Already had 8 1/2 and picked up 2 other Criterions the first time around. Gonna go for the last two this time. Who here holds the record for most overall enrollments?

I don't cycle through accounts as fast as I used to, but I've been a member in a Columbia House Club since the early 80's. I'm waiting for them to give me a 25th anniversary present.

I've probably have had well over 50 since January 2003 when I first joined on the 5 for $25 and no commitments. Back in 2005 when they had the awesome deal of 3 $14.95 titles for $25, free shipping and they counted towards your commitment I must have gone through 20 accounts in that 4 month stretch.

My first account, I hope it goes through. These are all some DVDs I've wanted for awhile so I'll be glad to do this.

The Searchers 50th Anniversary Special Edition 1 $0.49
Double Indemnity Legacy Series 1 $0.49
Some Like It Hot Collector's Edition 1 $0.49
