- This is where I have problems with CHLDC. Membership obligations are
- fulfilled with purchases of $29.95 and up, and some of the expensive
- boxed sets ($79.95 and up) count as TWO purchases toward fulfillment
- of the agreement. Take, for example, the "Thin Man" set of five disks:
- if you were to buy them seperately at $30/each, the total would be $150
- ($14 more out of your pocket) PLUS you would have both fulfilled your
- obligation and gotten three bonus dividends. So, carefull in what you
- buy and how you buy it...it may work to CHLDC's advantage, not yours!
-
- I wish that CHLDC would revamp the method of fulfillment and attainment of
- divends based on every $25 or $30 spent. But then, they'd lose their edge.
