Thanks guys. I've always heard that two is the limit per DVD per person, but I'm not sure they should count if they aren't shipping. I'm going to think about it a bit more, but I may gamble and place that one last order for three more free titles. There's still one more of the high priced, non-enrollment titles I want to get. I suppose if I do get blacklisted it's no big deal since I have a new address that has no accounts, I could just start over there with new accounts.

Again I do not know the policy of if the movie does not ship did you order it, i do know all my items except three pre orders have shipped, the last one says pending but the email i got says item shipped. I would not make another purchase if you can not afford to get rid of the account. I also have various address as well.

I'm gonna go for it. If they're shipping yours and you ordered three of one title I should be safe. I'm sure not going for another after this though, this is it for me. I'd prefer not to be blacklisted at this address even though new ones are no problem at all.

Sorta have you been doing pre-orders if so are you waiting for pre-orders to ship?

In regards to my previous post, the second order was dropped this morning and only the free two titles remain with pending status as corysontag said would happen. I'm assuming that I'll be receiving a shipping notification within the next few days.

After these two titles come, I'm tempted to try this glitch one more time.

A number of my titles shipped before I got the email saying they shipped. I can only assume that if the title does not ship it is not ordered, I previous poster said he has used it 5 times, I tried another one and looks good.

On a side note someone try MI3 bluray already

Both of my orders(one from the 8th and one from the 10th)were showing pending and ****.Now,that has been replaced with an order number and $59.98 for each order.According to the site,the only order that has shipped yet is enrollment package,which I received last week.
Still not sure what the hell is going on.

Okay,thanks for the explanation.Guess i might as well try a 3rd time and snag some Criterions,even though they don't have Man Who Fell To Earth(just the Anchor Bay one) or Haxan.Oh,why the $%*# am I complaining?Free is free!

My 2 orders from last week say"awaiting credit approval".
So,does this mean since I do not have a credit card on file,they won't send me anything?
If Disturbia and Dreamgirls are going to"fall off"and my invoice will show a total of $0.00,why would they bother with a credit card for these particular orders?
I sent payment(for my enrollment selections) by money order yesterday.When this is received,is it possible "awaiting credit approval" will dissapear?
I don't want to bother with a credit card and it would be a but tricky since I was blacklisted once before.I might have to get a prepaid credit card and use my Aunts address(where my CH DVDs are delivered).
But,if I do that I would rather not have to put over $120 on it.But like I mentioned,these should really only cost me $0.00.
If I do place a CC on file with them and have only 10-15 bucks on it..well I don't know what they'll do.I just get the feeling that this is going to result in both orders being cancelled and I will receive 0 DVDs.
Anyone else here been able to take advantage of this glitch even though you have no CC on file with CH?

I would say the best way to deal with it in the future is use a credit card to pay what you owe, ie you place an order and select bill me, then later pay the amount due on-line using a credit card. They do get really funky when you place orders when you still have money due.

I use the bill me option and it took a few orders to be placed before they seemed to ship things regularly. Now they ship my order regardless of the price ( last paid irder was 60 bucks ) so it just takes time.

Came home on my lunch break and found 5 free DVDs in my mailbox. Unfortunately Knocked Up and Pan's Labyrinth didn't have the slipcovers but oh well. I guess you get what you paid for.

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?
So whatever became of Sleepy Hollow? Did they actually ship it or did it disappear like Dreamgirls?

I will probably do that.But,why would I need to prepay for these 2 orders,since the Blurays are supposed to drop off and I will just end up with an invoice for $0.00?
I have only been a member for almost 2 weeks so have not really had time to build up a payment history with them,just a money order for $12.89 to pay for my enrollment titles.

My Knocked Up didn't have the slipcover either,so I bought one at the store took the slipcover off and returned the DVD,done it many times over the years when it comes to CH orders.

Did anyone catch this in the sale thread?

1408 SE Free
Up In Smoke SE FREE

and today I went back to check and Lawrence of Arabia is completely gone from the order, and all three of the free items were still free. This means, if this is true, that I got a B1G3 free order. That is amazing! What a goof! Only bad news is that I have to find another fulfillment, I'm going to wait and see how this pans out...
Do we have another potential glitch? More free titles for everyone? Can anyone else confirm this?
