Now that the b1g1 double funcash is dead, how did you all do? This was the only membership that I ever kept open.
I have $224 all ready for April 21st :)

I currently have a $100 in funcash. First time I ever really saved up my funcash to use.

I have $318. About $150 was from the b1g1 sale. I just started collecting DVD's so I had a lot more titles I needed than most. I'm saving up for the Smallville TV sets and the Buck Rogers set. I'll wait until the year end redemption period so I can get Smallville season 4 as well. After these titles, I'll still have at least another $100 in funcash that I'm not sure how I'll use yet.

I ended up with a total fo $190 spread across two accounts. Once I receive all of my orders, I am going to call to consolidate the amount.

I accumulated $147, which I have earmarked for the the Godfather cycle and probably a Star Trek set.

Got $83 on one account and $30 on another. This is the first time I keep accounts open that long!
Thinking about some CSI season.

I have $82 in one account and $41 in a another account. They have different names and addresses on the accounts so I can not combine them.

The CSR I just spoke with said only one other member had as much Funcash as I have. I must either kill that guy or steal his Funcash.

Same here. $288 in one account being held open. Might try to consolidate FC for the first time too.

$122. But $36 of that is a mistake (they credited it back when I exchanged a damaged funcash order from the last time), so I probably shouldn't use it for ethical reasons.
This will be the second funcash cycle for this account, the only one I have open at present. Just can't get it closed before Columbia House throws another deal at us that is too good to pass up!

lizard, you are such a nice guy I think you deserve that bonus Funcash. Spend it!

lizard, you are such a nice guy I think you deserve that bonus Funcash. Spend it! :blush: Thanks for the compliment. But I tend to be hard-nosed when it comes to making Columbia House fix mistakes that cost me (it took numerous calls and returns and credits before they got that last funcash order sorted out, but they eventually got it right... except for the extra funcash). So it doesn't seem quite right to take advantage of a mistake that benefits me.
Once, I didn't have a choice though. They said I had a credit balance on an account I wanted to close and no amount of explaining that we were square would convince the CSR. She sent me a check for the credit. Go figure.

I'm rather far from $1000, but we've still got 2/3 of a year left to go before December.

I ended up with $64. I'm going to use $30 to get Dr. Strangelove, and probably save the rest and try to build up some more for later in the year.

I only have $88, but I'm tempted to place a $98 order which will give me $141 in Funcash...
A question for you all. When redeeming Funcash, do box sets come up at retail price, or at their "special price"? I want to get the new Red Dwarf volumes, which actually have a great price of 26.21 each. Will they still be that price with Funcash?

However, a poster here was told by a CSR that the pricing for sets might change for the next redemption period. If sets went to full price that would be bad news...

They are the special price with funcash and you pay standard shipping and handling charges. Fox example, Godfather DVD Collection is currently listed at a Special Club Price $56.96 (List Price $75.95). You could get it for free (not including shipping) with $57 fucash.
Also, the 40% off box set sale will lower the prices even more.

i've seen a lot written about funcash and redemption with box sets? can someone clue me in what the big excitement is for this, and how it's the best way to use your funcash?

Partly because box sets are difficult to work in as fulfillments, and not available at all as enrollments. Also, they often overlap fun cash redemption with 40% off box sets retail price (normally priced at 25% off). Also, when using fun cash there is no reason to limit your order to as few selections as you need to fulfill, so if you have quite a bit (I currently have $247) you can order several sets and max out at $15 for shipping. Otherwise, many sets are $8 each for shipping.

One doesn't know anything for certain, though history tells us there is always a box set sale every few months.
