More info can be found by logging into your CH Music Club account and clicking the "Click here to learn more about upcoming changes to your Membership" graphic on the left-hand side.
7. If I haven't purchased all my Columbia House Music Club commitments that I agreed to when I joined, will I still be responsible for these commitments when my membership is converted to a BMG Music Service membership?
No. You will no longer be responsible for any outstanding Columbia House Music Club CD commitments after your membership is converted.

And to get you started, we'll also give each Columbia House member enough additional Music Points for a FREE CD (shipping and handling will be charged for each free CD). To read more about Bonus Point conversion, click here.

Here's a new BMG code: C5FS6
You get ulimited $5.99 CDs plus free shipping if you order 5 or more. Best of all (and despite what the small print on the e-mail said) box sets are included in the free shipping deal. Once the code is entered on the website, the offer detail states that box sets are included in the sale.

Greetings. I haven't bought CD's via CH or BMG for about five years, but am reentering the game. This thread is great! A question: are there any threads/forums that go into more detail on the "strategy" for maximizing the use of BMG? I'm looking for something like the DVD clubs sub-forum here at DVD talk. I just recently submitted my first BMG app, and have already discovered that (I think) I should stack my enrollment with 2 unit sets and use single unit selections for my four-free-after-fulfillment. Any other tips along those lines? Thanks for the help.

I just completed my first recent account with BMG:
7 enrollment: 7 * 2.79
1 fulfillment (Metallica): 14.95
4 free: 4 * 2.79
5 free for "tell a friend: 5 * 2.79
avg per CD = $3.51
You can't beat that. The tell a friend is flakey. I referred my wife through the website, she joined, and nothing happened on my account. I sent an email to BMG through their customer service page (awful process btw). They sent an email back indicating that in order to get tell a friend free cd's your "friend" has to use some special application. Of course, the tell a friend page on the website makes no mention of this. Fortunately, they said they would "make an exception"
and give me five free for telling a friend. That's better than the 3 I was expecting. All in all a good experience, but not unlike dealing with CH on DVD's. Their corporate marriage will probably be a good fit.

No one has any b1g3 free or b1g2 free codes? I know there used to be a method to their codes and there was always one active b1g3 free code floating around. My sister has a new account she needs to fulfill.
