Help with Free Trials on Game Rentals

Posts: 13 Forumite
Hi,
I am currently looking for a games rental site which offers a free trial for PS2 games.
I signed up with LoveFilm about a year ago for the free trial but they tell me on the phone I can't have another trial as I have 'previously enjoyed one'.
I also signed up with gametart about 6 weeks ago for a free trial.
Is there anyway I can sign up to either of these again for the free trial - say in my partners name, a different email addy, and a different bank card number? Or do these companies search on house no. and postcode?
It says in terms and conditions - Subsequent free trials at the same postal address are not allowed, however, is there a way round it? Most companies like tesco and sainsburys are powered by lovefilm so I can't even use them!
Thanks.

Think you could get away with changing your email address with lovefilm previuosly, but since they have merged with screenselect I think it goes on postal address only, have you tried this0

Give another email address and change your home address slightly like add another letter on the end of your street address. That has been working for me for over a year now.
I think Amazon do game rentals and as they are 100 tomes better than Lovefilm, i would suggest you give them a go.0
