[This thread supersedes Part III (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=511916), which has become quite long.]


This thread is intended as a place to list Sale Offer Codes that may be of interest to other Columbia House DVD Club members.

Sale offer codes differ from Enrollment codes. To learn about the best Enrollment codes please check out the CH Enrollment Codes Part II (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=480475) Thread.

thejester and LKRUNNELS have been kind enough to do some code trawling for us in recent months. Thanks!


FAQs:

Q: What is a "sale offer code"?

A: Columbia House offers a variety of promotional offers and sales to its members. Some are worthless but others can be terrific deals if properly used. Sale offers are designated by a six digit number beginning with "80", for example 803048.


Q: Will a sale offer code work on MY account?

A: Perhaps. In the past offer codes were strictly limited to the accounts that Columbia House assigned them to. Then we started finding numerous codes that would work on most or all accounts. Use of codes is strictly a "YMMV" ("Your Mileage May Vary") situation.


Q: Will a Sale offer code work on my TV Edition Club account?

A: Usually; same as with regular DVD Club accounts. TV Edition Club accounts have exactly the same fulfillment requirements and sale offers as regular DVD Club accounts.


Q: Will a Sale offer code work on my CH.com account?

A: Sorry, No. CH.com accounts rarely utilize sale offers of any kind. They are designed to be simple, with free shipping all the time and no Director's Selections to fuss with. But average DVD costs are substantially higher than properly optimized regular DVD club accounts; that's the price one pays for convenience.


Q: How do I enter a sale offer code?

A: Log-in to your account. At the top of the page will be your current sale offer. Click on "details" and you will get an explanation of your current offer. If you click on the "Looking for the Offer in Your Mailing?" link, it will take you to a place to enter your sale offer code. This is described in more detail in The "How do I enter a code" answer! (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-clubs/539113-how-do-i-enter-code-answer.html) thread.


Q: How long do sale offers last?

A: In the past, sale offers have lasted from two days or so to several weeks. Some codes have expired and then been resurrected weeks or months later. If you spot a code you want to use and it works on your account, remember this: "You snooze, you lose".


Q: Where do I find the BEST sale offer codes?

A: You should be able to find the better codes posted on the last page or two of this thread. That's the purpose of this thread. Certain prized sale offers may be posted in their own threads and draw much discussion.


Q: I got a sale offer in an e-mail; how do I find out what the code is?

A: Using a browser like Internet Explorer, click on the e-mail and then partway through the page loading process stop the load. If you time it correctly, you will see an interim URL and it will have the sale offer code embedded in it: 80xxxx. It takes practice to stop the page load at the correct time. This method doesn't seem to work with current version of the Firefox browser. I am uncertain if it will work with other browsers, such as Safari.

While you don't need the code to use the sale offer (just clicking on your e-mail is enough), by posting the code here others can try it to see if it will work on their accounts.


Q: What are some good sale offers?

A: The most highly prized sale offers here are B1G1F (also abbreviated BOGOF), which stands for "Buy One Get One Free", and various forms of "Free Shipping". Some offer codes can include both B1G1F and free shipping. A recent (3/27/08) code offered B1G4F (plus shipping). Using such a code can lead to per disc averages as low as $4.39 and many of the purchases can be newer titles or 2 disc Special Editions not yet available for enrollment. For fulfilling an account, it doesn’t get any better than that.


Q: I have free shipping on my account, why isn't my box set getting free shipping?

A: Columbia House used to include box sets, and other "Special" priced DVDs in free shipping offers but this is no longer allowed except on rare occasions. So, free shipping usually applies only to regular and sale priced DVDs or HD discs. Free shipping is not allowed on Funcash purchases.


Q: I have a B1G1F sale offer on my account, can I buy a box set or a Pre-order using it?

A: Yes and No. You can't get box sets and Pre-orders (usually) as freebies, but you can use one to qualify for a free regular DVD that is priced the same as, or less than, the qualifying purchase (and the qualifying purchase will count for fulfillment if it is priced at $19.95 or more). An exception to this general rule is that pre-orders often become available as freebies a week or so before release date.


Q: I have a B1G1F sale offer on my account, can I buy a Blu-ray Disc or HD DVD using it?

