The fourth character is always "D" for DVD Club. That part about the 10 digit PSN is puzzling. My most recent "we want you back" mailing had the usual 11 digit account number as PSN. I think the CSR was confused.

Were you calling the 888 new accounts line?

I, too, have learned to never accept a subsitute account for a good code since the CSRs think that they are all the same and use the standard deal: 49¢ each and free shipping... must be the same.

Could be that the 3 series codes are going away, as you surmise.

I just got a BDWD code in the mail today. It requires a PSN.

It's a 5 x .49 + 3 More ($19.95) --> 6th for $9.95 (Make it 2 more) + Take a 7th for $9.95 (Bonus; Still 2 more for fulfillment)

So that would be: (5 x 0.49) + (2 x 9.95) + (2 x 19.95) or 2.45 + 19.90 + 39.90 = 62.25 / 9 = $6.92

But I didn't figure S&P for the 2 fulfillment selections... if S&P is $6.95 each, then its 9 DVDs @ $8.47 a piece.

That's an improvement from their standard offer because the 6th DVD is usually $14.95 not $9.95. The golden number of $17.40 for enrollment now becomes $12.40!!! Which also means if the 3-for-$25 rolls over into 2005 then it goes like this:

(5 x $0.49) + (9.95) + (2 x (3 for $25) - $5 web order) = $57.40
OR
$57.40/12 = $4.79 per DVD!!!

Now that's a low average cost!

New breed of DVD codes with that $9.95 6th selection. Adding any letter or number at the end of BD keeps it the same... bd7, bd2, bdw, bdr, bdt, bdy, bdq .. all checked out. Updating opening post.. Thanx to Goldberg

I just signed up under the offer code Goldberg74 provided, so let's see how it works. It's also important to know that the code Goldberg74 gave was a NON-credit card application. Sweet deal if CH keeps the 3-for-$25 going...

Potentially : ( 5 DVD's x .49 PLUS 1 for $9.95 & free S/H ) = $12.40

2 to fullfill ($19.95 x 2 + 1@ $9.95) for free SH - $5 webdvd discount) = 44.85

Total $57.25 / 9 DVD's = $6.36 average

This doesnt include taxes.. but DAYUM :)

Any chance for a trawler run?

I've noticed several codes having the same offer - similar to the old "7CY" offer scenario. With this many codes similar to JP1(, BP5, etc), there is probably a few better codes than even this new BDxD series.

How much better can it get though? ONE fullfillment? I doubt it. I dont think theres anything better than this, but I would like to know if theres similar codes with a Credit Card option at checkout.

You never know - I remember when I used to cycle through BMG CD club memberships in the late 80's / early 90's, the deals kept getting better and better until you got 12 free with only 1 to buy (+ S/H) - worked out to about $3 per CD.

Well ... there were those codes for five for $25 and NO fulfillments a few years ago (eg. CYCD and its siblings). They didn't last long once everyone piled on though.

The 2 x $25 is actually 2 x (3 for $25).

You got it. I will edit my original message so it is more clear.

Little slow there Kev ;)

Boy I Am. I didn't even notice till now. :rolleyes:

:( I wished I would have waited until this week to open up a new account. Oh well, I was able to sign up ove the phone using 3LC and my CC has been charged today. As soon as I fulfill my DV2 account next week, I'm going to try and sign up using one of the new codes.

Has anyone successfully used one of the new BDx codes for a phone enrollment?

If so,
a) did they ask for a credit card?
b) did you have to add the final "D" for the CSR to find the code (i.e. BDxD)?
c) did the order correctly process under the terms offered (i.e. the 9.95 6th w/2 fulfillments)?

I just received this offer in the mail. Could I sign up for another account if I already have one account open and a DV2 account also? I guess it wouldn't hurt to try.

Those were good times! Of course, you could only pick enrollment titles, but hey!

How do I get 3 for $25? Does that automatically ring up online if I put 6 DVDs in my cart? Thanks for any answers! I always lurk here for the best info.

My understanding is that only certain titles are eligible for 3 for $25, mostly $14.95 ones (and there are several thousand of those). There are a few $19.95 DVDs that qualify also. When you load three of them into your cart you should see them priced at $8.33 or so. Same if you put six in your cart. So, yes, it is automatic if you select the right DVDs. What may not be automatic is getting the correct 1/3 fulfillment credit for each one. It is likely that you will have to call or e-mail after placing the order to get the credit fixed. Be sure to use the $5 off website when placing that first order, assuming that your total is over $30 (which it is with 6 DVDs).

Hope that answers your questions. Questions of this sort might best be placed in the Columbia House newbies: Ask questions here thread or one of the "3 for $25" threads.

I think it is safe to say that the commitment credit definitely will not be automatic and a phone call will be required. I've used 6 for 50 to fulfill multiple times in the last three months and a phone call has been required in all cases. On my most recent fulfillment, the first call didn't "take" and I had to call back several days later. It's simple and quick, but a necessity.

If you end up having to call,why use the web at all? Just call your order in and it will be all set, first time! You'll probably get a better deal on the phone if you ask for one anyway. I stopped using the web (because it never works right) 6 months ago, and have nothing but praise for calling in an order. Just my 2 cents! :)

Well, the obvious answer is "to get the $5 first order web discount." I know others have suggested that you can ask for this and get it from a CSR, but I don't trust that process. Also, I prefer web ordering whenever possble. It sounds like it's a minimum of one call either way - so it probably comes down to personal preferences.

btw: have you called in a 6-for-50 fulfillment order and had the account automatically fulfilled upon shipment? Or, have you had to make a second call upon failure of the "system" to grant proper fulfillment credit?

I did one in November without a problem. Got an extra $10 funcash too, some deal they were having at the time, and $5 off web discount. I could never even get the website to credit fulfillments for $19.95 titles, nevermind the 3for25 deals,so I gave up on it a while ago. Maybe it works now,but I've been happier calling in. At least I can talk to a real person and make sure everything's in order.
I call up and say that "I'm having troubles getting a web order to go through correctly, the sale prices and fulfillment credits aren't showing up right, can you help me process my order?" Before before I mention any titles, I discuss the deal offered, and when I mention a title I say what commitment count it should be. I make everything very clear. Then before I say everythings okay, I ask again if I've fulfilled my commitment. After the order is basically done(csr usually asks if there is anything else they can do for you), I ask if they can credit me the $5 first order discount. It gets credited to my cc a few days after the order has gone through. The one i did last week(on a B1G1 fulfillment) was 3 days.
It's just a recommendation to try calling the first time. I know CH is messed up sometimes, and I may just be getting lucky so far. After all I was having no problems with web apps my first 5 or so, but then, whallah, it just got worse and I couldn't deal with it's incompetence anymore. But it doesn't help if you get a csr you can't understand or have a conversation with either. ;)
