May I ask why you didn't use one of the codes that would have given you a 6th movie for $0.49 and a 7th for $9.95? If you did, then you would have gotten 11 DVDs for $48.79= for an average of $4.44.:)

Because with this code..you only have to buy ONE more.

the 6 @ 49 you have to buy 2 more I believe to fufill the commitment.

I think?

You still bought two more though :hscratch:

Nope..I bought only one more (to get free shipping and handling)

then with that one more...I get another free.

So in the end..I am only paying for 2 dvds, getting 2 free dvds AND free shipping and handling.

But you posted that you bought 2 at full price - Back To The Future and Star Trek 2. Using a different code that gave you a 6th for $0.49 and a 7th for $9.95, you would have actually gotten 1 more DVD for almost $5 less.

True...but isnt the number for fufillment higher?

It's just 2 fulfillments if you get the $9.95 title when you sign up. You bought 2 items that would have counted as fulfillments (1 more than you needed), that's why you can do even better next time (assuming they have B1G1 then).

Need to know if C7W has a CC option and if it requires a PSN

Yep, C7W has CC option and doesn't require PSN

Just got an offer in the mail, E7F same as C7W 6 DVDs for .49, 7th at 9.95 to bring fullfillments down to 2

How do you determine the cost for a set with your method? For example, how much would you break down my most recent order?

Star Trek Generations Special 1 selection $0.49
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered 1 selection $0.49
Star Trek: The Motion Picture 1 selection $0.49
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home 1 selection $0.49
Star Trek III: The Search for 1 selection $0.49
Star Trek V: The Final Frontie 1 selection $0.49
Star Trek: First Contact Speci 1 selection $9.95
Order Total: $12.89

Stargate Sg-1: Season 7 33491 Pending $32.46
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Deluxe Edition 42507 Pending $0.00
Total $42.44

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan the Director's Edition 27417 Pending $0.00
Back to the Future: The Complete Trilogy 27573 Pending $20.96
Total $28.94


Total=84.27

I would add up the costs of a minimum order:
$12.89 intro package
$19.95 x 2 = $39.90 for 2 fulfillments
$4.98 x 2 = $9.96 shipping

Total = $62.75 Average for 11 DVDs = $5.70

Then figure what each order cost over the minimum:
1st order $42.44 - $ 24.93(minimum cost) = $17.51
So cost of Stargate Sg-1 = $5.70 + 17.51 = $23.21

2nd order $28.94 - $24.93 = $4.01
Cost of BttF = $5.70 + $4.01 = $9.71

Thanks, helps me not feel too bad about spending the extra money on Stargate. Now I just need to keep myself from signing up again. Is the free shipping deal that happened pretty much a one time thing? Too bad I missed out.

Free shipping is usually offered about 3-4 times a year.

I didn't know that...looks like I'll be waiting a couple months before I close 2 of my accounts...

While it doesn't change the fact that you got an excellent deal, I would calculate the cost of the higher priced fulfillments a little differently than Jim did.

First, a standard 7:2 account, such as you have, would break down with minimum fulfillments like this:
Enrollment: 6 x 49¢ + $9.95 = $12.89 (7 DVDs)
Fulfillment: 2 x $19.95 + $4.98 (shipping) - $5 (web discount) = $39.88 (2 DVDs)
Total cost: $12.89 + $39.88 = $52.77 (9 DVDs)
Average DVD cost: $52.77/9 = $5.8633

Your fulfillments included two sets and two DVD editions that aren't available for enrollment. Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan: DE could have been purchased as a fulfillment for $19.95, so it can be had for $5.86 like an enrollment. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: DE seems to be priced at $24.95, $5 more than the $19.95 minimum, so I would value it at $5.86 + $5 = $10.86. The Back to the Future set could be purchased as a fulfillment for $20.96 (on your account; it is less on mine), a $1.01 excess cost over $19.95, so I would value it at $5.86 + $1.01 = $6.87. The rest of the excess membership cost I would apply to the Stargate SG-1: Season 7 set. The valuations would work out like this:
Enrollment: 6 x 49¢ + $9.95 = $12.89 (7 DVDs)
Fulfillment: $42.44 + $28.94 = $71.38 (2 DVDs + 2 sets)
Total cost: $12.89 + $71.38 = $84.27 (9 DVDs + 2 sets)
Relative cost of the Stargate set: $84.27 - ((7 x $5.86) + $5.86 (WoK) + $10.86 (CatCF) + $6.87 (BttF)) = $84.27 - $64.61 = $19.66 (Stargate)

Kind of a complicated way of looking at it but that's because your fulfillment order was complex.

My 2¢.

if you aready have a tv on dvd account where do you add promotional codes at?

