Thanks. Just put in an order with my second account for Disturbia and Dreamgirls with Superman Returns SE and The Red Shoes Criterion as the free discs. Used code 802332 to give free shipping as well, so if all goes as planned those two titles will be completely free.

Thinking about going back to my first account where I already used Disturbia and placing another order with Dreamgirls this time to get either Mission Impossible 3 SE or Pan's Labyrinth SE. Obviously I'd like to do even more, but I'm a bit afraid of placing more than one order for each OOP title on each account.

I just tried it with Disturbia Bluray,MI3 Bluray,Monster Squad 20th and one of the Star Trek movies.
So,I'll see what happens.

I did it twice using Disturbia on my one open account and it worked for both orders. On each, Disturbia has dropped off. I also noticed that when using my card to do it, CH placed a temp charge. I fully expected as such since that's what they do to me. I placed a large order a week or two ago, they charged me for everything including the pre-orders, and then after a few days the charges dropped off then started to show up as the DVDs were released.

Now, even though I expected that, I did decide to call CH and have them change my account to "Bill Me". I called them Thursday or Friday to request the change, they said it would take a few days to show up, and sure enough I have the "Bill Me" option on my account now, as well as an option to still pay using a credit card at the time of placing an order.

I think I'll try this trick again now that I've changed that over. :)

I just checked my account and sure enough, the $37.04 temp charges are now gone and have been replaced by the $2.11 charges for the free ones.

Awesome.I will have to try this again too.
I am still a teeny bit upset about CH ending their CD club(though it was what,2..3 years ago?),so any chance I can get to take advantage of their mistakes and save a bundle,I'll do it!

b2net 10-09-07 10:55 AM

Pulled the trigger. My hopes are that this works as well for me as it has for others.

Dexter Douglas 10-09-07 10:56 AM

My free copy of the 2-disc 1408 shipped on Thursday. I gave it a shot again on a mulitple b1g1 order, and it appears to have worked again.

rider555 10-09-07 04:11 PM

Okay folks,I am confused.
I just looked at my order history.
Ocotber 5 shows my enrollment order $9.95(plus shipping).Nothing wrong there.
October 8 shows the order that I placed using the code mentioned in this thread and my order consists of Disturbia Bluray,Showgirls Bluray and my 2 freebies;total is nearly 60 bucks
Above that it shows October 8 again.It is the order I mentioned above(Disturbia,DG and my 2 free ones).BUT,there is no order number,no listing of what is in this order and no mention of the order total.Instead it just shows *******.

Is this normal?If it works,than instead of $59.98,it should list the 2 free ones and $0.00?Right.

I hope so,as I would like to place another order like this to get another couple free ones.Oh yeah,it just works with Disturbia bluray,DreamGirls bluray and MI-3 bluray,correct?
I know CH has a strict policy of ordering more than 1 title,so I don't wanna risk getting blackballed since I just got my first CH account in over 18 months.

My mistake.It does list the titles and selection mumbers,but price is *****

JoN8282 10-09-07 04:37 PM

free dvd and letter stating disturbia is no longer available both arrived today - i love CH :)

Brent L 10-09-07 05:36 PM

I got Hearts & Minds Criterion and The Red Shoes Criterion in the mail today. :)

sumdeus 10-09-07 06:15 PM

I don't think anyone mentioned this but CH monitors the number of copies of a particular title that each person orders and anymore than 2 copies could lead to black listing. As always, proceed at your own risk.

The question here is whether an unfulfilled order for an item counts in that total, no? Also, I think that limited (of 2) may have been raised in recent years-- especially now that they push "Buy another one as a gift..."

Good call. If you order two copies of a movie that never came did you REALLY order two copies? It's like if a tree fell in the woods and there was no one around would it make a sound? :) You may be right on the number but all experiences I have seen has shown that 2 copies is safe and any more than that is iffy.

New Rambler 10-09-07 08:20 PM

Rider555 - sometimes you get those ***** when there's a problem, but sometimes they appear for a few days after you order, then disappear.

