Not a bad deal for me since I'm getting $80 back for the 3 B&B, 2 Dukes of Hazzard, Shaun/Dawn of the Dead and Whose Line is It Anyway sets from a friend and my dad gave me $18 to pick up the 6 ELVIS DVDs. ;)
Works on all DVDs, even cheap ones! The ones in red, I have already received. :up:

$265.29 for 66 DVDs (I'm upgrading alot of these and selling off the old versions at work to pay for the new ones.):up:

Great job bigjim25! I was going to start a thread just for the deal, but was afraid a few posters who shall go unnamed would jump all over it and it would just go downhill from there.

Here are the orders I've placed so far:

Sunshine (free)
El Cid Deluxe Edition ($9.98)

Stardust (free)
The Nines ($9.98)

Shoot 'Em Up (free)
Slipstream ($9.98)

3:10 to Yuma (free)
Gandhi 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition (9.98)


Keep the suggestions coming guys, and Peep, you need to post your orders as well. :)

Imagine if this was about a "normal" site like DD, DVDPlanet, and so on. The thread would have hundreds of posts by now. :lol:

Great idea starting a new thread!

"Interview" and "Rise" (w/ Lucy Lui) also work as qualifying titles.

Nice thread. I just wonder how long before someone asks why the codes don't work at the regular club site.

re the 30 Rock set for $11.99. It is definitely the season one set pictured & described & not season one vol. one or vol. two. Look at the picture. It says season one & the words are in a light green box. Volume one says season one vol. one & the words are a blue box. Season one vol. two says season one vol. 2 & the words are in a red box.
Also, the season one set has three discs & runs 7:42. Volume one has 2 discs & runs 344 mins & vol. two has one disc & runs 113 mins.

Some of my orders

Bee Movie(free)
Cosby S-3($9.99)

Stargate SG-1 Ark Of Truth(free)
Cosby S-4($9.99)

Bourne Identity Ex. Edition(free)
30 Rock($11.99)

War(free)
Mork & Mindy S-2($17.99)

So, how long before these start to ship? I gave them my credit card number yesterday.

Nice work bigjim25 :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Am I the only one who is getting all stars when using the code, i tried one order for Bevis and buthead and bee movie, am I doing this right. it is a ch.com account I am signing into. thanks

bigjim25 - here are a few to add to your master list:

1408 CE (2-disc) $9.98
20 Million Miles to Earth AE (2-disc) $9.98
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner AE (2-disc) $9.98 (you purchased this yourself, but omitted it from the 1st post)
Lion of the Desert AE (2-disc) $9.99
The Message AE (2-disc) $9.99
The Natural DC (2-disc) $9.98
Survivor (any of the 5 sets) $10.00

Nice finds with the sets the can be used as free titles!

Every time I tell myself I'm going to spend less on DVDs this month, a code or sale like this comes along! ;)

just got a conf. email has anyones lookd like this?

Bee Movie (Pre-Order)
Widescreen
4856506


Beavis and Butt-Head: The Mike Judge Collection - Volume 1
Full Screen
4650404

Total Items Ordered: 2
Order Total: $-18.00

None of mine have, but I didn't place any orders with items which had asterisks instead of prices. Pretty risky (even if other people bought those same items) if you ask me. If they end up charging you differently than you expect, what kind of proof do you have of the proginal prices? A bunch of asterisks?

Darn you Jester! I just placed about ten orders, mostly pre-orders combined with the ~$10 titles mentioned.

Strange how some combinations are working and some aren't.

I can't get the Platoon 2 disc to give me anything else free, although it will be free with a higher priced title.

Did I miss a post/thread with any other details?

Also trying to figure out the cheapest way to get those Odd Couple season sets. I can't get anything to make them free, but if buying them for $17.99 can get a pre-order or other non-special club price item free.

Can someone explain to me how you are seeing the prices, mine is all ******* a little help please

Can someone explain to me how you are seeing the prices, mine is all ******* a little help please
Are you logged into your ch.com account?

Are all prices *****, or just some?

Can someone explain to me how you are seeing the prices, mine is all ******* a little help please
it looks like that's what you get when you try to use the code on a regular columbia house account, not a ch.com account.

Other good deals:

Man From Plains
Cinema Paradiso
Doors: Collectors Edition (non-anamorphic, I believe)

I just got a shipping confirmation email for the first order I placed that didn't include a pre-order. :)

Damn, wish they would hurry and approve my application (just did it last nite)!!!!!!

I can't get 30 Rock to work as the base selection. I selected it first and the tried to select ACROSS THE UNIVERSE as my freebie, but it charged me full price for both. I tried again using MICHAEL CLAYTON as the freebie, but it still came up as both selections being full-price. What am I doing wrong?

The problem with 30 Rock is that the list price is wrong. ($19.98)
Your freebie will have to be something with a REGULAR price of <$19.98.
Both Michael Clayton and Across the Universe are more than that.

Can someone explain this to me? How are you guys buying something that only costs $9.98 and getting these new release movies for free? Are they really cheap enough to be equal or lesser value to $9.98?

