802348 appears, to me, to be Buy2Get2(if you have 2 dvds left to fulfill membership obligation), and I've noticed on 4 different accounts, 1 fulfilled and 3 not, that the Free S&H on 3+ is not working just as you said.

I tried the code on all 4 accounts, and 1 of the accounts has 3 more dvds to fulfill obligation, and the code is showing as Buy2Get2.

I'm not sure what you're seeing deepsen. 802348 is showing up as a regular unlimited B1G1 just like jester posted.

When I tried it, I got the B1G2 banner w/free shipping on 3+.

Upon reaching the checkout phase, however, the deal reverted to B1G1 without free shipping (tried with 3 items...checkout listed one item as free but had charges for other 2, so no go).

Therefore, both of you could be right, since the banner indicates the deal...which apparently doesn't exist.

Unless the banner specifically says - B1G2 - then it is simply a b1g1 code.

CH does it all the time - this code is for people with 2 fulfillments left on their account - hence the 2 free DVDs verbage.

So no B1G1 w/ free S&H codes working presently? Seems like my timing has been off lately.

Doesn't look like it "yet". The 802348 & 802349 codes are not fully "activated" yet. Maybe this weekend?

similar experience on 2 of my multiple orders. 2 orders were intermixed, and i was charged for the 2 blurays, 6 of the titles were free, and they charged me 14.99 each for 2 of the titles. they also charged me for shipping and handling. i called and they gave me the same business. said order was placed by mail on the 4/24. i told them no, they were placed 4/11 and were B1G4 free with free shipping just like the other 5 orders i placed that day and have already recieved. she simply credited my credit card for the shipping charges and for the two 14.95 titles and all is good....

These two are dead on my account:
802228 - b1 + 50% off + 10% off order
802528 - b1 + 60% off + 10% off order


These are working and say they expire at Midnight 4/30/08, which is tomorrow, so I guess that's it for these:
802139 - b1 + 50% off + Extra 15% off Order
805139 - b1 + 60% off + Extra 15% off Order
805140 - b1 + 60% off + Extra 10% off Order
805147 - b1 + 60% off + Extra 20% off Order

, but they aren't working as advertised. It is not 10/15/20% off the entire order but only an additional %off of the title(s) purchased at 50/60% off. No % off the entire order and the first full price title is also not discounted. Meh.

These were working with the clearence titles a few days back but the free shipping part wasn't working then. Now you can't get a free $19.95 title with the purchase of a clearence title under $19.95.

Received via email today: 802336 Buy1Get1Free Unlimited, as mentioned previously by Jester is working. The code expires tonight, 4/30, at 11:59p, their usual cutoff time.

I received the email to an unfulfilled account, and I also tried it on 3 other accounts, 1 being fulfilled, and the code worked. Also, it worked on pre-orders.

I didn't try titles under $19.95 yet, or special-priced sale titles either. This code might not be very helpful to most, but just thought I'd point out that it does work as Jester said.

Just tested it on the under $19.95 titles; it doesn't work on them. No free shipping either so the other 2 B1G1 codes are better as they give free shipping. I wish the other codes still worked on the under clearence titles as they did a few days ago.

Buy 2 blu-rays get 1 free. Stacks with the b1g1 SD free shipping code. Works out to B2g3 free.

I guess this is a sign of good thing to come on Blurays in the future of the club.

One will come around again soon, I'm sure. As movieguru said...

I had also tested those codes with sub-$19.99 box sets, and they did allow B1G1 with sets down to $14.97. I don't know why the $11.97 sets don't work, even though their "list price" is $19.98, which is higher than a $19.95 regular DVD. Maybe because the $19.95 regular DVD has a higher "list price" (that they don't show us)? But I think I also tried an $11.97 box set with a $7.95 title, and that didn't work for B1G1, either. But it did work with a $14.97 box set.

For Friday Night Lights, though, I think you're better off waiting for a code for free shipping on box sets. A free DVD is only (commonly) valued at $4.80, but the shipping on that set is $6.99(?).

As someone who hasn't gone Blu yet, that seems like a good deal. Using the cheap $21.71 titles for the three Blu-Rays makes an order $43.42 for three Blu-Rays and two DVDs. Add that to the regular enrollment and you're looking at a $4.69/title average even with the three Blu-Rays included.

Honestly, I'm a bit tempted to fulfill my open account even though I haven't gone Blu yet.

I haven't gone blu-ray yet myself but it's tempting. Even under a fulfilled account it's an average of about $8.60 per dvd for 3 blu-rays and 2 regular dvd's. I haven't tested it on criterions but some of them may come out to free.

You can not put 3 pre-orders and get 1 of them as a freebie.

Just to clarify, we haven't seen a free shipipng on box sets which is also stackable with B1G1, have we? Been missing enough great codes lately that I wasn't sure...

^I haven't seen codes like that, either, that I remember.
But just to clarify what *I* wrote:
If I could choose between saving $6.99 on box set shipping OR "saving" $4.80 by getting a free regular DVD, I'd rather get the free shipping. There are a number of 3+ disc sets priced below $19.95 that are on my buy list that I would consider getting with a box set free shipping code, but that I won't get just to get a free $19.95 DVD.
