Most of my orders have shipped, as well, and I didn't even begin ordering en masse until the second day of the code.
I also chose the "bill me" option on a large portion of my orders to justify spending more than I would prefer at once. Despite ordering much more than $40, which has been my "cut-off" point in the past, BMG shipped out every order except those which were OOS.

Has anyone actually received an email confirming a shipment? How about an email confirming an order?
I ask this because a couple of days before this code showed up I placed an order for two clearance titles and they showed as shipped the next day but I didn't get an email confirming shipment until three days after that. I haven't received an email confirming any of the "free" orders either.

Greatest code ever!!! Thanks OP!!! After spending a ton on the recent Amazon Blu-Ray and HD sales this wasn't something I was looking for but it is just too good of a deal to pass up. It yields a better average cost per CD than enrolling, cancelling, enrolling, cancelling, etc...without the extra effort to enroll, cancel, enroll, cancel, etc... I won't need to buy another "catalog" CD for two years with the load I just bought.

I have received e-mail confirmations as well that some of my orders have shipped. Some are "Temp. Out of Stock" but many have already shipped.
And may I say sumdeus that is a damn lot of CD's you got here . I thought 18 orders was overdoing it. But 32 orders!!! Let it never be said that you don't know how to take advantage of a good deal.

Yeah I figured it was something like that. My first order was placed on 1/11, it showed as shipped on 1/12 on the site. I never received an order confirmation email but on the 16th I got an email saying the order was shipped on 1/15. The reason I asked the original question is that I usually get an email confirming my orders, and also the discrepancy in ship dates on this other order.

I have a feeling that BMG won't even catch this glitch and it will run until it expires. They already get so many orders that are "free" with shipping as the only charge, that these may not raise a red flag. However they might get a clue if they decide to investigate the sudden increase in orders or if they read this forum...

Seems like an amazing deal. However, when I enter any of the codes I get Buy 1 get unlimited at $1.99 and three free. Still a decent deal, but I'm not sure I'll bite...

Yes...and the first 3 discs you put in your cart are free (plus shipping obv). You don't have to order anything else.

I was figuring out a way to look at just 2 or 3 disc sets and found that by searching for "dvd" in the category of album title a bunch, like 200, sets came up. If you already knew this then ignore--I'm new.

Found a couple more 3 disc sets that come up free.
Fleetwood Mac - Live in Boston (1 CD/2 DVD)
My Chemical Romance - Life on the Murder Scene (1 CD/2 DVD)
Also, can anyone recommend any of the Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra collections they have? It doesn't need to be comprehensive, just a solid collection that will hit the songs I know.

I have the Sinatra Reprise disc they have and it serves me well...and while I can't personally recommend it, Dino: The Essential Dean Martin is 30 tracks on one disc which will likely suit your need.

Someone like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin Hits CDs are the only way to go in my opinion.
So many good Frank Sinatra but I'd grab a capitol set and reprise set.
Sinatra 80: All The Best (2 CDs - 40 Capitol songs)
The Very Best of Frank Sinatra (2 CDs - 40 Reprise songs)
Classic Sinatra (1 CD - 20 Capitol songs)
Sinatra Reprise: The Very Good Years (1 CD - 20 Reprise songs)
The Best Of The Capitol Years (1 CD - 20 Capitol songs)
Romance: Songs From The Heart (1 CD - 21 Capitol songs)
The Frank Sinatra Christmas Collection (1 CD - 18 songs)
Duets And Duets II - 90th Birthday Limited CE (2 CDs - 28 songs)
Dean Martin The Essential Dean Martin (Deluxe Edition) because the bonus live CD has some funny stuff and Christmas With Dino.

I haven't had a problem logging in and all my orders show as shipped, but I only made three orders. I still have not received an order confirmation or a shipoping confirmation email.
I did notice that if you type in the codes the deal comes up as:
"Choose your 3 Free CDs! No purchase necessary!" under the normal deal.