Same as in regular DVD club. Under the DVD tab on the main page there is a link saying "Looking for the offer in your mailing?". When you click on that link a box will pop up where you can put in any current valid offer codes. See this thread - http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=423563 - for the ones currently available.

Got another 7:2 code in an e-mail: C7YD.

$5.86 average DVD cost, no PSN required. Don't know about whether it has a credit card option, but I presume that the terms are the same as the other C7* codes, which do allow a credit card when enrolling.

Thanks!

Which code can give me this offer? Thanks.

^The codes are listed and regularly updated by ITALIAN926 in the first post in this thread.

C7L

7 DVDs for $12.89
2 DVDs(fulfillment) for $34.90(2 x $19.95-preorders-less the $5 web coupon)
2 DVDs for FREE(part of the BOGO-use code 807748)
Shipping for FREE
Tax for FREE(at least for me):)

Total $47.79 for 11 DVDs($4.35 average cost per DVD)

I just called with C7L and C7W, but they said that both are invalid.
This was after 3 web attempts that I just now received the rejection letters for. This is annoying, but I have hope. I think I read somewhere that it depends on the csr? Should I just go with lmt, or just keep trying the number again? I called 1-800-692-1000. Any other numbers I can try?

Ah, sweet. I just called in with lmt (which appears to be the same thing as the other two codes) and I got it to go through! I'm really excited. I assume since the code took, then the approval should be smooth sailing. Hopefully. Thanks to the other guy who mentioned that on the previous page.

^ What did the rejection letters say?

The new accounts phone number for regular DVD club applications is 888-242-3837 (888-CHC-DVDS). And, yes, LMT is the same offer as the C7* codes, as mentioned in the first post in this thread.

No one has encountered a K7L style, 5:2 / 6:1 code that will take a CC up front, right?

I applied yesterday (website: columbiahouse.com) with the LMT code. While checking out, I was asked for the PSN. I had one from a previous account. So that was not a problem.

But I was NOT asked for credit card information (I thought I would be asked that information in the next page). Any chance that this application would get approved?

I would have preferred to have given the credit card information up front so as to improve the chances of the application getting approved (and also that way I can check my credit card statement to see if the account got approved). I have not had any problems with Columbia House in the past and I have obeyed all the rules posted out here. Is this application going to get lost? Or is there a chance that it will go through? Thanks.

^Applications seem to be getting approved much more easily than before. Your chances are good.

There are many codes similar to LMT that DO require a credit card, they are listed in the first post in this thread. Or you could have called in your order; that would have given you a chance to use your credit card.

Not so far, but you could try calling it in (don't know if they will accept K7L on the phone, but it is worth a try). 888-242-3837.

Thanks for the response, Lizard. You are right. I should have called it in (like I have done all the previous times). Now I just wait and hope for the best.

I did a K7L (no CC) online earlier this week and was approved less than 24 hours later. I wouldn't sweat it.

Ok, so like I said, I applied last Tuesday, and now it's Sunday and I've heard nothing. I used LMT on the phone, and everything seem to go well. I still have yet to receive an email or anything. Swing and a miss #6.

When I applied over the phone last year, I never received a confirmation email. But the DVDs arrived anyway. So don't write this one off just yet.

I think they have pretty much given up on email. The last account i had i never got an email from enrollment to fulfillment. Also when i would try to put in my email address in my account info it would let me add it but then delete it right after i saved. I guess they're just getting lazy. Give it a week and if you don't get a package then you can start worrying about getting rejected.

I just wanted to update my earlier post.

I applied online with the LMT code on 03/01 (provided PSN. But no credit card info was required). I got approval email on 03/03. I have not received the shipment yet. But I could log on to my account. The only problem is I am already a Preferred Member (without purchasing the fulfillments). Looks like a few others are having similar problems. I am not sure if I should order my fulfillments right away (or) wait to see if my account status gets corrected.

I am atleast happy that my online application got approved (and did not get lost). Thanks for all the help.

I am having problems with the codes. I successfully opened an account in January, but this time when I keep entering codes, I am just getting the 5 for 49c offer with another at $14.95.

I've even cleared out my cookies.

Anything special I need to do?

Just got a code from BMG. It is EBP and it's the standard 7:2

I just applied with C7L yesterday, its the first time they've asked for my CC when enrolling, and this morning an authorization for 12.89 is showing up on my bank statement-- am I accepted already?

Not necessarily. I placed a C7L application on February 21 and the $12.89 hold was instantly placed on my card. The $12.89 hold remained on my card for three weeks. I no longer have the hold and the charge never went through.:( Only until the $12.89 is actually posted on your card will you know if you've been approved.

I just tried K7L on the phone and they said that code doesn't work. Has it worked recently on the phone?
