blockbuster.com online rental codes not working :(

ive tried several codes and even deals that don't require codes but when the final screen comes up before i confirm my plan it always says $17.99/month. i have tried the $9.99/month for the first month deal and a free month deal coupon code but still get same $17.99 price. any idea what is going on? does it change after i finalize the deal or something?

i just used the free month code. i think you still have to pick which plan you want, but they wont charge you until those 30 days are up. it should say when you will be charged next on one of the screens. unless its some cookie problem you got.

ok so i went to blockbuster.com and entered a code for a free month. the screen comes up that says 30 day free trial, 3 movies out at once and 1 free rental a week for the first month (4 free rentals). then i fill out the stuff at the right and the next screen does show my plan not billing me until 5/10 but under 'in-store' benefits it says nothing about 1 instore rental a week emailed to me. should i just expect to get one each week? thanks for the help.

There are currently two plans for the in store rentals. The original plan (which I have) is for two free instore rentals a month, both coupons are placed into your account on your billing date and expire within 30 days. The new plan allows 4 free instore rentals a month and the coupons are added to your account once a week. The coupons are only good for one week, the idea being they will get you into the store more often and most likely increase sales/rentals. ALL coupons have expiration dates, so you need to keep track.

"bbstore" still works. I just signed up using it.

EDIT - In case someone doesn't know, bbstore gives you 4 free weeks of 3-out (and 2 free in-store rentals).
