I would try again. I ordered both The Furies and Mishima, the coupon took 20% off both titles.

Are you entering the coupon when you are on the checkout page? I just tried it and the discount still works! There is actually nothing indicating that the discount has been applied when you enter in the code, except that when the page refreshes the priice for Patriotism has changed to 13.98 and the Furies 22.38

If you see those prices listed under "shopping cart" the 20% discount is applied.

I was also able to get both The Furies and Patriotism to work. The key is to add them to the cart from the search results page and not the individual title's detail page. Why? I don't know. I noticed that it adds a little "(Preorder)" tag if it is added from the details page and I couldn't get the coupon to work but when I added them from the search results page, the little "(Preorder)" wasn't there and the coupon worked no problem. So try that and it should work...

Also, I am wondering if purchases made via PayPal are still eligible for the Frequent Buyer Points or not. I hope so but I know sometimes these kinds of programs may have stipulations that restrict qualifying purchases to those made with a CC or something like that. So does anybody know if my entire purchase will still get all the points even though it was made with PayPal? Because I went with Planet over DD in some cases even if they were slightly more expensive in hopes of receiving the points....Thanks.

Last year I was able to get a CSR to update my points over the phone before the sale ended.

A few months ago I called to check the status of an order, and I gave them my name and address. They asked my email address, I told them, and they acted weird about it. I asked what was wrong, and they told me that they had almost 20 email addresses tied to my name and address.

I didn't know what that was all about, but then it hit me. They were seeing all of the GoogleCheckout orders I placed back when that crazy deal was going on at DVDPlanet.

They told me that each account had a small number of points, and if I wanted them to they said they would combine all of the points spread over all of the accounts into just one email address and account, that way to prevent any confusion in the future when I need to call in asking about something. I obviously said that would be fine, they did it for me, and I instantly had about $15 credit because of all of those points.

Yeah I got another email from them today telling me that the system is going slow and that if they aren't updated by the 19th I can email/call and have them manually done. I'll be patient.

Be sure to check your points. I just received my email with the updated point total, but they forgot to include the points from a rather large order I placed on June 4th (fulfilled and shipped). They did include the points from an order placed several days later, however.

Edit: DVDPlanet corrected the total points in my account in less than an hour after I emailed them about the error. I love this company!

Same exact thing happened to me. I'm missing 95 points.

It might be best to pick up a copy then. That's what I plan on doing.
Yeah, I just saw that in the thread for the CC ad for that week. That's definitely better than I'd get anywhere else, so that's where I'll get it.

I just hope the packaging is better this time around though... I understand that Bender's Big Score was a carbon-neutral release, but you'd think they could still have a little better packaging.

That's interesting, when I asked them over a year ago to do exactly that for me, they told me that cannot combine accounts.. I suppose they found out that they actually CAN do that now...

Thank you for writing DVDPlanet!

Unfortunately, we cannot combine accounts.

Please contact us if you have any further questions.

Sincerely,

Same here - I'm missing 77 points. The previous Frequent Buyer point update they sent out to me covered 5/25/2008 through 5/31/2008 - and this one covers 6/8/2008 through 6/14/2008. So they skipped over 6/1/2008 - 6/7/2008.

I sent an email to inform them, hopefully they will fix the problem.

I am so stoked. I sold a bunch of DVDs to them for store credit a couple days AFTER the sale started and my credit has already been processed. Just got the equivalent of an extra 20% out of my DVDs. Sweetness. Time to place another order for this sale.

I sent in two large orders to them for store credit on the 9th, and I just got the email letting me know that the credit for both orders went through today. I now have more DVDPlanet credit than I've ever had at a single time. This is truly insane.