A: Yes and No. You can't get High Definition disc (usually) as a freebie, but you can use one to qualify for a free regular DVD that is priced the same as, or less than, the qualifying purchase (and the qualifying purchase will count for fulfillment if it is priced at $19.95 or more). Columbia House did have a B1G1F sale on HD discs at one time, so it is possible that they may have future sales of that kind.


Q: I have a B1G1F offer on my account, can I get more than one free DVD?

A: Sometimes. Some sale offers allow the purchase of more than one free DVD, others limit the account to just one freebie per order.


Q: Can I use a B1G1F offer more than once?

A: Yes, the offers can be used on as many separate orders as you want until they expire.


Q: My account has "Buy one get 50% (or 60%) off". Is this a good deal?

A: No. Those are the standard offers most accounts get and they are completely worthless. Why? Because the sale DVDs don't count for fulfillment yet they cost more than the average DVD cost in a well-optimized account (currently about $4.80 per DVD using a B1G1F plus free shipping sale offer [7-2-07]).

Please understand that it is the business of Columbia House to entice you to spend more money on DVDs than you otherwise would. So, they throw sale offers at you that sound good but really aren't, because they up the average cost of the DVDs that you buy. And they throw "Director's Selections" at you in the hope that you forget to decline them (which is very easy to do on-line). For best results, learn the Clubs Forum "mantra": "Enroll, fulfill, cancel, repeat". Buying the minimum required DVDs after enrolling usually leads to the lowest average cost of DVDs.


Q: Are there any other things I should know about sale offers?

A: Yes, you should be aware that when using complicated sale offers like B1G1F, Columbia House sometimes screws them up and you will be left trying to sort it out after the fact. You might even have to send back the order so that you can start over with a clean slate. If you are using a sale offer code that was not on your account you are in a weak position when it comes to explaining to a CSR (Customer Service Representative) why they made a mistake with your order and that they should fix it. Please be aware of this.

Most of us have no trouble with our orders but you can be assured that those who do will be vociferous when posting their bad experiences in this forum. When correcting a mistake it is best to "let the dust settle" for a few days rather than rush and have an order screwed up even more.


If you have any additional questions about sale offer codes, please feel free to post them here.

As most will be aware, the topic under discussion was a B1G4F deal, as mentioned in post 976 (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?p=8610393#post8610393) of Part III.

thx for making Pt. IV

two more of my b1g4 orders shipped on the 4th. just got the email from CH today.

*edit*

thanks, D.K. i'll be checking at least once a day.

I am currently running codes old and new and will post the results. It's obvious that they go up and down all the time espically the good ones. So we will see what I get.

I listed Dead codes as well so when people go back and check older codes the have some basis. If this is too much I will delete the Dead codes, but this is all I ran for now.

I just got my second order from the b1g4 code. I got the shipping notice today, so that was a nice surprise.

I placed about 10 orders with the code, but I left in the xx. Didn't really think about it until I saw a post about replacing the xx with "80" and something else. They all went through all right, but now I have a couple of pending refunds ....


Should I be worried ... is this normal?

Is there any chance of another B1G4 code coming out? The offer is suppose to be available until the 11th. Do you think they will activate it one more time before the 11th?

Is there any way to get your new account number before you get your enrollment package?

Drama king..curious as to see all codes begin with 80, when the b1g4 was an 87 code.

Is your script adjustable or?

Every time I used the b1g4 code, I used xx_ _ _ _ (either of the fantastic codes).

Drama king..curious as to see all codes begin with 80, when the b1g4 was an 87 code.

It started as an 80 code, died, came back, died, then 87 became active... xx also worked.

I just checked, and my account has been closed. I made two orders with the B1G4 code, my first one I got today and my second one was listed as "awaiting stock" yesterday. Anyone else have this happen?

Nick, did you perhaps order a bunch of duplicate titles?

I did 4 orders.
2 are 'awaiting credit approval'
Those same 2 are listed as pending on different lines as well.
Of the other 2, one has an order # assigned, and the other doesn't and both show pending.

BUT...I've learned never to trust my account status page. Things sometime never show up there but I still get my DVDs...each and every one!

Nick, did you perhaps order a bunch of duplicate titles?

Never mind, it works now...that was odd.

Let's get this thing working 1 more time. I need a few more random dvds. Do your thing, Jester.

Sorry guys. This looks to be dead (for now).

Oh, Drama King, you're missing a few codes. ;) There are currently 616 total codes to be actively checking for.

