Cannot believe LoveFilm is still going.

seems a lot of hassle just for a fiver or is it just me

I'm in chichi, I need some new material...



:laughing:

Thanks Chanchi! This is great, I love films!

Hot, thanks Chanch! Another easy Amazon credit.

I'm in chichi, I need some new material...



:laughing:

seems a lot of hassle just for a fiver or is it just me

Thanks Chanchi! This is great, I love films!

2 months of lovefilm + 5 quid amazon credit for free - sounds like a no brainer - scorching deal as always, thanks chanchi.

No brianer - thanks alot chanchi
Big bang season 9 on rental pre-order :smiley:
£5 credit towards a new pre-release game

very nice as always chanchi thank you so much :smiley:

Heat added OP. Im in :sunglasses:


Now the waiting stage begins

Cannot believe LoveFilm is still going.

should i cancel the membership straightaway after sign up?

Place holder comment...

Great deal, Chanchi. :smile:

thanks

ok,then give your credit card details to a company then cancel subscription then hope they do not take any more money out of your account as i say seems like a lot of hassle just for a fiver,but if your ok with that then go ahead

So hassle AND a few trips to the post box?

How is a few clicks of a button a lot of hassle??

A lot of hassle? 2 minutes work for £5.
Worrying that amazon may take money out of you account? Cos dodgy amazon always do that
and again you're ignoring the 6 blu-ray rentals

It took you more time writing this comment than it would have done claiming this offer.

You don't have to do it :laughing: it's for people that wish to have Lovefilm by post and they can make £5 at the same time.

also note the £10 promotional credit shall be different from gift card credits though just to make it clear, and the promotion credit can be used on items sold by amazon but not 3rd party. I got £10 promotion credit awarded by their staffs due to some delivery errors they made and the last time i checked I cannot use the credits on 3rd party items. Though I've just signed up for it I'm thinking maybe I shall leave the membership as I've still got quite large amount of amazon giftcard credits to spend...

Thanks OP for this

Thanks chanchi32

Hi Chanchi, great deal!
Just to clarify, to receive the 6 rentals you need to change the plan before the billing date from 4 discs per month to 2 discs per month?
Am I correct?

hi ,
do i actually have to rent film or can i just sign up, not use it and still get the amazon credit ?

when should I cancel online? after 1st October ?

thanks!

signed up and changed it to 2 rentals a month but Im confused, do I still get 4 rentals a month for month 1 and then 2 rentals for the 2nd month?

Thank chanchi i realised that hence why i deleted the comment dont want to mislead people now

I love movies, heat added and don't forget the popcorn :wink:

Cheers op; idiot proof steps! :smile:

Is this like only actual physical DVDs or can I watch online also?

BluRay rental is so 2012!!! I **** 4k disc rental

I used to love love film but then they hardly ever got any new releases. think they don't have the rights to a lot of the major companies that sky or whoever have exclusives with

​they do packages that include both though... I think ?

Just signed up. Do you get any email confirmation? All I received was when I changedo from the £7.99 plan to the £4.99 one.

Fab thanks - all done and cancellation date logged in calendar!

How is Lovefilm still in business? :o. Good deal.

Thanks OP, free £5 to use at Amazon result :smiley:

Thanks, cant say no to some more free Amazon credit. Just one question tho, what's Lovefilm? :smiley:

Thanks Chanchi. :smiley: Need a little extra in the account.

ill have the free 5£ only use kodi nowadays

Thanks Chanchi and johnwillowfc - thats sorted!!

"via the deal link" ... nah, they're getting too greedy now, I'll find my own way there thanks.

Heh it be like going back in time

Cheers, took less then a minute to sign up. Thanks mate

Lovefilm still exists?? Thought Amazon killed it used to be great

I used it afew years ago when they had games included but they stopped doing that ! good overall service but have to agree i do all my viewing online now. heat added and the free amazon credit might seduce me into getting it again for the free month if i'm eligible.

If you don't sign up to love film, do you get the credit straight away?

On it like a pigeon on a chip.

Thank you chanchi, heat ( somewhat late ) :smiley:

Plenty of ways :confused:

might be a bit thick but where are the settings???? I'm just on Amazon screen and can't see no love film settings??

Thanks :smiley:

***Heads Up***
A lot of people that use LOVEFiLM will be in this situation. Be careful.

If you have in the past swapped to watching only catchup services via BBC iPlayer, avoiding 'live TV' via BBC iPlayer (simultaneously broadcast on terrestial TV) and told TV licencing that you don't require a TV licence because of this, you need to act ***now***.

You now need to notify them again that would will be blocking the bbc.co.uk/iplayer domain via your home router (best to do this too, to prove this if they turn up at your door) and removing all BBC iPlayer Apps from iOS/Android devices (as they don't use the domain bbc.co.uk/iplayer) and be aware, Apps have a lot more background privacy sniffing about the Wifi network / Device ID / Mobile network you are watching iPlayer from, with the latest iPlayer update.

You need to do this with immediate effect to avoid been prosecuted for not having a TV licence. These new rules come into effect 1st September 2016.

