Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
I never even knew where to look for a balance. Clicked on "Make a Payment" from the Account page, and sure enough all 3 of my accounts have one. I don't know how concerned I should be at this point. On the 2 accounts in which I made large orders with the memberschoice discount, I have balances of $12.88 & $17.80. But those amounts could be the items that haven't shipped yet and haven't been charged to my cc yet. I tried to do the math based on all charges I've incurred and I come to within a few bucks of those numbers. My other account has a $2.99 balance.

And another update: I sent them an e-mail about receiving the wrong BD last week (ordered Chloe, received Kill Switch). No response, so I sent another message on Sunday evening. Received a note today with an apology and that they were sending a postage paid label to return the incorrect item.
Then I received a separate shipping notice for the correct item. With a $2.99 s/h charge.

I received an email regarding my Riddick order that was canceled. The mystery $5.31 charge that was showing as pending on my credit card was an attempt by them for the reorder of Riddick. How it came to that amount, I have no idea. My credit card rejected this charge and they are now saying I need to contact them on why it was rejected.
I send another email back reminding them once again that payment had already been received on that order and threatened to file a complaint with my credit card if they did not straighten it out.

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
Forgive me for the frequent posts, but the zany updates are nearly a daily thing with CH.
When I first discovered this "amount due" listed on my accounts, the 2 accounts in which I made huge orders recently had $12.88 and $17.80 showing.
I updated a few days ago to indicate the amounts were $5.78 on the first one and at that time the $17.80 remained unchanged.
Today, I receive another shipping notice for 2 items I made using the first account. I now have a balance due of $25.06 on the first account and $5.62 on the 2nd.
I think I've given up trying to figure out CH math.

Some people have sent a private message on their facebook page to work things out with them when customer service fails. You could try that.

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
EDIT: Holy cow, my card was authorized yesterday for $497.66! That will bring me back to the original balance due of $78.33. Of course, I can't pay that until they adjust the balance online. Their system is stupid. You can't pay a portion of an amount due...

No, I didn't keep one. I kinda wish I had, but it was big, and weirdly shaped. I just didn't have a place to put it. Plus I already owned seasons 1-4. I know I shipped with Fed Ex, through Ebay, but I don't remember how much. Ebay is blocked at work, so I can't look it up. FYI, in case you weren't aware, anything sold for $250+ (including shipping) requires a signature. Otherwise, you would lose any dispute.

Free shipping today. They just added Touch of Evil and Double Indemnity to the pre-order list for $17.97 each. I'm getting real close to using my last memberschoice50 coupon.

Some decent deals with the $14 sale, too. Thus, $7 each...

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
I placed my final 50% off order. Maxed out 20 items again. After adding the 15th item, Expedited Shipping was free. I guess that's how I got expedited the last time, too... Of course, I firmly believe they'll find a way to screw up this order like they have my other orders. I actually re-ordered Riddick, one of my canceled $20.14 items. I gave up on trying to get them to reinstate my order... I'm only paying $6.50 more, so screw it...

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
Oddly the only order that has not shipped is the account tied to a Credit Card. The "Bill Me" accounts have all shipped....

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
They have a B1G1F sale today, but it's worthless. Free shipping is gone, and BD's or Box Sets do NOT count as qualifiers. So you have to buy a single DVD in order to get a single DVD free. Easy pass. Glad I ordered yesterday with free shipping...

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
Are there still people buying movies on DVD?! I wish this format would just go away and force everything (especially TV shows) to be released in HD, the way they originally aired!

I just noticed that they have a buy 2, get 1 free on Blu-rays. This does stack with the 50% off memberschoice50 coupon. Glad I waited to use my last coupon(sorry, kenbenobi).

GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fudge. Oh well, you can't win em all... I missed Smaug AND B2G1F. I would have gladly sacrificed free shipping for those...

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
I don't think anyone knows. There was a similar code available a few weeks ago - memberschoice. That code stopped working suddenly and then this new one popped up. If you had used the first code on an account, then the newer one didn't work.