616 wow....I don't have the list I just found what I could in old posts....Oh and I tried 87 on most of them or xx, but they were origanlyy listed as 80's in the III forum... Jester I will try to get better next time. I did what I knew....WOW 616 I am not even close.

Just........1 more order.............code......

I had $22 fun cash an hour ago. I was waiting for another order to clear before making another FC purchase. Now I only have $12. ...well played, Columbia House.

It started as an 80 code, died, came back, died, then 87 became active... xx also worked.

Anyone know CPR?

Anyone know CPR?

<Ahem>Paging Dr. Jester!!!!!!!!!!!!

When it comes to codes, Jester is either a certified heart specialist or a faith healer. You know that in hospitals they call certain 'codes' when a patient takes a sudden turn for the worse. The J-Man is at the head of the first-response team.

I'm just hoping that the evil geek squad at Columbia is still messing with us & will dangle one of the codes in front of us for a few hours this week just for kicks so they can sit back & enjoy the feeding frenzy (and the anxiety from us while we wonder how long the code will last, how to maximize the deals, etc.). Think of the mastermind in Saw who got his sadistic kicks from watching the painful choices to be made...that's probably the reactions of some of the CH guys. After all, they have to do something to relieve the monotony. C'mon, CH guys...throw us another code, just like the meanies in Rio Bravo throwing change into the spitoon just to watch drunken deputy Dean Martin have to fish it out in order to get a drink. When it comes to codes, I have no pride...will crawl on my belly like a garter snake just for taste of the code!

Actually, for once I thought I had gotten everything I wanted...then got an email today from Amazon saying a the order for a couple of sets I had ordered from an Amazon merchant had been cancelled. I ordered them last Friday after the first code died & it seemed unlikely that we'd get a fourth shot at the sale. Had the jerks (a store) informed me and the other 30-40 customers who evidently received the same treatment, according to the negative feedback over the past 3 days (the seller's feedback dropped from 98% to 91% over the weekend), I could have ordered the sets Monday morning. Another valuable lesson learned.

New code or not, this has been a great sale. Hope we get a repeat sometime. Thanks again, Jester. Columbia sure got a lot of my $ that would have gone to Best Buy, DD, Amazon, etc. I hope they realize that the occasional opportunity like this encourages customers to stay with the club, purchase more during other times, etc. I got a couple of floaters that were very slightly scuffed but didn't even consider returning them...feel like CH has done me a big favor, so why complain? Maybe we are somewhat like the "deadbeats" who pay off their credit cards (thus not earning any money for the CC company), but I have to think that CH sees an increase in customer loyalty & increased buying habits as a result of these codes.

Is is true that NBC is canceling ER and replacing it with a new show called CH? :)

does this mean there is another b1g4 code...

CH was so much better than ER..... still not on DVD, right?

im expectint that this is the exception and not the rule, but damn i hope to see some more codes that kick as much ass as this sale did

i kinda got the vibe from the people posting about the email that this was almost like a "re-enlist today!" kind of test code where you could get a killer deal like this, if you agreed to more commitments. This would be an interesting thing for CH to start offering people with fufilled accounts. Granted the commitment requirement didnt hit on this code [was able to successfully cancel my account upon recieving my orders] but that's not to say this wont happen with a future b1g4 code. I would probibly be willing to take a renewed commitment for a b1g4 freeship code....it would save a lot of the "will i be accepted after 6 tries?" kind of guesswork from account cycling.

I did this special codes offer 10 times over the weekend. thanks DVD Talk for the code and btw Soylent Green is awaiting stock along with Blade Runner blu-ray.

My awaiting stock orders shipped today so if you were worried about that status, it still has gone through for me.

My awaiting stock orders shipped today so if you were worried about that status, it still has gone through for me.

Yep, I just checked my email as well and my "awaiting stock" order has shipped. I wish I had taken more advantage of this sale. There still a few of the $14-$20 set I want but I didnt want to get too greedy incase something went wrong.

The two preorders I added, Walk Hard, which arrived today, and TWBB, which hasn't, are listed as Pending on my account. The rest of my first 2 orders have arrived as well.

Order 3 is listed as Awaiting Credit Approval, which is odd because I paid for that order with the same card as the first 2.

