They're doing it again. If you're a member of their online rental club, you can choose from:

The Grudge
Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid
Birth
The Manchurian Candidate (2004)
Wicker Park
Catwoman
Exorcist: The Beginning

DJ_Longfellow

Yep, got mine....I'll either get The Grudge (if it's UNRATED) or Anacondas....yeah, free movie.

The Void

Nice, but all the Blockbuster's in my area do not honor any coupons from the rental club. One of the many reasons I don't like Blockbuster.

Michael Corvin

how about a heads up in the title?

CLUB MEMBERS ONLY.

The Void

Yep, they are franchise stores.

Nothing about a free movie when I go to the website. No e-mail from BB either. And yes I am a member of their online rental club.

tonyc3742

Cool, mine's in there. Just printed. I need to go by sometime anyway and use up one of my two free rental coupons. I'm not incredibly interested in any of those movies [maybe I should check out Catwoman], but I am a sucker for "free".

edit: Checking home email, I have an email telling me to go check my account for the coupon.

scarredgod

none for me.

valkyrie

None here, either. Looks like a YMMV.

theMadness

Just got mine. Not a great selection, but hey, it's free.

Space_Monkey

Nothing for me either. I'm on the 2 at a time plan. Maybe a different membership level is being rewarded since I got the last freebie coupon when I was on the 3 at a time plan...

Chew

^ I'm on the three out and didn't get the coupon for this.

mishii

anybody seen Birth or Wicker Park?

digitalfreaknyc

I picked up Birth yesterday. I liked it.

RonBoster

None for me. I have the 3x and in-store once per week (time limited) coupon.

They might be aiming it at:
* certain membership levels [I'm on the 3-out, 2-in-store-rental plan]
* certain member longevity [I'm since Dec 2004]
* certain geographical areas that have some back stock of these DVDs that aren't moving; maybe it's easier to email coupons based on home address and local store inventory levels than pack and ship the dvds to someplace where they're selling [I'm in NC].

digitalfreaknyc

I'm on the same plan...and I think i've been a member just as long.

Logic 7

Is Wicker Park any good?

digitalfreaknyc

I picked that up on the last "free dvd" offer. Still haven't watched it.

flix1

Nothing in my account except my normal coupons ... I have the 3 at a time monthly subscription and have been a member for more than a year.

tonyc3742

Just got back. One of my local BBs [not my closest, but most convenient to work] had TONS [like 30+] of copies of Grudge, maybe 15 of Anacondas, maybe 12 of Wicker Park, maybe 10 each of Catwoman, Manchurian, and < 10 of Exorcist and Birth.

Wrote Blockbuster Online last night and asked why I didn't get the free PVD movie either - here's their response:

Please be informed that Previously Viewed DVD (PVD) coupons are only side privileges and are not actually included in the subscription plan. PVD coupons are given to random customers once in a while, and in such cases, may only be redeemed at participating and selected Blockbuster Stores.

At times when, they are being sued by the inventor of online rentals, and have way less subscribers - they would be a little more friendly and consistent.

nemein

Same here... in fact it's been awhile since I've received any thing but the regular game/movie rental coupons. I wonder if that's another factor... are those people who retained the 2/mn game/movie not getting the coupon and those who switched to the 4/mn movie only getting them

DJ_Longfellow

I picked up THE Grudge....only the normal version, but it had a slipcase. I really didn't want any of the movies, but it's free.

animefan

I didn't get it either, but I got it last time when they had this promotion. Picked up Along Came Polly, watched it, and sold it for $4. It was like getting paid to see that movie.

Even if it is at random, I appreciate it. It is lot better than some other online rentals I've tried.
