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.

It is when you can get it for $5.86 next time around ! :p

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!!!!

Thanks for the codes!

i just used the MF8D code and got an email confirming that they are reviewing my application.

i tried to set this up yesterday on FireFox and it gave me errors ... I set it up today using IE.

Using account set ups to replace VHS tapes ... getting TIVO this weekend :)

Update: Got membership number and acceptance today
Going to order Ray, preorder Blade Trinity and Oceans 12 to fulfill

The LMT code did not ask for a CC number, just the old account number.

I noticed the 7th selection is not in the e-mail but was on the final checkout page!

Again, thanks for your application! You'll be hearing from us soon.

Call them on the phone. That is your best bet. I have had so many web applications go into the great abyss. But when I call them on the phone, the order always gets approved.

There are some quirks with their website. That is basically an understatement. From what I understand you have to enter your information on the website then a CH employee has to transfer that info into their system. There may be problems on that end. For sure you are not the only one this is happening to.

As I said above, call them on the phone. That takes care of any website issues immediately.

Tim :-)

The one time I did not have my PSN available when I called on the phone, the CH representative said it was no problem. The application was approved.

I got an offer in the mail today, a code I didn't see in the 1st post.

It is M1XD,and is of this variety:

Quote:
You get 5 DVDs for 49¢ each-- shipping and processing is FREE!
As a Club member, all you need to do is buy 3 more movies in the next 2 years at regular Club prices (currently as low as $19.95 plus shipping and processing). You may cancel anytime thereafter.

ADVANCE BONUS OFFER!

Take a 6th movie now for $14.95 (FREE shipping and processing)and have only 2 more movies to buy (instead of 3) in the next 2 years. Plus, you can even take a 7th movie for the special price of $9.95--shipping and processing is once again FREE.

Got a 24 hour approval. That was fast. Wiil have to see how long it takes to get the order.

Got approval in 2 days time with code 'LMT'. Been a while since I've had an account but I had enough DVDs on my wishlist saved up to get back in the game. 'LMT' looks like a fantastic code. 9 total DVDs for less than $6 a DVD. Many thanks to whoever posted this code first (last time I joined the best codes were in the mid $7 range). I see that the CH website is as flaky as I remember it. My confirmation email only listed 6 DVDs and the terms/agreement (the one you have to click on near the end of your order) page when I ordered listed needing 3 more commitments even though I got the $9.95 bonus dvd -- but I just logged into my account and it shows all 7 from my enrollment order and only 2 more commitments necessary so all's well that ends well.

Time to order my two commitments and close the sucker out. God bless CH :-)

Make sure you read the Double action thread with the buy 1 get 1 free code. (if youre not aware) Make two seperate orders and get yourself a free DVD for each one.

What happened to 3 for $25???
 

Just logged into CH and picked 6 titles which are normally $14.95 or less, and the 3 for $25 deal did not kick in like it normally does. Instead of $50 for 6, it was $87.70. WTF? I figured if it ended it would be mentioned here, but do not see it.

It ended

Ok, now it's mentioned. : )


Ok. so what is the best average price one can expect in the TV club?? And are there code for that? Saw the note about the site accepting LMT as a glitch and remember trying that myself a while back, but never getting those dvds, so that explains that. But ARE there any TV codes?

You might want to read the DVD Club: TV Edition Introduction and Discussion Thread. The best codes are still HDL and H6J, if you can get them to work on-line. The best phone code appears to be LE5D; check out posts 145
and 146 in that thread for more information.

Many thanks! Reading it now.

Here's another I did not see mentioned: CTWD

in the variety of 5 for $0.49 + 6th for $9.95, free-shipping 2 commitments

Member BUB from another thread added 38Y to our (LMT LMY) list. According to old rules, this code MIGHT give a credit card option at checkout. It doesnt seem like there is one to me.. but I need definite confirmation when someone uses it. Next person to use 38Y, please post.

The two recent join-the-club mailings I've received are:

MFPD -- this is a 5 for .49 cents, free shipping, buy another at $9.95 and only have to buy 2 to fulfill type of code

and

38YD -- which I see above and after doing a quick search has already been posted. I'll probably be opening a new account shortly and will use 38YD. Someone will probably beat me to it but if not I will be sure to post my experience using the code...

I just signed up using 38Y and was never asked for a credit card. Whats the difference between 38Y and 38YD?

Nothing. The "D" just denotes DVD Club - tho' the 38Y offer detail is only good in the DVD Club.

Do you get an approval email?

Its been 36 hours and so far nothing.

update- still no approval email, but I got a shipping confirmation email today. Got the account # on the invoice, logged in and paid for the enrollment selections.

