Is BMG and columbiahouse.com are good deals

[S]

Hi,

The music clubs, like bmg.com are those good deals?

Columbia House has an excellent deal going on DVD's. Go to www.dvdtalk.com's deals forums for info. Call Columbia House's 800 # and give them code HMA, you get 5 dvd's for around $19 or so depending on your taxes, no shipping. Then you just have to buy 2 more for $19.95 a piece or more in 2 years. Most people have 2 memberships going at a time, as soon as they get their 5 initial dvd's, they order their 2 fulfillment titles and cancel in the same phone call. You don't even have to send in your reply card if you do it that way. I highly recommend everyone check this one out, been going for several months.

In the long run you pay the same amt as if you were to buy 13 CDs alone instead of with the clubs, so I'd say no

I did the BMG deal several times a little over a year ago. It was a pretty good deal when I did it and (assuming they haven't changed it around since then) it works out to be about $5 or $6 per CD after shipping.
An even better BMG deal involved referring your friends once you were a member:

I forgot to mention, by the time you are done with the dvd club, you end up with 7 dvd's for less than $70, I think my total was around $69. It is less for some people since you do pay sales tax.
