Blockbuster dropping late fees as of 1/1/05

[Localizer]

Um BB is taking the same approach as NetFlix is which is better for BB because they have stores located everywhere, making delivery time all that much more less...

I guess you've never tried their online service. My friend has the BB service, and it takes about a week to get a disc, for me I send it back and get my new discs in 2 days. If I get a broken disc, I get online and report it, and they ship a new one out that day usually, and I get it the next day. Awesome

shit. i just rememberd Collateral is out today.
SHITTTTT. i hope they still have a copy for me when i get there.

When you FIRSY signed up for an account you were required to give a debit card, credit card, or checking account number (checking acct rules vary by state) so yes they DO have an account on file for you.

f the card you gave them when first applied is expired, or cancelled you will receive a bill in the mail, if you dont pay the bill it will go to creditors/collection agencies.

I'm sure that they don't have a CC or any other bank (checking, savings, IRAs, stocks, bonds, etc) info on my account because I had none of that when I first set up my Blockbuster account a little over 10 years ago. I guess they will probably hit me up for some sort of current info when this policy goes into effect though. Then again, I don't think I've ever been more than 3 days late on a rental return so I shouldn't have anything to worry about.

I dunno about 10 years ago but at least 6 years ago its Blockbuster policy...they wont do it without.

Sweetness!

[DJZeke]

they might force you to get a new card maybe?

[remoh]

with all the movies on demand and payperview you really dont need to go to BB... they need to provide games on demand or something like pay for play (conecting the tv to the pc or game consolle) i know sega tried something like this years ago but it didn't fly

with all the movies on demand and payperview

My cable company doesn't usually have widescreen versions of movies available for MOD or PPV so I refuse to go that route.

moviepass & gamepass here

they pay for themselves in no time.




and btw, If a movie/game has been late for a day, just keep the fucker for another week or 2 days, they charge you like you rented it again, not by the day.
