19.95 + $4.98 (shipping) - $5 (web discount) = $39.88 (2 DVDs)
Total cost: $12.89 + $39.88 = $52.77 (9 DVDs)
Average DVD cost: $52.77/9 = $5.8633

Your fulfillments included two sets and two DVD editions that aren't available for enrollment. Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan: DE could have been purchased as a fulfillment for $19.95, so it can be had for $5.86 like an enrollment. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: DE seems to be priced at $24.95, $5 more than the $19.95 minimum, so I would value it at $5.86 + $5 = $10.86. The Back to the Future set could be purchased as a fulfillment for $20.96 (on your account; it is less on mine), a $1.01 excess cost over $19.95, so I would value it at $5.86 + $1.01 = $6.87. The rest of the excess membership cost I would apply to the Stargate SG-1: Season 7 set. The valuations would work out like this:
Enrollment: 6 x 49¢ + $9.95 = $12.89 (7 DVDs)
Fulfillment: $42.44 + $28.94 = $71.38 (2 DVDs + 2 sets)
Total cost: $12.89 + $71.38 = $84.27 (9 DVDs + 2 sets)
Relative cost of the Stargate set: $84.27 - ((7 x $5.86) + $5.86 (WoK) + $10.86 (CatCF) + $6.87 (BttF)) = $84.27 - $64.61 = $19.66 (Stargate)

Kind of a complicated way of looking at it but that's because your fulfillment order was complex.

My 2¢.

if you aready have a tv on dvd account where do you add promotional codes at?

Got another 7:2 code in an e-mail: C7YD.

$5.86 average DVD cost, no PSN required. Don't know about whether it has a credit card option, but I presume that the terms are the same as the other C7* codes, which do allow a credit card when enrolling.

Thanks!

May I ask why you didn't use one of the codes that would have given you a 6th movie for $0.49 and a 7th for $9.95? If you did, then you would have gotten 11 DVDs for $48.79= for an average of $4.44.:)

Which code can give me this offer? Thanks.

^The codes are listed and regularly updated by ITALIAN926 in the first post in this thread.

Which code can give me this offer? Thanks.
C7L

7 DVDs for $12.89
2 DVDs(fulfillment) for $34.90(2 x $19.95-preorders-less the $5 web coupon)
2 DVDs for FREE(part of the BOGO-use code 807748)
Shipping for FREE
Tax for FREE(at least for me):)

Total $47.79 for 11 DVDs($4.35 average cost per DVD)

I just called with C7L and C7W, but they said that both are invalid.
This was after 3 web attempts that I just now received the rejection letters for. This is annoying, but I have hope. I think I read somewhere that it depends on the csr? Should I just go with lmt, or just keep trying the number again? I called 1-800-692-1000. Any other numbers I can try?

Ah, sweet. I just called in with lmt (which appears to be the same thing as the other two codes) and I got it to go through! I'm really excited. I assume since the code took, then the approval should be smooth sailing. Hopefully. Thanks to the other guy who mentioned that on the previous page.

^ What did the rejection letters say?

The new accounts phone number for regular DVD club applications is 888-242-3837 (888-CHC-DVDS). And, yes, LMT is the same offer as the C7* codes, as mentioned in the first post in this thread.

No one has encountered a K7L style, 5:2 / 6:1 code that will take a CC up front, right?

I applied yesterday (website: columbiahouse.com) with the LMT code. While checking out, I was asked for the PSN. I had one from a previous account. So that was not a problem.

But I was NOT asked for credit card information (I thought I would be asked that information in the next page). Any chance that this application would get approved?

I would have preferred to have given the credit card information up front so as to improve the chances of the application getting approved (and also that way I can check my credit card statement to see if the account got approved). I have not had any problems with Columbia House in the past and I have obeyed all the rules posted out here. Is this application going to get lost? Or is there a chance that it will go through? Thanks.

^Applications seem to be getting approved much more easily than before. Your chances are good.

