It all depends on how you use the funcash I guess. For a fulfillment order it makes sense. You have to pay full price anyway on two DVDs so for a little bit more you can get a big wad of funcash which can equate to a slight increase or decrease to your cost per DVD depending on how you choose to use it. Now, if you have already fulfilled your club obligation, it makes less sense but will still probably be enticing if the funcash is used on a boxset. $46 for 3 DVDs _and_ a boxset (let's say the Godfather collection) via funcash is still a pretty good deal...

It does make sense. The new "triple fun cash sale" and the 006118 code stack.

Thus, pick an item from the e-mail sale, use the 006118 code and get nine times the fun cash*.

* assuming you hit the $35+ mark to activate the code

Anyone have a list of sets in the "triple fun cash sale"? When I follow and click on the "Sets & Collections" link, I get a "3-for-25 for him" offer. Does this happen for everyone else?

It's happening to me also...

That's a lot of Funcash for a $98 order... Hmmmm, very tempting...

006118 is dead on all my accounts. I think they pulled it

I was getting ready to place an order too.

I wonder if CH checks this site to see if they have any glitches in their website

I wonder if they will honor the funcash amounts on the orders already placed? I hadn't gotten around to ordering yet unfortunately.

Eliminate the first 2 00's in the code and replace them with any 2 other numbers and it will still work. I just place an order and got $54.00 in funcash.

If they don't honor the funcash amounts, I'll send them back.

What happened to abintra's post with the other 006xxx codes? Now that they have taken away 006118, perhaps another one would stack with the triple fun cash promotion. Sadly, the post seems missing now.

yep they honor it, all $72 givin...

Its possible that the codes are TEMPORARILY not working, you know how pathetic their site is. Another thing, you guys who think CH monitors this forum are CRAZY. I cant even imagine the MILLIONS of customers they have that use their service in a normal fashion.... Paying $10-15 per DVD regularly. I dont think CH even cares about us taking most advatage, we're a drop in the bucket.

My orders have been charged and funcash applied to my total .. $108 funcash for 2 orders.

Well put. That's why we're lucky to be here!

CH employee(s) DO "look" at the forum (didn't want to say monitor) ..I do not know how many or how often, but they DO know about dvdtalk.

I remember one deal that came around where I posted some strategy like "and if you use the Ultimate Matrix box set, you could actually fulfill with one, and get xyz free and really screw over CH!!!"

Within an hour or so, there was a modifier on the CH site for the deal's details which said almost verbatin that you could not do what I suggested, that box sets such as the Ultimate Matrix would not qualify. There's no way that was a coincidence. I even called them (CH) out in my next post.

If they didn't monitor this forum, they would be negligent. Think about how many thousands of dollars would be lost in one day if the wrong combination of codes were publicized here and the didn't quickly stamp down.

IMO they deserve credit for honoring unintended deals that folks do get. Killing them as as soon as they catch them is just good business.

I just went through the order process and did not see where to enter any promotion codes.
Can someone post how to use the codes or e-mail me?

Thankyou

After you log into the CH website, you will see your standard deal on the upper left side of the screen. Below this is some small text that says, "Looking for the offer in your mailing?" Clicking this link will open a small window into which you can enter promotion codes.

I think they completely killed the online codes (at least for now).

I even entered a valid code from my mailer and it wouldn't take.

I hope this isn't the end of using the codes. it was awful fun trying to see how you could get the best deal possible.

Yeah I tried last night and the website was all screwy.

Say, how often does a free shipping code/offer pop up? I'm a recently enrolled guy, and want to place a web order (with the $5 off) but will wait if there is a chance of cutting out the S&H charges as well.

In the past free shipping came around every three months or so and lasted for a month. Recently Columbia House has been having more frequent, but shorter, free shipping promotions. If you can wait for a month or two, you are likely to get a free shipping offer (or something even better, like B1G1: buy one, get one free).

Thanks for the info Lizard! I'll definitely wait for the free shipping to come around again. I'm in no hurry.


This board is fantastic.

I don't know if we are keeping track of sale codes but you might want to check out the New CH code for established accounts..... thread. Don't know if 854198 still works. Usually the sale offers on established accounts aren't very good and it is best to just buy your fulfillments and be done with the account. But when a good code comes along that can be used by everybody, it gets posted here in the Clubs forum. So, there may not be anything good out there right now.

Those characters are called "smilies" and a link to a list of them is on the right side of the reply to thread message box.

Nope 854198 is pretty dead I think.
