    I'm now a dvd tart but I think I will run out of options soon. Someone mentioned that it is possible to obtain almost a year's worth of tarting if you know how since there are about 20 dvd online rental services available. Am I right in saying that if most of these are interlinked then the options are reduced to less than 10?

    I have used screenselect and lovefilm trials and already realise that all the following free trial services are now ruled out for me as a result:

    Tesco
    Moviechoices
    welovefilms.com
    sainsburysdvdrental.co.uk
    dvd.lastminute.com
    dvdrental.cd-wow.com
    dvdrental.whsmith.co.uk
    filmfourdvd.com
    dvdrental.woolworths.co.uk

    Can anyone make any suggestions as to the next trial I could use? I have found that it is possible to use dvds365 and they have a 21 day trial. Any codes for a 30 day trial instead? I want to avoid blockbuster as they've had such bad feedback from what I've read on here.
    Also someone mentioned on here that one could also have some of the free trials extended. How do I do this?

    Many thanks fellow tarters!

    Hiya,

    Often if you are cancelling and the reason is, you haven't had enough time, or couldn't afford the service, circumstances have changed etc. They will extend the free trial. I have had this with lovefilm, dvd356 and videoisland. They may extend the trial for another 2 weeks.

    Darn! If I'd known I would have done that. I just cancelled my lovefilm trial this morning. Thanks for the info. It will be handy for the next trial.

    I am the original poster and am not guilty of what you suggest. You need be careful with such comments my friend!

    marnstars, there have in fact been quite a few posts on this thread that have been deleted due to them having referral links or spamming the boards. Unfortunately sometimes removal means the following posts don't make sense.

    In no way did the poster you refer to mean you were guilty of anything :D

    Thanks so much for the recommendation. I'm into my fourth DVD with them. I like their simplistic site.

    How do I rate movies though?

    I am unable to refund you as we did not recieve your last DVD until 31 March 2005. All discs had to be returned to us by 29 March 2005 to stop any charges applying.

    This is a message i got from dvd365. I cancelled after checking that they had received all dvds back. They were on my account as being received so i then cancelled. They still charge me and then had the cheek of saying it was late. This company are thieves!!!
