Guys, Gals and my fellow Deal Engineers,
Here's some info for those of you who want to make the most of this deal.
I just completed my collection y'day night. All the 10 orders have been processed and charged. It took a little more than 1 month, 4 different accounts and about 25 calls to CH to get this done. When I started with this deal I listed out the DVD's that I felt were the best. I narrowed down the list by looking at AT, FW and DVDTALK seeing what most guys ordered and also doing a bit of research on the web on the most popular DVD's.
Here are the accounts I created.
Address1: Accnt 1, Accnt 2, Accnt3, Accnt4.
Address2: Accnt 5, Accnt6, Accnt 7
Address3: Accnt 8, Accnt 9.
Address4: Accnt 10.
On an average it took 10 days for the DVD's to be delivered from the time I ordered. Ofcourse, some orders had to be re-ordered and re-re-ordered. I generally call up within 3-4 days if I have not seen the charges appearing on the card. I dont give any PSN either. But just ensured I dont have > 2 accounts open for a single address at any time. I initailly called the sign up line but later called the 1800.262.2001 number. It does not make any difference provided you are
proactive and follow up.
The only flaw in this entire process was that Accnt 10 and Accnt 5 are duplicates. But I dont have any problem with handling duplicates. Can either return them back or exchange it for titles not available through CH. Duplicates are always better than nothing !
So a month and about $230 later, I have 30 (3 duplicates) DVD's that cost > $600.
Finally I present to you as I like to call "My Masterpiece" collection.