My order placed on the 7th says "awaiting credit approval" so I'm not sure what that means. Also that order has a duplicate order with the same titles right above it and it says, "to be assigned" under order number and "****" under total charged. I'm not sure what to think of any of this, can anyone help clarify?

Thanks,
Alfred

"Awating Credit Approval" means they are waiting on the CC charge to be approved. This can actually still be showing this status online *after* you receive the shipment! If you are on "Bill Me" it means your account is being verified for the maximum amount that can be billed before shipping. If you exceed the "minimum" for this account (seems to be ~30 for a "new" account) you will be sent a card asking for payment before they will ship.

The duplicate order with the ***** on one is OK. That sometimes happens. The order with the number is correct and should have the correct amount for when it was originally placed. The one with ***** is the original order. It will "fall off" in a few days.

616 wow....I don't have the list I just found what I could in old posts....Oh and I tried 87 on most of them or xx, but they were origanlyy listed as 80's in the III forum... Jester I will try to get better next time. I did what I knew....WOW 616 I am not even close.
What you searched on was good. Those were probably codes that CH has been using since I started doing my searches & actually activated at one time or another. My # comes from the codes CH has ever activated (from my method) and some others that were "one-use-only" codes - activated, de-activated after a time & dropped from their system.

I also look thru all 10,000 possible combinations - for those "hidden" gems. In this case, I truly found one - many days before CH emailed anyone. Finding one like this/these was unexpected.

I think we have life again...that first code...

Not working for me yet.

No. They're still down. All 3 combos. Hopefully before the 11th It'll go back up.

Not woking for me either. The link from the email that has the commitment with it hasn't worked in a few days either.

So weird...I just had it working...and then I logged out...and now not working.
I swear it was!

Just so you know, there is a reason why the 1st code isn't working. Hint: Any java people out there?

lol, if only one of the codes didn't have 1245 in the string. :P

Just so you know, there is a reason why the 1st code isn't working. Hint: Any java people out there?
hmmmm

if(document.form2.onlineStr.value.substring(2)=='1245')
document.form2.onlineStr.value = "";
return true;
}

??

Yes, it is. If you know a little html, and properly create a string, you can "re-activate" it. That is, until they really turn it off - like they did the 2nd code.

Are you sure that that code wasn't a quick fix that they put in place before they deactivated 801245? Just because you can get past their java fix doesn't mean the code is active.

...please...speak more of this Java Fix.

If it is coded by the site programmer, I can't see any way to bypass or block access to that function. If there was, there would just be anarchy.

Prove me wrong! ...then I shall order again.

I never said I could "get past their java". I was mearly suggesting doing what was the original function - w/out the java being there.

Hint: Just look at the url after putting in another good code - ie. 801888.

my blade runner blu-rays has been charged to my credit card, so I now assume they are in stock.

you shouldn't have a problem closing that account

Nothing to worry about, answered in CH's FAQ.

all i see is

12. What happens if I have a negative FunCash balance?

If for some reason, such as a return of an item, you create a negative FunCash balance you may offset the negative balance by making a purchase.

i didn't return anything.... my balance is -$30

i don't really care too much since my fc order has already shipped
and since i got pretty much everything i wanted from CH during b1g4 i'll cancel this account soon anyway...

it is weird though

Both of my B1G4 free orders shipped today (except 2 pre-orders). Question, did most people choose expedited shipping or media mail? Some people seemed to have gotten their orders really fast. Guess it just depends where you live.

regular for me

but the warehouse mine ship from are in SC and I'm in VA so they only take two days, maximum to get to me

Why anyone would choose expedited shipping is beyond me. I believe most of us are cheap...err... frugal and see no need in wasting a few bucks for nothing. ;)

Works for me. Tried just now & it still works.

Once you put a code in normally, you don't have to "mess with" the resulting URL that refreshes your page. You just have to add something to it. If you look in the "enter code" page(source), you can gleam what is needed.

I thought someone here with web exp. would be able to catch this?

I feel like an idiot for not seeing whatever you are. Trying what I thought it was, and still....I either get asked to re-login or get a denied code screen. I gave up until you posted that! Now I'm going to get a headache. =)

So, I put in any working code, then add to the existing URL that generates?

Works for me. Tried just now & it still works.

Once you put a code in normally, you don't have to "mess with" the resulting URL that refreshes your page. You just have to add something to it. If you look in the "enter code" page(source), you can gleam what is needed.

