[quote name='cagfansub']It is definitely YMMV. Those who got it in their hometown are very lucky.
Enjoy while it lasts.[/QUOTE]

yeah, i dunno, it kinda seems that way based on the posts, but my local HWV had tons of very official looking signage up for the promotion--talking window stickers, in-store signs, banners, the whole deal. Also they looked professional, like something corporate would do, not the kind of thing one store would run out and have made. A lof of them had the tag line "cheap date" or something like that on them...

hmm one thing I cant believe we haven't tried is to just call hollywood corporate and ask them if all stores are participating in this promo
i'll get the number today
 
So is this just 1 free rental per account or is it 1 free rental at a time per account?

I'd love to rent 10,000 BC, Persepolis, and The Bank Job :) I already have 3 free game rentals a month via Game Crazy coupons, so this just makes me feel criminal :(
 
one per day per acct i believe.

it's madness, when you scan them, they're all free... DOES NOT COMPUTE!!!! :whee:

//edit: Glad I saw this post, totally forgot my movie was due back tomorrow
 
I heard a commercial for it on the Radio.

Seems like it wouldn't be YMMV, but.. oh well. Maybe a lot of stores just aren't participating.
 
Okay, here's the scoop from their corporate office (#877-325-8687):

It's apart of a new test program/marketing campaign called "Cheap Shot, Cheap Date". Not all stores are participating in this, they're using the ones that are to test the market and see if it's something worth implementing. The CSCD is supposed to give you cheaper movie rental prices on certain new releases (this month's is the Bank Job or something like that) as well as taking $1 off old releases - the lady was a bit unclear. It also, as the thread states, gives anyone apart of this a free bluray rental as well. Should be per day.

Enjoy, and those like me who aren't near a 'test' store - aww well.

Aww well from me too. Like I've stated, my HV store (St.Louis, MO) does not have this flyer: Cheap Shot/Cheap Date. The clerks and store manager have not receive anything from corp that this marketing is going on. Like many others, I think this is definitely YMMV.
 
Wow, first time one of these ever worked for me. Called the local store this morning, and the clerk said they were participating! Got there and couldn't miss the giant yellow window banner that said "FREE BLU-RAY RENTALS". The clerk thought it was supposed to go until the end of August, seems to be 1 per day, per account. I guess I'll find out tomorrow for sure when I get another movie. :)

Count my store in Chandler, AZ as part of the promotion. They had a big yellow sticker on the store windows and also the same ad near the bluray section.
