You know,

I would love to sign up for BMG through freeflatscreens.com and get a free 27" Flat screen Trinitron out of the deal, but the link to click on for the BMG Music Club doesn't work. I've been waiting for two days, and still.... nothing.

I'm trying the signup via freeipods.com, still waiting for confirmation that I joined.

Do these programs/deals actually work? No catches?

Probably be awhile till I find out. It's my opinion that there doesn't seem to be anything too fishy about it, my BMG order came in fine but it's taking bleeding forever for the site to acknowledge my membership (but I have had one other person complete a deal though I don't know which one).

 

[Born2bwire]

Woohoo! My BMG Music Group finally registered as being completed for freeipods.com, took the better half of a month. Now I need four people to complete/confirm their offers. I have enough people referred by me, just waiting on confirmation of completion of their offers.

Just letting folks know the final breakdown.

15 CDs - total after S&H and payment of the one CD I had to buy - unfortunately i paid for a double CD as the one i bought, it just ended up that way lol-

$68.13

which turns out to $4.54 per disc. Keep in mind after rooting around , some of these were SACD hybrids too, so on my redbook i'm ready for the future.

Here's the final list of what I got:

Upon retrospect, I would have held out to get the Police SACD Hybrid. But I didn't know at the time that AFTER you buy your required CD, the remaining CDs you can get for free have no restrictions. Yeah, the ones before I bought a CD were on a short list. But after, SACDs galore!

Current promotion is $5.99/each with no shipping and handling charges, when purchasing 5 or more discs, which should be about $7.00/each with taxes. This is including SACDs. That's very good prices.

thanks for the heads up - i just got this:

The Sugarcubes
A Collection - The Great Crossover Potential

for some reason, it billed at only $3.99, but included S&H and Taxes. But the final cost was $7.39 or something, so hey I'd call that worth it. Once I get all my little CD goodies in hand, I'm going to cancel the account, muahaha. How do I cancel again? I have to hand-write them a letter? and to what addy? thanks!

 

[soundboy]

I would think you can just e-mail them.

I remember those days.

Now BMG just e-mail me with notices of sales. No card to send back.