There are many codes similar to LMT that DO require a credit card, they are listed in the first post in this thread. Or you could have called in your order; that would have given you a chance to use your credit card.

No one has encountered a K7L style, 5:2 / 6:1 code that will take a CC up front, right?Not so far, but you could try calling it in (don't know if they will accept K7L on the phone, but it is worth a try). 888-242-3837.

Thanks for the response, Lizard. You are right. I should have called it in (like I have done all the previous times). Now I just wait and hope for the best.

I did a K7L (no CC) online earlier this week and was approved less than 24 hours later. I wouldn't sweat it.

Ok, so like I said, I applied last Tuesday, and now it's Sunday and I've heard nothing. I used LMT on the phone, and everything seem to go well. I still have yet to receive an email or anything. Swing and a miss #6.

When I applied over the phone last year, I never received a confirmation email. But the DVDs arrived anyway. So don't write this one off just yet.

I think they have pretty much given up on email. The last account i had i never got an email from enrollment to fulfillment. Also when i would try to put in my email address in my account info it would let me add it but then delete it right after i saved. I guess they're just getting lazy. Give it a week and if you don't get a package then you can start worrying about getting rejected.

I just wanted to update my earlier post.

I applied online with the LMT code on 03/01 (provided PSN. But no credit card info was required). I got approval email on 03/03. I have not received the shipment yet. But I could log on to my account. The only problem is I am already a Preferred Member (without purchasing the fulfillments). Looks like a few others are having similar problems. I am not sure if I should order my fulfillments right away (or) wait to see if my account status gets corrected.

I am atleast happy that my online application got approved (and did not get lost). Thanks for all the help.

I am having problems with the codes. I successfully opened an account in January, but this time when I keep entering codes, I am just getting the 5 for 49c offer with another at $14.95.

I've even cleared out my cookies.

Anything special I need to do?

Just got a code from BMG. It is EBP and it's the standard 7:2

I just applied with C7L yesterday, its the first time they've asked for my CC when enrolling, and this morning an authorization for 12.89 is showing up on my bank statement-- am I accepted already?

I just applied with C7L yesterday, its the first time they've asked for my CC when enrolling, and this morning an authorization for 12.89 is showing up on my bank statement-- am I accepted already?
Not necessarily. I placed a C7L application on February 21 and the $12.89 hold was instantly placed on my card. The $12.89 hold remained on my card for three weeks. I no longer have the hold and the charge never went through.:( Only until the $12.89 is actually posted on your card will you know if you've been approved.

I just tried K7L on the phone and they said that code doesn't work. Has it worked recently on the phone?

^K7L has been reported to not work on the phone before. So far as I am aware, it has never been reported to work on the phone, sorry to say.

You will need to select another code, such as LMT, or try to place your K7L application on-line. So far as we know here, there are no 6:1, 5:2 codes that do work on the phone. (I presume that you called the new applications phone number 888-242-3837; it makes a difference.)

I've been in a bit of a Columbia House limbo the last couple months, with zero approvals since January. I tried by phone last week (code E** (forget which one)), but that one never ever showed up on my card. I tried earlier today with 1KG, and was told that that was inactive. I tried back just now with C7L and was told it was inactive as well. However, the CSR I spoke with was very helpful, and she manually set me up with an account with the same terms as C7L. She wasn't sure if I'd get an email confirming my acceptance, but acted as though I shouldn't have any problem getting accepted. If the charge goes through on my card, what number should I call back to get my account number?

^The LM* codes have been reported to work on the phone (new account applications: 888-242-3837), for example: LMT.

For customer service phone numbers, please check my post in this thread (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=459322).

I got a phone app to go through with EBP yesterday.

^That's helpful to know. Thanks.

long time lurker, first time poster.

just wanted you guys to know i placed two orders today using the LMT code with no PSN.

sorry, i meant to also tell you i called them in.

also, what a great job you guys do here. lizard and all the people that stay on top of this for the rest of us deserve some props.

i definitely appreciate it, and so does my collection!!!!

also, when one of you experts gets time, would you care to explain how you have multiple accounts setup at the same time? do they check the addresses to see if another account uses it? what about the cc i use, or the email? or do they not care as long as you fulfill your agreement?

any expert tips to ensure i can continue to enjoy these deals would be highly appreciated. thanks guys.

