Thanks! I entered it and it acknowledges it and says I have .50 shipping but several times, when I put items in my cart, it would still show large charges for shipping and processing. Is this normal?

I am probably the only one who cares, but this sale is a good one, because as of late the free titles did not earn Funcash, but now they do.

Yes, I had box sets. Okay, so what is the best deal/codes on box sets once you have fulfilled and are a preferred customer? Thanks!

more than usually wait for a 40% off box set sale with free shipping when you buy 3 or more. or at least 40% off box sets.

This is a fine deal for those who have not fulfilled their accounts: buy fulfillments, get some pretty good DVDs for free.

It isn't useful for those who have already fulfilled their accounts IMHO because the average price of the DVDs is much higher than we usually pay.

Quit and join again. Don't order box sets on a fulfilled account. That's just what CH wants you to do!

There are some great selections but I already own them

I wish they could let us pick our own selections.

Probably a stupid question, but just need to clarify: The free one is limited to the 120 titles or does it just have to be of an equal or lesser value than the one you are paying for?

It's limited to the 120 titles. I tried to add a title that was not part of the 120 and it was not free.

I used this along with the $5 webdvd discount and the .50 shipping to fulfill for less than $40 shipped for 4 titles. Woohoo! I did have to hunt up titles, though since I'd used a couple of these to fulfill my last account (with the 9.95 deal).

Does anyone know how long this deal will last?... and more importantly, if I open another account (already have one) via the internet and use a credit card, how long will it take for me to get approved (I've never had problem with CH befor, but this is would be my first time having multiple accounts open at the same time) I'd like to use this a fulfillment deal. thanks.

^emerald smart on using this deal to fulfill.

A quick glance suggests that all of these titles are also available for enrollment. Am I missing something?

Indeed you are. Even if they are available for enrollment, if you buy one (or two) as a fulfillment you can get an addtional one (or two) for free. That makes it a good fulfillment deal.

Since one has to fulfill the account with something, the fact that fulfillments cost more than enrollments is irrelevant. Memberships are best looked at as a package, hence our tendency to calculate DVD cost averages for each membership. Adding a couple of free DVDs lowers that average by quite a bit.

lizard, I think you misunderstood. My question means meant to simply ask whether there were in fact any titles that were non-enrollments.

I agree that viewing CH memberships as a package deal is sound. But the idea of getting two enrollment titles for the price of one as fulfillments assumes that you have many enrollment titles you want, and few fulfillment titles (like sets NOT available as enrollments at the TV club.)

For me, I have most of the enrollments I want from 150+ previous memberships, but would like several box sets and other collections that only make sense to get as fulfillments, especially after funcash was so severely de-valued early in the year.

This is why I ask this question. If there are some titles worth getting that I need to get as fulfillments anyway, then this deal is a hot one for me . If not, I'd rather "spend" the fulfillments getting box sets and other non-enrollment titles, and save enrollment titles for the next membership.

With that in mind, I'll ask more precisely this time: has anyone seen any non-enrollment titles in the 120 listed that I might have missed? TIA
