Props to OP !!!

I picked up Cheers, seasons 1-3, and Married With Children seasons 1 and 2 for a grand total of $81.90 (including S&H) - after using $32 in funcash. Averages out to $16.38 per set, and especially good because it is near impossible to find the Cheers boxsets for anything less than $30 anywhere.

Just curious... how do you end up with $32 in funcash.

I always cancel my memberships after fulfilling, and sign up again for a new membership. It's hard to beat the ~$7/disc average.

For a total of $108 and change. Not too bad at all. Does it always asterisk the prices out on pending orders though?
Asterisks mean something is up with your account. Better fire off an email to them.

They can't, it's against the law. Call them up and tell them to give it to you for the agreed on price or to give you a refund. Also inform them that they should credit you for return shipping.

Actually, I'd probably threaten to report them to my local AG.

On my account page it shows:
Payments
Date Order Number Payment Type Amount Paid


9/17/04 181150001xxxx MasterCard $30.97
Which is the correct amount.

Print out everything.

Eric F- on the Account Page is your order still in the "Outstanding FunCash Orders" category or in the "Completed FunCash Orders" category? Did you receive an email that it shipped? Thanks

Outstanding FunCash still.

If they attach an extra charge on there they're treading in dangerous waters.

Just a reminder that the great prices show up whether you apply any fun cash money to the individual selections or not. In fact, some report that the selections that they did not apply fun cash to in fact earned more fun cash. You must only apply at least $1 to one item. So the best strategy would seem to be to apply the max to one selection, and zero to others, thus earning fun cash on the latter while paying the same price in the end.

Well I had $8 in fun cash and ended up getting Simpsons Season 2 for $22. So I thought that was a pretty decent deal. You can't find it that cheap anywhere.

Man, you snooze, you lose around this place. Just last night I was "prepping" my FC cart with sets I wanted to get w/my FC. Guess I'll have to cut back by 1 set now - that'll use all the FC in that account with just the other 2 sets.

Still, I'm happy. My other 2 orders are shipping.
