Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
I am looking to finish my obligation but I would like to get a good price. Most of the prices are pretty high and cheaper on amazon. So I am looking for a code that could save me some money ? I am interested in Blu-Ray and im not against buying a set. If I purchase a bluray on sale for $20 but the regular price is over $35 does that only count as one ?

And you're not looking at it right. To get the correct price of a fulfillment you must also factor in those selections you got "free" for joining. The down and dirty way is to simply divide your final cost by the number of selections, but that's not entirely accurate. A well optimized 7:2 account should have an average cost of ~$4.80 for a DVD so you would would multiply that $4.80 for every DVD purchased and subtract that from the total cost of your membership to get the imputed cost of that fulfilling set. *Anything* you've purchased that doesn't count towards a fulfillment is overkill and quite possibly caused you to overpay in the final assessment.

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
That's true. To start with I got I think 5 blurays for $0.49 each. So that was a good deal.
But now that I have to pay full price it's not so great. I find it hard to pay $25-$30+ shipping
when I can go to amazon and pay $20-$25 with prime shipping. Plus they charge insane shipping costs and then ship media mail. I dont wana pay high shipping costs and then watch them ship media mail and wait over a week for the package. If they are gonna ship media mail they should not be charging prices high eneough to be Priority mail. I should have thought about all of this beforehand but I was blinded by the $0.49 bluray's :-)

I don't think that you can go to Amazon and get 5 Blu-rays for $2.45.
BTW, CH offers free shipping quite often.

For a selection to count as 2 fulfillments it must have a "regular" price of $39.95 or higher.
And you're not looking at it right. To get the correct price of a fulfillment you must also factor in those selections you got "free" for joining.

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
Something I found interesting. CH lists an animated movie, "Brave" on their website.
Whats going on here? It's one thing to list the Avengers, which is a Disney property, but it's another thing entirely to list a movie that was born, bred and distributed by the great mouse.
What gives here?

Interesting - this works on that gigantic Harry Potter Wizarding collection...bringing it down to the still heartbreaking price of $225 (from $500 retail....and $345 at Amazon right now).

Strange. It's not working for me. I tried entering the code manually and also tried using the link in the e-mail. The 55% offer shows up at the top of the screen, but the prices aren't reflecting the discount.

Ok, the first time I tried, I was on a PC using the IE browser. I tried again from my iPad, and the code is working.

edit: Not a bad deal on either of the two sets I posted. Makes them both comparable to the UK prices.

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
I thought I read that the Hitchcock set is delayed... I'm all over the Bond price, however! Ordering now to lock in the price. I'll attempt to open a new account, then fulfill with Bond, but I don't want to wait in case they kill the code too quickly...
EDIT: Never tried this before. But after I enrolled for a new account, it let me shop right away. So I ordered Bond on the new account immediately, even though I haven't really been approved yet. Curious what would happen if they decide to deny my account for some reason... This is the first time I signed up for a 7/2 but only purchased 6. I figured it will count as 3 fulfillments, so I didn't need to buy one for 9.99...

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
Tried to use the code on the Bond set (BD), but instead of a 55% discount, the price jumped from $179 to $299.99 (list price).
I've got the set ordered from AmazonUK at a similar price but would rather have the US version (in addition to the bonus points). If they had a better offer than DVDs for $11.99, that would also be nice.
I'm using Firefox...someone else said the code didn't work for them using IE, so haven't tried that yet.

I just realized that it was only giving 50% off of the club price, not 55%. But it was still a damn good price...

Oh well, at least I did get in an order for the Bond 50 set the other day.
