Re: Questions about Columbia House? Ask them here, Part II

I had no idea they were still operating one of their clubs! I had both CH and BMG *years* ago for CD deals but both shuttered. IIRC I never had a DVD/BR club membership (the "deals" just weren't...

Re: Questions about Columbia House? Ask them here, Part II

Unlike Disney Movie Club the price that counts towards fulfillment at CH is *typically* the "Club Price" and *not* the discount price. There *are* exceptions so be careful. The exceptions seem to...

Re: Questions about Columbia House? Ask them here, Part II

Exactly! I got the impression that many who are building up points either don't know or don't care. It seems that most of those posting about their "deals" don't look at the "imputed" cost, only...

Re: Questions about Columbia House? Ask them here, Part II

IMHO "bonus points" are still pretty worthless if you are cycling accounts. However, many seem to be purchasing BR and build up bonus points. I think it's mainly due to BR not being available as...

If they want the incorrect title returned they'll provide a pre-paid label because it was their fault. They typically will tell you they want it returned *but* I've not had this issue since they...

Re: Questions about Columbia House? Ask them here, Part II

The "Club price" aka MSRP.

Re: Questions about Columbia House? Ask them here, Part II

Any DVD/set with a club price of $19.95 and up *should* count, even if it's a "bundle" deal. However, the only way you'll know 100% is to make the purchase.

Re: Questions about Columbia House? Ask them here, Part II

^Which FAQ? Unless something's changed, $39.95 - $59.94 counts as 2 with $59.95 and up counting as 3.

Re: Questions about Columbia House? Ask them here, Part II

Sounds plausible. Just make sure to use a different email address as well.

Have you tried opening an account with simply a different email address than you've used in the past?

As stated in the OP:

Do you use a different email address for each account? That could be an issue. I use 4-6 different ones and cycle through them. But, it's a different company which owns CH than before. These...
