Use a browser with a pop up blocker and you will be able to use the cancel link. Otherwise, if you just write a message requesting cancellation in something like the Membership Obligation category, they will cancel for you.

Canceling by phone is painless, you don't have to talk to a person. 1-800-262-2001. I canceled an account last week.

Can you switch email addresses and credit cards and such? Give the account to me, so I can get in on this damn deal they have going on, and I'll use all my info.

I think Kory was under the (mistaken?) assumption that "CH" = "ch.com."

How long does it take for Columbia House to COMPLETELY cancel your account? I cancelled one a bit ago, and I can still login to make payments. Eventhough I have a $0 balance. How long until I am allowed to re-sign? I probably won't for a while, but just curious.

^If you canceled by phone, the account is closed immediately. If you canceled by e-mail, the account should be closed if you got a response that says so.

If you have only one account, opening another shouldn't be a problem even if your first account isn't closed yet.

Can you do anything with your on-line account except access the payment screen? If not, then your account is really closed. But I am surprised they would keep the payment access open if your balance is $0.

Yep. I can still access it. I did it by phone. Looks cancelled though. I just don't want to open another and have them freak. For whatever reason, a rep called for me today at my parents house asking if I still lived there. My dad said no, and they hung up. I just never updated my billing address when I moved. I've never had them call before. Kinda worried me.

Anyway, It just says:

"This account has been closed. Your limited access to columbiahouse.com
allows you to make payments and manage credit card only.
Your Outstanding Balance Is: $0.00"

It's cancelled. It will say that forever-I've got a cancelled account from over a year ago that still says the exact same thing.
