Box sets @ CH showing up @ 40% off

Anyone else getting this. There are no details on this on my sales page and I haven't got an email yet. I would like to know how long this is going to last so I can plan accordingly.

The FunCash weirdness is back too! If you add a box set to your FunCash cart, it will show up at 40% off in your cart. However, when you go to the Place Order page, the price drops down substantially(more like 55% off).

Do you usually get free shipping on boxsets during a free shipping on 3 sale, using funcash?

I'm pretty sure when I added the scorsese set to my funcash cart the other day, that's the way it showed up in the cart! I was just testing it out, while I await the rest of my order to be in stock so I'll get credited the rest of the funcash I earned, so then I can use it all on a boxset. With free shipping that would be killer!

Please tell me it's true.

Actually, on my account page, there is a pop-up saying "Get Box Sets up to 50% off". And no wierd Funcash show up.

I get this on my accounts today too. The scorsese set is 41.37, and the Hitchcock set is only 59.97! Wonder how long this lasts?

It's not showing up exactly like last time. It's showing up on the checkout page.

Just add items in cart and check that balance
Then hit go to checkout and check that balance, it's showing up in subtotal.

Hope this lasts until Friday.

I'm seeing the 55% too; however the prices on the Checkout page don't indicate that. The subtotal is where you see the price discrepancy.

I'm going to take a screenshot when I order just in case they charge me the other price. It'll give me something to email them as proof if there is a discrepancy and will give me a chance to cancel the order if I wish too.

Take screenshots people! Good luck

dont worry. The WEIRD price will show up in your "Account History". If you print that Order out, they SHOULDNT say anything.
One more question, should we add more than one item to Funcash cart to get the Discount????? I dont want to place any large order and get blacklisted.

Thank you, Upper Pylon 3! If this works out, I'll get Hitchcock Signature, The Critic, Beverly Hills Cop: Complete Line Up and Freaks and Geeks for 15.90, with $98 in Funcash remaining!

Thanks also to Sweet Baby James for pointing out the weirdness!

That's the operable word, here, SHOULDNT. If they say something, I'll be able to back it up on my end.

I am probably just going to go for the gusto, and order both of the boxsets I want at the same time. I can get both the Scorsese and Hitchcock boxsets for a little less than 67.00, barring my other funcash shows up very soon.

I don't think a large order (any mistakes in the order process are their fault) will get you blacklisted. Or if you are worried about all at once, make multiple funcash orders and spread your cash across them. It will come out to be a few more dollars total, but not by much.

I didn't get the Weird Funcash™ at first. But if you have enough Funcash to cover 45% of the item's MSRP, you should be able to get it. Say the box set you want is $100. Multiply by .45 and you have $45 as the Weird Funcash price. Your Funcash cart has the price at $60 ($100 * .60). Apply $45 Funcash to the order. Then proceed to checkout. If successful, the subtotal will be $0, and you'll only pay for shipping and tax on the shipping.

Not necessary. The only way to get Weird Funcash price is clicking on "Proceed to Checkout". Then the price will show up regular on the confirmation page. BUT it will have the Weird price back in your "Account History" page.

Preorders are also showing up at 40% off - ROTK:EE is only $23.97. It's too bad you can't use Funcash on preorders, but that's still a good deal, especially when combined with another offer like the free DVD with $35 purchase. (I just got ROTK:EE, Shrek 2, and Dr. Strangelove SE for $35.94 total).

Pop-up doesn't say 50% anymore, it says 40% now. Prices are still the same as far as i can tell though. Funcash is still all wacked out too

Same here, Man I don't need this now..........There is no way my wife will be pleased about me putting more on our credit card than we can pay at the end of the month. I am going to take this real slow and exercise some will power!
