My modest collection of 100 or so DVD's is a result of this form. I have been lurking for years and have decided to finally make a post. If you want to build up a DVD collection Columbiahouse is hard to beat. I usually get a new account every 3-4 months looking for the best codes/price-to-dvd ratio. Here is the last one.

From the "Better code Thread" I used code 1KJ. Or Grab 6(1) + 2 to fulfill. I have a few old PSN's but why bother? Details ..

Friday 1 selection $0.49
Munich 1 selection $0.49
The Green Mile 1 selection $0.49
Capote 1 selection $0.49
Blow 1 selection $0.49
War Games 1 selection $0.49
American Pie : Special Edition 1 selection $9.95

Total Items 7 selections

Shipping & Processing: FREE
Order Total: $12.89

One note. I always create a new hotmail account for each new CH account. In case I don't fulfill soon, I can always check for and Directors Selection E-mails.

Order placed Aug 7th. Welcome Letter sent the 10th. Order on the way letter sent on the 14th. Order arrived on the 16th... 7 business days later.

To fulfill. Used the $5 off webdvd offer. Then entered the code 807748 and fulfilling the last 2 got 4. Yes 4 free.

Ok.. so the shipping was a little rough but lets do some math.

$56.66
$12.89
----------
$69.55

Divided by 13 DVD's = $5.35 per

Ok. That is your baseline. If you can find DVD's cheaper. Buy em. Thanks for all the help over the years and I hope this helps anyone considering Columbiahouse.

Good post. Another happy CH'er.

I don't understand why you create a new mail address every time though. Why not just use the same one over and over (that way you only have to manage one mail account, not many)?

nice avg. price per dvd! hopefully this code stays around a little longer so i can get in this week!

bhome83

isn't the code 807748 a buy 1 get 1 free code? how did you end up with 4 free? thanks.

Legolas

Have you read the 807748 thread?

miles2912

The reason I create a new hotmail account is that once I fullfill, I ditch the e-mail and never check it. So I don't have to be bothered about pesky please come back and 'check this out' offers from CH. They probably don't base new accounts on past e-mail address but just in case...

I am going to miss the fullfill 2 get 4 for free when I do this again in a few months. Maybe there will be something similiar. Thanks to all those who track down the codes.

^I like those "we want you back" e-mails because they sometimes contain good new enrollment codes.

I recently fulfilled two memberships. One ended up $47.79 for 10 DVD's ($4.78 ea) and the other was $52.79 for 11 DVD's ($4.80 ea).

Gotta love CH.

Now if they'd just get HD-DVD and Blu-Ray....

bhome83

wow! so how did you get to under $5 avg. dvd? that is craZy

Due to the 807748 code, my last account averaged $4.69.
$60.99 for 13 single disc or double disc sets (22 discs total) including all shipping charges.

I've kept the same 2 e-mails for all of my accounts over the past couple of years. All I've noticed is when I cancel an account I will still receive e-mail offers about the latest CH sale. When the account was active, clicking thru an e-mail offer would automatically log me in to that account. When the account was cancelled (usually 48 hours after submitting an e-mail to CH customer service), clicking thru an e-mail only takes me to the CH homepage.

The e-mails for the old/cancelled account only last for a week or so. Usually by then I will have been approved for another account and clicking thru would take me to that new account.

Holy cow, yeah you win.

Nice. So looks like I have to try again and see if I can beat it.

Ok, fullfillment order took 5 business days to ship. I called in today to cancel and it was a series of prompts to cancel. I didn't get a CSR asking me to stay and offer me stuff. Another CH done. Thanks again all...