The B1G1 free values are based on the REGULAR price. (It's always this way with CH and ColumbiaHouse as far as I know.)

e.g.
Man From Plains Reg: $22.95 Sale: $9.95
3:10 to Yuma Reg: $22.95 Sale: $17.97


Use the code-- put Man From Plains in your cart first-- you get 3:10 to Yuma for free because $22.95 is less than or equal to $22.95.

Damn, wish they would hurry and approve my application (just did it last nite)!!!!!!


Same here!

The B1G1 free values are based on the REGULAR price. (It's always this way with CH and ColumbiaHouse as far as I know.)

e.g.
Man From Plains Reg: $22.95 Sale: $9.95
3:10 to Yuma Reg: $22.95 Sale: $17.97


Use the code-- put Man From Plains in your cart first-- you get 3:10 to Yuma for free because $22.95 is less than or equal to $22.95.

Oh, wow. That's a pretty great deal. Thanks for explaining.

I signed up for this last night, so hopefully I get approved soon. The two free DVDs I picked were "The Shawshank Redemption" (10th Anniversary) and "Goodfellas" (Special Edition). Since both of those titles were only released in 2-disc form believe, it seemed like a pretty good deal.

So the question is: What's the $9.95 title that has the highest regular normal price? I'd be nice to score Michael Clayton, etc. as the freebie.

So the question is: What's the $9.95 title that has the highest regular normal price? I'd be nice to score Michael Clayton, etc. as the freebie.
There's lots of different answers: From the list above, you could choose Taxi Driver, It's a Wonderful Life CE, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and I'm sure many others. The three I just mentioned have a regular price of $24.95. I just put Taxi Driver and Michael Clayton in my cart and MC comes up being the freebie.

So the question is: What's the $9.95 title that has the highest regular normal price? I'd be nice to score Michael Clayton, etc. as the freebie.
I got MC free with Tin Man for $10.

Never considered joining CH before, but this deal is too good. Anyone know when the code expires?

Also, any suggestions on the what to take as the initial 2 freebies (when paying $9.95 to signup)? Didn't know if there were some good 2-disc sets available or not.

Thanks!

My most recent order was the pre-order of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner 2-disc for $9.xx and then the Across the Universe 2-disc for free. :)

The B1G1 free values are based on the REGULAR price. (It's always this way with CH and ColumbiaHouse as far as I know.)...You are correct. This is one of those longtime quirks of Columbia House that we have been able to use to our advantage in BOGOF deals. ...e.g.
Man From Plains Reg: $22.95 Sale: $9.95
3:10 to Yuma Reg: $22.95 Sale: $17.97


Use the code-- put Man From Plains in your cart first-- you get 3:10 to Yuma for free because $22.95 is less than or equal to $22.95.That was an excellent and helpful answer you gave.

According to the first post, this code will expire January 31. Perhaps there will be other codes to follow. Using codes at CH.com is kind of a new thing...possibly to make up for the fact that CH.com does not offer funcash anymore. Regardless of which, it's a good idea to open up a CH.com account and leave it open for the occasional deal that pops up.

There aren't a whole lot of 2-disc options in the enrollment choices. A previous poster mentioned Shawshank Redemption and Goodfellas. Another that comes to mind when I signed up was 'Bringing Up Baby'

Thanks!The enrollments for the CH.com club are very limited. As of September of last year the enrollment list was posted here (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?p=8171443#post8171443) by smashthesymbols.

The list may have changed a bit since then.

Thanks Lizard. Sorry I missed the coupon expiry on the first post. My apologies.

Now I will sign up and try to beat the clock on getting approved and getting in on the deal before it expires!

Anyone know if I can use a Visa gift card to sign up or do you think this would delay approval as it would not be linked to an address.

Thanks again for the help!

Anyone know if I can use a Visa gift card to sign up or do you think this would delay approval as it would not be linked to an address.

I would imagine that could delay things or, most likely, result in a denied application.

I was thinking the same thing. So I signed up using a regular cc and will switch if/when I get approved.

Ended up taking Bringing up Baby and Goodfellas so thanks to all for the recommendations.

BTW, I did make a copy of the list of currently available enrollment titles for those interested.

Here ya' go!

{edited to remove list as it is now in the 1st post}

avoiceoreason, thanks for your time in listing them & thanks everyone else for your help on this thread. I hope you are enjoying it. I'lll try to keep it up to date & new codes will always be listed in the 1st post of the thread so you can find easily. I hope thejester can keep them coming. :D

I'd be curious to hear if others are getting approved. I am waiting on my 2nd try...applied Wed afternoon...nothing yet. 9.95 hanging on my credit card pending...
I want in!

I applied 48 hours ago, got an initial email saying it would be reviewed. Nothing since then. Did you try previously and get shot down?

Booo, I was going to finally order Coming to America and Trading Places but CH has apparently stopped selling Trading Places. :(

I got the email saying it would be reviewed as well.
I tried a week prior, same thing happened...email...9.95 pending, then disappeared. Maybe I shouldn't be trying so often. Just wanted in before 1/31 !!

