I'm thinking of joining, but am waiting for a special deal to come along. Buying 6 at slightly inflated prices in the next 12 months is not very enticing. Anyone have a new code?

I highly suggest that you just join the club and do what they say. I think that if you really want to join the Disney Movie Club you should join it. And do their requirements.

Disney Guru, could you please put a bit more into your posts than this? You seem to have the start of a post here, but you don't explain yourself, so you're really not adding any insight. I'm not just singling out this post; there are a few recent ones that seem not fully thought-out and a bit baffling. Thanks.


As for the subject at hand, I don't know of any new codes, but I do know that the DMC is offering some decent deals once you're a member (like 50% off 2 when you buy 1 at regular price), so that fulfilling shouldn't be so bad.

Cletus--

Just to reinforce what Luke has already pointed out, the real deals at DMC are not upfront. They come once you have achieved preferred status and then you receive offers for "buy one get one", or "buy one and get two at 50% off", etc., etc.

Also, if you have not already purchased the Disney Tins they are still available (as far as I know) through the DMC and count as fulfillment titles. Can't point you anywhere else where you can get a sealed copy of Mickey Mouse in Living Color: Volume 1 for $30.

My point is, if you are waiting for a special code to get started, well, you'll be waiting for a very long time. I have not seen one in the year+ that I've been a member.

After surfing around, I found a way to change the requirement to 5 movies in 12 months instead of 6 in 12 months. That's a bit better, so I went ahead and joined.

I'm a little PO'd though. The agreement says something like "you must buy 5 movies at regular club price ($19.95 for DVDs...)." This was misleading, because once I joined, most of the good DVDs showed up as $21.95. The agreement should have said "STARTING at $19.95." In addition, the prices for those DVDs on the regular Disney Store site are only $19.95. So they have just decided to charge an extra $2 because we are in the club. Pretty slimey if you ask me.

When I considered joining, I calculated that, if simply fulfilling the minimum requirements, each dvd would be about $16 (that's with the offer I got in my e-mail box last week). Considering that I would have to wait to get the dvds late and would possibly NOT get the cool cardboard covers, this didn't seem like an excellent deal for me. Plus, if I attempted to only get dvds that wouldn't come with the covers in the first place (gold collection), I possibly wouldn't save any money, as most of them have gone on sale at best buy...
Those that actually are no cheaper @ the stores (Dumbo) have received rather lackluster reviews (must...have...digitally flawless...picture) and are expected to get a reissue.
So, as you can see, I'm sort of stuck.