I certainly hope they disappear than.I don't know what Disturbia is and I have absolutely no desire to watch Dream Girls.

sotra 10-10-07 07:36 AM

So, can anoone confirm whether or not MI3 bluray works as well?

DisneyDVDFAN 10-10-07 08:46 AM

okay i placed an order for disturbia blu ray and dreamgirls blu ray with two free dvds Disturbia dropped off but dreamgirls blu ray is "awaiting credit approval" and didn't drop off yet ...

well i placed the order October 9th... so my question does DREAMGIRLS blu ray drop off or not ? I mean i don't own it anyway but still didn't really want it ... but either way is fine i guess...

riotinmyskull 10-10-07 08:59 AM

^ mine dropped off

I'd like to know too. I've already ordered the other two on each of my accounts. If MI3 can be confirmed by anyone I'll grab it on both accounts as well.

Clayman32 10-10-07 12:57 PM

So I have it right,Dream Girls BR works as well?No word yet on whether MI 3 BR works too?

larry47591 10-10-07 01:45 PM

disturbia and dreamgirls have both worked for me.

b2net 10-10-07 03:51 PM

So far looks good. Ordered Distrubia and Dreamgirls with two others for free. Originally the order was 59.92 (29.96 *2 + free shipping). Now the order is $0.00. The curious thing is that the order also added $4 funcash. I had assumed that would dissapear as well. Well so far it has not. If all works well, it will cost $0.00 for 2 DVDs and $4 funcash. Thanks OP.

I've noticed the same thing with the funcash. I expected it to disappear but it doesn't seem that's happening. Granted funcash isn't particularly useful, but I'll take it. You never know when another glitch will make funcash extremely valuable again.

corysontag 10-10-07 11:57 PM

I also placed orders with disturbia and dreamgirls all three orders dropped showing free movies 3 total for 1.99 each. My question is if they never shipped dreamgirls and disturbia did i ever order them how long can this go on?

joltman 10-11-07 06:32 AM

So has anyone done multiple orders with this? If so, did you wait for one to complete before you did, or did you do them in short order?

riotinmyskull 10-11-07 07:14 AM

i've done 2 with disturbia and 2 with dreamgirls within a little over a week's time.

Rendle 10-11-07 07:35 AM

At one point do you see the charge has dropped off?

cziffra 10-11-07 09:23 AM

This glitch keeps getting better. I just placed an order with code 802334 and it worked like a buy 2 get 3 free code with free shipping. I tried various combinations of Disturbia and Dreamgirls with three other DVDs, and all three DVDs are showing up as free.

Damn. I finally decide to get in on this last night and I could have gotten an extra movie for free! Oh well, maybe I'll try this one more time on a different account. Thanks for the info, cziffra!

Brent L 10-11-07 09:39 AM

I just added five items to my cart, just to see if it would work for me, and yeah, I can confirm that it works.

The default code/page has a "Buy 4, get the 5th free" right now-- it seems to be applying no matter what code you use. On the receipt, the 5th DVD is even marked differently (Sale Price (-$XX.XX)), where normally it just says "Sale Price" or "Regular Price."

I made an order on Wednesday night and both Disturbia and Dreamgirls were dumped this morning.:)

corysontag 10-12-07 10:53 AM

Has anyone been able to confirm MI3 I have placed three orders using the other two

DisneyDVDFAN 10-12-07 12:11 PM

Yeah Dreamgirls BLu ray finally got dumped but now everything is "awaiting Credit approval " ... hopefully they ship soon :) nice deal

thanks

sotra 10-13-07 10:37 AM

Got 8 free DVDs out of those 2 blu-ray titles :) Now if somebody confirms MI3 I'll get 4 more :)
Btw, how come CH doesn't have Dark Crystal and Labyrinth 2 disc versions?

b2net 10-13-07 11:53 AM

Works great with 802334 when it is working. 802334 is a B1G1 Free. Buy 2 (Dreamgirls Blu & Disturbia Blu) and get 2 free. CH is also running a 5th free. So take one more. That makes B2G3 Free and when the Blu's drop, it is 3 Free. Wow.
