Blockbuster $1 for a month of 3 dvd rental

[Devistater]

I just got an email from blockbuster. Earlier this year I had done a free trial membership for a month of 3 dvds, I didn't like it all that much because the shipping times were too long (I only was able to get in 12 movies in an entire month, thats an average of 7 or 8 days per set of movies), and they have a lot of movies on "long wait," and they split up multi disk sets into 1 dvd each request (dunno if this is common among online rental companies), so I canceled.
Anyway, they are offering a month for previous subscribers who have canceled accounts, a $1 for a month of 3 dvds. Also includes 2 in store rentals per month. Offer expires when 2006 hits

If you've already used all the free trial codes, this might be to your liking Make sure to cancel before they start charging you again if you dont want to pay a monthly fee, once you sign up the MY ACCOUNT area will have details on the day they will start charging.

Here's the link, it sends you to blockbuster.com and says you have to sign in:
http://blockbuster.qrs1.net/s/r?l=118483
If you were a member before you can check your email, the link should be there as well.

I think the link is customized to each person (since someone said the above link doesn't work), so check your email for it.

Confirmed: If you are a current BB subscriber, and your month ends before the year does, you can cancel then you should get the email shortly after, and use it save on a month.

The ones that are active dont. Other than that I dont know, it could be that the emails used to sign up for the account previously were fake, or block it as spam. Or it could be as you say, that only some accounts get the email. But I would imagine that using that link, any account thats not active can take advantage of this deal. If it doesn't work, let us know.

Works, my next billing was supposed to be on dec 27th, so I cancelled my account, and in a few minutes recieved an email with the $1 for a month offer and signed up again.

Yeah I think the link is customized to the person. Check your email for it and use the link there.

I got it too, but since they tried to charge me for a movie I returned after I cancelledI will never go back.
After I challenged the charge with Discover a month later they recieved it.
I am sure they just screwed up and if I didn't challenge they never would have acknowledged the return.
