You can usually find sale offer codes listed and discussed in the last pages of A list of all offer codes thread. I also have some free shipping codes posted in the Free Shipping for orders over $50 thread.

The current codes aren't very good and probably expire today (we'll find out tomorrow).

Great news! The old B1G1F code 807748 is now active again! I just used it to buy 2 regular priced DVDs and get 2 free (which completes my membership). Better use it fast, as CH has been changing their codes pretty quickly.

E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T! Thanks for the heads-up.


EDIT: All of the older BOGO codes are working as of right now-807747, 807748, 807749, 807750 and 807751. BTW, thewrite1. Great first post.

My last approved web app was in March and my last phone app was in May; so hopefully I appear to CH as somewhat of a non-cycler. We'll see...
Well, lo and behold, it worked! I got the "welcome to the club" email at 8:21 this morning. I'm wondering if CH is somehow linking phone numbers and/or zip codes to offer codes. Those are two pieces of information that they ask for before the code and, both being strictly numeric, would lend themselves to computer verification. I find it interesting that all of the other 7:2 codes I tried failed but the one they actually emailed to me (despite being four months old) worked like a charm. The plot thickens....

Great Fun Membership

By the way, has anyone else gotten an offer online from CH to join a free trial membership of Great Fun? After purchasing my CH DVDs on a previous membership, I noticed a link saying "save an extra $20". It's an invite to join this lame "Great Fun" club for vacation/entertainment discounts, but it's a free 30 day trial that promises to reimburse you $20 for your CH purchases. My point is, it works! I joined Great Fun, cancelled my membership before the 30 days was up, and got my $20 check in the mail within 3 weeks (!) So taking advantage of a BOGO and 7:2 offer and Great Fun trial brought my average DVD cost down to $3.65 each. Doing it again now under a different membership.

Thanks for the deal! You wouldn't be a CH operative telling us about this in order to smoke out the people who use this board so CH can blacklist all of us, would you?

Just kidding

Sort of.

807748 does not work now, at least for me, it just says:

Not to worry--I'm not a spy in the house of love or anything. If I worked for CH, I certainly wouldn't have let you all know yesterday about the old codes working again. Just sharing the wealth is all (wealth of information, that is)!

When you first sign on, click on the details link of the default offer[located at the top of the page]. When the next screen appears, scroll down to the middle of the page and you should see a box for your online code. Enter the code into this box and hit enter. If this is your first online order, sign on at columbiahouse.com/webdvd to get an additional $5 off of a $30 or higher order.

I got one of those "please come back" emails. The offer was for the standard 7:2, but no PSN or Credit Card required. Might be useful if they pull some of the older codes.

Code = 42K

No worries, I figured you just don't check your email that often.

Current phone codes?

What enrollment codes have people used recently to sign up over the telephone? I have Web applications in, but I'd like a faster, more certain response.

^ I think that most of the codes that used to work on the phone are no longer accepted, such as 38Y, LMT, LMY, C7L, and so forth. The only one that might still work is EBP and similar codes, which I will not list here.

My latest attempt at enrolling on the phone led to a "lost" application. But I have another open account and the new published policy at Columbia House is to limit open acccounts to just one. I am hoping for a formal rejection letter that says as much, to verify this.

Good luck.

Thanks. My latest Web application was just accepted, though the order only has my last DVD (of seven) on it, something I will be taking up with customer service.

Don't bother. This is normal CH procedure-they only list one title out of the seven enrollments on your account history.

^And the reason for listing only one title is that it was the "bonus" for which you likely paid $9.95. It is considered a fulfillment. The 49˘ enrollments are considered promotions and don't appear in one's account history. SOP for Columbia House.

If anyone is having trouble with a lot of the better codes that don't work anymore, I just got an offer in the mail last week. It's not the best offer, but it is pretty close. This kind of code used to be the "best code" about a year ago. Appears to require a PSN like those codes used to as well.

It's a 7:2 code but the 7th is $14.95, not $9.95 like some of the better codes.
Code is D5V.

And they are—as of now—dead again (unfortunately). ;_; I just tried all of them.

Have you tried 808966? That was reportedly working as of yesterday.

That code is still working. The codes that are no longer valid were the ones that would give you a free title with each regularly priced title[so if you bought two titles, then you would get two freebies].
