3 for $25 gone?
I don't know if this deal was available to all, but there has been a 3 for $25 deal on my new account (week old). Today I couldn't find it, and the titles in my cart were priced regularly. So, anybody know full details about this sales details and disappearance? Thanks.

When I got to Specialty Shops there is still a 3 for $25 section, but when I add titles from those pages they are full price in the cart. So, I'm seeing the same thing you are.

I think it is gone. A CSR told me on the phone last week that she got a memo that it had ended, and couldn't redo a lost order with the 3/25 deal- but I was still able to redo the order online. It appears now that they've taken the deal off the site, though.
That sucks- and I had just found six more $14.95 titles that I was going to fulfill my next account with

Too bad. Fortunately, I only had about 4 more $14.95 DVD's on my want list. 3-for-25 coupled with free shipping was a great deal. Maybe it will be back; or perhaps we'll see a return of the 4-for-30 deal. With CH, I've learned to buy now when the good deals are active.

Not only is the 3-for-25 gone, I actually got some serious push-back from a CSR today when I called to get my two fulfillment credits for a 6-for-50 purchase. He really focussed in on the fact that I used the $5 web discount and stated rather matter-of-factly that I was NOT entitled to a fulfillment credit for the set that included the $3.33 title. Of course, I told him to check my history and that I had been granted such credit at least 6 times in the last several months; to which, he replied, "OK I'll do it just this one last time but then that will be it." I then mentioned that it was largely academic since 3-for-25 was gone. We agreed, had a friendly parting, and that was that....

Yeah, I've been having an increasingly harder time getting the 6/50 fulfilled over the phone- even before the deal ended. I'd recommend anybody that needs to correct the glitch do it quickly, as it's likely to become even more foreign to the CSR's (no pun intended) now that the 3-for-25 doesn't exist anymore.

The ending of the 3for$25 sale is a crying shame, but we should be grateful that it lasted as long as it did. I managed to fulfill my most recent membership using it. However, let me point out that the current Oscar "3for$22" offer is better in some ways that the previous one: I just purchased 3 $19.95 titles for that price, plus tax, and I got free shipping!!! That is like "buy one get two free." I can't argue with that at all. I am sure that we will see 3for$25 again in the next few months, along with free shipping. As long as CH faces competition from online stores like DDD or DVD Empire, they will continue to offer sweetheart deals like these to compensate for their abysmal customer service.

Scott - unless the 3-for-22 counts as a fulfillment, it is not as good as the normal deal. Your average price for those three (7.33) is more than you could buy them for under a "normal" current best deal. I believe the current average per DVD is as follows:
buy 7 for 12.89
fulfill with 2 @ 19.95 w/$5 web discount
That's 12.89 + 19.95 + 19.95 + 4.98 (shipping) - 5 = 52.77 / 9 = 5.86 per DVD
buy 7 for 12.89
fulfill with 2 @ 19.95 w/$5 web discount
That's 12.89 + 19.95 + 19.95 + 4.98 (shipping) - 5 = 52.77 / 9 = 5.86 per DVD
