It might pay off to recheck your Blockbuster instore coupons. My free trial is up on the 20th and I printed those 2 initial coupons when I started so I wasn't going to look again but I just checked today and I have 2 more that expire on the 30th. Maybe the month rolling over to November triggered new coupons...
YMMV but that makes 4 coupons for me this month.

Had the same thing with my account. I wonder if they will give me 2 more for extending my free trial another month? Or at least if I do cancel at the end of this upcoming trial period I may be able to pick up 2 more coupons. At least it something to look for before quitting.

I just checked my blockbuster account and I have two extra coupons too. They're probably doing this because of their new policy which allows customers to rent video games with the ecoupons. The two first coupons were generated before this change and can only be use to rent DVDs.

I checked my account today and found Blockbuster gave me two more free rental coupons since I extended my free trial over the weekend. I now have 4 coupons, plus another month of free rentals.

It appears the extra coupons were no accident according to the following email I received from Blockbuster tonight. Also some information about trying to improve service and shipping times for rentals.
Introducing faster shipping and more copies of the movies you want to see.
Because of loyal members like you, BLOCKBUSTER Online™ has surpassed our growth expectations. While we're thrilled so many movie fans have turned to BLOCKBUSTER Online, The Movie Store At Your Door™, we know our rapid growth may have impacted our service to you.
We recognize the need to continuously improve and we are taking the following steps to do just that:
FASTER SHIPPING
The U.S. Postal Service will now notify us when the envelope containing the DVD you are returning has been scanned in. This means we will send you your next movie before we actually receive the returned one. This means quicker turnaround times for you.
We are adding 10 new shipping locations in the coming months to speed more movies to your door.
MORE COPIES
We are buying more copies of both new releases and old favorites. This should reduce the time you wait for your favorite titles to ship.
PLUS, 2 BONUS E-COUPONS
We appreciate you using our service while we work to make improvements. We have added TWO E-Coupons to your account. These coupons are in addition to the coupons you receive every month, and they can be redeemed for FREE in-store game and movie rentals at participating BLOCKBUSTER® stores.
Get your E-Coupons now and treat yourself to a DVD, VHS or game today. Again, thank you for supporting BLOCKBUSTER Online as we continue to improve our service.
Sincerely,
Shane Evangelist
Senior Vice President and General Manager,
BLOCKBUSTER Online

Just went to cancel a few days early since my 3 movies were in transit anyway and found the extra month offer. YEAH !!!! Another free month and probably 2 or 4 more coupons. SWEET!
Thanks to the original poster on the cancel notice.

Wow! I got 6 In-Store coupons from Blockbuster. 2 from monthly regular coupons, 2 Bonus E-Coupons and 2 more for complaining. Yes, you get coupons for complaining! I complained about having to wait for 3 months for a title on permanent short/long wait queue. I think I will go find somemore to complain.

I'm pretty sure the e-coupons are non-transferable. I signed up for the trial a few months ago and looked in to giving them away because I don't have a blockbuster within 100 miles. But I think the fine print said they were non-transferable.

Has anyone been able to get a third free month of rentals out of Blockbuster? For the heck of it when I was checking my account last week I clicked the cancel link and it still had an extra free month of rentals offer listed. I didn't cancel because I have about 2 more weeks left on my current free trial on my second month.
And also wondering if Blockbuster has increased the number of movies they are allowing out at a time? I currently have 2 at home but they shipped 2 more out of my queue instead of one. The terms of my membership still says they allow three out at a time but I currently have four. Maybe they made a mistake but I was curious if this happened with anyone else.

I just cancelled after two free months of rental, but no offer for a third free month appeared. I have read that some received a 3rd month free so maybe you might get it when you cancel. Good luck!

I had got 2 free months and than canceled last night with no offer for anything else. For me Netflix beats Blockbuster hands down.
