    I signed up for Lovefilm but their website was tricky - I had signed up for a 2 week offer via pigsback but they kept asking me to select 10 films when I only wanted 2. I cancelled so I never got to use them.
  • with lovefilm you select a choice of films that you would like to rent then they send you one that is available.

    I think that if you do a search for Lovefilm then you may find some offers etc.

    If you use Quidco then you can also get money that way.

    I used to have LoveFilm. I got an other that you got 14 days free trail and four cinema tickets. After 10 or so days I phoned up to cancel, they asked why i was cancelling and I said it was too expensive. They then offered me 3 months for the price of one (12.99).

    She service was fine, you have a list of films you want and they send you whats available. I cancelled at three months (its not worth £12.99 unless you watch a lot of films imo) . A week later they emailed me offering another three months for £12.99.

    Hi
    We are with LoveFilm, any three DVD/games at a time and as soon as you send one back, they send you another one. We pay £14.99/month and it is well worth it because we watch a lot of films. The service has always been really good, never had any problems with them.

    I was with them for a year or more. After the first couple of months they started waiting a couple of days before sending another DVD. When I complained they said they were sending them out on the day they got one back. But it was very odd as when they posted a DVD to me it always arrived the next day, but when I posted them back they took 3 days to reach LoveFilm.

    Also, when thee were only 3 films I really wanted to watch I had to pick another 7 just to get my list up to 10. They never sent one of the 3 I really wanted to watch, just one of the others that were only their to make up the numbers.

    We use Amazon and pay the lowest rate (£3.99 a month for up to two DVDs). I had problems with Lovefilm before in that the films I wanted never were available, but I haven't had a problem with Amazon.
