So that is a bogo deal to me.

yes that's correct. apparently some people were interpreting it as you could get one of the 19.95 sets as a freebie with the purchase of another 19.95 set.

If you needed to fulfill. Buy 2 sets, get 2 dvds free and pay the shipping on the freebies. Not the best deal, but not the worst either.
This is exactly how I interpretted it. I knew that box sets are never freebies. Anyway, I looked through all of the 19.95 titles, but wasn't impressed with the selection. I have an account to fulfill, but I'll wait for a better deal (probably a B1G1F on BD's, which I just missed on this account)

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part V

Maybe you guys can help me. I'm using the $19.95 box set deal to activate the B1G1 from 801490. So far so good. The problem is that I can't get any of the special editions that also appear in the separate sitewide B1G1 SE deal ("Spectacular Special Edition 2 For 1") to come up as free with the box set as the qualifier. I've tried every imaginable combination in terms of in what order I add things to my cart, and every other standard trick in the book. Is anyone out there able to make this work in a test scenario? The SEs are titles that would normally qualify as the free ones on a B1G1 (the 2-disc Quantum of Solace, for example), but the separate sitewide deal seems to be killing it off (since entering a code doesn't get rid of the SSE2F1).

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Only when they are "known" will they be posted - no sooner -

Anyways, here are todays' recently activated codes -

801346 - b1 + 75% off (WOD)
801490 - b1g1 unlimited
801746 - b1g2 (WOD)
802334 - b1g1 unlimited + ??
802346 - b1g1 (unlimited?) (WOD)
802385 - b1g1 unlimited + ??
802445 - B1 + 50% + Free S&H on DVD Order (WOD)
802447 - B1 + 50% + Triple FC (WOD)
802448 - B1 + 50% + Extra 20% off (WOD)
805645 - B1 + 60% + Free S&H on DVD Order (WOD)
805647 - B1 + 60% + Triple FC (WOD)
805648 - B1 + 60% + Extra 20% off (WOD)
805686 - b1 + 60% off + Free S&H on DVD Order
805687 - b1 + 60% off -or- 50% off DVD Sets

For the uninitiated - WOD = Wheel of Deals


Just tried 1746 & it doesn't appear to work exactly as "advertised". It is doing the opposite - b2g1. Maybe in next day or so? It expires 4/19.

I think B1G2 is a good enough deal to offset shipping on each DVD.

If the code is still active Saturday morning when my paycheck clears, I plan on getting Revolutionary Road, Slumdog Millionaire and Milk.

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part V

Actually bog2, even paying shipping is better than the usual bogo w/free shipping. Of course, the bog2 w/free shipping is outstanding, not worth the risk/wait for myself to fulfill.

It is BEST to use 2 pre-releases as your 2 fulfillfments!

bog2: Using 22.95 titles
22.95 +
2.99 shipping for 1st
1.99 shipping for 2nd
1.99 shipping for 3rd
Total=29.92 /3= 9.97 each
26.92 for $19.95 title=8.97eac

To fulfill:
22.95x2=45.9
2.99 1st
1.99x5 for rest=9.95
total=58.84/6=9.80ea

@ $19.95=8.80ea

bogo w/free ship:
22.95/2=11.47 each
19.95/2=9.97 each

Fulfill:
45.90/4=$11.47each
or
@$19.95=9.97 each

This keeps happening to me.

EDIT- I finally got a combo to work. It doesn't want to let me use The Mist for some reason.

Edit Number 2- You can not use any of the Special Editions from the current 2 for 1 sale for this code.

No go for blu ray only. I tried a few times until I read the details:
Blu-Ray Titles can act as a qualifier, but can not go as your FREE selection.

I will just be waiting until the next B1G1 blu ray special comes along. I have a list of blu titles I would like to have....

Thanks for the codes!!

I'm sure Cheato will break this down, but it's not really Better than BOGO w/Free Shipping, since you should factor in enrollment titles to determine average price. Both of these mean you end up buying a 3 disc for about $7 more, which is higher than the general average of cycling an account.

But that's not much difference, and if there are titles you want now its a great deal. Personally I found the deal good enough to not care about the per/disc average and use it anyway, especially since I used two of the 19.95 sets on sale with free shipping.

No, it is $4.98. Just the set shipping is free.

Got it. Thanks! Made one order so far, since some of those sets are hard to find cheaply elsewhere.

Yep, just the sets were free shipping, sorry about that, but still cheaper than other combos.

2.99 shipping for 1st
1.99 shipping for 2nd
1.99 shipping for 3rd
Total=29.92 /3= 9.97 each
26.92 for $19.95 title=8.97eac

To fulfill:
22.95x2=45.9
2.99 1st
1.99x5 for rest=9.95
total=58.84/6=9.80ea

@ $19.95=8.80ea

bogo w/free ship:
22.95/2=11.47 each
19.95/2=9.97 each

Fulfill:
45.90/4=$11.47each
or
@$19.95=9.97 each
Actually, not. A selection on a properly maximized account is worth $4.80.

**From a previous post by Cheato**

Regular DVD club membership:

Enrollment:
6 x 49¢ + $9.95 = $12.89 (7 DVDs)

Fulfillment using BOGOF with free shipping:
$19.95 + (free DVD) + $19.95 + (free DVD) + (free shipping) = $39.90 (4 DVDs)

Total cost of membership:
$12.89 + $39.90 = $52.79 (11 DVDs)

Average cost of DVDs purchased:
$52.79/11 = ~$4.80

****

Your extra selection cost you $6.97 which is $2.17 more than it should for *each* of your fulfillments. While the overall effect does not raise the average too much it *still* raises the average... by ~.33/selection (including the extra 2 selections). The best way to use this code would be to get one of the $19.95 sets that has free shipping. That way the imputed cost of the extra selection is only $4.98, only $.18 more than a selection is worth on a maximized account.

On an already fulfilled account the B1G2 code used to purchase a $19.95 set w/free shipping is the same cost as an optimized TVonDVD account with a set for $15.33 and the selections at $4.80/each.

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part V

I meant for the current offer.

If free shipping was in play, bog2 would def. be the best deal. Subract the $12.94 for shipping. Total then is $45.90. Add in your enrollments of $12.89=$58.79/13=$4.52 That's for $22.95 titles. IF you chose 2 $19.95 titles it would be $4.06 each.

But, IF IF IF...

However, with the current deals at hand, bog2 wins.
