Get cheap DVD rental 16.7% cheaper

I've been using Tesco's DVD rental service (£13.97 for 3 titles, change/keep as long/often as you like) since September to save loads on rental fees.

Today I received an email from them inviting me to pre-pay and get any of the following:

3 months - £5 off
6 months - one month free (i.e. 16.7% off)
12 months - two months free (i.e. 16.7% off)

They use the Video Island service like a number of other more expensive rivals.

If you're going to continue your direct debit subscription anyway, then the six or 12 months options effectively drop the rate to £11.64 per month for 3 concurrent titles.

Do it now! Here's the link: http://www.tescodvdrental.com/account/prepay.html

Oh yes, and I also pay using my Terence Conran card (AMEX not permitted) and effectively save a further 1%. Thank you Martin!

    You might like to consider a better deal with

    https://www.easycinema.com

    with DVD's for rental from £1.99 each, which is £5.97 for three rather than £13.97. I've found they give a very good service.

    The tesco deal is 3 at a time, I had 28 dvd's last month so that's 50p each.
  • Hi. How would you go about applying the Tesco Gift Subscription to your DVD rental account? I currently have an account with them so would I have to close that account and open a new one with the gift subscription and create the dvd reservation list from scratch?

    Thanks!
