Several people have already posted the pros and cons of joining the
BMG and CBS CD clubs, so let me just add what other's haven't already said.
It is possible to convince the BMG folks to not force you to return a
letter every month. When I went away on business for several months, I
wrote them a letter asking them to suspend these mailings for the duration.
Instead, the mailings came, but with the "Do not send anything" box already
checked off.
It's been almost a year since I got back, and the forms still come
this way. In addition, my kid brother, true to his nature, simply kept
forgetting to send *anything* back. Soon, he was getting the same
treatment. (I don't suggest this latter approach. Even though it really
was because he's just forgetful, they could try to give you a hard time.)
