tanks for the heads up. appreciate it

Thanks for the info. I thought I am good for a free 3 week trial till 07/16.
But in My Account it shows - Next Billing Date:July 07,2009.

I just cancelled my subscription online and it was effective immediately. I got one month time, till 08/05 to ship back the DVDs that I have.

TIP: If you have a DVD that's processing or about to ship today, you might want to wait till tonight. You will get 1 more DVD if you cancel it tonight

i called bb and they said trial was changed on 7/4 and will not be billed until 8/7 even though billing cycle says 7/7. since they sent out an email stating you have 3 week trial, they really can't charge you early, so i'm going to chance it.

Another tip. If you have DVDs on hand, trade them at BB B&M tonight if you have one around. This trial membership is good for 5 trades. Then cancel.

for some reason my subscription is expiring on 7/16 giving me a full 3 weeks. thanks mc for trying to help all these people. ignore the haters!

I just checked my account again today, and BB changed my next billing date again to 7/17/09!!! This is rediculous, the next billing date seems to change from day to day. Although this time they finally got the ending date correct for a 3 weeks free trial membership. So for those of you still haven't cancelled, check your account again!

Apparently this snafu caused several knee jerk reactions at BB. My account changed next bill date several times. From the original 9/26 to 7/07, then 8/09 and now 7/17. Is there an executive at BB with half a brain? Do they really expect any of the trial members to stay after this?

Mine looks OK at 3 weeks from start to finish.

Ya know, I'm not really all that mad they didn't give me the 3 months free. A bit disappointed, yes, and I don't like how it appears to have been a legit offer bailed upon rather than a mistake (bad karma), but I'm only halfway through my 3-week trial and I'm impressed with what I have experienced so far. I may find it worth $20/mo since I'm using it to experience my Blu-Ray player and so far I've seen like 10 movies (they've been turning around uber fast for me, coupled with the in-store trade option). However, they're going to have to majorly increase their Blu Ray selection to keep me on as my must-see's are almost done with already.

Sadly, with the way I've seen BlockBuster run in the past, they will see this issue incorrectly. For them they will decide to slow down the turn-around for BluRay watchers to ensure they don't run out of titles to watch instead of increasing their available titles, thus killing the value of the deal, and running away their customers...or so is my guess on how this will likely pan out despite Blu Ray prices dropping greatly as of recently.

Mine looks similar - it shows my in-store swap history by listing the titles, but the number count below never changes from zero.

Online account says my next billing date is Jul 17. But when I called I was told it doesn't end till Jul 25 and I won't be billed untill Aug. 17. They've got their systems screwed up.
