>> FUCKING WITH BMG MUSIC SERVICE:
>>
>>By deelirious
>>
>> BMG is the best music service out there. Columbia tries to screw
>> you up the ass by making you commit to buying 5 or so CDs at the regular
>> fucking rediculous club price after you get your introductory selections.
>> BMG only makes you buy 1 CD at their "Club Price." Screwing BMG is easy if
>> you're willing to pay the S/H plus purchase the single selection.
>> Everything works out to about $38, but for 11 CDs, that's cheap. If you
>> really wanted free CDs, I suppose you could send an address correction
>> form. But then you wouldn't be able to use your mailbox for more CDs.
>> Here's my step by step guide to getting free CDs for a minimal price:
>>
>> 1. Go to BMG's web site (http://www.bmgmusicservice.com/) and sign up. Make
>> sure you don't give them any credit card info. Check the bill later option.
>>
>> 2. Your CDs will come in about 2 weeks. They'll send you seven CDs
>> initially. After you pay for your one selection, they'll send you the
>> remaining four.
>>
>> 3. After you pay for the shipping on your first 7 selections, go back to
>> their site, and sign yourself up again. You'll get 3 more free CDs if you
>> "sponsor" yourself. For your new enrollment, change your name. If you're
>> at a regular address, change the entire name. If you're at a PO BOX, don't
>> change the last name or the Post Office might send the CDs back.
>>
>> 4. Want to get more creative? Go to your post office and get a few PO BOXes
>> this way, you can have many orders pending at the same time with out them
>> getting suspicious. Of course, the $38 cost for each enrollment ($16 for
>> the CD and about $22 total for all the shipping) will be a limiting factor
>> for many people. But think: CDs these days cost $16 or so EACH! So 12 CDs
>> would cost $192. This way you can get 12 CDs for about $38. It's a no
>> brainer. And you'll get 3 more CDs @ the $2.30 shipping charge when you
>> sign yourself up again!
>>
>> -Right now, I'm in the process of screwing Columbia House Video Club. I'll
