View Full Version : Just a reminder on DVD deals for those who don't know

I know this is kinda a "no duh" sort of thing for those who know, but here goes really quick for those who don't. :) For almost every DVD, it's hard to beat Amazon.com's prices. If you set up a dummy email account and go to the reffer-a-friend link under your account settings page, you can send a one time $5 gift certificate to your dummy email account. Use this when you make your purchase of a DVD/CD/book/small article and you will get $5 dollars instantly taken off from the cost of your order. This means that if you buy a DVD and use the $5 GC, you will get free shipping and $2 off the regular price. :) It also means that if you are ordering multiple items, ordering them seperately and using a promo $5 GC each time (because you can only use one per order) will save you even more. :) I hope this has helped someone out there.

Till later,

Billy the Kid

Does anyone have a current Columbia House code?? I tried to use the killer deal they had a few months back, but it was long since expired. I think it was like 7 dvd's for a total of 48 bux.. that's not bad at all..

Correctly if I'm wrong, It's been a while for me too, but I think the current best deal is with the code "FVQ." You get 8 DVD's for about $80. Which comes down to about $10 per DVD. Not too bad.

I think the Columbia House code is actually FVT...

Well as i understand it amazon's never made a profit...
chances are they won't be in business forever with that particular fact.. your not helping matters by screwing them.
just my ps2 cents.. :)

look, quite worrying about big government running out of money, they can do just fine on their own without taxing us so damn much! :mad:

Just letting everyone know that the code "FVT" still works fine - just click the 3 DVDs for a cent picture on the redone site, and then you'll be back to the old look and you can enter a code.

It doesn't matter whether they've made a profit yet. Nobody cares about that. All that matters is their future growth potential, and Amazon has considerable potential for growth. Nobody expects them to have profits now . . . they're all expecting the profits in the future . . . they'll be around for a good long time.

Of course nobody's helping them stay in business by screwing them . . . but the fact that they're not making money NOW is a moot point.

Yes, it's like demanding profit out of a Tree Farm in the first year; some things take time to grow
