This also works with swapabook.com , but that promotion gives you two books. The swapacd.com thing will give you one credit, but you still have to buy $5 in money to cover the $.49 charge.
 
I think I'm going to try this, I have a lot of dvds I don't want.. If I can trade them for newer ones, it's all positive!

Edit: wow, some of them are old enough? that the UPCs aren't in the system... :(

Edit2: So, how do you know what's available? I'm looking at my wish list and don't see any indicators.
 
Thanks for the tip OP, I have a bunch of stuff I got for cheap that I am getting requests for. But the great thing is, you can also use the DVD credits for HD DVD and BLURAY! Trade in your old Lupin the 3rd movies that you got at Suncoast for like $7 for HD media (that's what I am doing, hehe)!

Thanks, I just signed up for the swapabook promo.
 
Thanks, OP. Added a future movie release to my wish list. I guess I'm number one on the list since no one else has requested it yet.
 
I signed up and gave you a referral. I already got matched for Beerfest (terrible movie I won at the Christmas Raffle back at CompUSA), Edward Scissorhands (yard saling yesterday, scored it brand new...then realized it was fullscreen and my girlfriend has the widescreen edition) and some lame SMB Super Show three-episode compilation.

I added about 90 BR's to my list, hopefully I'll get matched to receive some of them.
 
[quote name='CoffeeEdge']So, I assume you can only get one credit this way? Cause the movie I want is two credits...[/quote]
Correct. If do send out a movie though, then you will get a second credit.

Hmm? Wait, so if I sign up as a referral from you, I get credits when you trade?

No. If YOU send out a movie that is requested from you to another user, then you will get a second credit.
 
I signed up, got 2 requests immediately, and sent them out today... then got 3 more requests, which I declined because out of 20 items on my wish list, 0 have shown up. Annoying :(

Awesome! Be patient. You can check your spot in line for those DVDs on your Wish List. The "2 wk est" is an estimate of what spot you will be in in 2 weeks based on how many people post the DVD.

Heh, me too...except I have 92 items on my wish list. ;) However, I'm expecting a little bit of a wait, as most of what I added were blu-rays.

Maybe I'd have better luck with HD-DVDs.

I think it's different when you have 92 items waiting in line, mine are all position 1/1, haha. I'm gonna try pestering some friends to get me some referrals and maybe I can get some box sets.

Good idea! If most of your spots are in 1/1, then you should see one pop up soon.
 
The inherent problem with this "deal" is that when people see free, they sign up for it just to get the free item. So while you might get referrals, HighlightShow, very few will actually receive anything because people are listing movies for the free DVD with the intention of not sending their own.

So if you get anything out of this, then great. But you probably won't.

No, I'm not #92 in line. I added 92 individual items to my wish list. And still no matches.

You are kind of right. A lot of the CAGs that post the DVDs are in the back of the line though, so when someone requests the DVD another user should be in front of them. Granted, this is not the case for all DVDs.

A good idea would be to delete all of the movies from your tower once you receive your free DVD. Just a thought...
 
They locked my account because I declined to send out 2 dvds. It happened when I added my 10 I didn't put them on hold at first, and before I finished entering them all 2 were requested...So I went back and swapped the other 8 to on hold. ( I wanted to get my dvd first to see how long the wait was/if the site was legit) I sent the 2 requesting users a message for canceling, something like "sorry i'm a new member just joined, meant to put them on hold." I now had my 1 credit and put a few dvds on my want list, within a week or so one came up. I had it on auto accept or whatever and got a email saying it was on the way. Now when I log in to their site I get this "You have declined or ignored all requests submitted to you. Please contact us if you want to use this account. " I can't get to my account at all. Pretty fucking poor in my eyes. It's like goozex 100 points for joining, only you cant use those points unless you send something first. They offer you an option to hold onto it if you are still watching it/lent it out or something, but then lock your account for doing so? It wouldn't have even been an issue if they gave a longer period then 5 seconds between post-request time. Anyways rant over, just mad that I wasted time on this and kept checking their site.

Anyways enjoy your free credit OP. Goozex this site is not.
 
I got "banned" as well. Shot them an e-mail asking to reopen my account and they told me they know our plan. The jig is up, fellas.

There's no discretion in trading DVDs on this site and the trading based just on the # of discs is flawed as hell. Try swaptree.com...you don't get a free DVD, but it makes more sense.
 
Hmm. I mailed out 2 dvds right away because I knew 1 credit wasn't going to be enough for any box sets or whatever, though I declined 2 others and put the rest of my dvds on hold. I guess that's good enough for them, although I'm sitting on 3 credits and nothing on my want list is showing at all...