OK, I got it to show the offer, but I haven't placed an order yet. Any reason I should not do so?

Don't change the URL, just add to it. Once you submit a good code, the url given back is good - just lacking what you need for the offer you want.

Also, you have to stay within the same session of IE - no new windows. New tabs are ok, just no windows. You CH session is tied to the IE session. Go into new window & you risk being "logged out".

It does seem to work. That's pretty shoddy on their part. Why not disable it the "right" way? Anyhow, I'm not sure if I want to tempt fate...

Maybe because a email link might resolve to the same code - without the java. Also could be for their CSRs?

The only version of the 1st code I see really disabled is 80.

Don't see why not. I did yesterday.

Could someone please just PM me the actual trick. All this dodging around it is giving me a headache and I don't have time to go buy a Java for Dummies book.

My brain hates me right now.

yeah, agreed

i've pored through the code, and the java and i have no idea what you're talking about

tried changing the pin and various other things... what would i add to the URL?

i design sites for a living and i'm stumped... ???

http://earthissquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/bush-confused.jpg

I'm with Zombeaner. Could someone PM me the trick? This is all very interesting, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Ok, if I need to s.p.e.l.l...i.t...o.u.t.

Add - "&onlineStr=xxxxxxxx" to the end - after submitting a good code. Replacing the x(s) of course.

i would like to buy you a beer, sir

you are a man among men

verily it is so

....ugh. You're fantastic. I don't know how I missed that!

P.S. I just peed a little.

P.S. I Love You & Diary of the Dead are available. =D

damnit, this code isn't working with sets that are cheap like the last one was.

and for those trying to figure this code out do this:

- enter 801888 (or any other working code)
- once you submit that code paste "&onlineStr=xxxxxx" to the end of the url and change the x's to the b1g4 code and don't include the quotations.

That's true, but it is working with pre-orders just fine.

"Nothing to worry about, answered in CH's FAQ."

all i see is

12. What happens if I have a negative FunCash balance?

If for some reason, such as a return of an item, you create a negative FunCash balance you may offset the negative balance by making a purchase.

i didn't return anything.... my balance is -$30




Well, I still say: worry not! It's happened to me before a few times (and I've been a member for many years). It happens sometimes for a short period of time after placing an order. I don't know the exact reason (I could've sworn the FAQ covered it, sorry), but give it a few days and your balance should be right as rain.

cool, thanks! :)

Wait, the code works if you do what?

(from CH email)

806096= B1 get 60% + Double FC

I'm following the directions but can't get it to work. Which b1g4 code do we enter in place of the x's?

Nevermind, got it.

Not working for me. I have a funny feeling it has something to do with my browser because I've had no problem before using this method to watch NBA games over the internet

not workin for me either.

got it....871245

Working for me Yay. Not sure there's anything I really want that bad though. Hmmmm.

Why exactly would they still have it active like this? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Not working for me either, and I think i'm doing everything according to what I'm supposed to be.

Got it to work just fine, but until Cloverfield is free I don't need it.
:( :lol:

Placed one more order. This seriously needs to be my last. Don't even know how I'm gonna pay for all this haha. Better start batting my lashes at hubby. :)

Amazing work, jester, but I don't think I'll be placing another order. Not criticizing or judging anyone who takes advantage of it, but this feels more like a hack than a legit code to me and I feel like I've pushed my (notoriously poor) luck enough as is. Besides, there really isn't anything left that I really want! This forum has spoiled me!

I got it now. I needed to close out of Firefox and restart I think.

Order 6 placed. I can't possibly need anything else, can I?

Not judging either:), but you might want to keep this method on the down-low. There was a trick a few years back where you could manually enter any box set that you wanted as an enrollment selection for the TV Club(I did it a couple of times). Geoff got wind of it and locked the thread and gave out a few warnings.

Wow.Here's hoping that deal happens again.Of course,it is extremely unlikely.
But,as Phil Hartman said to Nancy Kerrigan,"A man can dream..".

OK, I realized I was not going to get Cloverfield and Starting Out in the Evening before the code officially expired and since I finally figured out the "trick" I got:

But,as Phil Hartman said to Nancy Kerrigan,"A man can dream..".
It wasn't a deal.:D

I had 5 titles in the cart, all ready to order, but I changed my mind. I don't want to place an order just cuz it's a friggin bargain. My account is already fulfilled, and they aren't titles I need to own, so I will pass. If a similar code exists a few weeks from now, I'll probably have things to order...