1. You'll want to pay full price for Paycheck so that it counts for fulfillment. And you got a $10 coupon, too. Nice.

2. If there were a free shipping code known to us, it would've been posted,

3. Although it isn't clear, this thread is geared towards enrollment codes. There is a separate thread for codes for established acccounts.

I'm trying to use code for my first emrollment package, but they keep asking for my PSN. I thought you didn't need a PSN code to use the 38Y and 38D codes? I have never used CH before and don't have one.

If you're enrolling over the phone, try telling the CSR that you don't have the PSN handy (say you just wrote down the bonus code, but can't find the mailing). This usually works.

If worse comes to worse, just apply with the regular terms (no bonus code). Even though it's not nearly as good a deal, once you finish your first account, you'll have a PSN to use on dozens of future accounts.

Overseas Memberships
 

I'm overseas at an APO address; CH would not let me order online without emailing first. Then when they replied, they told me I had to choose 5 and purchase 5 over two years. Most people here get 5 and purchase 2.... Is this a new thing? Please help.... I'm trying to figure out if this is worth the hassle. Thanks.

It sounds as if they are quoting you the standard deal. You need to ask to use a better "savings code" when you enroll. A good one is LMTD, discussed earlier in this thread (6 for 49¢, one additional for $9.95, all with free shipping, then two more fulfillments to complete the account). How this would work when ordering by e-mail, I couldn't say (never give a credit card number by e-mail, by the way). You could try explaining the terms of the savings code you want to use and see what they say.

You might be better off phoning in the order but I am not sure which number you would call from overseas, I can't find their non-800 number, although I know they have one.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

You've been great Lizard, thank you. If you have a number for them I can call from here--Vonage Broadband is a wonderful thing....I have a local number overseas! I was looking for ANY number for CH yesterday with no luck. They seem to have that info under lock and key... I'll check Google and Yahoo today and see what I find. When I get a number I will just call in the order to make sure everything goes the way it should. Again, thanks. You've been very helpful.

1-800-262-2001
Good luck!!

For new applications use 888-242-3837

The regular CSRs at the number emerald9999 gave above can no longer use the best codes when opening new accounts (but you'll need it if you get an account opened). Whether the phone application takers will accept an application with an APO address I couldn't say.

I got this one in an email. P7G It's not as good as the LMT codes, but it's a good backup if the others stop working.

UPDATE: They corrected the typographical errors for the DETAILS of the codes LMT, LMY and 38Y. Updated initial post.

APO ADDRESS DILEMMA SOLVED!!!!

I am fortunate enough to have a diplomatic pouch address option ( it only comes in maybe once a month tho...) I used that address with the P7G code and it worked. I tried calling the number emerald gave me, but it was busy the entire time.... So I went online and used the code. My plan is to change my address after a few weeks to the APO that way I will get my mailings in a timely manner. Hopefully that will work. The APO/FPO plan CH offers is not a deal at all. This worked just fine though.

QUESTION--I signed my husband up for the "refer friends and get 2 dvds" offer.... Does anyone know if I can get away with his name and email but the same address?

A BIG thank you for Emerald9999, Lizard, and D-Ball--I couldn't have done this without your help.
Shae

You can have 2 DVD accounts on same address (as my and my wife has). There is no need to refer as the deal is not worth the money. Instead join as regular using one of the better code. I think you will need to pay shipping on 2 free dvds so its not even free. Plus other person will have 5 commitments. (that is almost twice than with code meaning if two quit and rejoin again using codes you get 10-12 free dvds instead of 2+5)

No !! Dont do that, youll be signing up your friend.. or husband to a standard deal with 5 commitments. You cannot use a code for the reffered deal. Instead just sign up brand new usuing the best codes.

By the way, why did you care to donate an extra $5 to CH by using P7G ?

Okay, I will just sign him up seperately using P7G unless someone knows of another code.. THANK YOU Italian and zaq12wsx, I'm learning so much from all of you!

I honestly didn't know I was spending more...I used P7G because 38D, 38Y, 38YD and LMT all asked for PSN numbers which I don't have. I tried to wing a number once, but nothing ever came of it except an email saying APO users have another deal--which is really horrible (5+5 commitments)--Hopefully now that I'm lucky enough finally to have a decent account I can get even better deals in the future... We're kinda stuck with things like this over here, this code worked and I took it! Now I will be only 6-8 months behind in movies instead of 12-18 months!!!!! Unfortunately Israel doesn't have a black market for movies like Nepal and Thailand did!; Bummer.

You didnt need a PSN for P7G ??? You just gave me a very important piece of information... THANX.