They allow 2 open accounts per club, per address. So, you can have 2 open memberships per address of the following- DVD Club, TV Club, CH.com Club & BMG Music Club. Some people use multiple addresses, such as a family member's house, to set up even more open accounts. You can use the same credit card, e-mail address and name for the accounts(sometimes you might want to change your name slightly and use a different e-mail address if you've been having trouble with getting approved).

sweet baby james, you are my hero. thanks for clearing that up

FYI, while you can use the same credit card for all accounts at a given address, it is best to use a different card when one is using a second address. Columbia House can, and sometimes will, search out accounts by credit card number.

Just be aware of this. Since you can open as many accounts as you want at a single address, by closing old fulfilled accounts, it really isn't necessary to use a second address anyway.

what's the usual turn around time for getting approved? reason being is i tried 4 times to place an order online, they would charge my card, and then the charge would go away after 4 days or so. my bank said they didnt put tthe charge through in time.

so i decided to put a phone order in, and the lady said i will receive confirmation within 24 hours, which i havent.

i've got myself into an ivy league school and it was easier than joining columbiahouse!

what's the usual turn around time for getting approved? reason being is i tried 4 times to place an order online, they would charge my card, and then the charge would go away after 4 days or so. my bank said they didnt put tthe charge through in time. On-line applications that do get approved usually take a day or two, but some can take a week or more. For some reason Columbia House chose not to approve your applications and the temporary charge just dropped off your card. Why applications get "lost" is a mystery.

so i decided to put a phone order in, and the lady said i will receive confirmation within 24 hours, which i havent.She was mistaken. Phone applications rarely get an e-mail acceptance. When you see a real (not temporary) charge on your card you will know that you have been accepted and the enrollment package is on its way.

i've got myself into an ivy league school and it was easier than joining columbiahouse!Hence, the need for this forum!

From the FAQ thread at the top of the forum:

If you don't have an old account number to use as a "Preffered Status Number", you will need to use a different enrollment code (they are listed in the first post in this thread). Some do not require PSNs. (K7L does not work on the phone at last report, so a phone order is not an option.)

Is there a listing of the codes that work over the phone? I know that LMT works on phone applications, but I was wondering if there were other codes that also worked on these. Thank you.

^ LMT, LMY (probably), EBP, and 38Y should work on the phone, at last report.

K7L, C7L, C7W and 1KG have been reported to not work on the phone. Other C7* and 1K* codes probably don't work but you can give them a try. 1KK worked on the phone last October.

Unknown, for phone use, are DR5, BZW, BWJ, and 1LM.

One complicating factor is that most codes will not work if one calls the regular CSR phone numbers. One should call the new applications phone number, 888-242-3837. So it isn't always clear when people report that a code didn't work whether or not they were calling the right phone number.

As always with this stuff, YMMV.

[Edited to reflect 38Y information from richard98 below.]

I received two new 7:2 codes in e-mails from Columbia House: C85 and C88. Trawling reveals additional 7:2 codes: C80, C81, C82, C83, C84, C86, C87, C89.

C85 does not require a PSN, so I presume that the others do not also.

(No, I don’t know whether they will work on the phone, but would guess not, based on the family resemblance to the C7* codes. I don’t know if they allow use of a credit card but would guess that they do, for the same reason.)

Also, new 6:1 (5:2) codes: K7M, K7N, K7P, K7Q

Thanks. I'd like to get a 5:2 deal to go through, but online applications haven't been friendly to me as of late. I've had some great luck with phone applications lately though and I'd like to get a 5:2 deal so I'd only have to buy one after the $14.95 one. Thanks again.

I finally got my rejection letter, after using LMT, which apparently does not work. Ughhh.

^The code you used has nothing to do with whether or not your application was approved. Just why applications get turned down or "lost" remains a mystery in most cases.

