What some people fail to realize is that when you take advantage of their
"free" cd's or other similar offer, there is small print that specifies
that you must by X number of CD's within Y number of years.  If you do not
do this, at the end of Y years they simply charge you an amount equal to
the X number of cd's. 

These companys are out to make money, and make money they do.  However, if
you take advantage of their offers and keep up with the mailings and
cancel your membership as soon as you fulfill the requirements, you end up
getting cd's at less than standard costs when you look at the big picture.
I've been a repeat member of many cd clubs, and have had relatively few
problems.
