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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

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!

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."
