When to Cancel Blockbuster Free Trail?

Hi, Does anyone have any tips on when to cancel the blockbuster free 2 week DVD rental trial? Maybe the day before is okay or earlier. I took out the offer on the 18th april (tuesday), so was thinking of canceling tonight or tommorow. When would they usually take out the first payment? Also I returned the DVD's last Friday so they should arrive back tommorow. If anyone has any advice on avoiding any charges or payments, it would be appreciated, Cheers.

  • They take payment a month after you register so long as you have cancelled during the two week trial and post everything back Blcokbuster won't charge you.

    I cancelled about 2-3 days before it ran out.

    They take payment just after the 2 week trial ends. I tried it about the middle of April an they took my first payment a couple of days ago.

    I decided its not that bad tho so didn't rush to cancel it, might have it for a few months and watch all those films i never got round to seeing.

    I took out a months trial. cant remember what day it was ( i got a bit confused) they took the money 12.04am on the day the trial ended.

    However, I emailed them & they are refunding back the 14.99 minus one day for me, but it takes a month to come back.

    I've just signed up for a free two week trial through one of my cashback sites and this might seem really obvious but do I just add movies to my favourite list and they post the top 3 out to me? Thanks
