If I can fulfill with 2 dvds at 7.95, then the per DVD price is pretty sweet. Is this new or old?? What do you guys know about this?

IMHO ch.com is only worth joining if you get 3 higher priced selections for "enrollments", purchase the 2 @ $7.95, and quit. Cycle if you want/need.

C89 on 4-4 via the website. Already have 1 account, so this would be number 2. Still nothing. They sure shut down the one that I used that didn't work, right away. Didn't put in a credit card, and don't remember seeing a bill later tab. I may have added my psn though.
What does that mean?

^If I understand your question, it means nothing. It is common for web applications to be "lost" (disappear without a trace) or rejected (one eventually gets a polite rejection letter). Most people just try again. It helps to do so with different enrollment titles, in case the old application eventually gets accepted also.
If you get tired of lost web applications you can try a phone application. Those have a much higher success rate, but only a few good 7:2 codes work on the phone, so be sure to read upthread to find which ones they are.

Well tried C89 a few days ago and it looks like it's the first account I've had that hasn't gone thru in about 2 years, oh well.
Maybe it is time for an enrollment codes part 3 thread with an updated first post?

Hey I think check cards dont work with columbia house. Every time i apply online instead of a "lost application" they actually send me a letter saying that they cant issue an acount at this time and that they are sorry to serve me. Has this happened to anyone else? (P.S Not the usual letter its actually just a piece of paper that comes through the mail).

Hey
I used the B9V code a few weeks ago and got approved. Got 3:10 to Yuma for $1.99, then bought V for Vendetta for $21.72 ant got TWBB 2-Disc for free, both shipped for free. Now, I get to choose 5 more free, with no more commitment. I am trying to figure out a way to not pay shipping. They sent me vouchers, so it looks like they make you do it through the mail. Any suggestions?
Bye the way, I think this code is much better than the average 7:2 code. I will come out less than $5 per DVD.

As I said earlier in this thread, I have enough threads to maintain and I'm not going to do this one.

Others have used debit ("check") cards on accounts, so I doubt that it is the source of the rejection. However, using debit cards is not advised because if Columbia House makes a mistake it can play havoc with your checking account. It is better to use a credit card. If there is a mistake that you just can't resolve with CH, you always have the option of disputing the charge with the credit card company. (That would be a last resort, because CH might not allow you to have any future accounts.)

It is also possible that Columbia House will eventually develop a BD club, similar to the TV Edition of the DVD club, with its own enrollment terms and fulfillment requirements. Allowing BDs as 49¢ enrollments in the regular club seems unlikely to me. I'd love to be wrong about that, however.

You are welcome to start and maintain a "Part III" thread. It will involve some work to test known codes and extract the few working phone enrollment codes from the pages of this thread. After that it is just monitoring reports from people with new codes or who get letters saying that a particular code is no longer valid.

We're also curious as to whether or not there is a shipping fee on those 5 free movies.

They charged me $9.95 for shipping + tax.

Only if they do not charge shipping. That may happen because the CSR who processes the order may not realize that he/she is supposed to charge shipping (most enrollment selections they handle have no shipping). There was some discussion of this by Cutegirll025 upthread.

1.99 (1st free)
24.70 (Purchased at full price - I got HD-DVD and used BOGO code - TWBB 2-disc)
1.99 x 5
-----------
$36.64 max (even if you have to pay shipping, don't they discount it on multiple items?)
Comes to $4.58/disc.
Cheapest I've seen on 7:2 codes is $6.42/disc.

I always use 7:2 and I generally average 4.95-5.65 an account
My last account was 4.75 average and I didn't even get in on the mega deal that happened

Basic calculations without sale offers:
6:1 code
Enrollment: Free + $1.99 shipping = $1.99 (1 DVD)
Fulfillment: $19.95 + $2.99 shipping = $22.94 (1 DVD)
Delayed enrollments: $1.99 x 5 = $9.95 (5 DVDs)
Total: $1.99 + $22.94 + $9.95 = $34.88 (7 DVDs)
Average cost of DVDs: $34.88/7 = $4.98
7:2 code
Enrollment: 49¢ x 6 + $9.95 = $12.89 (7 DVDs)
Fulfillment: $19.95 x 2 + $4.98 shipping = $44.88 (2 DVDs)
Total: $12.89 + $44.88 = $57.77 (9 DVDs)
Average cost of DVDs: $57.77/9 = $6.42
However, that is not how we do our calculations because it is standard to fulfill with B1G1F plus free shipping. Making that assumption, the numbers look like this:
6:1 code
Enrollment: Free + $1.99 shipping = $1.99 (1 DVD)
Fulfillment: $19.95 + (free DVD) + (free shipping) = $19.95 (2 DVDs)
Delayed enrollments: $1.99 x 5 = $9.95 (5 DVDs)
Total: $1.99 + $19.95 + $9.95 = $31.89 (8 DVDs)
Average cost of DVDs: $31.89/8 = $3.99
7:2 code
Enrollment: 49¢ x 6 + $9.95 = $12.89 (7 DVDs)
Fulfillment: $19.95 + (free DVD) + $19.95 + (free DVD) + (free shipping) = $39.90 (4 DVDs)
Total: $12.89 + $39.90 = $52.79 (11 DVDs)
Average cost of DVDs: $52.79/11 = $4.80
The B9V code has the lowest average cost we have seen. And if one gets free shipping by mistake on the delayed enrollments, the deal becomes even more exceptional. More hassle than a 7:2 code, but much, much cheaper.

It's been a long time...
Hello gentlemen,
First of all, just want to say that it's been close to 8 years since I've been active on DVDTalk.
So please, don't be too harsh on me
It's been the same amount of time since I last joined the CH DVD Club.
When I go to their website I see no other offer other than the standard one where you get 5 for $0.49 + Shipping & Processing with 5 to buy at full price.
How am I supposed to use the codes mentioned in this thread, at checkout perhaps? I see no way on their site to change from the default offer.
