what the heck, anyone had this problem before?
I put in my enrollment order like 5 days ago, got email yesterday with account number, register, and guess what, it saids that i'm already a preffered member!! And it saids that I dont need any more commitment purchases....should I go ahead to use these b1g1 free shipping codes to fullfill anyways? when these numbers expire? |
supaet - that will change within a day or two. Suggest you wait until the account "thinks" you need fulfillment credits and then place the order with the new code.

I already signed up for a new one today. Hopefully Ill know if it goes through by next week :) |
It looks like a number of folks are fulfilling with individual titles. Some may also wish to consider this as the best time to buy those $29.96 sets you've been wanting. Not only do they allow you to pick up another one for free; but the savings on shipping of a three or four disk (or more) set is very significant.
Personally, I'm looking at pre-ordering Tales from the Crypt and another 29.96 set and picking up Corpse Bride and Where the Truth Lies (should show up Tuesday) as the free titles. Here's the math: B2G2 w/individual titles: 12.89 + (19.95 x 2) - 5 = 47.79 / 11 = $4.34 per DVD B2G2 w/29.96 sets: 12.89 + (29.96 x 2) - 5 = 67.81 - (9 * 4.34) = 28.71 / 2 = 14.35 per set. So, the choice is saving 1.52 each on the tenth and eleventh individual titles OR picking up the sets for 14.35 (a savings of about $8 versus buying these through CH during a no-code, no-free shipping period). Just food for thought! :) |
I got:
Midnight Cowboy SE All The Presidents Men SE Network SE Dog Day Afternoon SE I forgot to use the code for free shipping, so I guess I'll have to call up and do it over. Whoops! Should come to $39.90 shipped. |
Wait.. I'm confused. I need 3 selections to fulfill my account.. does that mean I HAVE to do the B3G3, or can I do the B2G2 FS and leave the other fulfillment for later?

But it'll come out to something like $60 and I don't have a creditcard, and I'm astudent, so I'll have to save it up.. lol. Oh well, it does sound like a good idea so yeah.

Okay, I got:
Annie Hall 2046 Birth Broken Flowers :) But I just noticed that my account information says "Ms." and I'm a guy... should I call them up and tell them to change it, or would it be too much of a hassle/is it no big deal? |

Unless your self-conscious about it, I wouldn't bother. It's no big deal. You might even be able to have two identities, a Ms. and a Mr. ! and open more than 2 accounts like themeloman did. But having more than two accounts can potentially lead to blacklisting, so I don't do it and don't recommend it, so you didn't hear it from me ;) |
Awesome, awesome, awesome! Persistence in waiting pays off!!! Running to CH right now to do some shoppin!!!
|
I need to fulfill 2 accounts, one regular and one TV. Only problem is there aren't any movies or sets I want/need anymore that aren't available for enrollment!
And if I fulfill with 8 of those then I won't have a short list of movies to start a new account anymore! Decisions, decisions... |
Thanks to the op for the post. I've been waiting for a free shipping code to fufill, but this worked out better. I got the set I was going to order anyway(Smallville season 3) and 8 1/2 criterion collection for free with free shipping to boot.

Perhaps the policy has changed; I haven't tried to apply for a third open account in some time and some others occasionally report here that they have more than two open at the same time. But, for most of us, keeping open accounts to two or fewer isn't a problem and seems to keep CH happy. Hence, our recommendation here to limit open accounts to two per club. As always with CH, YMMV. * The exact wording of such a letter is as follows: January 03, 2005 Dear Applicant: Thank you for your recent interest in Columbia House. We appreciate receiving your new application. Our records indicate, however, that we already have two active accounts at your address. Ordinarily, Club policy limits the number of accounts per household to two. If there is a special reason why you need another account, please tell us in the space below and we will do our best to accommodate you. We are pleased with your enthusiasm for our Club, and we wish you all the enjoyment of the best in home entertainment. Cordially, Dennis Chandler Customer Service [How would you interpret such a letter?] |

Just food for thought! :) Interesting. I ordered Tales from the Crypt and Dr Strangelove - 40th anniversary after reading your post and the other thread. Total was slightly under $30; these are about $23-$24 each on dvdpricesearch. The criterions would also be good choices, but I think I have those. I thought that, at one time, there was a thread here that showed the list price and columbia sale price for all titles so that it was relatively easy to track down the good deals. Does such information exist? Also, given the free shipping and BOGOF, does it make sense not to take that 6th selection for $14.95 if you're opening a new account? |

Does such information exist? But the current data mines have incomplete pricing information due to difficulties with the Columbia House websites. |
Since at least Oct 2004 the policy has been you can have as many approved for. Right now I have 4 accounts open..same address..same name...same credit card. It's all about their scoring system. They have points. You get more points if you use a home number over a cell. If you're submitting it through mail you get more points if you use black ink over blue, etc.