If you applied on-line you might want to try a phone application: 888-242-3837.

First Time I've given this a try.

Used code C7Y (6 enrollment @ $0.49 + 1 more @ $9.95 w/ commitment to buy 2 more @ regular price within 2 years)

1) Crash
2) The Blues Brothers 25th Anniversary Edition
3) Carlito's Way Ultimate Edition
4) The Warrior's Ultimate Director's Cut
5) Donnie Brasco
6) To Kill A Mockingbird Legacty Series
7) The Color Purple Special Edition

If this works out... I'll be signing up for another account in a week, canceling both after the orders are received, start over with two new accounts, repeat every week there after.

Question (I hope this in the correct place) about the refer a friend gig. Can I refer a friend, and once they've signed up, have them refer me right back, so on and so forth?

Question (I hope this in the correct place) about the refer a friend gig. Can I refer a friend, and once they've signed up, have them refer me right back, so on and so forth?

Just ignore the sign up a friend and keep using the codes listed here. You need to buy more fulfilments with the sign up a friend accounts( 3 or 4 instead of just two) making each dvd cost more as a whole.

Can someone confirm any 6:1 (5:2) codes that work by phone?

^K7L has been reported a couple of times to NOT work on the phone. It is likely that the other K7* 6:1 codes will also not work, although you are welcome to try: 888-242-3837

They allow 2 open accounts per club, per address. So, you can have 2 open memberships per address of the following- DVD Club, TV Club, CH.com Club & BMG Music Club. Some people use multiple addresses, such as a family member's house, to set up even more open accounts. You can use the same credit card, e-mail address and name for the accounts(sometimes you might want to change your name slightly and use a different e-mail address if you've been having trouble with getting approved).

Does it make a difference if the accounts are opened for different people at the same address? For example, can my roommate have two open accounts at the same time I have two open accounts? Assuming we use different credit cards? Thanks for any info on this.

It's supposed to be by address, not by different names. There's a good chance that you can get more than 2 accounts opened at the same address. However, there's also a good chance that they'll send you a letter stating that you already have numerous open accounts at this address and if there's any reason as to why you need an additional account. You can then explain the roommate situation and they will most likely approve the additional account.:)

I have had 4 accounts opened at once at the same address. However they were broken down as 1 ch.com, 1 tv club and 2 regular. 2 in my name, 2 in my wifes.

Got a Spam e-mail today from someone calling himself "Dr. Music" with subject: "Hurry! Get 5 DVDs for 49¢ each with Membership". The message is a Columbia House link that says "Please note this offer is for new members only. Only one membership per person.".

The code is 2CC and, get this, is 5 @ 49¢ plus $1.99 each shipping with FIVE fulfillments. Or buy the bonus for $14.95 and get free shipping. rotfl rotfl rotfl

I didn't know such terrible deals still existed! I wonder how many people actually fall for such offers?

I currently have 3 DVD accounts in my name at this address. I accepted 2 phone offers and they probably had some outdated info when they called me about how many active accounts I had.

Anyway, 1 of them (my very first CH account from 2004) is already fulfilled but I want to spend my $9 FC before I close it. I hope I don't get blacklisted.

3 DVD Club
1 TV Club
1 CH.com

I plan on trying for another TV Club acct. soon since my app. last month apparently didn't go thru. This will be after I close that old DVD Club account.

Does anyone have any new enrollment codes that work? I would prefer one of the 5 for 49 with free shipping if you have one. The other 6 dvd offers take forever to even get to me, if at all when not using a credit card..Thanks :)

The notion that one will be blacklisted for having more than two open accounts is a myth. Sometimes when trying to open a third account one will get a letter asking why one needs more than two. But it isn't a big deal for those who have managed to open a third account.

One gets blacklisted for eggregious behavior like not paying for DVDs, having too many "bad" returns (those not caused by a Columbia House error or a damaged disc), or ordering multiple copies of the same DVDs in such a way that it appears that one is selling them (CH does not like that).

