Nothing says you can't re-use a PSN. I've used some PSNs more than once(even tho I had PLENTY to spare). The web site might block you for a time period, but after a while (months?) you should be able to re-use it.

If you're calling in, just say you don't have it in front of you at the moment -like a lot of us have - and they should still take the app with no problem.

Nice....thanks for the response. I have been waiting for a few days for a response and was beginning to wonder if these applications just seem to conveniently dissappear.

If you are talking about on the TV Club, the code will never be approved. It is just a glitch in their system that it allows you to order with that code.

If you are talking about the DVD club, it should work fine and has been approved for many people.

Happens all the time.. If you dont get approved within a week, its usually lost for good.

Guess I'll try again then. I've had 8 previous accounts and never had to retry. I'll probably just call in the order this time. Thanks.

I had same thing happen, and for some reason they are much better over the phone, which in todays time I hate doing but seems it is the most reliable.

HDL and H6J still work some of the time, last I heard. There are many other codes one can use for the TV edition club (just play some keyboard roulette). To access the TV club, use the links in the first post of the DVD Club: TV Edition Introduction and Discussion Thread.

If you want to call in an order you will probably get the standard deal (they don't accept the best codes on the phone, at last report): 2 sets for $9.95, buy four DVDs of $19.95 or greater to fulfill. Even this is a decent deal. The selection of enrollment sets is larger on the phone but we don't have a list so you just need to try some and see what they accept. When calling in a TV sets order be sure to ask for the "DVD club, TV Edition". You don't want the regular DVD club.

I just used "LMT" and got 6 at $.49 + 2 more at $9.95. I had to make up a PSN but I finally got one through and I already recieved a confirmation email.

Good Stuff!!!

thanks! I guess the two for 9.95 isn't bad considering you only have to buy two more dvds over the next year.

For the record: it is cheaper to not buy the second extra DVD for $9.95 since it doesn't lower the committment. The average cost of a DVD using LMT (correctly) is $5.86. You paid $9.95 for that 8th DVD.

Wow, if you can find these 2-or-more disc sets for an average of $5.20 in mint condition, let me know where you live - I want to move there! (These are all ones I have bought over the last year from Columbia House, and my average price after fulfillment was $5.20).

*Mystic River Deluxe (3 disc)
*Underworld UR Extended Cut
Predator CE
The Good, Bad and Ugly SE
Escape from NY SE
The Great Escape SE
The Right Stuff SE
Goodfellas SE
Unforgiven SE
Dances with Wolves SE
Alien CE
Aliens CE
Lawrence of Arabia LE
Magnolia Platinum
Boogie Nights Platinum
Speed 5-star
Die Hard 5-star
A Christmas Story SE
Dogma SE
Pink Floyd : The Wall
Doctor Zhivago SE (196x version)
Casablanca SE
Citizen Kane SE

* - not available as enrollment anymore.

Sure occasionally I find one of these in a pawn shop cheap - I got another Goodfellas SE for $5, and 2 Se7en Platinums for $5 (cases were beat up) - but they are rare. People who buy these expensive SEs don't usually resell them cheaply.

Alot of those titles you mentioned above are good ones. Unfortunately I have about half of them already. I'm glad you posted though because now Ill reconsider for a few of those titles.

I realized that but I snagged a King of New York SE for my 8th and $10 isn't wasn't bad for it in my book.

Everytime I use my PSN (past 4 times) to take advantage of these great deals CH always sends me an email saying congrats, we will email you again after we verify your order status, which can take up to 7 days.

BUt then they NEVER send me that second email nor the DVD's. Is my PSN number black listed or something? Please help.

Your experience is the same as many others. Why these applications get "lost" is a mystery. Sometimes they will send a letter saying that you have been turned down but usually they will not. It may have something to do with the number of accounts you have had or the time between them, but that is just a guess.

If you are really "blacklisted" you should get a letter saying that Columbia House has made a "business decision" to close your accounts. Whether refusing new accounts is a form of blacklisting is unclear since many have been able to open accounts over the phone after having numerous web applications lost.

This is why most of us suggest trying a phone order. Those usually have a higher sucess rate than web orders.

True but as my DVD want list grows I'm sure I'll use the $5.86 next time for a nicer 2 Disc SE/CE DVD.

Oh well though, I always HAVE had a problem with responsible spending, lol!!!!
