It says it applied code 801490 to my account but it didn't discount the two disc in my cart.

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
I had two blu ray disc in my cart but I have since found out that it has to be one blu ray and one DVD for the bogo to work. Sucks for me since I haven't bought a DVD in over three years. Oh well if it seems to good to be true it usually is.

Not me. Used it maybe 3 months ago, still shows "promotion is expired" on my regular 5/3 DVD account.
I wonder what explains the discrepency. That would be a nice deal with free shipping.

Free shipping(excluding box sets) through January 23-
20110120FSPT1D
If you use the 801490 code, you won't receive free shipping. However, if you place the order with shipping, you can then contact CH and tell them that you didn't receive free shipping. They will cancel the order and create a new order with the 801490 code still valid and the shipping will be waived.

Nevertheless, free shipping plus the list of 58 discounted BDs is a decent deal if there is a title one wants. I picked one up as a gift for my sister.
Same for my account.

Give "Placing Orders" and "Sales & Specials" a whirl. Tell them that you noticed that you were charged for shipping even though it's a free shipping weekend(promotion code 20110120FSPT1D). Ask them if they would adjust your order to waive the shipping charge. Hopefully that will do the trick.

Thanks for the advice. I just gave it a shot.
Update: Now they did remove the shipping charge, but they didnt add the code so my total is $44

Edit: I guess The Town is a New and Upoming Release.

At least they didn't raise the price. :-) BTW, I ordered Devil, Amadeus and The Town all on dvd as the last fulfillment on an account so things are still looking good.

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
I wrote to them in hopes that they could help me, but they havent responded yet. I noticed that 2 DVDs already shipped from the order. Will this be a problem?

CH will usually fix the problem. If they don't, then you can always refuse the package and have it sent back to Hanover, PA.
I made three 801490 orders this past weekend and my good buddy, Robinson, took care of the shipping on all 3 and the 2 freebies were still good to go. I always choose the Placing Orders and then Sales & Specials from the drop down box. I tell them that I noticed that I was charged $6.97 in shipping after placing the order even though my account has a free shipping promotion. I politely request that they adjust the order to waive the shipping charge. I never mention that I used the 801490 code to obtain the 2 freebies. Are you guys telling them that you used the 801490 code? That could be the problem because the CSR's know that you cannot stack two different promotions.

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
Someone here jog my memory..Just when was this last free shipping promotion?
I am having trouble remembering if my last order was placed before or during said promotion...since I was charged shipping(I used 801490).
