Of course, he shouldn't have said anything negative about your super hot deal. No one should remind you that BB sent an email to all those who signed up. Or that people who signed up for a DVD rental from BB will obviously not disregard a BB email about their account status as junk. Or that such matters should be posted in the original thread under 'expired deals'.

you are totally missing the point here.

The email that was sent out was changing it from 3 months to 3 weeks. that would mean an expiration date of 7/16 for 3 weeks. They are showing expiration date of 7/7 now!! Don't you see that all these people who got that email thinking they have until 7/15 to cancel will be charged IN 2 DAYS!

who is going to check expired deals for this? give me a break.

exactly why I use redbox and netflix on demand

probably because they are on the verge of bankruptcy.

The flood of charge backs they will get from this may push them over the edge then...

I have no problem with this thread. Thanks for trying to get the word out.

Thanks, just cancelled! Reason: "I signed up for a 3 month trial, received a confirmation email showing I wouldn't be billed until September, and then you retroactively switched it to a 3 week trial. I refuse to do business with a shady company. I'm sticking with NetFlix!"

got july 7 too but that is not even 2 weeks! they are really f'd up and slow to ship movies. no great loss though because i was running out of movies worth seeing.

not getting charged $20 when you're not expecting to! granted not a hot deal, but so many FW'ers affected by this, most won't see if not in hot deals. that's all. just trying to save folks some aggravation.

Those who are thinking of staying with BB. Think twice.

I been with BB online since they started. It was all working great then movies gets longer and longer to show up, until they stopped all together.

It turns out my queue is full of "long wait". Mind you, these are not some recent release movies either and I don't copy stuff and sent it back the same day either.

Just for grins, I let these sit on top of my queue and see how long it takes.

- Startrek voyager Season 6

So far, it's been 6+ months. I suspect either a problem with their computer system or they don't have it.

Thank you MISTERCHEAP For the info, You will save F/W members a lot of money....


alert mods    

Speaking for myself, I check FW Hot Deals daily; and FW Deal Discussion and my "temporary" email (used for BB) almost never. It is really worth my saved time and aggravation to find this heads-up over here. On top of that, a $19.99 charge on the CC I used, would tip it over, and it would incur an Overlimit Fee of $35.
Reasons enough for me to than MC, and not threadcrap.

Besides, the mods, who are savvier than most of us, are leaving it up here. 'nuff said!


alert mods    

Thank you MrCheap... I for one really appreciate the heads up...


alert mods    

hmmm, went to cancel and got a "server error". also, they switched their service to be even worse, used to you would get more sent to you as soon as you turned them into the store for and exchange/rental, now you don't get one sent through the mail until you return the one from the store...BBI is going down for sure.