That said, it is best to limit oneself to two open accounts (per club) so as to not draw the attention of CH.

The other 6 dvd offers take forever to even get to me, if at all when not using a credit card..Thanks :)The only good 5 DVD codes are K7L and its siblings. Five for 49¢, two fulfillments, bonus for $14.95 then one fufillment. But K7L does not work on the phone so if one can't get it to work on-line one will have to use a different, 7:2, code, such as LMT, on the phone.

There are many other "five for 49¢ with free shipping" codes but they are poor deals because they require more fulfillments and the average cost of buying DVDs with them is increased considerably. This thread is devoted to the best codes. You can find others by playing "keyboard roulette" for awhile.

The speed of being accepted (or not) or getting the enrollment package (or not) has nothing to do with what code is used so far as I have seen. We have a tendency to see patterns where none exist when a few applications get "lost".

Although I agree that those are the best codes, I disagree about getting the bonus for 14.95. With all of the recent B1G1F and B2G2F codes, it makes sense to just get the 5, then get 2 fulfillments (with 2 free). So you'll get 9 DVD's for $37.40 for an average of $4.16 each (using webdvd, of course). Plus, you need to spend $30 to use webdvd anyway. So needing only 1 fulfillment isn't helping. FYI--No free shipping right now, but there is an active B1G1F code still.

Using K7L as a 5:2 code is often best (I fulfill with sets that count for two fulfillment credits, for example). I was just stating the terms of the K7L in response to a rather vague question about "5 for 49" codes by another poster.

..., but there is an active B1G1F code still.

Was this a fulfillment order? Do you know if $19.95 titles count as fulfillments with this additional 10% discount? The first checkout screen for said that they do, but I am not so sure now because the final screen reduces the prices to $17.95 each.
My "pending" order (about 16 hours old) has fun cash already recorded, but not the fulfillments yet. I forget if they wait until they charge the CC to record the fulfillments properly. I also remember that with the webdvd discount, it would show one title as $14.95 at the final screen, but that would still count as fulfillment.

If it makes you feel any better, even when it did work, it wouldn't take off the shipping charges.

They haven't had an actual free shipping code for a few months.

I haven't done a CH application in months.

What are the best codes to use online with or without a PSN?

I'd prefer not to use a phone or credit card application because I ship the DVDs to work since I'm never home when the mail comes and I've had DVDs stolen before.

I've read through the thread and it looks like it hasn't been updated recently.

Thanks to anyone who helps.

I haven't done a CH application in months.

I've had good success using C7L. This code gives you 6 for $2.94 and a 7th title for $9.95. So you'll get 7 for $12.89 and the obligation is 2 in the next 2 years. This code also gives you the choice of using a credit card upfront or being billed later. BTW, you can use a credit card for an application and have the DVDs shipped to a different address-I do it all the time and have never encountered any problems.:)

Just a heads up. I see they've raised the price of the seventh selection now to $14.95. I've tried several of the codes that need a PSN and they all show $14.95. Also, instead of 2 more to buy it's now 3.

:hscratch:
I just checked and the offer details for the C7L code is as I described it in my last post.

Hmm....it must be a problem on my end then. I'll try clearing cookies and see if it does anything. Strange.

oh me oh my if only it were true. Sorry but it died a couple weeks ago.

But 807748 works for B1G1 free, although you still have to pay shipping which is a killer.
Begging your pardon, but I am new to this forum, and to CH. How do you enter such a code for an order?

Close to the top where it tells the current deal there is a link directly under it that says "Looking for the offer in your mailing?", just click on that and a box will pop up for you to put the code in.

If you bring up the "details" of a code after entering it, be careful on what link you click to "go shop". One or more of the links on the page will reset your offer (code) to the default.

Thank you very much!

I just tried C7L over the phone and they said the offer code was invalid. Apparently 1KJ is invalid as well.