Booo, I was going to finally order Coming to America and Trading Places but CH has apparently stopped selling Trading Places. :(

Here's an idea you might want to try: You could always order Eddie Murphy Collection (Beverly Hills Cop, 48 Hours and Trading Places) for $10.40 and get Coming to America or a new release for free (and just sell or give the 2 extra EM movies to someone else). Since Coming to America was $8.24 you could order it with something else.

any high priced non-sets to go with sets? i already got the nice ed. of river kwai, and the new expensive close encounters. recommendations appreciated!

any high priced non-sets to go with sets? i already got the nice ed. of river kwai, and the new expensive close encounters. recommendations appreciated!
You could get you one of the Criterions, Lawrence of Arabia LE, Bee Movie 2 Disc CE, or West Side Story SE

Can't for the life of me find "Wonderland (2 disc)", only the single-disc version. Is there a trick to finding it?

Also, is that really the 2-disc version of Jerry Maguire they are selling? It's weird that they don't offer the 1-disc and that the MSRP listed is so low. I'd like to get the 2-disc, because it's hard to find, and I already own the 1-disc.

Well they picture the old one. That's the one I got there 3 months ago minus the slipcover. It might just be a misprint(they do that alot). Also as for Jerry Maguire I think the 1 disc is out of print and I also got the 2 disc from there along with the 2 disc Glory (thickbox) a year ago. Both of those have been low in $15 MSRP for awhile just most places haven't lowered them.

Here's an idea you might want to try: You could always order Eddie Murphy Collection (Beverly Hills Cop, 48 Hours and Trading Places) for $10.40 and get Coming to America or a new release for free (and just sell or give the 2 extra EM movies to someone else). Since Coming to America was $8.24 you could order it with something else.

That's true, but the old version of Trading Places is in that box set, not the most recent release. Right?

i'm having some orders show up as **** now. curious.

Do you have to place separate orders for each B1G1, or can you just load a bunch into your cart at once?

(this is of course assuming I get approved, 24 hours down hopefully less than 24 hours left to go)

That's not too uncommon. My orders were like that also for awhile, but now they're looking normal on my account page (still in the "outstanding" section, but with the b1g1 amounts). And the charges have started hitting my CC at the correct prices, so it looks like it all should work. Thanks to whoever spotted this.

One development I just noticed is that 30 Rock s1 disappeared from my order, and appears to be gone from the site altogether (though it still is pictured on the TV Club enrollment page).

At least the freebie with it should still be good.

What was the selection number?

As SkullOrchard implied, you do have to place a lot of separate orders.

Darnit. 30 Rock gone...wanted that one; was just waiting to see if I could get in ch.com.
Sigh.

Night at the Museum 2-Disc SE works as a freebie -popcorn-

The Cosby Show: Season 3 $9.99 Special Club Price 04738902
Night At The Museum 2-Disc Special Edition Free Sale Price ($24.95 off) 04858601

So I guess I figured out you have to type the code in on the home page as there seems to be nowhere to enter coupon codes in checkout. It shows up at the top of check out as B1G1. However, the prices in checkout don't reflect the deal. It still lists the combined total for me for both DVDs, and I really don't have all that much money in paypal. Thus, I don't want to take a chance on placing an order unless I know the coupon is going to work for me.

Is it doing this for everyone? I hate to take things on blind faith only to have to go thru the hassle of calling and canceling an order later.

I'm not sure where on the homepage you are typing in the code, but what you need to do is to click on the "DVDs 40-60% Off" banner at the top of the page, and then enter the code in the "Enter Your Online Code" box.


This is one of those codes that's gonna cost me some coin, I just know it ...

They pulled the "30 Rock" out of my order also (and left the free selection). We'll see what happens. They charged my card for all orders on the 22nd/23rd, but none have yet shipped.

The Richard Pryor Collection (Which Way is Up?/ Brewster`s Millions/ Car Wash/ Bustin` Loose) (1976) 4-Disc

If you do find a number (the FAQ thread?), don't mention anything about this b1g1 deal or any coupon codes.

The quickest way to kill a deal is for someone to call and ruin it for everyone else.

4 days, huh? I've been trying to get a CH account opened off and on for about a year now. I just can't seem to get approval. No problems with the regular clubs though.

So, how many orders have you guys placed so far? :lol:

Whew... it's been a great deal so far. I've made about 12-15 orders, I would guess. How about you?

Thanks, OP!

Well, potentially interesting development...I called Columbia House today, as my 2nd attempt at ch.com membership is still 'pending'...the very nice CSR told me that I had two Columbia House accounts open (in additon to a TV account).
Seems that the 2nd ColHouse acct was opened in late December since I ordered ALOT of stuff last month. She thought that was why I was seeing no ch.com action.
She cancelled that 2nd account (as no activity was on it), and put a note on my account.
She said they check the applications/accounts nightly, and that hopefully, it should go through now. If the pending charge disappears, I should try once more. So...fingers crossed! I want in before Jan 31 ! (And, no, I didn't mention coupon codes, B1G1 etc).
:)

I'm up to 10 so far. :D

12 so far, all charged, none shipped. :(

Some great deals out there.

I got Angel-A and Interview for 9.98

Ummm, holy crap. I got six of my orders today! :)

And, in CH fashion, today I also got the shipping confirmation email for what I received today.

