The link is just a regular Gamefly link. Personal links to this deal are sent to GF customers who havent subscribed in a while. I didn't post mines for obvious reasons.That link is wonky.
Thanks for the heads up. Found the link in my email under the heading, "$1 GameFly Subscription"The link is just a regular Gamefly link. Personal links to this deal are sent to GF customers who havent subscribed in a while. I didn't post mines for obvious reasons.
dont forget it will take 15 days as wellI actually did receive one, myself, a few hours ago, and it's likely due to the fact that I haven't been a member in ~2 years. Can't wait to put 20 games in my queue and get the one at the very bottom!
Used gamefly for 5 years and nothing has changed. Most of the time I can expect the game in my mail box 2 days after they announce it ships. There are times where the games do get stuck for an extra day or two but it doesn't happen often.What's strange is that seven or eight years ago, I'd get games within a couple of days, yet now I see everyone complain about slow shipping speeds. I think they've even opened up at least one new warehouse (or whatever passes for a warehouse for them) in that time, too, so I'm curious as to what changed - or more accurately, why it's slower now.
It's based on what is near you and who has your game. There are shipping centers near New York but they would occasionally send me a game higher in my queue even though that game was only in the California center. Not sure if they've improved the algorithm that decides whether queue spot or delivery quickness is prioritized.What's strange is that seven or eight years ago, I'd get games within a couple of days, yet now I see everyone complain about slow shipping speeds.

Gamefly used to be awesome but those days are long gone. My best guess would be that as they've become a large company they've cut costs as much as possible and also got a better but slower rate with USPS.What's strange is that seven or eight years ago, I'd get games within a couple of days, yet now I see everyone complain about slow shipping speeds.

Same here. Wanted to use it to beat a couple of short games.I got the email as other ones before about the discounted re-subscription, but every time I actually click them it always says the full price.
They already have your money. It's like how I've been using Amazon Prime for almost seven years now and I never qualify for any of their special offers.Always hate to see them do things like this for people who are no longer interested, but ignore the people who have been subbed for a long time. Couldn't use that to improve the crappy loyalty rewards system I guess.
Right, and I understand that. But I'd be willing to bet money that this doesn't suddenly make people who didn't use their service before continue using it afterwards. With shipping costs, they probably are breaking near even. Maybe they'll get a few people who forget to unsub afterwards, similar to how PS+ and Xbox Live catches people.They already have your money.

No? What makes you say that? Everyone always says that about everything - Gamestop, Best Buy, consoles, computers, books. None of them are going anywhere for a long time. If anything, Gamefly should be able to reduce costs now that the major platforms both use blu-ray so the discs are difficult to scratch.No email. Shame. Wanted to beat some quick games. Does anyone else feel GameFly is going to die soon?
It's just that I don't hear about GameFly thriving anymore: no ads, shipping's worse... it's clearly not as popular as it used to be.No? What makes you say that?

This worked for me, thank you.Here's my link. Hopefully CAG's auto referral thing won't mess it up.
Ha, I feel the same way. On one hand, it's a great deal, but on the other, the reason I canceled before is I ran out of things to play. Still, for a dollar I bet I could find a game or two that interests me enough to justify it.Zero idea why I spent the $1, there is nothing I want to play that I don't have! Maybe I'll get Twilight Princess and hope I can get some of the upcoming quirky new releases.
This worked for me too. Cheers.Here's my link. Hopefully CAG's auto referral thing won't mess it up.
This worked for an old account, but after selecting the $1 reactivation offer, the next confirmation screen lists the full price. For those who had this work for them, did the confirmation screen list the regular plan price or the promotional price?Here's my link. Hopefully CAG's auto referral thing won't mess it up.
It did for me, too, but it said it charged me $1 after I went ahead and paid.This worked for an old account, but after selecting the $1 reactivation offer, the next confirmation screen lists the full price.
