When a company continues to decieve the public with "smoke & mirrors"...
 

Another "GLOWING" review of Blockbuster's practices...(not my review...just something to think about...)

Just i thought Blockbuster’s Total Access is on to something with the upcoming video game rentals, apparent something is going away, and if you are a Total Access subscriber, i guarantee you wouldn’t be pleased. I got this email from Blockbuster today with an exciting header that reads “No More Due Dates for free in-store exchanges”! That’s a shocker! Now I can keep my Total Access’s in-store redeems for as long as I want? Heck yeah but Wrong! The Blue Envelop online rental is up to no good: Yes, there will be no time frame for in-store exchange but it will count as the regular rented item, in other words, the upcoming Total Access will entitle you to access both in-store and online movies, but not longer free. Shame on them to continue promoting “Free” In-store exchange. Read the new Total Access features after the cut.

Coming soon, there will be no more due dates for your free in-store movie exchanges!
# In other words, as long as you are an active BLOCKBUSTER Total Access subscriber, you can keep your free in-store exchanges as long as you like.
# In order to eliminate due dates, the free in-store exchange from participating BLOCKBUSTER® stores will now count towards the number of DVDs you may have out under your BLOCKBUSTER Total Access plan. Once you’ve returned your in-store exchange, we’ll then ship you the next available movie in your queue.
# Your free in-store exchanges will now show up on your Queue page and in your Rental History, making it easy to keep track of the movies you’ve rented.


Just some more "SMOKE & MIRRORS" from this bullshit company.

(I "Cut & Pasted" this...so excuse me if it doesn't show up properly.)

Sorry, I really don't see anything wrong with them doing that. They are a company in the business to make money. They went way overboard trying to keep up with net flix. This is the only logical step to keep the process flowing.

I am a franchise store... We will not honor that practice at all. If they are late... You pay the late fee. Online is a total waste of time to us. We get very little from BBI when we do those exchanges. So just hope you have a corporate store near you and be happy, LOL.

You are a "Franchise Store"...you will be closing sooner than others...

wow..i cant wait until the turn around happens and kaw is outside kicking himself in his own ass...

Kaw must work at circuit city :)

Kaw must work for hollywood/movie gallery.

He's right though. 2 major franchises in Florida already closed down.

while I cant stand Kawliga, it doesnt change the fact that our outlook doesnt look good. I hope we pull it out, because I have a family to support and the job market here blows

I like our employee discounts. 20% is kickass.

i think we will and some stores are profiting too much to close..

i don't see what's wrong with this at all. it's a smart plan and it's fair to the stores.

if customers can't receive the next movie on their queue until they bring back in-store exchanged rentals, then all they have to do is limit how many movies they exchange. it's simple. if you have 3 out at a time, then only use 2 for exchanges, receive the third in the mail while you watch the 2 exchanges and continue this process in a way where you have at least one in-store exchange available every time you come into the store.

easy done.