Just coming here to post the same thing. 6 packages, 6 emails a few hours a go.

I got my 30 Rock!

I got my 30 Rock!

I'd be very interested in finding out if anybody who had "30 Rock" disappear from an order actually got it.

Mine dropped off. I'm hoping I still get the "free" portion (as the order still exists with a balance of $0.00"), but I really wanted the cheap "30 Rock".

Also, I just got an email that 9 full/partial orders have shipped. Hopefully I'll see them soon.

I don't think I've seen these pre-orders mentioned (release date 03/25/08):

Bonnie and Clyde Special Edition (2-disc) - $12.58 Sale Price

Bonnie and Clyde Ultimate Collector's Edition (2-disc + hardcover book and pressbook) - $23.95 Special Club Price

I ordered the Ultimate CE and got 8 1/2: The Criterion Collection free.

I want to get in on this deal very badly, but my damn application still hasn't gone through. Arrrggghhhh... I've tried twice now, if this second one doesn't go through, I'm going to be quite upset, to say the least. Somebody should help me out if this doesn't work, even if I have to Paypal you some money to place the orders and have them ship to me.

I keep trying to get code:800230 to work, but every time I enter it this message comes up in my shopping cart with no prices showing:
"We're sorry! We are unable to display certain shopping cart information at this time. Please be assured that your order will be processed correctly and that we are working to fix this problem."
Any recommendations to get this to work.

Are you sure you're signed in to a CH.com account? I just logged into mine and entered the code with no problems. I then went to my regular Columbia House account and entered the code and received the same message you indicated.

Just when I think I will never spend another penny with Columbia House, they go and do something like this. I think I am at about 15 orders or so. Picked up a lot of dvd that I could never find this cheap.

Some other ideas are to combine free dvd with the Hogans Heroes or Odd Couple sets. They are $17.99 (except season 3 of odd couple). That brings those sets down big time.

Well, since the pending charge has disappeared from my credit card, I'm going back for one more try. Especially since the CSR put a note on my account earlier (or, at least I'm led to believe!). I figure, if I don't get in by 1/31, at least I tried.

Well, according to this new thread (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?p=8462750#post8462750) they aren't accepting new memberships into CH.com.
:(

I'd be very interested in finding out if anybody who had "30 Rock" disappear from an order actually got it.
30 Rock is back but the price is now $29.99, so I guess if it disappeared you better watch your orders. :down:

I know...I read that thread...sadly.
I'm holding out (slim) hope since I read through some older threads where this same thing was happening; people were getting letters saying no more applications, and then people were being accepted again. I think it was early '07.
Plus, I didn't get any letter in the mail...yet. :)
If it doesn't happen by 1/31, I'll just hope it happens sometimes in '08 and more codes come up!

Only two more days of the sale, and I really appreciated the Bonnie and Clyde suggestions. Here's some other titles that I don't think I've seen mentioned (or which may not have occured to you). Others: please post!

12 Angry Men: Angrier Edition... or whatever it is. SE CE, etc.
Darjeeling Limited
Heart is a Lonely Hunter
Eastern Promises

A dozen - so far.

It's time to raid all of those cheap back catalog titles!

Same here. I placed a bunch of orders using the suggested titles in the 1st post with some pre-orders. I've put together a wishlist of probably 2 dozen $5.19 titles...hard to turn them down at less than $3 each.

I'm so jealous of you ch.com people! I don't even *want* the Star Trek DVDs, but yet I'd get them. Such is the allure. Haha.

Can you post that list, please? I'm just looking for more ideas.
Most have been mentioned before: The Lord of the Rings titles, the 'Tom Clancy' series (Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, Clear & Present Danger), Tommy Boy, Aviator, Top Gun. I'm also interested in several others that I don't have: Blazing Saddles, Big Lebowski, Lean On Me, October Sky, Outbreak, Fletch Lives, Dave, Breakdown. As I've wondered around the site, I see lots of movies I've passed by dozens of times in the $5 Wal-mart bin...but to get 'em basically 2 for $5 is too good to pass up.

but to get 'em basically 2 for $5 is too good to pass up.

agreed. thanks for posting, cardsfan.



update: i had an order show up today. wasn't the first order i placed, but nice to see that they're going to come... i had my doubts at some points. parts of this deal seem to good to be true.

Also can use these sets to get a free movie:

The Mummy: The Legacy Collection 1932 Full Screen $17.99

For example
The Mummy: The Legacy Collection 1932 Full Screen $17.99
Beowulf Director's Cut (Pre-Order) free

For more ideas for around $10 sets to get something else for free, you have a few of the Coupling sets and two of The Newsroom sets as well I just found. I'm going through all of the season and box sets to see what else I can find. I'll edit each time I find something new:

EDIT:

I'm glad I didn't have much else to do tonight other than watch TV and goof off on CH.com for a while. I'm also coming across a few titles I either didn't know that CH carried or I didn't even know about period.

For example, I found Shakes the Clown for $9.98! :lol: I mean, it's Bob Goldthwait as an alcoholic party clown. How could that ever go wrong?

