I love this! I just got it but I'm figuring I will be able to get 25-30 movies a month if not more. I had the wrong movie shipped and they immediately sent me a new one. They have a lot of British sitcoms available too.

this is like my favorite site of all time!! (except for HCW of course, lol!)

we get 2 movies at a time, unlimited per month... those movies can be swapped out for free movies in-store. we go thru 8 per week with it (2 movies mailed, swapped in-store for 2 movies, then 2 more movies mailed swapped for 2 more in-store movies... i have it timed just right, LOL) ~ plus the monthly free movie/game rental coupon you get with membership... PLUS we pay out of pocket for "the pick" every week in-store, which you get a 2.50 early return credit if returned the next day and just keep rolling it on more "picks" ~ which works out to about 1.80 every week.

love it!!

Wow--I can't watch that many movies. Probably because I spend too much time at HCW.

Well I looked over our entertainment buget for 2006 and realized that I spent about $65 on late fees for movie rentals. And about $30 a month for movies (either rentals, buying, or going out) so I decided to go ahead and sign up for the blockbuster thing here at HCW. I figure it will save me some money in late fees because we never seem to get them back to the store in time. Only downside is we don't have a blockbuster store here so I have to forefit the free coupons cause they give them to you when you return the movies to the store if I am getting that right. Oh well...still saving me some dough right? Its 1 month free then $17 something a month plus taxes. So thats cheaper than renting 5 movies a month here which can be $4 each.

Yuck! Yuck! Yuck to Blockbuster on Line. I signed up through one of my money making sites (where you go through their link to the webpage of the site you want to join). Anyway, I joined Blockbuster.com with a free 14 day trial (on Blockbuster.com's website) on the the 14th of the month, never rented any movies because I knew I was going to cancel after getting my $10 sign up money from sendearnings.com and canceled my membership on the 19th of the month. Blockbuster.com charged me for the first month on my credit card so I waited 2-3 weeks to see if they were going to credit my card for the charge since I signed up on Blockbuster's website for a free 14 day trial membership and only had a 5 day membership. No credit ever showed up on my creidt card. I tried calling their 1-866 number for 4 days (many, many times on each day) and the line was ALWAYS busy. I did some internet investigating and that's how Blockbuster.com works, you can never get through to them on the phone and they never email you back. I called my credit card company and they reimbursed me the fees. I will never recommend Blockbuster.com to anyone and if I could ever get through to them, I would give them a piece of my mind!!

I signed up for this before we became an affiliate with them. My family really likes this, and I was always getting late fees before too, so it's nice not to have late fees, and it's really nice being able to take them back to trade them in for movies in-store while the new ones from the online are coming my way!

Babywhysit - sorry you had a bad experience with them. I've had nothing but good and we've been a member now for like 6 months!

I went through the same thing too, I signed up for a month free trial at the store, then on the 12th day I got billed. I called to let them know that they had billed me too early, and the phone was always busy. I must've called 100 times before I got through, I just kept hitting the re-dial button. I would not sign up with them ever again.
