    As a warning don't expect to get any high demand films in your 3 month trial. I had 'How to lose friends and alienate people' as high priority for 2.5 months, never had more than 3 films marked as 'high priority' and always returned 3 at the same time. That film was marked as 'short wait' Slumdog Millionaire (released on Monday) is marked as 'long wait' so you'd have more chance of winning the lottery than getting that film in a trial period.

    You need to be careful with that coz they match up addresses and could automatically start charging you .. ppl have tried fabricating a house name instead of using house number and still be charged. Any hope you dont get charged...

    ...PS thanks for sharing the code!

    LoveFilm do some 3 month offers which include former customers, including those who have previously had a 1 month free trial. However, if the code is eligible for that then you would be able to use it with the same email address that you initially signed up with.

    If you've used a LoveFilm group before, just use a different postcode. Go to Multimap.com and type in a postcode similar to yours, one letter out or something - and see if it comes up as 'not recognised' that's what I did and it seemed to work!

    I have just come to an end of my 3 month trial, I think everything is different for different people. I personally got How to lose friends and alienate people quite early on, however did not get Saw V at all. I found that new releases can come straight away, for instance I recieved Defiance and Frost Nixon either on the same day as they were released, guess its down to pot luck. In the last couple of weeks of the trial I got rid of any old films from the list, leaving just new ones in the list, and they then would send out 3 newish films...

    Another tip, early on in the trial if you get unlimited, I had a really quick turn around time (getting 9 films a week) however after a while their fair use policy kicks in and the service slows up as you lose priority in terms of dispatching dvds.

    i've been on to them about this and i don't think it's you being limited, my turnaround for discs at the lovefilm end has really really slowed down

    In more recent cases I've got an email on Wednesday at 11pm saying three discs have been dispatched and get one in the post on Thursday, one in the post on Friday and one in the post on Saturday.

    I got more high priority films on my free trial than when I was actually paying. Needless to say, I cancelled that subscription.

    Found this code for 2 months if 3 months has expired. Only valid in June.
