It seems like its $40. Just add the selection to your cart and it says how many it counts as.

damnit! I want to get Batman Vol 1 and 2, but they're $35 each...not quite enough to count as 2 fulfillments.

I signed up on the 11th with HDL but it sees to have disappeared. Tried again today; we'll see what comes of it. . . .

I signed up for an account (using titles available on the web page) last week and I have been approved. Today I ordered Raging Bull SE and The Untouchables SE to fulfill the account.

How do you select titles that are not listed on the web page when joining the TV Club?

I signed up for 2 TV accounts since I did not have any existing open accounts. So far, I have only been approved for one account. I wonder if they only limit you to one TV account at a time.

Unlike the regular DVD club, there isn't a pattern to which TV sets are available for enrollment. It's pretty hit or miss. Hence those above who are using item IDs to try to order anything they want regardless of whether or not it is listed on the enrollment website.

thanks! I have been reading the thread but apparently I did not go back far enough. I applied for a second account with a title not listed on the web page.

The fulfillment credit schedule was modified awhile back. The new numbers:
$19.95 to $39.94 counts for one
$39.95 to $59.94 counts for two
$59.95 to $79.94 counts for three
$79.95 to $99.94 counts for four
$99.95 and up counts for five

-Source: the Columbia House catalog included with the enrollment package.

The FAQ is out of date on this topic as is the information on the CH website. But the website applies the fulfillment credit correctly for box sets.

I'd suggest using different email addresses each time - that way you tell by which address they sent the welcome email to.

It's been my practice to NEVER mix info from one account with another. Each get their own email address, street address & CC # (which matches the street address for billing). That way there is no direct tie-back to any of the others.


BTW - If any of you guys do get approved for an app that used the cut/paste item id method from above, be sure to let us know. As for my experience last time, it (approval) would be a 1st.

I've never had 2 simulataneous accounts, so I will make a note of this for next time.

Both my requests were for cut/paste, off list items.

Yea, if you don't, then CH could potentially cross-reference your info (email, cc or address) & see that you have more accounts than you should. Myself, I have one email per address with at least 1 CC for that combo. Once a CC is used for an address, it stays with that address - same with the email address.

Has anyone gotten this offer on their account?

Remember, your current offer is:
Take ALL DVDs at up to 50% off!
when you buy 1 at regular price. Plus, get FREE SHIPPING on purchases of 3 or more! Restrictions apply.



I can't get the free S&H to work - even with 3 titles.

If one of your accounts that got approved was indeed from off-list items (and more reports start coming in), this could get real interesting real quick...

As I said before, I'm not sure which one of my accounts was approved. I applied for ST:TOS S1&S2 and Sliders/Battlestar Gal.

I suspect the later one.

You'll have to let us know. Then again, maybe CH only sent you Sliders w/a raincheck for a non-qualified title (Battlestar)??? Keep us posted.

I just saw CC confirmation on my 3rd approval - one per each address I keep. The last 2 appeared to have been approved within 24 hours of entry - that's FAST!!
