    Damn, I took a three weeks free trial (found a code for the extra free week) and then received a mail saying Id get a £1 a month off if I signed up for 3 months which I did. That was a week ago. Wonder if its too late to cancel and take out the new offer.

    There is nothing to stop you from taking out a gift subscription starting after your 3 months has expired (and 3 months later and so on). That way you can earn 750 points on each one.

    Good luck.

    Is there any cancellation required at the end of the 3 months to stop them from taking more payments from your credit card? I tried to look at the T&Cs but the link didn't seem to work...
  • I've just tried to do this - thought it would make a nice Christmas gift for my husband, but the website isn't working properly - when you try to buy the gift subscription it takes you to the page for the 14 day free trial registration. I called them, and they were basically pretty unhelpful and said they would have to investigate and that they had received several calls with the same problem - and that they would call me back late today. When I asked if the 750 points offer ended at 10am they said it did and basically that it would be tough if I missed it, they couldn't do anything about it! Not exactly good service
  • Haven't got T&C in front of me but pretty sure that they say they will take CC details at start of gift period and down to recipient to cancel.

    Working fine now
  • Still doing the same thing for me jammy123 - I go to the gift page, click to buy a subscription, enter my emial address and club card number, press continue and then get a page which says I am registering for a 14 day free trial and to enter my details.

    I've just been onto the site thro Rpoints & the offer now stands @ 500 points. So @ £20 on redemption it is still free on 3 month contract.

    IS IT WRITTEN ON TABLETS OF STONE THAT YOU CAN ARRANGE SEVERAL CONSECUTIVE DEALS & STILL RECEIVE THE VOUCHERS? & AT WHAT POINT DOYOU PAY FOR THE FUTURE ARRANGEMENTS, IS IT PAYMENT UP FRONT FOR ALL.

    I guess that even if it is its still freeicon6.gificon10.gif

    Also as an afterthought:- it says '500 EXTRA Points' So do you also get standard issue points as well??????

    I believe so.
  • When I enquired at Tesco they said the club points are added when you buy the DVD rental as a gift.Not available for the club card holder. have others had the same response?

    I ordered two gift subscriptions, and I have not had confirmation of either of them. What did worry me was that when I ordered the second one, the site already had my credit card details.
