How do you prepay for Gamefly (to get a discount?)

[Wolfpup]

I'm signing back up, but I can't figure out how to prepay to get a discount. Don't they have that anymore? My only options seem to be just the regular plans (which is okay if that's all I can do, but...)

Did they increase the prices? They seem the same as I remember...or did they increase them $1?

they also got rid of the cardboard inserts which IMO was a bad idea.

Well, I guess I can understand the price increase-everything's gotten more expensive, from stamps to the surcharges UPS charges, etc. I still like the service.

My big "problem" comes that thanks to CAG, I keep getting all these cheap games I can actually afford, and then Gamefly becomes redundant for a while. (Just picked up FIVE games tonight for a total of

Thanks, but unfortunately they don't seem to give you a discount if you prepay. Would be cool though! Oh well.

Earlier in the summer GF offered a 20% discount if you prepayed. That is over with now.

Doh! I miss that every time, I guess. Oh well, the backlog beckons anyway...

What cardboard inserts? My games are mailed in a paper sleeve inside a cardboard sleeve.

They brought them back a while ago. Perhaps they found out that it was actually worth it to keep the inserts?
