No Free Kung Fu Panda Blu-ray (WOW...Free Again)
 
Just received a cancellation notice saying that my order for Kung Fu Panda was being cancelled because they were out of stock. This was the "Free with Funcash" glitch from 10 days ago. Still showing up as "Processed" and "Pre-order" on my order history. Oh, well. It was worth a try!!!

EDIT: Placed an order for my "replacement" free Blu-ray Kung Fu Panda. See Post #10 on, below. Columbia House makes amends for their "mistake".

Same here. Not surprised.

Sweet Baby James 09-28-08 10:03 AM

Me as well.:(

Add 1 more to the tally. Got the paper notice on Friday :( I wish I had known before the B1G1 ended.

dsa_shea 09-28-08 10:57 AM

I guess I'm glad I went ahead and placed a second order with the KFP as the buy and another as the free one. At least I'll get a copy for a discounted rate.

Kicker_of_Elves 09-28-08 01:07 PM

Got one as well

mgoblue7 09-29-08 11:23 PM

Another one here.

jpdude 09-30-08 03:09 AM

me too!
 
add me as well. I received the cancellation notice in todays' mail for 3 different accounts. Imagine the money it cost CH to mail out all these notices.....too bad, so sad for them!

The code they gave me isn't valid. :confused: Tried getting it to work bluray and the regular widescreen version and it wouldn't take.

I got the exact same email with the exact same results as you did. What is interesting is that my original order was never canceled from my account. Maybe they are just letting it go through...

Same here. The code they emailed me isn't working either.

smashthesymbols 10-02-08 03:11 PM

I got the same email for all three of my accounts. Just like everyone else, the code doesn't work. Either way, this is an odd development. Although the $19.95 price the email quotes would seem to suggest they're offering us the DVD, not the Blu-Ray. Still if they actually want to give me it for free I'll take it.

Overpar 10-02-08 03:22 PM

I got the e-mail also, and the rep said that it will be active tomorrow. I hope so!

Arthur Dent 10-02-08 03:30 PM

I received the email as well. The code is active. I entered it in the usual code box, NOT the box at checkout. I then added the regular DVD of Kung Fu Panda, and it came up free.

ETA: Blu-ray is coming up free in my cart when I add it! Nice!

Drama King 10-02-08 03:38 PM

I got the same email and the order is also still on my account...we shall see.....the code isn't working for me yet.

Update:

The code worked and on the Blu-Ray version!!!

Kicker_of_Elves 10-02-08 04:04 PM

Code is working for me now. Nice move by CH! :up:

mbolandvd 10-02-08 04:10 PM

I'm new here... What was the actual code in the email? Was it actually the ####### showing in the email?

smashthesymbols 10-02-08 04:11 PM

Working for me as well. The code seems to work on all versions, including the DVD two-pack that includes what is apparently a direct to video sequel.

Sweet Baby James 10-02-08 04:36 PM

A most surprising and pleasant turn of events by CH.:)

Brent L 10-02-08 04:50 PM

When this glitch first started, I placed an order or it two times, once under both of my active accounts. Today I got the same email as mentioned above, and for what it's worth the code is the exact same for both accounts, and I assume the code is the exact same for everyone. I wonder if the code would work on an account that didn't order it when the glitch was working.

Anyway, it's working for me, awesome. :)

It doesn't make a lick of sense to me why CH would be doing this, but I'm not going to complain one bit. :lol:

Pookymeister 10-02-08 05:04 PM

Hmmm, code still doesn't work for me.

DarthScooby 10-02-08 05:09 PM

The code worked for me on the BLU-RAY version on 2 accounts. (got 2 emails)

2 Blu-Ray Kung Fu Pandas 100% FREE and FREE SHIPPING!!!

This is awesome on Columbia Houses part. To offer free shipping on top of it all is stellar.

Thank you Columbia House!!!

Think the title of this thread should be updated.

shadow32 10-02-08 05:36 PM

Finally worked for me!

toldawg128 10-02-08 06:42 PM

Finally got it to work. Hopefully it won't get canceled this time. Kudos to CH.
