Blockbuster Better Deal Than Netflix
I just got my first assignment as a member of the LinkyLoveArmy, and it's one I'm very happy to participate in.
We're promoting the Blockbuster Online Total Access Trial deal.
When you sign up for Blockbuster Online, you get the first month for $9.99, and then $17.99 each month after that. Your membership fee entitles you to have up to 3 DVDs at a time. That's similar to Netflix's most popular plan, with one added bonus -- with Blockbuster Online, instead of returning your DVDs through the mail, you can put the DVD in the postage-paid envelope and take it to your local Blockbuster store and exchange it for a free rental DVD.
How freaking cool is that?
Of course the trick to all these sorts of DVDs-through-the-mail things is to make sure you watch enough DVDs to get your money's worth. For me, that means watching and returning 7 or 8 movies a month. For families like Julie's, watching 10 to 20 movies a week, a Blockbuster DVD rental subscription is a no-brainer. We don't watch that many, but we watch enough that it makes sense for us to join a DVD service like that.
Another bonus with BlockBuster Online is that you get a printable coupon for 1 free in-store DVD rental every month. So if you work it right, you can get order 3 DVDs through the mail, watch them, then return them to your local Blockbuster store, where you get 3 free in-store DVDs. And as soon as the kid at the Blockbuster store punches your return into their computer, the next 3 DVDs in your queue go into the mail. If you do that once a week, that's 25 movies a month. For $17.99. If your turn-around time is faster, you can get even more DVDs for your dollar.
IF your family watches that many DVDs every month, then I think this Blockbuster thing is a hell of a good deal.
