Me and a friend of mine both had our credit cards numbers stolen in the last few days.
I use this particular card exclusively with Gameznflix and he uses the card for them and his verizon bill.

Seems kind of odd.

Well I go up update my card information to a new card and well... even the new card entry form is not secure. Check your card activity if you use them to be sure.

I signed up a few weeks ago and it only took me a few days to earn $10. They already sent the credit to my Gamefly account.

That means my 2 out account costs me about $12 and I only had to spend 10 minutes a month watching commercials.
This is too great to last long. I give it 6 months. But I will definitely take advantage of it while I can.

The ads dried up for me after two and a half months.

That's a shame. But two months at a discount is better than no months at a discount. I still wish there was a viable competitor for Gamefly so they would lower their prices a bit. I'm pretty happy with their service, but I would be happier if it was a sub $20 monthly fee.

I'm "one out" at $15 a month which is ridiculous with their 7 day turnaround time. Brightspot helped a bunch, but now that has dried up I will probably dump them around January after I try out all these new releases this fall.

I liked Gameznflix for awhile then it started becoming frustrating. Never getting the title I wanted. You can't beat $9.00 for one out. Their website and inventory needs work, too IMO. I switched to Gamefly and its been great so far but $15 plus tax equals $17 and that's a bit much. Especially if I don't finish a game in a month's time.

Yeah, I really only want to do one out at a time, but the GF pricing is just ridiculous for that, when the games I'm renting can be bought used for $20-$30. The two out at a time makes more sense.

Go to Gamestop and buy a used game and just return it within seven days. No questons asked and you have a free rental.

As long as you a buy another game and keep that one, you'll be fine. They do keep track of excessive returns.

I usually try one I want to play for a bit then return it and buy something I will keep.
