61.95 + 21.00 = 81.95 + tax = 87.68 compair to $73.67 almost a 14 buck jump from this summer

I think the 3 month thing was just a 1 time deal so they didn't lose customers over the summer lull. Lot's of CAGs were reporting difficulty getting new releases. The fact that this is available now makes the deal interesting, and regardless it's better than paying full price.

I looked through my billing history and for the summer offer I paid 43.05/3 months for 1 game out. So $14.35/month. If you prepaid for a year it would be $12.50/month for 1 game out. For whatever reason I don't pay tax on my membership or it's included.

just too bad Credit card only. I got like 350 bucks credit there... So either way im payed though Feb 2010 LOL

I would jump on this but I can't justify spending that much money on myself when Christmas is just around the corner. But that didn't stop me from sending out invites to a number of people I know to give them a holiday hint.

Thx op and the Bigcrumbs cashback should cover tax .

little news but just heard that Gamefly will no longer give anything if the game takes longer then 7 days to get to you

ususally they are more then happy to credit you 5 gamefly bucks if the game takes more then 7 days to get to you but it seems gamefly is losing to much cash and has stopped it

Thanks OP for the reminder and thanks Slide for the math. This will save me $55 from what I'm paying now. I highly recommend this service.

Edit: Merged with older thread, I'm not crazy! Don't forget BigCrumbs (possible extra 9% back!!!, link in sig).

Haven't seen this posted yet, but there was a similar deal a while back which I know a lot of people took advantage of (me included).

Gamefly is currently offering discounts on gift certificates for membership. Discounts start at 5% (2-month certificate) and go up to 20% off (12-month certificate).

For example, you could buy a 12-month certificate for their 2-game plan for $219.95 + tax. This comes out to about $18/month, which saves me about $60 over the regular subscription fees. If you're like me and have had a subscription for a long time (and plan to keep it), you may as well save yourself some money. The last time a deal like this came around (well over a year ago), there were no certificates involved and you could just pre-pay your subscription and get the savings.

Edit: I've confirmed that this works with existing memberships (tried it myself). Knock yourselves out Gamefly subscribers

So, these can definitely be used with existing accounts? I saw this on GameFly's website, but I doubted I could take advantage of the deal.

Yep, just did it myself with a 12-month certificate. I went to "My Account" and clicked "Redeem a Gift Certificate". At first, it said there was already an account with my email address (as if it was trying to create a new subscription) and prompted me with a login box. However, I logged in and it said the gift certificate was redeemed. Next billing date... January of 2010

I'm glad I saw this... My previous pre-paid year had run out and I even emailed them to see if they would allow me to pre-pay my next year at a discount (they wouldn't). Was considering cancelling my subscription to save a little money, but for $18/mo and 2 games out at a time, I think it's worth keeping. Sure wish BrightSpot was still around, though

Is the service uninterrupted? For example, if I want to buy 12 months but don't want to subscribe every month, can I use them later?

Also, what are the member rewards (http://www.gamefly.com/member/rewards.asp)? I tried to view it in two different browsers and the page is blank, though that might be because I'm currently not subscribed.

GameFly rewards are pretty decent. Every three months, you get a $5 coupon to use towards used games. After six months, you get 5% off used games for the duration of your subscription. After a year, you get 10% off used games.

hmm tempting, I'll have to see if I have $220 before this offer ends

Pretty sure it has to be used consecutively... and yes, the rewards are pretty decent, especially when you stack them with some of the great deals they offer on occassion (ie: Use 10% off an a $5 coupon on one of these $9.99 games they have right now to get it for about $4 shipped). Or, rent the latest and greatest must have game and choose to "Keep It", using the discounts to get it well over 30-35% off retail price.

There's no limit on how often you can use the 5% or 10% off, it's always active and they even reflect the discount in the prices you see in the store and also in Keep It prices. Personally, I like to rent brand new games that have just been released and keep them right away if I determine that the game is worth it. Almost always save at least $15 off the retail price and the game is brand new if you're the first person renting it. So, regardless of what deals are available on new games, you can always count on being able to get one at a decent price.

Thanks OP. I am existing suscriber and 20% off makes their prices reasonable now. It worked just like you said next bill date 12/09

Yeah, if you're lucky enough to get GF to send you a brand-new title, stacking their already low price with your rewards, especially if you have a $5 coupon lying around, is a great deal.

If I were to get a membership for 12 months of 1-out, would there be any way to upgrade and pay the additional amount every month if I wanted to? I know Netflix allows you to do this, but I am not sure how or if it would work with Gamefly.