I just got a bunch of double-disc Chaplin amongst other stuff.

I wonder why A King in New York/a Woman of Paris is a "Special Club Price." Because it is never available as a freebie, I still don't have it. I know I could pay for it, but I'd rather not... And of course the price is currently $17, so you can't even use it as the Buy 1 portion...

Oh yeah, that Diary of the Dead. Pure "classic" ;)You like 13 Going On 30. Sit down. :)

You like 13 Going On 30. Sit down. :)
Actually, I do... I love Jennifer Garner... Stupid Ben Affleck ruined my chances...

So, basically, this code is still only 'good' til April 11, no? Or, is it around til CH catches on...

i have tried all day and neither of the b1g4 codes work so is it still dead.. or is there a new trick...

Is there a new trick?

You have to hold down Shift - Ctrl - Esc while typing in the new code to get it working.

Also try holding your breath.

Thats funny.

Is there a new trick?
#1 The first rule of new trick is, you do not talk about new trick.

#2 - The second rule of new trick is, you DO NOT talk about new trick.

btw still works.

Will this order not ship until Juno comes out? I have another b1g4 order with Rambo on blu-ray so will I have to wait till that movie is released before they ship my order?

Thanks in advance!

Puma

PumaBeing that it's Thursday and Juno comes out this Tuesday, I don't think that you have anything to worry about.-wink-

Since you are being charged a shipping fee for each individual title, they should ship them out as they become available. You shouldn't have to wait for Rambo.

can someone pm me the new trick?

They usually ship the one's that are available now. Pre-orders will ship seperately, in my case at least. I have Rambo pre-ordered as well, and they shipped my freebie a while back.

You have to hold down Shift - Ctrl - Esc while typing in the new code to get it working.

Also try holding your breath.

This thing has been explained IN DETAIL, multiple times in the past few posts. Please read back a little bit. =D

Also, it only seems to work with me if I am only wearing 1 sock.

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start.

That is the ultimate code.

Is there really anyone here who thinks that altering URLs, to take advantage of sale offers that Columbia House is trying to block, is NOT a violation of the forum rule bolded above?

Our use of sale offer codes is something of a gray area that the Forum administrators have let slide. But hacking URLs is defrauding CH, plain and simple. Please don't discuss it anymore. IMHO, continued access to this forum is more important than exploiting a flaw in CH code to get some deals. And it is possible that DVD Talk will close this forum if this sort of thing continues.

As lizard so eloquently put it, don't break the forum rules. If you so choose do so, don't post about it online. As talked about in the past, it's probably CH does look here. Whether or not they choose to do anything about what goes on here is besides the point. Behave, or be gone. Thank you.

that's all well and good... but thejester is STILL my freakin hero

*moonwalks*

Can someone please PM me with the code?

Thank you!!!

Can someone please PM me with the code?

Thank you!!!
You're joking, right? Have you read the last few posts?

*has no morals*

Did any of you order Upright Citizens Brigade: The Complete First Season? I used that as my B1 the last time I used the code (the real code, I didn't bother with the most recent thing) and all four of the free ones have shipped, but nothing is happening with UCB yet.

I received my freebies today but have yet to receive shipping confirmation on CET3K Ultimate,which was my full price pick.

Got all my stuff today from my one order:

Beowulf (HD DVD)
Sweeney Todd: SE
Water Horse: SE
There Will Be Blood: SE
The Mist: CE

Sweet haul for $38, I would have done more but I just don't want regular DVDs much at this point.

I suppose I should pay them now. :D2:

Thanks for posting these great b1g4 codes over the past weeks. As a bonus in case anyone's interested - if you fill out the 1 minute survey from bizrate upon checkout it will take you to a bunch of magazine subscriptions for $2/year each. I had done this in the past before for Entertainment Weekly and Time and through CH I'e added 4 years to each subscription :)

Got 3 more of my freebies today, There Will Be Blood, Walk Hard, and Water Horse. Only waiting on 24 more titles, with half of them having already shipped.

I've gottne everything EXCEPI for TWBB. My other preorder, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, arrived on Tuesday, but TWBB is MIA. How long should I wait before asking where it is?