On a more serious note though, I found a little flick I had never heard of, Man of the Century, for $10. The reviews for it are pretty solid, and it's a premise that I'm very interested in. The DVDTalk review is "Recommended":

http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=4483

It's shot in B/W, about a guy named Johnny Twennies, who is in the modern world but acts like a guy straight out of the 1920's like you've seen in many movies. The list price isn't high enough to get most new releases for free, but it works perfectly to get things like the new Groundhog Day release for free.

Check out Roger Ebert's 3-star review for it:

http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19991105/REVIEWS/911050304/1023

Federico Fellini's Il Bidone is also $10, and it's usually about twice that everywhere else.

Thanks for the list, I added the titles to 1st post & made another preorder with one of your titles:
Hollywood Screen Legends Giftset $10.40 (haven't seen but thought I'd give them a try)
The Golden Compass 2 Disc Platinum Series (Pre-Order) (FREE)

A lot of good ideas all, my checking account hates you.

I have more DVDs than I'll ever need, but I can't seem to resist this deal. I hope CH continues it, a heck of a lot easier to just buy them this way over constantly re-cycling accounts.

My credit card company thought it odd that 20 orders had been placed in the last hour, so they shut me down.

Nice to know that they're looking out for fraud. I called and got it straightened out, but it was a good wake up call that perhaps I've ordered enough.

How did you find out? Did they call you? Or did you have problems placing orders?

I had the same thing go on. I have an Amazon Visa that I've had since 2003 with a credit limit that has been increased every year or so....

Anyway, I placed about 12 orders, then it cut me off. CH.com said something like, "Your card could not be authorized."

I called visa, easily straightened out....for a little while. After another quick three transactions, locked out again. I told Visa, "Assume that I'm going to have 50 transactions from these guys before the end of the month." They told me they would give me the "maximum access" (I think that just means lowering security levels so that red flags don't go off in the system).

I made another three orders and the exact same thing happened. Discouraged, I called back (third time in 40 minutes or so) and was told the same thing.

Since then, I haven't had any trouble, but I haven't placed that many more orders. I think just the string of orders from single vendor for small amounts looks dubious (and it is! Thank goodness for reuseable coupons!), but I can't speak for Trevor.

Yep, that's what happened to me, except I haven't tried placing more orders yet.

I may order more tomorrow, but I don't know, maybe 74 new DVDs is enough.

I had a problem around Christmas. I was making more purchasing than usual. It's nice to know your credit card company is watching out for you but embarrassing :blush: when you are in line and your card is declined for making a $10 purchase.

Basically, I'm in "fuck CH.com" mode right now. It's probably better for my wallet that this hasn't let me register, twice now, but I wanted to get in on this deal really bad. :(

Edit: Alright, my bank account is actually showing the $9.95 fee showing up now. I just have to hope that I get an email with my account info. by tomorrow. Pray for me fellas, lol.

Any recommendations for kids? I have a two month old. I have picked up most of the Scholastic DVDs that CH has (Good Night Gorilla, etc.) and a couple movies that I really liked (Iron Giant). For the most part, I'm not going to force him to watch something in particular as he gets older (Veggie Tales, etc.) but I wouldn't mind picking up some more classics with this sale. Suggestions?

Hey Kory...when you say your bank account is showing the 9.95...as pending transaction, or, as a transaction that's gone through?? I feel like I'm in the same boat as you! What date did you apply the 2nd time?

I called Columbia House and got the 'they're making changes' explanation, but, she hadn't heard anything specific what changes or, really, anything recently on the subject.

I guess it's technically pending, but this didn't even happen the first time I applied, so hey, I'm making progress.

I applied the second time sometime late (8pm-ish) on the 28th, after calling them and finding out that they had no record of me even applying the first time.

And nobody was helpful with me at all, either time I called. No suggestions, no friendly conversation to maybe talk with me about what was going wrong, nothing. This has been very discouraging so far.

I was pending for 7 days then it dropped off altogether. Damn, I really wanted in on this action......

I applied on the 23rd and have not heard anything back. So I assume my request for membership did not get accepted. That's okay, I can live with that.

But... worst case scenario for me would be that now that this sale is over, my membership suddenly becomes activated. The only reason I applied was to take advantage of this sale. If the sale is over, then I don't want to get approved now. If they do approve me now, can I say I changed my mind?

And miss the next sale?

I don't understand not wanting a membership. To fulfill is as cheap as a $5 DVD, and you get two to start for $10, so there is no negative to joining as far as I can see. Just keep it in case they have a deal this good again.

I hadn't seen this discussed: HD and Blu are part of the sale (as the one you pay for). I got both 3:10 and Departed and picked uppertier Criterions for my freebies.

It also bears repeating that with CH.com, there's never any 'monthly director's selections' to accept or decline. And as Trevor mentioned, it's very easy to fulfill the membership by buying a single title. Many, if not all of the $10 titles in the first post aren't bad deals by themselves. Or you can fulfill with a cheaper one. I've never given thought to closing my ch.com account and definitely wouldn't think about it in the future with the hopes of a sale/code like this coming along again!

agreed. no reason to cycle through these accounts. nice to have it around for the occasional deals and steals.

agreed. no reason to cycle through these accounts. nice to have it around for the occasional deals and steals.
And not to keep hammering on this point, but I joined with pretty much no intention of really using the account. But wanted one open "just in case."

