Blockbuster - Free In-store Rental for Netflix Members

[Spoofee]

From Feb. 15 through Feb. 21, including two days when post offices are closed, current Netflix members can bring the tear-off address flaps of their Netflix rental envelopes to any of the more than 5,000 participating U.S. BLOCKBUSTER stores. In exchange for every flap they present, they will receive an on-the-spot free movie rental.

Wow, I'm quite happy I started saving those flaps after the last promotion, 30 free movie rentals yay!

No problems here returning movies to Blockbuster. They always show up as returned the next day. If you are having problems, you may want to try renting from a different store.

Blockbuster online is awesome. Triple the rentals in the same amount of time. Anyone who prefers Netflix is just way off and not using it to their advantage. Put them side by side and you get 6 dvd's at blockbuster per 3 you'd get in the same time through Netflix. No comparison. Plus another free rental on a movie OR game every month.

I am in love w/blockbuster online... I get my movies the day after they ship, I return them to my local store for a free in store rental. When my local store gets my envelope, they check it in & my next movie ships... the online warehouse does not even have it in hand yet... I LOVE BB online!!!! The only problem is I AM SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME WATCHING MOVIES... AAAAHHHHH!

I've used both. Netflix so far has been a little better simply because the shipping seems to be faster. Netflix was also the original so I like that. I just cannot stand copycats.

Netflix has a better movie selection IMO, but I like being able to turn the mailers in at a B&M and rent additional ones right on the spot, so there's no time inbetween waiting for movies.

I used blockbuster to my advantage...i would get the movies in the mail the same day i would return them to the store...pick 3 from instore...wait for the 3 more in the mail and return them with the 3 instores...but they take forever to ship...netflix was way quicker and i was getting more dvds in a week through netflix then BB and netflix has a way better selection...at first i loved BB but now i dont really like it...the free game rental is cool but its only one a month...

How ironic. Spoofee is definitely not the first site of its kind (though it is the best).