FAQ says most orders are received in one week. I got it pretty quick because they shipped standard (whatever that is) mail. When they ship more than one in a box, I've noticed they ship media mail which takes longer. What method of shipping did it say in your shipment email?

Standard shipping.

Hey how are some of you guys getting your orders shipped with no tax? Did I miss something in the FAQ section? I swear I'm not trying to be a nuisance!

Oh yeah I'm in TX.

I'm sure someone here will know the details, but basically.. some states have to pay tax and some don't. the CH faq says

5. Do you charge tax?

We do collect tax in states where applicable. That tax is paid to your state and/or local tax authorities. Many states require us to collect tax on the total cost of your order, including shipping and processing.

laws on internet purchases vary from state to state

Standard as in ? First class?

can anyone send me the code so i can try to get a last minute order in..thanks...

This has just gone supernova...it's now a site-wide free shipping weekend (sets not included)....

You can now bring your average cost down below $5 / DVD without breaking a sweat.

I must resist....argh :)

Placed two orders just now.

Free shipping only works if you pay immediately with a Credit Card.

I hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot by choosing Bill Me for my one order.

Actually, free shipping seems completely random. Sometimes it'll show up, sometimes it will not.

so i'm looking at my bank account and it appears they've double charged me for at least one order. wtf is that about? anyone had this problem before?

as for pre-orders, they also charged me the full amount -$2.99 for the shipping of Juno...so they will be sending out everything but preorders and then charge you the shipping when those are sent.

Wow free shipping this is crazy...Anyway for those waiting on the Blade Runner Blu Ray I got mine yesterday and I got my Dewey on Wed.

Yeah, they charged me for shipping on an HD-DVD (which was supposed to be free). But I'm scared to call them, since they may notice that I didn't get 3 requirements added to my account from the B1G4F. I think I'm just gonna eat the $1.99 and keep my mouth shut...

I was working on putting an order together when I noticed that my cart now shows full price for all titles. The banner still shows the B1G4 offer, but none of the titles are showing up as FREE. Can anyone else confirm?

OK, my bad! I was trying to put an order where all 5 titles were $14.95. I forgot that one of them needs to be $19.95 or greater. Sorry for the worry.

Standard as in ? First class?Standard as in "Media Mail", formerly known as "Special Standard" or "Book Rate".

Columbia House ships most orders via Media Mail unless an additional charge is paid.

Ah okay. Seems like single orders are shipped faster versus multiple dvds in one box.

Can anybody get Free Shipping to come up with the B1G4 deal?

I've placed three orders and only one of them had the free shipping. The other times, I've been hit with a $6.99 charge.

I've placed three orders and only one of them had the free shipping. The other times, I've been hit with a $6.99 charge.You had to of ordered a set for the shipping to be $6.99. Box sets(Special Club Price) are excluded from free shipping.

Uurp, I think I'm full for now. May go back later for a "bucket"?

Only placed 4 orders today - all for $21.60 each. Comes out to $4.32 each - not bad for an already fulfilled account.

Don't know what happened to yours. All of mine arrived yesterday - TWBB SE, WH SE, and Water Horse SE - all with expidited(by CH) shipping labels on them and in their own individual boxes.

I was starting to get bummed out that I had missed B1G4. Opened a bill me account yesterday morning because there were enough enrollments that I wanted and got accepted today. Did a little reading on this thread and couldn't believe my luck that the code is still working. Just placed my first B1G4 order, will more than likely do one more to close out the account in a few minutes.

By the way,I could have sworn that several days a go,I put one of the King of the Hill seasons in my cart and that put in some higher priced titles and they ended up as free,even though I am pretty sure the full price one must be at least $19.95.Has this ever happened to anyone else?Maybe CH had a glitch?Or than again,it was only a dream.
I tried it again 14 hours a go and they showed up full price.
And what is the lowest amount one has to spend to get Criterions for free?I preordered Diary of the Dead($19.95),put a Criterion in my cart and it was full price.
A week or 2 ago I ordered CET3K Ultimate which I think is either $23.95 and got 2 copies of 8 1/2 for free.

And what is the lowest amount one has to spend to get Criterions for free?

A $20.97 box set such as Popeye the Sailor: Volume Two, but it has to be entered last.
Non box set purchases, they have to be $34.95 I think to get Criterions for free.

