I did this, too and wondered. I got approval for my mortgage, faster.

I think they review to see if you've ever been a member before or if you have any record of not fulfulling previous memberships.

Does anyone know if this is separate from the Columbia House DVD/Movie Club? I am a member there, wondering if this would still credit or if that would be a fraud issue?

[Mom2aPrincess]

I think it's seperate as I've gotten advertisements for this club with my videos.

Tricia have you seen any credits pending on this one yet? I am concerned about the membership thing. I was a member of CH years and years ago, probably under my maiden name, I am hoping that wont cause us issues with fraud.

These are all through a company that only updates every couple of days, and I haven't seen any credits at all yet. I wouldn't be worried until after Monday.

[jnorth1007]

LOL Im not really worried about the credit although it will be nice, Im more worried they wont let me have my movies

I have been "approved" at Columbia House and in looking at their site and prices, they are fairly comparable to DeepDiscount, even paying shipping and tax. Charmed, episode One was even cheaper, right now. They appear to run several specials, I guess similar to all clubs. All in all, I think I will have no problems fulfilling my obligation and then some. Probably the opposite.
