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? ) -- betsys@shore.net http://www.shore.net/~betsys betsys@cs.umb.edu http://www.cs.umb.edu/~betsys betsys@well.com 73053.2210@compuserve.com