Well that "just in case" just scored (cost?) me 74 DVDs (most TV sets or two disc releases) for less than $300.

I hadn't seen this discussed: HD and Blu are part of the sale (as the one you pay for). I got both 3:10 and Departed and picked uppertier Criterions for my freebies.

Yep, I've been thinking about a few of those. But I'm not quite at the point where I'd rather have the HD version and an overpriced Criterion for $22 versus the SD version and a TV set for $10.

Just examples, but basically its a $12 or so upgrade decision.

I was thinking the same thing...the month will end, I'll apply again in Feb and get in!
And I'll be very happy. I want the Columbo sets, and at $24 each with no shipping or tax, that's pretty much the cheapest I've seen them, even used.

Thanks for the Columbo suggestion. Was forgetting that, and I have a couple seasons to fill in.

Haven't used CH.com or Columbia House in months now (since I got Netflix & a PS3 to play Blu-rays, I am only buying a few Blu-rays every once in a while). Do any of these codes work with HD discs?

There is only one code in this thread, and it will give you a free SD w/ purchase of a HD.

There is only one code in this thread, and it will give you a free SD w/ purchase of a HD.

Although those who have cycled through multiple Columbia House accounts, that free SD only has a value of about $5.50. So, subtract that from the price of your HDM and decide if it still seems like a bargain. I'm sure it does to some. Not to me.

Still no luck. I'm genuinely kind of saddened by this, as this is maybe the best B1G1 I've ever seen. Does CH.com have these often?

No luck here either. Just wasn't meant to be.
You're all welcome for the Columbo suggestion, too!
You can repay me by handing over your ch.com membership for the tip. :)

Sigh.

Does CH.com have these often?
I think this is the first time.

:(... That means we'll either A) have to wait a while for another, or B) they'll have the kinks worked out and these deals won't work out as well for us. Booooo.

Watch them check their losses for the past month and then decide to never do this again. :lol:

Guess I'm done for now. Of my 26 orders, I managed to only mistakenly order a second copy of the same disc once.

I've been pretty careful, don't think I ordered anything twice. But I definitely did order the regular Bee Movie by accident, and I also probably ordered something(s) that I already own.

Exactly what happened to me (items remaining in the wishlist) causing me to order something twice - realized it as soon as I clicked on the place order button. After that, I was extremely careful but didn't have the problem anymore.

Bee Movie Jerry's 2-Disc Edition works with the $10.40 sets also

Thank you. Just verified that the code still works by ordering the "Laugh or I'll Shoot Collection" for $10.50 and gettung the 2-disc "Bee Movie" free. I didn't really care for "Bee Movie", but I think my son will love it. And, if I'm buying it, I need all the extras! :)

I'd catch myself loading yet another order, reminding myself, "dude, these aren't free ..." Still I ran through 15 orders.

The funny thing is that CH kept sending emails reminding me that my "Last Chance to Take a Free DVD" was at hand. It was like they was beggin' me.

Well, I wasn't able to enroll, but a member did place a few orders for me (thanks!). It's probably a good thing I didn't get in, as I would have ordered way too much (I can't resist cheap TV sets), but it would have been nice to be able to browse the prices. I had to go by peoples order's here to figure out what I wanted.

I ended up with 52 orders. :(

DAMN YOU COLUMBIA HOUSE AND DVD TALK!!!! :grumble: ;)

Just kidding, but seriously, I thought I was done with CH until I read this thread! I've had a CH.com account open since March of 2004 (when it was called DV2) but haven't bought anything in probably over 18 months. Then I see the coupon code.....

Honestly, I was reaching for stuff I really wanted from CH still, and I've slowed way down in DVD buying in general. Still when I can get 14 for $4.14 on average, I just can't turn that down! Thanks!

So you pretty much bought a DVD collection? :lol:

I placed a number of orders, 15 or so, and I thought that was a lot.

I caved last night and placed one final order as the clock ran out. MAN OF THE CENTURY and TOOTSIE SE. I tried ordering 30 ROCK and the BONNIE AND CLYDE COLLECTOR'S EDITION, but that didn't work. So I placed 6 orders, small by the standards of some, I know, but good enough for me.

To bad they did away with funcash.

Hey, if the end of Funcash means more deals like this, then I say good riddance.

I kinda went overboard...Fiddy Bucks may be just a "drop in the bucket" or "small change" to most people on here, but to me it's a big deal. Oh well, at least I can be proud that i used my debit card and didn't charge a penny of this....and that's a MAJOR change of habit for me!

Nonetheless, Thanks OP and all those who contributed!

So far I've received 22 of the 32 DVDs that I ordered. All that's left now are the few late orders I placed, and then the pre-orders. I wont have to buy hardly any DVDs, if any, for weeks now. :)

I got in on this deal for 4 orders. They are:

Live Free or Die Hard Collector's Edition - $20.99
Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix Special Edition (2 disc) - Free

The Natural Director's Cut - $9.99
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer - the Power Cosmic Edition - Free

Shrek the Third - $17.99
Evan Almighty - Free

Beowulf Director's Cut (pre-order) - $17.99
Sunshine - free

I've been wanting to get many of these via the regular club membership, but my last dozen or so applications have been denied. I paid a couple dollars more for some of these, but it was well worth it.

