Where did these numbers come from?

Normally, the intro package is $17.40 (5 x $.49 + $14.95).

And the extra $5.18 on the 6 for $50?

the 5.18 was tax, you're right about the 17.40, I had gotten the number from my order history. After looking at the detail it only shows the 14.95+tax for the 6th.
so it should be

17.40+1.43(tax) + 50+5.18(tax) / 12 = 6.17, still not too bad.

How are people getting free shipping? When I try to checkout, it still charges shipping. Is the offer detail page that mentions free shipping whey buying 3 titles a mistake?

I see free shipping for three or more titles on the details page - has that been there all along? I didn't get free shipping when I placed my order Monday, and I still am not - though my other account is now showing that the 3 for $25 counts toward commitment, whereas it was not before.

Free shipping is gone today, but I called and the CSR said I should have gotten it on my order Monday, so refunded my $12.94.

Average price - $5.20 !!!

The website may be glitchy, but customer service will always take care of you. I love this club!

My new account that just opened shows the 3-for-25, but has no mention of free shipping. The website got a bit strange when I started putting 14.95 titles into the cart. After the first three, it showed two of them counting as .33 commitments but the third showed "regular price". Upon adding a fourth, it also showed regular price. Then, as I removed and re-added titles it eventually reached six - all showing either .33 or .34 commitment. I made sure I had a printout of that screen before hitting "process order". Strange..........(but normal for CH)

That is the way it is supposed to be. Nothing strange about it at all.

Either you're joking(?) or you didn't read my message correctly. Upon placing the first three in the cart all three should have read .33/.34 commitments (i.e. I had earned one commitment for the 3for25 purchase). As I said, at that point I had three in the cart, two for 8.33 with .33 commitment and the third showing 14.95 (no commitment credit). I was posting that info as a heads-up for others who might inadvertently miss the "glitch" and wind up with a less-than-optimal purchase.

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but they are now allowing some $19.95 titles for the 3 for $25 sale - but these don't count for commitment. The $14.95 titles still do, however.

If you click in the sale link there is a whole page of them - SWAT, Freddy vs Jason, Mona Lisa Smile, etc.

Don't forget to mention Gigli!!! Surely you all want to buy that one... (is that even worth $8.33???)

You could get it like-new at Amazon marketplace for under $3 + $2.50 shipping.

I put a bunch of $19.95 titles in my shopping cart and found that when I had SWAT in there that the 3 for $25 didn't count as a fulfillment for me. When I removed it and replaced it with a different $19.95 title they counted as a fulfillment. YMMV.

I was also able to mix a $19.95 title (Runaway Jury) with a couple of $14.95 titles and have the 3 count as 1 commitment for $25.

Yeah - it seems to be acting weirder than usual, sometimes it will accept it and sometimes it won't. Almost seems to depend on the order they appear in the cart.

NCY - that was my conclusion after encountering the same behavior a week ago (see my first post from 10-1 above). I was able to achieve the 6-for-50 fullfilment I wanted, but it took some coaxing (removing/adding the titles from the cart several times) in order to get the shopping cart screen to show the desired .34/.33/.33/.34/.33/.33 commitment credits.

Viking - I can't get it to count for commitment with SWAT Fullscreen (linked on the sale page) but if I search for the WS version, it works.

Also, I got an email for free shipping on three for 48 hours, but it only seems to count when doing the 40% off sale.
