Thanks. I'll keep trying then. I didn't figure they were actually checking, but I've tried four or five times now with no luck so I was starting to wonder.

I've never been a CH.com member either but I've managed to get two accounts open with this deal.

I actually was a CH.com member, and my one application from a few weeks ago didn't go through. Time to try another!

Hmm.. tried to close this account with email. They said... the account is not being maintained and thus cannot close it without returning the unopened dvd's!!
I emailed them back today and asked for them to explain further and if I had to have this account open from now to eternity if I've opened the dvd's already.
Anyone else?

Re: Take 2 DVDs at $2.99 each with FREE SHIPPING (No other purchase necessary)
I signed up for one of these accounts (2@$2.99) about a week or so ago.
I've heard here how some were charged twice, but being that it's only $6, I didn't rush to check my card to see if I was double charged too. Figured I'd get to it sooner or later.
This particular account, I did recieve a WELCOME email. So at that point, I just went ahead and sent them an email to close the account, even though I didn't receive the 2 dvds yet. The next day, they replied back saying the account had been closed... so far so good.
Yesterday, I finally received the 2 dvds. Still never checked my card though. I actually just totally forgot to.
Now today, I received the following email from CH...
Thank you for your recent order.
We're sorry, but due to a processing error your order was duplicated and
you will soon receive two identical shipments. We are in the process of
removing the duplicate charge from your club account. If your order was
charged to a credit/debit card, we will credit the card for the full
amount of the duplicate shipment.
Your membership is important to us and we want to minimize the
inconvenience to you as much as we can. For this reason, we would like
you to keep the duplicate shipment with our apologies.
If we may be of further service, please contact us at http://www.columbiahouse.com.
Sincerely,
Celeste Edwards
Customer Service
Hopfully, I'll be getting 2 free dvds in the mail soon.

Got a reply back.. they canceled the account and cleared it of all charges (well, what charges? There weren't any.)
Dunno if I just ticked em off or not. Guess I'll find out if any future accounts don't get approved.

Thanks for the application, 7-12-09.
Welcome aboard, 7-14-09.
But the welcome to the club email says "Keep an eye out for your first Director's Selection."
The reason I signed up for this was, as others have mentioned, it would be a good account to keep open while waiting for good sales because there is no Director's Selection hassle.
What's the deal?
BTW, I ordered Quantum of Solace and Hatari!. I have 2 charges on my card, but I'll give it a while for one of them to disappear before I get worried.
*EDIT to add* Not a CH.com member.

You usually can't enter a code on the main page, at least in my experience. You actually have to click on one of the titles to get to the title selection screen, and input the code on that screen.

CH sent me a duplicated order, but they also refunded my card twice. So now I have them for free. I want to be honest, but I can't waste my time calling them and asking them to charge me again...I mean, they screwed up twice.

Re: Take 2 DVDs at $2.99 each with FREE SHIPPING (No other purchase necessary)
Stranger things have happened. I've had tons of accounts with CH. One time I opened up a regular account. Got my enrollment dvds in the mail. A few days later went to log in to the account and could not.
Called them and they said the account was closed.
When I said I just opened it, they said I could just re-apply for a new account.
So I got like 8 dvds for enrollment cost and never had to fulfill the account.
