blockbuster’s changes

I got an email tonight, as all Blockbuster online customers probably did, informing me that my plan will be changing when the next billing cycle begins.

Currently, we get an unlimited amount of movies per month delivered 2 at a time through the mail with unlimited free exchanges in the store each month. Also, we get a coupon for a free game or movie rental each month.

The new plan for the same price will still send an unlimited amount of movies through the mail 2 at a time, but we can only exchange 3 per month for movies in the store. Additional movie rentals in the store will be $1.99 each. The email doesn’t say anything about the coupon we receive each month, so I’m not sure if that will continue or not.

Did you get this email? Have you reviewed the new plans? Are you staying with the comparable plan or switching to a new one?

Looks like Blockbuster may have been losing money on rentals with all the free exchanges of movie mailers for movies in the store.

  1. Have you considered NetFlix? We eventually switched to them and are pretty happy.

  2. I got the same email!
    I was a little aggravated when I read it too… I don’t even know how many exchanges we make but they are kicking themselves because so many people have stayed with BBuster because of the exchange policy. I may look into another vendor… and Amanda is using redbox almost exclusively now.
