I joined Columbia House a few years back and when I calculated the cost of
the free CD's, the required-to-buy-at-full-price CD's, PLUS all that
shipping and handling, it came out to about $11.25 per CD. Better than in a
store but I think they still made a profit (and, of course, I bought one or
two at full price, and quit the club before using all the discount
coupons, so they did alright by me.)

IMHO the person who quits and rejoins is not cheating as long as they use
their real name. It's up to the company to decide whether they wish to
continue to do business with you (you're not signing up the dog or the
goldfish, right? )