^Yes, many of the on-line codes are not accepted on the phone. LCY and LCT should work fine on the phone, at last report.

got an email this week, rejoined using it. the code was C8W, it was the 6 for 49 cents each, plus the availability of 2 more at checkout for 9.95 each, free shipping, and only 2 commitment titles.

i joined it both by phone and online. no psn required, and online had the billme and CC option, FYI.

ITALIAN926 (or someone else)—would it be possible to re-post the "COLUMBIAHOUSE FOR DUMMIES" [sic] thread(s)/information?

Anybody have a good code to use for a phone enrollment?

Anybody have a good code to use for a phone enrollment?My recollection is that only a few codes work on the phone and that they include 7:2 codes LCY, LCT, and 38Y. The phone number for regular DVD club applications is 888-242-3837.

The 6:1 type K7L codes have been reported to not work on the phone.

Not that we really need any more, but I have received some more 7:2 codes in "we want you back" e-mails:

C8M, C8Q, C8W, and 42E.

Edit: And another one: 42G.

I called last night and C83 was a no go, but EBP did work. 7:2 code.

Damn, that sux that it was deleted. I shouldve kepta copy somewhere. Maybe an admin can raise them from the dead ?

Thanks for the code. I just joined with 8 special editions for $22.84, shipping included. I got:

Purple Rain 20Th Anniversary Special Edition
Yankee Doodle Dandy Special Edition
Singin' in the Rain Special Edition
Gandhi Special Edition
Heat Special Edition
Leon: The Professional Deluxe Edition
All the President's Men [Special Edition]
Once Upon a Time in America Special Edition.

There are lots of 2-disc sets for new enrollees now, it seems. That's a great savings.

Yes, it is great savings. It would be even slightly greater savings if you opted not to get the 8th selection, and instead bought it as one of your fulfillment titles. No big deal, only a few bucks difference, but if you plan to open more accounts, you should remember to just choose the 7th DVD for $9.95 (which reduces your commitment) and not the 8th.

has anyone who visits a bit more regularly asked mpauls for the code - i finally got an account approved for the first time in like 6 months and i could really use a b1g1f right about now :)

There are no current B1G1 codes afaik, but I would think there should be one soon. They have been pretty regular over the past month but they usually only run for three days or so- wait to see what offers come out this weekend before ordering.

not a problem - i visit here quite often, i know there are no codes now, i really just wish the thing was working like it used to so you can see all the offers and pick...

How much is shipping again for just one dvd? $2.95?

$2.99 for 1st DVD, $1.99 for each subsequent DVD in order - no max.

Ok thanks, was trying to figure out my per dvd price.
used code k7l

Does the webdvd coupon still work?
the 5$ off coupon doesn't seem to showup when i go to checkout.

Sometimes the $5 is deducted from the price of one of the DVDs in your order.

I tried a phone enrollment today and the following are all apparently no longer valid:

LMTD
LMYD
C7LD

Has anyone else phoned in an LMTD-type enrollment within the last couple of days? If so, what code was used? I'm looking for a "standard" PSN code that yields 6@.49 (free shipping) + 1@9.95 + 2 fullfilment.

It does look like the above codes are being accepted by the web-enrollment site, however that doesn't necessarily mean that they would lead to an accepted application.

^The information is a couple of weeks old, but 38Y and EBP were reported to work on the phone.

I listed several new codes on the previous page that could be tried, if those above don't work:
C8M, C8Q, C8W, 42E, and 42G.

I may try a phone enrollment in a few days and will try some of these out.

Note: FWIW, now that the video club is defunct, the fourth character,"D", is no longer being used on Columbia House mailings.

Thanks Lizard. I just called again and they won't accept 38Y. Apparently, something has changed (either deliberate or another one of those long Holiday weekend glitches). We may need to hear from someone who has actually gotten a good-code mailing recently. If that fails, I'll try a web-app. I actually had two go through in Feb-March using C7L but the third attempt put me back in the ditch...

Edit: just re-read your message, I'll try 42G, etc. in a bit. Thanks.

I tried a web K7* a couple of weeks ago. No dice. Haven't tried a 7:2 since last year; my most recent account was a TV Edition.