Heard a knock at my door just now. Arise to find a USPS box with 22 boxes from CH.

You'd think they could save some $ by combining shipments into one large box, and by not sending me 22 copies of the same inserts.

Guess I'm done for now. Of my 26 orders, I managed to only mistakenly order a second copy of the same disc once.

I lost track of mine.

You guys should have taken pictures! That might even be a record!

Got something weird going on here - anyone else experience something like this?

I placed a bunch orders with this sale/code. Like a few others, got a big tote full of 15 or so boxes a day or two ago. In addition to the ones I received this week, I had placed about 15 orders using the $5.18 titles. A number of those (about 9) had still been 'pending' on my ch.com account when I last looked. Just now I sign into my ch.com account and don't see them on there. But here's where it gets strange...for some reason I decide to log-in to my regular Columbia House account. I see the orders under my 'Outstanding Orders' on that account! But wait, it gets worse...they're listed with each DVD costing $5.18 (no freebies) with tax, shipping, the whole nine yards (fun cash earned as well).

I'm blown away by how this could have happened and what I might be able to do to fix it, if it doesn't take care of itself on its own. I saved all my e-mail confirmations I received from the orders placed. Unfortunately, those didn't include the prices/total. They would only prove the orders were placed 1/30 on my ch.com account instead of on 2/5 as my Columbia House account currently reflects.

I haven't seen any charges officially hit my credit card yet... You can bet I'll have my eye on it pretty closely over the next day or two. Anyone see this with their account(s) both with this sale or ever before?

Ouch. I think all mine have shipped (except a few pre-orders) and charged the right amount according to the invoices in the packages. Haven't checked my CC statement yet.

I think you'll be ok. If it doesn't sort itself out, you have proof that you ordered it from ch during the code period.

But I guess this is another reminder to all of us to always print our order screen when using codes and columbia house (or ch apparently).

Mine are showing up on my CHTV account and are being charged incorrect amounts (they are charging me for both DVDs). The headache begins...

My credit card shows the correct amounts.

wow they're charging you on different accounts then what you ordered from???? that's gotta be illegal...right???

Yeah. I got off the phone and have been pulling my order numbers from my email confirmation to fax back to them, but I have no idea how they are going to sort through this.

I have a normal col. house account, chtv., and ch.com. I received many orders just fine through ch.com

It seems that orders placed after a certain date (maybe they couldn't process the orders until after the coupon expired?) were somehow (???) fed into my col. house and chtv accounts.

The strangest thing is that the orders there don't correspond to the orders that I placed at ch.com.

For instance, say I purchased Family Guy vol. 1 and got DVD A free. Then I purchase Family Guy vol. 2 and got DVD B free. The orders at chtv will show something like:

order #1: family guy vols. 1 and 2
order #2: DVD A and DVD B

Then it charges me as if I placed those orders. That is, I pay the full chtv prices for Family guy 1 and 2, then DVDs A&B.

Obviously, this could be a little bit of a fight. I have the hope that I fax them 50 pages of stuff (I made a ton of orders) and they just can't figure out what to do, so they comp. it. We'll see. I'll let you know what happens... I'm happy that most of you were unaffected, but it would be nice if I didn't have to forge new ground with the CH people. Hopefully this will make it easier for other people with similar problems.

I initially spoke to Melody Johnson, and now I will be faxing stuff to her supervisor Amy Bishop. Do I have time for this shit? Argh....

I hate to hear that for some of you guys, ouch. My accounts look fine, thank God.

Keep me posted cgray if you get any kind of immediate response. I haven't had the time to make some calls with the issues to my accounts. The orders that moved to my regular Columbia House account all say 'awaiting credit approval' - nothing has been charged yet. Another strange detail is they reflect as orders placed 'by mail' instead of a 'web' order.

Same here. I believe it would help my case out if you called up and talked to the supervisor, telling her that the same thing happened to you. I'm not even totally convinced they believe me at this point. Anyway, the more people that she hears about it from the better mechanism they'll put in place for remedying the problem.

The number that I had called was the help number from the CHTV website: 1-800-262-2001. Supervisor was Amy Bishop.

Good luck!

It may be because they're closing down CH.com, or at least I think. I applied and never got accepted, and I just got a letter yesterday saying the reason they couldn't accept me is because they're shutting down CH.com and it'll now be CHDVD.com or something, and they sent me a forum to sign up for the subscription crap. I'd type up exactly what the letter said, but I blew my nose in it and threw it away.

I just got accepted at CH.com, unfortunately too late for the big sale. I hope they do this again but, if not, I guess there are still good deals to be had.

Wow. How and when did you apply? Thanks.
I applied Wednesday on the internet.

WTF. Time to try again it seems...

update on my erroneous credit card charges and CH/CHTV/Col House acct. screwups:

Received this email this morning:

Subject: Error on Large Order

Thank you for your fax regarding the errors made on your large CH.Com
order.

Amy Bishop has asked me to look into this for you.

