Well, this is the first time I've visted this thread. I saw someone post the sale over at AVS and immediately started ordering. I could not get free shipping unless I clicked through the "secret sale" email they sent me the other day, so I kept useing that link.
I also learned a big lesson from last time they had a sale on BRs. That time I placed one huge order and they TOTALLY F'd it up BIGTIME. They split up the order and changed the prices turning a $200 order into a $450 order.
This time I ordered only 2 titles at a time. My time was VERY limited. I was getting ready to go work security at the HOF balloonfest and I had about a half an hour till I had to leave. I was able to get 5 orders in before I left. Of course I didn't get home till 12:30, so the deal was then dead .
Here's what I was able to reel in, and they are all showing correctly in my order history too...

Dark City
Unforgiven
$21.71

Shoot Em Up
August Rush
$24.27

The Mummy
Mummy Returns
$22.46

10,000 BC
...Jesse James...
$24.27

The Will Be Blood
Natural Born Killers
$26.97

Well, suddenly this morning I have two duplicates of one of my orders. They weren't in order history yesterday or last night, but there they are today... already supposedly "processing", so I can't cancel online, and the call center number says they're only there on weekdays.

This should be fun

This funcash is no good to me unless it can be used for blu-rays. Does anybody know? I might be willing to trade it if not...Guess I can make a post in the For Sale threads...

i have been getting juno special edition dvd's as free dvd's (as part of bogo's) or with the fun cash i earned on this bogo (which i could get one free blu-ray). they seem to at least sell on ebay consistently in the $10-$15 range. it's better than nothing.

I've checked mine like half a dozen times and sometimes it says the right title name, and sometimes says no longer available. I think it is just the new website glitching.

This morning that happened to me with Mr. Brooks. Now it's back. Probably just the usual CH glitchery.

It seems they frequently run these one day sales on Fridays, so keep on the lookout.

I wonder if they intended for the B1G1 to count for Blu-Ray or if it was a glitch? I massively pillaged CH yesterday with 6 orders. I feel like a Viking. I can't wait for the spoils of war to arrive in those little brown boxes. I need a cigarette.

just to give everyone an update. My dup order was automatically credited back to my account. Both my orders are up. 3 avail. and 3 pre orders. So far Lost boys, Cuckoos nest and The Bank Job are shipping today per cust. service and Transformers, Sweeney Todd and Speed racer will ship up avail. The one thing i did notice is they took all my fun cash away. Oh well

I just got another 1 day only B1G1 email for today, I haven't tried it with a code yet to see if it combines, but I'll let you know.

OK, it didn't work with Blu or with a free shipping code, so no big deal.

i have a large negative fun cash balance now (almost double what i earned with the bogo) -- actually i believe i have a larger negative fun cash balance than what i have ever earned (and redeemed). i think it is about 25% more {i.e. if i had earned about $40 in fun cash since opening my account (and i've redeemed roughly $40 of the fun cash i've earned), my negative fun cash balance is now about $50}.

my large negative funcash balance is now only about half as big a negative balance. columbia house shipped my batman begins limited edition gift set about a week after it was released, so i will not be surprised if it takes a week for things to ship. when i pre-ordered the BBLE gift set about a month before it was released, it showed as scheduled to ship for at least the first week after it was ordered (if not the entire month that it was pre-ordered).

you also have to realize that it take columbia house 3-4 days for their website to update. i typically receive dvd's before it shows them as shipped on the columbia house website. all my pre-orders are showing as shipping (everything else is processing). i believe harold and kumar is a pre-order (was released today), so i am not surprised that you have it showing as scheduled to ship.

Me too. By CH standards I'm surprised I didn't receive them yesterday.

I placed 4 different orders. I looked at my online CC account and saw that they charged me for 3 of the orders already a couple days ago. Then I got shipping confirmation of 1 of the orders this morning.
