Disney Movie Club - anyone a member?

[danas_mom]

Not sure which board to ask about this on. We got an invitation for the Disney Movie Club today and I'm wondering if anyone is a member and how much trouble it is.

We've done book clubs similar to this before, they can be a pain because you have to make sure to select for them to not send the featured selections each month or you get charged for them until you can mail them back, but we've been trying to build our Disney/Pixar DVD collection and getting the first several for a discounted price would help quite a bit.

Is it easy to go to the website and make your selections each month? When you've bought enough to meet the requirement, is it a hassle to cancel your account? If you forget to decline your featured selection and send it back, is getting your cc credited a hassle?

TIA for any advice!

I can't answer the other questions, but I can tell you that it is easy to go to the website to say no to movies and you also get plenty of time to cancel in my experience. I would also suggest to look online for the best deal possible because I found a great deal online that was way better than what I was offered in the mail.

Personally, I wouldn't join. But I hate the hassle of it all. I compare the DMC to BMG & all those other book/music clubs that you can join. If you're doing it for yourself, it may be worth it, but I always think it much more hassle than it's worth. (Of course, that's what many people say about coupons too...).

I did it for awhile and to be honest- If you forget to deny your movie for the month they will send it to you for around $27.
I had trouble when I canceled and they sent me more movies and charged them on my card.
I thought the deals weren't that great.

I'm a member and I love it. I joined to expand our collection too. I love it. We've gotten A LOT of movies. You do have to keep on top of it, but their customer service is really nice. They once sent me an extra movie but it was no hassle to send back - they sent me the return envelope and everything. I recommend them.

I joined about 2 months ago. You have to commit to FOUR movies in two years. I only have ONE movie left to buy! I did the introductory offer, bought one with that, bought two more. So far I've spent about 50 dollars and gotten 7 movies. I just bought 5 more for a total of 55.xx. I will continue my membership after I fulfill my commitment. I really like it.

I don't personally belong, but looked into it last summer. The prices seem extra high after the intro. My aunt said that she thinks she is spending more on the movies than if she had gotten them at Best Buy.

Sometimes you'll pay more for a movie , I just spent 28$ on a collectors edition Lilo & Stitch. It depends. When I scored my movies for 55.xx this last time many were movies like Homeward Bound and Homeward Bound 2 that my oldest son used to love but my small DS has never watched. Sometimes its about being able to find some older , much loved films. It depends on what your looking for. Can you get them cheaper somewhere else...sometimes...but I factored in the cost of the introductory and the ones I'd have to buy and would pay the same amount for all the movies total at walmart. IF you could find them there.

quick question for those who are in the club already, are the movie rewards points still included in the DVD's? And, do they have a lot of the Disney Chanel Original Movies on there? I have been debating on joining this for a while, and get on HCW and saw this! How perfect is that? LOL

[#1RobThomasfan]

Most of the movies DO have the points, not all that I've ordered have had them. Mainly the mainstream titles/newer titles have them. The older ones I've ordered do not have them. But thats cool, I'm happy just to find some of them! Hope I've helped you!