Here's an order I placed when the sale first came about:
Popeye the Sailor: Volume Two (Pre-Order) $20.97
Hearts & Minds: The Criterion Collection FREE
The Ruling Class: The Criterion Collection FREE
The Red Shoes : The Criterion Collection FREE
8 1/2: The Criterion Collection FREE
Three O'Clock High (was on sale for $5.00, not anymore)
Order Total: $38.91

I've already got everything in the order except Popeye. I think the reason being I had to pay s/h on each DVD. They would most likely hold the order now since the total would be $23.96 (s/h on Popeye only plus the order does not have Three O'Clock High). If you placed an order with a set that wasn't a preorder, you'd be ok.

I was starting to get bummed out that I had missed B1G4. Opened a bill me account yesterday morning because there were enough enrollments that I wanted and got accepted today. Did a little reading on this thread and couldn't believe my luck that the code is still working. Just placed my first B1G4 order, will more than likely do one more to close out the account in a few minutes.

I just signed up for one today. I hope I can get in on this.

Today is the 11th...should end today!
I got 3 orders in today. $20/each (catalog titles).
That's all I'm saying. :)

none of the b1g4 codes are working for me now...did yesterday :(

Works for me too.

They just stopped working about 10 minutes ago.Please ignore. I'm an idiot.

Awesome. Moviestop pays $12 a movie for nearly all new releases, so i put in a few orders. $25 -> $60 rulez.

I also put in a few orders for Blu-Ray/HD-DVDS i want with filler for the rest. They've got the LE Batman Begins Blu-Ray boxset for $33 and it worked fine for me with the B1G4.

Heres hoping all these orders dont get cancelled!

Awesome I just fulfilled one of my account with an average of 2.41 per DVD for 11 DVDs
Columbia House Rocks!!!
And ofu course
You Guys Rock Too!!!!!!

All my orders have **** for everything, too.

Hopefully that doesn't mean anything

Hopefully that doesn't mean anythingIt doesn't mean anything. They will list a duplicate order with the correct price. After a couple of days, they will delete the **** order from your order history. Nothing to worry about.

what if it has been more then a few days?

they've definitely done something to prevent me from entering that code. no other code will work either. they seem to have disabled all of them for the free shipping weekend...it's b1g50% off unlimited when i log in, and doesn't recognize any other code :(

Was going to get Pan's Labyrinth HD and 4 more sd too :(

i had an order from sunday that had this, and it's still there, but the order appeared as well a few days later and I've been charged for it (the double charge disappeared this morning).

In other words, it will be fine.

everything shows as shipped except TWWB 2 disc, which is still "pending" :(

That's the thing I wanted most!

Must of just changed it, I had an order go in with no problems about 15 minutes ago.

Hmmm...just placed an order a few minutes ago that went through

i also just placed my 5th order two min's ago so still working..

Yep still working. I, however, will not be placing any more orders :( I've been spoiled enough :)

just a suggestion for folks...TCMs Forbidden Hollywood collection is only $23.97 and makes a great first selection for any codes offering freebies. 3 pre-code classics and a must have for any classic film fans.

To anyone that received Water Horse and Dewey Cox, did yours come with slipcovers? Mine didn't, so if anyone wants to get rid of their slipcovers pm me, and I can paypal some funds.

Fullscreen?!?! Pass.

Joke I imagine, but for the less informed, for many older movies the OAR is full screen.

B1G4 is now officially dead!

Code expired on April 11th at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.

This thread is going to get slow again!!

god save me from THE CODE

*crosses self*

Gah I already opened it. Didn't know it came with a slipcover until I saw it at Walmart.

I just checked out of curiosity and the "code" is still working on my account.:shrug: Too bad there's nothing I want to order.

SBJ got half that right. Why not buy it at WalMart and return the one you bought at WalMart minus slipcover. Half of they DVDs that are suppose to have slipcovers are missing or if they do have one they are torn. Technically you are helping them get rid of them before they look like garbage. ;) Usually I could care whether I have one or not, but I did do that with the 2nd Pirates 2disc set I got for Christmas.

It all depends on whether the slipcover is under the shrinkwrap or over it.:)

I just checked on my account and it still works. I haven't placed any orders using this trick myself though. Just too much like hacking to me.
