DVD rental suggestions?

boso

I'm thinking about using blockbuster.co.uk for online DVD rental, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them, and what they are like?

I've been with lovefilm, and was ready to pay for their service, but they won't accept my Visa debit card for some reason, and I'm tired of arguing with them, so I'm looking for another provider.

Also, does anyone know have any vouchers/offers for blockbuster at the moment?

Thanks.

i signed up yesterday lunchtime, and have received my first 2 dvds already this morning so very impressed with that. it appears that the free month trial i am on at the moment is the package that usually costs £16 or £19 a month (not sure which of the two) i think i am going to see how many dvds i watch and see from there what i subscribe to after the trial. found one for 7.82 a month with 2 dvds a time and 4 rents a month (so potentially 8 dvds a month)

its not tracked through quidco yet though (£7.50 cash back for a successful free trial)

does any one know when you can select the package you wish to go onto after the trial has finished? as i dont want it to default to one thats too high!

Once you switch your package, you start to pay, and your trial ends.

thanks, in that case i guess i should chose the package i want the day before i am due to be charged for my first month? first payment is due on 24th august, so chose the package the day before? else how do i select which package i want to be on?

I'm having the same problem with Tesco (Lovefilm powered) - had a 6 week free code, but can't get either my or my husbands debit cards to be accepted, so shan't bother.

We've used Blockbuster before and been very happy with them.

been really impressed with blockbuster service. got my cash back too via quidco. have decided to go for the reduced 2 disc at a time, 4 rents a month at the moment though for £7.82 though as with postal strikes etc doubt they will be processed as quick
