Still wouldn't work for me, even though it shows "Free Shipping on your order"

You might try the usual stuff. Log out, clear cookies, etc. I have no idea if it will work, but it's worth a shot.

Worked great, thanks!

My other problem is that I can't get "The Roaring Twenties" to work for getting a free 19.95 title, even though it's one of the Stocking Stuffer titles. Any help with that one?

Try putting the freebie in the cart first, then add "The Roaring Twenties". That usually works for me.

Hmm, I've tried dozen of combinations, even some of the same that others have gotten through, but I get "802334 is not a valid code" every time.

Ding! Ding! We have a winner! You'd think that after all these years of placing CH orders that I would have learned to try all possible combinations of putting titles in my cart

Can't get the free shipping to work with stocking stuffer title.

Tried several items, putting in the freebie first and then the 7.95 title. The cart correctly gives me the 19.95 item free & charges $7.95 for the sale item. However, it keeps adding $4.98 shipping.

Since the freebies were all 2-disc sets, I tried putting in some single-disc $19.95 titles...with the same results. Get the free item just fine, but shipping knocks the deal in the head since it makes total around $15 (including tax).

$7.95 (well, around $8.75 with tax) for two movies...great deal.
$14.95 for two movies...not so great.

At least the B1G2 is still working for me (although the order history keeps changing the free items from the "processed" stage to "backordered" status. Hopefully, that's just routine & not an indication of a snag.

^ See post #1500 for a way to make this work. The short answer: you don't have to use the code.

Wasn't using code. Site said Free Shipping on DVD order plus B1G1 until Nov. 17th.

So, whatever the glitch is, it doesn't involve use of the code.

I managed to get the B1G2 with a couple of different sets but for some reason I can't get it to work with Metalocalypse S2. Anyone have any ideas?

Seeing a lot of repeated questions here, over and over, as usual.

Why don't many of you read some posts before adding another? (Hell, I doubt many will even read this post, so what's the use?)

Thanks to those who have posted the recent codes, got some good orders in for xmas, etc. I would've posted something helpful myself, but apparently noone reads anymore

BTW, I posted a new datamine file last night, it might come in handy for trying to figure out what titles to get with these current sales.

BTW I placed three seperate 802334 B1G2 + $0 Ship orders. They all show "Back-Ordered" for every title. Hopefully, I just picked titles that are not easily accessible and the orders are not "dead".

All three of my titles are backordered too....however, I placed a funcash order for one dvd the day after, and that is also backordered, so hopefully it's not just w/ the code, and everything is backordered. Maybe they just don't keep anything in stock because of the lack of buying by consumers due to the horrible economy!

If anyone's interested, I just noticed a new batch of clearance titles when I clicked on the appropriate link. I don't know if I can convince myself to pick one up to use with a b1g1 purchase, but maybe there's a hidden gem there for someone.

Actually, big thanks for this reminder, there are a couple of high priced gems in there.

Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession gets the DVDTalk Collector's Series rating here, regular price 21.95. So for $7.95 you can get it and any other $21.95 title shipped free.

Tell Them Who you Are is also very highly reviewed, and $21.95 regular.

So at least two great options in the new batch of clearance titles.

Ha! I made the exact same orders: picked up JFK blu and The Fall blu. What'd you get?

FYI they have the upcoming Casablanca blu ray set listed, so I may try to find two more standard def. movies to throw in there.

I also went with those 4 titles as my freebies. I got Death Proof and Dark Knight Blu-rays as the paid titles.

Awesome. I tried to keep it as cheap as possible for my two orders, so I went for Madagascar and Superman: Doomsday.

I'd do it again if I could think of some more SD DVDs that I'd want to pickup. I'm thinking about doing it and using the two SD DVDs as Christmas gifts. Would that be incredibly cheap of me?

Agreed. Everybody wants to write their problem and want answer right away. Nobody wants to read. It has been a problem for a while. Every single time I read a new post Its always something to do with how they can not enter the code and how some titles dont work with B1G2. It explained over and over and over again. Now some of you are going to say "I am sorry but I do not have time to read the entire thread" or " I have a job and I am working and can't spend my precious time to read every single post" . Well most of us are in same situation. You only need to look couple of posts above to get an answer for your question thats all I am saying.
BTW Thanks for the datamine.
