CH Enrollment Codes (Previously "Better Code Thread")

^6:1 codes, such as K7L, are the lowest cost codes around. They are described in the first post in this thread.
They only work on-line, not on the phone, and my impression is that only those who have had few or no previous accounts will get applications accepted. But they are worth a try if one is placing on on-line application.
A strategy note: it is often best to use the codes as 5:2 codes (skip the $14.95 bonus). Then you can buy a set worth two commitments as a fulfillment or you can use a B1G1F sale offer code to get two freebies.

been out of the game for awhile... just tried to call in a LMT enrollment, was stunned to hear its not valid... had a very nice CSR who asked me the details of my code, and said he would be able to get me that deal even w/o a code. Took CC info and no PSN. we'll see how this goes.

Don't know if it was the 42M code, me choosing "Bill Me" or my being taken off of CHs' infamous BlackList? Whatever it was, I was finally able to get an order @ one of my addresses for the 1st time in almost a year.
More than a year ago, I closed the accounts @ that address with "Deceased". Since then, I had no success even getting a letter of rejection in several tries (web & phone) - until today. I had decided to not try for a long while (8+ months) & then I tried last week.

fyi - Since the demise of the phone codes, I've been able to get two successive web apps approved (about 6 weeks apart). I was able to get the second one this past week despite the first still being open. I fit the profile of an account-cycler, so in the past web apps were very difficult. Hopefully, this is a sign that CH has loosened the web apps for those of us who cycle accounts.

Hey all, I just finished enrolling and paying via credit card. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to be able to access the website, I need a membership number, and how long it will take for the initial shipment of DVDs to arrive? Thanks!

This is strange. My web sign-ups would get "lost" like 95% of the time while all my phone applications would go through without a hitch. Now that all the good codes are being rejected over the phone, I'm having no problems getting HDL accepted over and over again online for the TV Club.

I just put a web app in on Sunday, received my confirmation, but have yet to receive my welcome email. Hopefully I'll get one today or tomorrow. This will be my 4th attempt at a web app since May. My eight attempt since November with only 1 success. I've only had 4 accounts in the past 4 years and have 0 open now. Hopefully this new one will work.
EDIT: Still no email. I'll wait a few more days and then I'll just do it by phone.

For now, I am marking time until CH offers HD DVD (I hope!). I also find plumbing the secrets of CH and optimizing purchases an interesting game.

Well, after several attempts at enrolling online and not getting anywhere (sometimes I didn't even get the "Thank you for your application" ones) I called and used the EBP code. I'll post on if and when I get accepted.

While the codes vary depending on which e-mail offer you are sent, the enrollment codes are generally useable by anyone.

Do any of the codes work now? I was going to place an order today (new enrollment) and I keep getting buy 5 more to fullfill commitment (4 if i buy one for $15). Shouldn't it be to only buy 2 more to fullfill my commitment with these codes?

I used LMT just the other day and it still works and it didn't even ask me for a credit card, only for a preferred number (I put in one of my other account numbers and it accepted it). I never thought the application would go through, I just did it to see if it would happen. Lo and behold in less than 7 days the dvds were at my house.

I hope this isn't redundant, so here goes. I received some postal mail today from the Columbia House TV-DVD club. The offer is for 2 DVD sets... billed $19.95 for the first, and the second for free, with free shipping. The committment is two purchases. This is like the HDL code, yes?
The code for this deal is 57D and I just tried entering it on the www.chtvedition.com site and received the following terms:
"It's true. Get 1 set free when you buy one set for $19.95, with free shipping on this order! All you need to do is buy 2 more DVDs in the next year at regular Club prices (currently as low as $19.95 each plus shipping and processing). You may cancel anytime thereafter by contacting Customer Service."
Anyhow, I hope this may be of help and/or interest to some of you.