The new codes I listed were all from "We Want You Back" e-mails; I have never received a decent 7:2 code in a mailing.

If we lose phone orders, that would be bad news for those of us with many previous accounts. I hope that it is a holiday weekend glitch.

C8W worked for me over the phone about ten days ago.

Sometimes the $5 is deducted from the price of one of the DVDs in your order.


The coupon needed a $30 minimum to be spent.. i was only buying one dvd..

No dice on C8W either

Pardon me, but how do you extract a promotional code from an E-mail message? I checked the message itself, and could not find anything resembling a three digit code.

Edit: Never mind—I see it in the URL which resulted from when I clicked the link in the message: 42G (5+option for one for $9.95, free shipping, plus two to buy).

Hey Doc; was that 5+1 or 6+1??? I doubt our buddy Lizard would have posted a 5+1 code. :)

Had me wondering there! But, yes, I just checked again and 42G is a good 7:2 code with the $9.95 bonus.

C8M and 42G are both now invalid for phone orders (as of today). I'm not liking the looks of this. :(

Edit: having failed again, I scrounged up an old (March) email from CH with a 7:2 "standard" offer (code = C88). Pretending to be a normal customer, I clicked the email link and submitted an on-line application. Who knows what's changed on the CH end? They could be linking offer codes to email addresses to phone numbers to zip codes to ???

My last approved web app was in March and my last phone app was in May; so hopefully I appear to CH as somewhat of a non-cycler. We'll see...

I just had a 1KK web application approved. I applied Thursday, my credit card was charged Friday and Saturday morning I got the "Welcome to the Club" email. I have a TV club account open and the last account I opened was in March. I can't remember that last time I tried to join by phone, I always apply online.

I don't need to cycle accounts quickly. With about 600 DVDs, one account every few months is enough for me. Now I'll wait for a B1G1 offer with free shipping.

Thanks for the info Void. I'm in a similar situation (now), finding that a new account every two or three months should be all I'll want.

Lizard: you've got mail

Lizard, would you mind sending me an email with that info as well?

Anyone have a code for free shipping?

You can usually find sale offer codes listed and discussed in the last pages of A list of all offer codes (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?p=7132481#post7132481) thread. I also have some free shipping codes posted in the Free Shipping for orders over $50 (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=470800) thread.

The current codes aren't very good and probably expire today (we'll find out tomorrow).

Great news! The old B1G1F code 807748 is now active again! I just used it to buy 2 regular priced DVDs and get 2 free (which completes my membership). Better use it fast, as CH has been changing their codes pretty quickly.

E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T! Thanks for the heads-up.:)


EDIT: All of the older BOGO codes are working as of right now-807747, 807748, 807749, 807750 and 807751. BTW, :wave: thewrite1. Great first post.:)

Well, lo and behold, it worked! I got the "welcome to the club" email at 8:21 this morning. I'm wondering if CH is somehow linking phone numbers and/or zip codes to offer codes. Those are two pieces of information that they ask for before the code and, both being strictly numeric, would lend themselves to computer verification. I find it interesting that all of the other 7:2 codes I tried failed but the one they actually emailed to me (despite being four months old) worked like a charm. The plot thickens.... :)

By the way, has anyone else gotten an offer online from CH to join a free trial membership of Great Fun? After purchasing my CH DVDs on a previous membership, I noticed a link saying "save an extra $20". It's an invite to join this lame "Great Fun" club for vacation/entertainment discounts, but it's a free 30 day trial that promises to reimburse you $20 for your CH purchases. My point is, it works! I joined Great Fun, cancelled my membership before the 30 days was up, and got my $20 check in the mail within 3 weeks (!) So taking advantage of a BOGO and 7:2 offer and Great Fun trial brought my average DVD cost down to $3.65 each. Doing it again now under a different membership.

Thanks for the deal! You wouldn't be a CH operative telling us about this in order to smoke out the people who use this board so CH can blacklist all of us, would you?

Just kidding :)

Sort of.
