Re: WB insider rewards
I pressed it a little, just enough to edge my account the few points I needed to get to 1500. The North by Northwest BD has shipped, so I'm happy.

Re: WB insider rewards
Before the survey link glitch was either resolved or broken completely, many people on SlickDeals had the page autorefreshing ... I can imagine some people setting that up on several computers and web browsers and leaving for work.
The implication of this as far as the number of orders that have probably been sent out is staggering. Apparently the survey had been open for at least a year, as well.

Not that I'm innocent, but those guys take all that shit to a new level.

I know this would never happen, but for once I would like to see people who are active in their accounts often, and dont participate in such nonsense be rewarded with 50-100 points for not being a dbag.

Well, I don't feel guilty about the 1300 free points I got anymore... That's totally taking advantage of WB. Wowza. I wonder if WB is gonna do a points audit and take points away... If I were them, I would. But WB has typically let stuff slide in the past. So perhaps not...

Re: WB insider rewards
They locked the thread on Blu-ray forum on this. I don't understand the appeal of people bragging about how big a thief they are.

Re: WB insider rewards
I must be one of the few people who didn't do this. Normally I would've felt a bit bad about taking advantage of a loophole/error to get freebies, but in WB's case I would've made a huge exception. Unfortunately in my usual hurry to skim messages here it wasn't immediately obvious to me that by repeatedly clicking on a survey a person could get tons of points. Somehow my pea brain missed that important detail. I don't read Bluray.com or follow these things closely.
On top of that, WBShop holds the record for me for the most canceled orders along with Gohastings and Cancelzon. Other than DVD2BLU which I had good success with (but whose inventory never changes so they are effectively worthless now), I've had nothing but bad luck with anything associated with WBShop. Had I done this survey clicking and ordered stuff, then I probably would've jinxed it for everyone. I'm amazed to read that this glitch existed for a while, I never knew what I was missing while it was alive, and they finally fixed it without canceling orders. Obviously they're not run by the same people who run WBShop because WBShop likes to cancel orders if someone sneezes.
I still don't have a Insider Rewards account and given that all of the goodies have been taken by the other "rats" (as described above) pushing the button for the free reward, I'll have to wait until there's a reason to join Insider Rewards or I finally get around to going through my digital copy codes.

Re: WB insider rewards
Most items still show as in stock, Manzana. With some of the WB blu-rays earning you 300 pts each, if there are any reward eligible items you're interested in it's probably worth taking a look. Still lots of rat pellets left ;-)

EDIT: I just entered two HP Ultimates, and got 250 each. 3D titles got me 150 each. What titles earn 300?

Re: WB insider rewards
I just tried to enter some codes and got this error message:
"This service is temporarily unavailable, please try again later. Our apologies for the inconvenience."
I guess the 3rd-party vendor is doing an overhaul of their system.

Re: WB insider rewards
Red Riding Hood blu-ray combos give you 300 points. Saw a post awhile back that had some others listed, but can't seem to find it at the moment.

Re: WB insider rewards
To make sure I'm clear, all of the cool promos are over at WB Insider Rewards (including 300 points for Red Riding Hood which I own), so there's no reason for me to hurry up and join WB Insider Rewards and enter any of my codes any time soon? Basically, I missed all the limited time good promos, right?

If the Casablanca deal is still working, that might be enough of a reason to sign up and enter your codes. Not sure if it is though and hopefully someone else can chime in on that.
I used the Casablanca deal and received Star Wars: The Clone Wars S1 yesterday.

Re: WB insider rewards
Casablanca was removed as a reward. I didn't see it yesterday.
Some of the SD people are now complaining that they are trying to redeem their stolen points for their rewards and they are not getting coupons anymore. They're still losing the points though from their accounts as if they did get their coupons. Had to laugh at the person who said they were putting in a support ticket to complain about the lost points.

Re: WB insider rewards
So how does this Reward program work? I've been hoarding points and saving up for Clone Wars. This weekend I added my code for Clash of the Titans and finally had enough for Star Wars. I clicked on it and "bought" it and the appropriate number of points vanished from my account. I got a confirmation page and a promise of a coupon or something but since then, nothing.
Was I supposed to get an e-mail or something? I can't find anything on the website to show I "purchased" this title.
