Does anyone belong to a movie Club? (Like Columbia House etc...) - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I am looking into joining one and was wondering if anyone could give me some insight

I belong to Net Flix and love them.... You can order the movies you want (they have a huge selection) and no late fees. Receive shipment within a day or two....Their website is: Netflix: Rent as many movies as you want for only $8.99 a month! Free Trial They have a few different plans available......................

use Netflix!! My husband loves watching the movies on his laptop!! I like that there is no late fees. I was SO BAD about getting movies back in time, I live 30 min from the nearest blockbuster!!

I'm another user of Netflix. I love it. It's so much cheaper than going to the movies and wayyyyyyyyyyyyy less expensive... AND you can always hit pause to use the bathroom LoL

thanks everyone...I use to use Netflix too but I am looking to Owning the DVD's and not renting them.

Anyone belong to a club like that?

I belong to Columbia house. BUT: I have found that I buy a lot more used from a store like Hastings than them. I just bought 12 movies that were on my list for about 68 bucks. They just had a sale buy one used and get the second for $1. So they really avg. about 5 bucks a DVD.

Columbia house does also have some good sales. I think I got started with them for 12 movies for a total of about 22 bucks. They make up for it. I only have 1 more to buy~

It is cheaper to buy them from Wal-mart than through Columbia House.

I belong to Blockbuster online and it's Awesome. I pay a set fee each month and what I love about them over Netflix is if your done w/ the movie you can take it back to Blockbuster and get another DVD so you dont have to wait for it in the mail. That way if it's a weekend or a long break you can watch several movies...they also send me another free rental every month where I can go to the store and rent w/ out having to return another movie!

Really? But don't joining the club come with discounts?

greyacresmom · 12-28-2009, 05:40 PM

Figure it out. When I first joined even with a $25 price tag it was a hell of a deal. So if you are like me and get 6/7 for .49 each no shipping it is worth it.

Crickettsmom · 12-28-2009, 06:30 PM

Getting the first ones cheap is a bonus, but then you have to pay $25 for a movie plus shipping (or atleast this is what is was when I was a member). Then you have to figure that you have to buy atleast 6 at regular price plus shipping, that is going to be about $180. You can find some great movies on sale at Wal-mart, even new releases and end up spending less money and you can get them when you want with no shipping. I was a member, but I realized that I could spend less not being a member. Just my opinion!!! As I said, I was a member, so I have done it.

I would stay away from the Columbia House type clubs. From my experience, they end up costing more money and they come with purchase requirements as others have said. If you are looking to buy DVD's, they are pretty cheap all over now. If you are looking to buy blu-rays, then you can check the forums here for deals Hot Deals Forum - Blu-ray Forum.

When I joined it was 10 for $22.00 with two more to buy. So even if I paid $30.00 for the remaining 2, that would be a total of $82 for 12 which comes out to less than $7.00 each. Look for a decent start up and figure out if it is worth it. I waited for a long time to join: waited for a great deal.
