Saw this on Slickdeals:

Gamefly Holiday Special: 2 Games Out for $1 for a month

I just tried it out and it still works. Make sure you cancel after the month is up otherwise you will be charged the regular $22.

https://www.gamefly..../backfor1dollar

Great opportunity for those of you looking to try out games before buying them.

EDIT: You have the chance to get a total of 60 days from this deal. First go the link i posted above and then go to cancel my membership at "My account." There will be a banner to get an extra month for free. My membership will now not expire until February.

Hmmmm...seems too good to be true at first glance. I have this feeling that they will charge me $22 for the next month even if i try cancelling

this deal is actually pretty old and a person on slickdeals confirmed he was able to cancel. When he cancelled he was able to get another month for a $1!

lol @ linkage

yeah i know lol. dont worry though i am not redirecting you slickdeals. I just copied the link from slickdeals.

[VALikimlav]

Wow that's great. Just did this. I can rent games over Christmas break now. Thanks.

[kanamit]

Awww no way that actually works...i got the month for $1 and then got the extra free month . I still think they will charge me though lol i just dont trust gamefly.

[SpartenOmega117]

Just posted on how to get a total of 60 days with this deal

[cheaphuck]

I just signed up and after completion it take say

2-Game Plan:

2 games out at a time
$22.95/month
(plus any applicable taxes)


2-Game Plan Pre-Paid Membership:

2 games out at a time
Effective Date:
12/17/2011 - 1/17/2012


Is that right? I see nothing about $1

[Noblesse Oblige]

I believe that you had to be a member once before to get the $1 (just a guess).

The second month is dependent on their "when you cancel we offer you a free month in hopes you stay" policy, if you did it in the past as a member you won't be offered it again.

2-Game Plan Pre-Paid Membership:

That's the dollar membership. The other part is how much it costs afterwards.

It would have said $1 when you purchased, just check your billing history (charge should be $1.05)

If you had to be a prior member to get this deal, then I'm glad I didn't try it. I've never been a member of Gamefly, but I have bought a buncha stuff from their used game sales. The fact that you get everything with the games(including sometimes unused DLC codes;)) is great.

[ferris182]

Thanks for the info. I just re-signed up. I had GF a few years ago.

[kanamit]

My membership consisted of a 14 day free trial, and this worked for me.

Good call. Says $1.09. Thanks.

[T9X69]

Meh, I got one month for $1 but when I hit cancel it said add another month for 11.95. I hit continue to see how much tax they charge and they instantly took $13 from my debit card. Not really a big deal since I was planning on getting Gamefly soon anyway, but just be careful clicking continue with Gamefly lol

[Snuggelz]

So, in order to claim this deal, you need to be a former member? (one that hasn't claimed the free month upon canceling)?

[CyReN]

My subscription runs out on the 29th, if I cancel mine now and do this can I keep the games I have out to rent?

Same here ($11.95). Dang it!

[Aerc]

Thanks. Wasn't really any games I wanted so I canceled, but for $1 I'm sure I can find something.

[gunnm]

so the first month is $1 and $22 after?

[Saix_XIII]

Thanks, signed up for two months for $1. I am not a big fan of renting games at all, but for $1, why not.

[ClevelandBrowns]

Awesome deal. Just signed up and got 60 days pre paid for one dollar!

[PlayLives]

Any ideas on how long this will be offered? I just signed up for a 1mnth free trial so want to wait till that is almost over and then "re-join" with this deal.

[Snuggelz]

Wait... So how exactly does this work? I've never been a Gamefly subscriber, so am I even eligible for this?

[Coltin]

Signed up for a month. When trying to cancel, I don't see a free month or any other offer. When does the offer show up? Is it after you first click cancel or after you fill out the questionnaire?

[Vyrtigo]

At what point is the second month offered? I don't want to accidentally cancel all the way

[Blade]

If anyone could just copy/paste the link of the free month banner, that would be a big help.

[Coltin]

lol that's what I'm worried about
