Does that mean your first order per account , or can it only be used only one time per customer?

I tried applying via phone yesterday with C7W and K7L and was told that both of these were invalid offer codes. I hung up and called back and applied with LMT with no problem. Are C7W and K7L web only codes?

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?

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

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
$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.

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¢.