Due to the number of items that are involved, I am going to have to get
some further information before I can be assured that I am giving you
sufficient credit.

I truly regret the delay this causes.

Please allow approximately one week for this to be resolved.

I tried to call last night but it was too late to get a live person on the phone. I'll have some time tomorrow during the day to follow-up. My credit card just got charged for the amounts. My 9 orders should have cost me between $45-50. Instead I've been charged $135-140. :( :mad:

That's true, but the old version of Trading Places is in that box set, not the most recent release. Right?
Trading Places "Looking Good, Feeling Good" Edition is finally on there. Maybe next sale. Selection # 4887402

Made my 1st connection with a live person today concerning the recent fiasco with my Columbia House accounts. I was initially told to return all the movies once they arrived and then to re-order them through ch.com - then after I was put on hold for a bit, she returned to tell me to keep the movies, and send them an e-mail with all the documentation and they'd make an adjustment. This should be interesting.

Got my shipping notice today for the DVDs. Of course, I feel very confident they'll at least refund me all shipping costs associated with the order, since I wouldn't have paid anything for s/h at ch.com. Convincing them that half of the DVDs they're sending me should be free may be a different story. My documentation consists of the other orders I placed that went through fine.

Another irritating problem - my initial ch.com orders were to be sent to my work address (didn't want them exposed to the weather while sitting outside at my house since the large order wouldn't fit in my mailbox and I likely wouldn't be home when they arrived). When the order shifted to my regular account, it changed the order to my home address.

Best case scenario for me would be for them to make the proper adjustment to my credit card AND leave the $36 in funcash the orders earned on my regular account.

If they refuse to honor the b1g1 code/sale, I'll be faced with another dilemma. I've held off buying all these titles for $5.xx, but couldn't pass 'em up when I could get them for less than $3. So do I just send them all back? Hopefully I don't have to make that choice.

Well, I've recieved almost all of my orders now. I just got Across the Universe and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner today, and the only thing I'm waiting on now is Slipstream. :)

I only placed 7 orders total. The last order I placed arrived this week although it is still pending on the site, while an earlier order that had already shipped still hasn't arrived. Go figure.

Man, this is turning out to be a huge pain...

Per my conversation with an associate on the 12th, I sent a long e-mail outlining my problem. I get a response indicating 'Your items were shipped, please allow up to 4 weeks for them to arrive." I replied asking to read my e-mail again because I wasn't complaining that I hadn't received the DVDs, but rather my ch.com orders had disappeared and reappeared on a different account days later at a higher price.

The latest response: "The terms of our special sale required you to buy one selection at the regular Club price of $19.95 or higher to receive additional selections at our special sale prices. Although we offer different promotions periodically, we are unable to adjust the same unless your order was submitted under a special promotion."

:hscratch:

I'm actually thinking my best recourse might be to contact my credit card company and initiate a charge back. Columbia House is showing I placed a mail order on 2/5 which would be impossible to prove since it never happened. The charges to my credit card were definitely unauthorized. I may wait first to see what happens with your case, cgray. If the supervisor you mentioned comes through, it may be worth my time to make another phone call.

It may be because they're closing down CH.com, or at least I think.

i got the same letter after i tried a couple of weeks ago. said they were closing down ch.com.

I may wait first to see what happens with your case, cgray. If the supervisor you mentioned comes through, it may be worth my time to make another phone call.

Again, I'm not sure why you wouldn't go this route immediately. You are guaranteed to talk to somebody who is aware of the problem. By talking to her, she becomes aware that it is a bigger problem than just one person, and it therefore more likely to implement a fair and serious plan to resolve those problems. On the other hand, if you do not contact her, you are making it more likely that she will say, "Ah, this is just one customer, so what do we really care? We're closing down ch.com anyway." A negative result for me makes it more likely that there will be a negative result for you, no?

Anyway, that's just the way I see it. If you don't want to call, that's fine. I'm just saying that I think a bandwagon effect would be helpful here.

Completely understand your thinking. Guess my hesitation comes from not wanting to draw 'extra attention' to the b1g1 free code that was discovered to work on the ch.com accounts. It already has been strange to call in with concerns about 9 of my 30 something individual orders. I keep waiting for someone to question how I obtained this code or special sale, since from the beginning it was a sale/code that almost seemed too good to be true. Don't want to find myself 'blacklisted' for abusing something I shouldn't have had access to in the first place. Perhaps I'm thinking too much...

I'll probably proceed with a call to the supervisor. The route I've taken thus far hasn't been successful.

Yeah, I understand. I kind of bit the bullet with that--I think I had 30 orders or so, too... Quite a few of them included the same title (sell one, keep one), so that was awkward. I didn't have problems with all of them, but since it was impossible for me to track which e.g. Taxi Driver was incorrectly sent over to my CHTV account (because, as I stated above, my CH.com orders weren't even carried over 1:1, but had been paired with different orders), I ended up giving them information on every order I had placed through the code. Hope that won't come back to bite me, but looks like CH.com isn't long for the future anyway.

Well, lookie here...got into CH.com today. Huh. Will wonders never cease (applied for a 4th time this past Friday).

Bring on the codes! :)
