Oo. nice to see that rather than improving service etc to get customers, you could just bribe them to switch over lol

[psiufoxx2]

Wow that deal rocks.

Here's what I plan to do.

Cancel netflix (which has no cancellation fees).
Mail cancellation notice to BB.
Receive any free $25 new release DVD.
Receive 2 free months of BB online service.
Receive 2 free game rentals (or movie rentals) each month in store.
And CANCEL BEFORE THE TWO MONTHS ARE UP.

Then rejoin netflix. Easy and kickass.

Nice deal... free is always good. But what's with the:

ACT NOW AND WE WILL HONOR YOUR EXISTING
WAL-MART OR NETFLIX MEMBERSHIP PLAN
AND PRICE FOR 1 YEAR.
OFFER VALID FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY.

Isn't BB the cheapest of all 3 already?

[Snake2715]

Would BB see a join date if you just decided to Join Netflix?

[alfonsosoriano]

What I got from the fine print is that if you have a 2 out at a time plan at Netflix, you only get a 2 out at a time plan at BB for the free months.

[TheSlav]

So, what if you changed your plan to the 8 at a time deal. Then you cancel your netflix before they bill you. Will it still show up as 8 at a time or would it be whatever plan you were last billed for?

[Yo Mama]

You can just send a cancellation notice, and say you are part of any plan. You don't actually need to cancel your Netflix account, or even have one.

Yep, I rather pay for Netflix

[techstar25]

Does anybody know if I can use this method to extend my 1-month free trial? My 1-month is about to end and I was going to cancel this week.
Is this netflix deal just open to brand new subscribers to BB?

[The Successful Dropout]
