Not at all, at least if I'm interpreting Tina's message right.  You are
allowed one membership per person per year.  They tell you that.  It
sounds like one person is joining, quitting, and then another person
joins.  My husband and I do that with 4-5 different CD clubs:  Columbia
House (when they run the "no commitment" promos, which isn't often), BMG,
BMG Classical, Sound&Spirit (BMG's Christian music club), and CDHQ
(Columbia House's "discount" club).  After we quit we always get messages
asking us to come back under the same terms.  We pay about $3.50 per CD
(after you figure in the cost of buying 1 at full price and all s/h
charges).  Teh only problem is, we are running out of CDs that we want
from their clubs!
