this is my calm face

If I wanted to play the games they actually send out, compared to the new releases I want to play, I could just buy each game at the five bucks a piece they cost.

So i Re-upped with GameFly when they sent out their "Start back up for a $1 deal." When did their service actually start getting good? After the settlement with the post-office? I don't know about anyone else but I had previously canceled Gamefly years back because I just couldn't take their slow shipping speeds.

Ive been for gamefly for years now. Never had any issues.

I have a q. I'm currently on a 2 game out plan. I bought one one of these 2months for 22.95 certs. for my next month but I actually want to upgrade back up to 4 out plan... (will have some extra time to play during holidays)

I havent used the cert yet. What will happen if i apply it while on a 4 game out plan?

edit- ughh strange. It only letting me upgrade to a 3 out plan.. not 4

I've been with Gamefly a long time to and no issues. What's with some of the hate? Anyways. I'm in for another 2 months. Does anyone know if these can be stacked?

its stackable.

God damn why haven't I done this already?

Also, Stackable with another account. Free 30-Day 1 game out!

If I'm on the "restart for $1" deal, should I wait until the last day and cancel, and THEN redeem the cert, or if I redeem now will it take priority over charging my card for another month?

Has anybody done this recently?...

They make you stay on 3-out for 1 billing cycle before allowing 4-out. I think too many people were taking advantage of the pro-rated upgrade charges, then the longish grace period on returning after a downgrade.

I apologize for gravedigging, but my subscription is about to run out, and I was going to buy more 2 month certificates, but I noticed this below the options:

*Discounts are based on current introductory pricing for the first month of membership. GameFly Gift Certificates are for new members only, are nonrefundable, and cannot be combined with other discounts or offers.

Did it always have this clause? Would I still be able to apply these to my account?

Hmmm could be good to get games like tomb raider and god of war where I won't touch the multiplayer anyway

How long can you hold onto these before they expire?

Well since this was bumped and I didn't want to make a seperate thread for a YMMV entry.

I received an email about three days ago, for the "Restart your membership for $1".

If you've been waiting for a great deal to try GameFly again, there's never been a better time than now! Act by 3/31 to restart your membership and get our best offer ever - a full month of GameFly for only $1. • Rent from over 8,000 console & handheld titles • 6 Shipping Centers across the U.S. • GameFly anywhere - apps for iPhone, iPad & Android • Hundreds of PC games FREE with Unlimited PC Play

I haven't used Gamefly (as a Rental service) for about a year, so I'm pretty sure thats why I received it. But seeing how last year they did this exact same deal during March, you guys might want to check your inboxes/spam folders. Remember its YMMV and it usually pertains to users who haven't been active subscribers for awhile, last year I didn't get one at all.

if you have done a $1 membership once even if it was years ago you won't get the deal. I got this email a few days too and it doesn't offer the $1 deal and wants to charge you full price for a month.

Showing up as 27.99 for me

Thanks for clarifying, I just checked back and I've definitely signed up for $1 before. However, it was during the December 2011 Holiday, so it's a different promo than this.

Oddly enough a few days ago when I initially got the email it showed up as "$22.95 for 2 games" when I clicked on the offer so I figured they sent it out to me by mistake, but I just tried it again and did manage to sign up for $1, not even sure what I'll rent since I have a rather large backlog, but whatevs. $1? I'm in!

Guess I'll bump this, any current subscriber taken the plunge on this and can whether or not this works for existing accounts still?
