Be careful what you encourage people to do.

hmmmm, i didn't get $1.99 shipping, but here's the order I put in.
Dreamgirls Showstopper Edition - Blu-ray $29.96 Sale Price 04733408
Knocked Up (Unrated)Collector's Edition Free Sale Price 04795308
300 Special Edition Free Sale Price 04707105
Sleepy Hollow - Blu-ray $22.46 Sale Price 04733606
So, I should see the Dreamgirls and Sleepy Hollow put on backorder and eventually cancelled, but still get the Knocked Up and 300 for free? Since both titles will get cancelled, do they still count towards fullfilment of my membership?

I did this two times - once to get Hearts & Minds Criterion for $2.xx, and a second time to get The Red Shoes Criterion for $2.xx, so thanks for pointing out the code guys.
Also, just for the record, yes Disturbia did indeed totally disappear from both orders giving me the $2.xx price for both.

i received a letter in the mail today from CH saying that they could not send me disturbia (BR) because they no longer carried the title. so i guess that pretty much makes it official.

I can't help but laugh at just how CH continues to totally confuse me. If they know that they don't have it, and can't get it, and are sending letters out stating as such, then why don't the morons take that title off of their site to keep people from ordering it?
The same thing goes for the Viva Pedro set. It's been months and months, it's an obvious price mistake, but they wont take the time to correct it.
I just don't get CH at all, but as long as it benefits all of us, that's fine by me.

By the way, my order the other day for Disturbia and The Ruling Class worked out fine. Disturbia dropped and I was charged $1.99. Pretty damn good for a Criterion.

Disturbia Blu-ray dropped off and I'm getting Serenity CE (free) for 1.99 (shipping). Dreamgirls Blu-Ray dropped off, but they ARE shipping Sleepy Hollow Blu-Ray along with my Knocked Up CE (free) and 300 SE (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 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 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!
