What dvds have you gotten?
Awhile back, when these sites were quite popular, there was a thread where people could list what dvds they got. Seeing as how there might be a little resurgence (with the emergence of some new offers), I'd like to start that thread again. So post what you've received. I've got some points to spend and need some ideas.

What were your cost breakdowns for the above titles?
Also, can you still receive an Amazon GC from freedvds.com instead of ordering via them using the 1000 points=$20 breakdown?

I'm not quite sure what you mean. So I'll say that I got them from FreeGiftPlanet.com, which is the same as FreeDVDs.com in my book. I believe the 2500 points per $50 is still in effect.
As for my breakdowns, I can't offer a specific number. Speaking in terms of net cost, I've made money by getting GCs, gas rebates, and assorted freebies that I've resold. Free DVDs and then some.
I have two addresses, my parent's house and my apartment for college. I am able to do all the offers twice.

Do you happen to know how long the gift cards remain good for? I couldn't find that info on the site.

My gift certificates were good for two years. I do believe it depends on the gift certificate you request, though.
FreeGiftPlanet.com does have Borders giftcards, which have no expiration. They can be used at the Borders.com site, which is run by Amazon. The prices and media selection are the exact same as Amazon, and you can even use Share the Love there, too. I'd recommend spending your points on those.

Nice work ruk. I had an interesting experience with freedvd4me recently, as well. Several weeks ago I completed 2 bonus offers; one for Goodfellas SE the other for The Girl Next Door. I completely forgot about them. Just last week I received an email requesting that I send 2 confirmation emails for 2 of the offers I completed for the bonus dvds, so that they could credit my account and get those 2 dvds in the mail.
Completely unexpected. I remember the days when I had to fight wtih them for points. Now they're reminding me that they owe me points/dvds.
