That'sAllFolks

Actually for all the phone calls, they did refund me TOO MUCH money ... not enough to make up for the time I spent or the hassle, but I made out a bit.

McButton

I got them to transfer $78 in funcash to my current account. Should have been there to begin with. I still have a CLOSED account that I can access and order with, that has $2 left. I told them to close any that I can login to, and this is still alive and kicking. I think I've only CYCLED accounts once. I've left and come back a few times over the years due to Director's Selections constantly coming that I cancelled. Even after they said I would be done with them.

If you're not posting a code, go post in the main forum. Geezum people.

Unlimited Lives in Contra. Not a better code to be listed in the history of codes.

805643 gives me $6 FC on even $7.95 titles (which are ~$3 after the 60% off). This is what it shows in cart, haven't checked out yet.

homern3d

Just placed a 20-item order with 805643 (B1G60% off + $6 FC per DVD)

$125 paid, $120 FunCash earned.

Sweet Baby James

There's also free shipping on box sets for my accounts.

Sweet Baby James

They have this title listed as a pre-order with a release date of December 15. However, it comes up as a freebie with one of the BOGO codes. The selection number is 5274600.

Cardsfan111

Wow. Just noticed that. No code needed...my banner reads this weekend only, strange since it's mid-week. Works well with the b1g1 code mentioned earlier.

Chip718

Code 802334 says "Blu-ray and HD-DVD Buy 1, Get 1 Free Offer", can anyone get it to work for anything except standard DVDs?

Ignore everything in this post if you are not interested in cycling accounts.
(And yes, I feel this is an apropriate place for this post because people may want to compare the values of the codes for themselves when deciding which to use.)
Try not to brag about FC. It's still just about worthless, even at $6/disc. If you have no interest in cycling accounts, it can be worth it. But as I've shown in calculations before, it's really only worth about $.09/FC$1. Your average will be a little better if you buy 6 discs at once, though:

$2.99+5*1.99=$12.94, compared to 6*$4.80=$28.80, means your FC$120 is worth about $15.86, or about $.13/$FC.

You just spent $138 for 26 discs, but if you cycle accounts, you could have spent $125 for 26 discs. Not much difference, but like I said, if you cycle, you would have saved a little.

Also, to spend $125 on 20 discs, using a 60%-off code, it looks like you got mostly $14.95 titles, or a mix of $9.95 and $19.95, or something. If you had gotten all $19.95 titles, your final cost after 20 discs would have been something like $171.

By cycling accounts, you could have gotten all $19.95 (or in some cases $21.95, $22.95, or even $24.95 titles) in that group of 20.

So, if you're planning to cycle accounts, don't waste time generating FC. Join, fulfill, close, repeat. There's no financial advantage to FC anymore. Even at $10/disc, it would be worth it only to buy that 1 disc you'd qualify for once you fulfilled with your 2 requirements. Beyond that, you'd still be virtually throwing money away instead of cycling. (Unless that doubled when buying box sets, or on a fulfilled account. But I won't bother with calculations on that unless it happens.) [Side note: Whatever happened with triple FC codes, anyway? Fulfilled account (double), box set (double), 3xFC code, triple, FC$2x2x3=FC$12 for a box set.]

If you're not going to cycle accounts, then of course *something* is better than nothing.


Now I'm off to try to get some box set FS and B1G1. That's what I've been waiting for! Thanks, Sweet Baby James (and, as always, thejester)!

dadaluholla

Thanks for the heads up. Dark Knight and Wanted are both available as freebies now, so I just might take advantage of this.

homern3d

Agreed. I've had trouble cycling accounts before, so I usually am looking for anything beyond B1G60% on a fulfilled account.

lizard

Free shipping on box sets plus B1G1F is a big deal. You might want to post that in a separate thread to highlight it. You know how often we get the question "Why isn't free shipping working on my box sets?"

Cheato

^Yeah, this is huge. I just fulfilled 2 accounts with it.

For 1-fulfillment titles, subtract $15.15 from the cost to see the equivalent cost as a fulfillment.
For 2-fulfillment titles, subtract $25.51.
For 3-fulfillment titles, subtract $30.66.

Examples:

$2.94+9.95+20.97+20.97 = 9 DVDs plus 2 $20.97 box sets
=> box set cost of $20.97 is an equivalent of $5.82 each
[Example: Doctor Who: The Invasion of Time]

$2.94+9.95+23.97+23.97 = 9 DVDs plus 2 $23.97 box sets
=> box set cost of $23.97 is an equivalent of $8.82 each
[Example: Incredible Hulk Season 3]

$2.94+9.95+29.97+29.97 = 9 DVDs plus 2 $29.97 box sets
=> box set cost of $29.97 is an equivalent of $14.82 each
[Example: American Gothic]


Box sets between $29.97 and $39.95 aren't as good a deal, IMO. I target about $15 for sets.
[Example: Steven Spielberg's Taken is $37.77, works out to $22.62. Still too pricy for me.]


However, once we get above $39.95 where things count for 2 fulfillments...

$2.94+9.95+41.97 = 8 DVDs plus 1 $41.97 box set
=> box set cost of $41.97 is an equivalent of $16.46
[Example: Sports Night Complete Series]

$2.94+9.95+52.17 = 8 DVDs plus 1 $52.17 box set
=> box set cost of $52.17 is an equivalent of $26.66
[Example: Shogun]


And in case you want a 3-fulfillment title:
$2.94+59.97 = 7 DVDs plus 1 $59.97 box set
=> box set cost of $59.97 is an equivalent of $29.31
[Example: Alfred Hitchcock Signature Collection]

I thought about this last night but didn't. I'll go ahead and start one up...

Edit: It's already been done.

Sci-Fi Wasabi

I am not able to enter any codes. Every time I click details, it reloads the page. Any help?

dadaluholla

Just click the "Details" link on the part of the banner that says "DVDS AT 60% OFF" instead of the free shipping portion.

Cheato

Yeah, the two banners switched sides. You don't want to change the Free Shipping deal, you want to change the discount deal.

Sci-Fi Wasabi

Figured it out. Sorry

I ordered The Dark Knight: 2-Disc with the B1G2 offer earlier this month. It was the "B1" title and it obviously hasn't shipped yet. I've since acquired a Blu-Ray player and would like to switch it to the BD version and have them charge me the slightly higher price. Has anyone had success in the past with getting CH to do this? If so, would email or phone work better? Thanks!

starman9000

Wrong thread for a questions like this. But, my advice is to just keep your order as is and sell, gift, or trade the DVD when you get it. You are asking for a headache trying anything else.

Trevor

Agreed on both counts. Don't call.
