Blockbuster Online (DVD Rental Program) - By: John Foley

Blockbuster's online rental program, Total Access, allows subscribers to choose from several different packages and pricing. You can select your movies at their site and this online DVD rental service will ship them directly to your door.

Premium Total Access plans allow you to exchange an unlimited number of DVD mailers for free in-store rentals and/or discounted game rentals. Each month Blockbuster Online™ provides you with two ecoupons for FREE in-store movie or game rentals . Print your ecoupons and take them into your nearest participating BLOCKBUSTER store to enjoy your free movie or game rentals. Coupled with the recent announcement they will eliminate late fees for in-store rentals, the price cuts may signal deep troubles within the movie rental giant. On the other hand, it may be a sign they are expecting a huge windfall from “selling” customers DVDs and games that are over two weeks late.

Their popular Total Access plan offers unlimited rentals with 3 DVDs out at a time and 5 free in-store exchanges for just $19.99 a month. There are no due dates or late fees, and delivery is free both directions. The drop-box outside is for in-store rentals only. Your DVDs from blockbuster.com should be sealed in their return mailers. More titles have been gradually added to the in-store collection and Blockbuster expanded their inventory of blu-ray discs in 2007 after watching blu-ray rentals surpass HD DVD rentals. Today, Blu-ray disks are available in over 1,700 Blockbuster store locations.

As a result, making high-def titles available in-store will wait until the success levels of the online sampling program indicate it would be viable for Blockbuster to do so. In the meantime, the company will watch consumer penetration levels for HD DVD and Blu-ray players and recorders, which the online survey highlighted as a potential roadblock for wide customer adoption. You can just drop them off at a Blockbuster location near you and they will mail the movie for you or do an in-store exchange. Meaning, you can go to your local Blockbuster store and pick a movie off of their shelves and rent it. Plus you get two e-coupons per month for free local in-store movie or game rentals.

Blockbuster's plan is now identical in price to that of Netflix, although they also send between 1 and 4 coupons monthly for in-store rental. They boast a slightly smaller collection of DVDs, claiming to have about 55,000, while Netflix claims to have about 60,000. In addition to your online dvd rentals, Blockbuster Online also gives you free in-store exchanges at Blockbuster Video stores. Get started today, and take advantage of their limited time offer of $9.99 for your first month or a free trial . As I mentioned previously, the big advantage of Blockbuster is their “two coupons per month” for free in-store rentals (my coupons arrived in the email within seconds of signing up). That allows you to get exactly the movie to match your mood if it’s not among the three you happen to have out at the time.

If you watch fewer movies, you might want to choose a two at-a-time plan with limited in-store exchanges. Blockbuster pays shipping both ways, and movies generally arrive in one or two postal days. You will also get special in-store monthly offers. You can cancel your membership at any time. Thus, for the same price as NetFlix you'll receive in-store goodies from a BlockBuster Online subscription which NetFlix can't match. And remember 50% off your first month (Only $9.99) So join now to be eligible for a $25 Gift Card.