Write to TV licencing at:

TV Licensing
Darlington
DL98 1TL

I recommend writing, because using the online contact form, will give possible indication of the ISP/IP address of your router, which will could lead to checks to see if that IP has every been used to stream catchup/live iPlayer streams after 01/09/2016.

If you write and state you have taken measures such a blocking bbc domains (even talk to your ISP about offering this service too), you will not have to pay the yearly £145.

The problem with this legislation, this is its all or nothing, I'd happily pay a netflix type prices £5.99 a month, to watch the little iPlayer content I have done, on the go, but I don't want to go back to having a TV in my house, because its such a time waster and paying the full licence, means that will likely end up happening at some point, and that's what I want to resist. As soon as you get rid of the TV in your house, you wonder how in the past you ever found the time to sit down and watch it.

So its ended up at 'nothing'. We need a netflix type price and subscription for just iPlayer, treat us as Adults, we'll happily pay it, force the licence fee - We won't.

Please 'like' so more people are aware of 1st Sept 2016 Deadline.

​cheers....eventually sorted it....a lot of work but getting paid to watch 6 blu rays is OK in the end.

I've done as stated in post but my account doesn't state that it's on a trial is this correct?

This deal is amazong!

huh?

"At the end of your free trial, you authorise us to charge your card or another available card on file £8.99."

So does that mean they can still charge £8.99 even if the plan is changed to a £4.99 one?

Brilliant deal, nice one Chanchi!!! HOT. Put Jungle Book as high priority for the missus.

Plan changes are in the terms of the offer - item 4

4. There are currently three LOVEFiLM subscription plans available. All new subscriptions default to"4 DVDs and Blu-ray rentals per month (1 disc at a time)”. Customers can request a plan change to one of the other subscription plans available at https://www.amazon.co.uk/lovefilm/account/changeplan/ after sign up. Plan changes will take effect on customer’s next scheduled billing date.

thanks enjoy Jungle Book

I'd rather see the return of giftcard deal, i.e. 30 quid giftcard with another 5 giftcard code.

In fairness I have no doubts anyway when its a Chanchi deal :smiley: did not read the T&Cs as I am satisfied with your instructions in the OP. Thanks again bud.

thnx

Deleted my last comment as do not want to mislead anyone. Should have looked at T&C's.

Seriously great deal, 6 X Blu-Ray (INC 3D) + £10 Amazon credit for £4.99 is a winner! Now to choose films to rent that I have not got with the free TalkTalk rentals a little while back or Sky Cinema!

Subscribed. Want to see Jungle Book. Thanks!

I take it they ditched the unlimited disc amount I remember people who used to pay around £10 for that and always got tv box sets.

4 discs for £9 is pointless why would any one pay that might as well just download them (if you have poor internet with buffering issues downloading it fully would stop this)

Sorry never done this before, so excuse a noob question - but how does it work - for instance Homeland season 5 is 4 discs - does that mean if I took that, then that's my month's quota done effectively?

Does anyone know if the £10 voucher could be used in the purchase of an Amazon Prime membership?

A lot of hassle to get my old bluray player off the dusty shelf and plug it in.

​gtfo HUKD

Nice one, and thanks for the step-by-step guide :smiley:

​If you read the T and C's I don't think that's the case, I think you need to start paying by the end of it. Could be wrong but I'm sure I read that.

That's the thing - 30 day free trial - pay 4.99 for a month - wait for the voucher to come - then cancel - get 10 quid in total - pay 4.99 for the month - so a total gain of 5.01.

...and judging by the number of likes you got, you might not be making quite the razor sharp retort you think you are.

Does it make a difference if you have an Amazon Prime account?

Thanks - great deal!

Orders, thanks!!

​Read it wrong I tho aught you said you didn't need to pay at all :smile: May as well use your rentals up though.

Indeed :smiley: why let it go when you are paying anyways

As an ex Lovefilm customer, once you cancel be prepared for a barrage of phone calls and emails offering you deals to stay. I actually had to tell them the last time they phoned that if they rang me again, I would report them to the Police for harassment.

Thanks a lot - so effectively 1 season which has 4 discs would mean I would have used the entire month's limit?

Netflix ?

Stopped game rentals and Amazon bought them out

Nice deal, was going to buy Captain America Civil War on BR anyway so might as well just rent it now.

Also want to see Midnight Special and Sicario so this works out well.

Does a Lovefilm trial include a Prime Video trial?

Thanks mucho! I missed about 6 movies i wanted to see at the this year the cinema (including Jungle Book, Deadpool, Capt America, Sup vs Batman, Mockingjay) which aren't streaming yet so this is very timely! I was thinking about buying them on blu-ray so this just saved me alottadosha! Plus I get the novelty of using one of those red manual posting places at the end of our road :smile:

No brainer! Signed up, and heat added :smiley:

thanks! I've broken my foot and this is a godsend! happy viewing everyone

And you can get someone else to walk to the postbox. Winner all round! :laughing:

Do i need to start my membership?

great deal thanks op

The changes they implemented in February made me end my LoveFilm sub. They were going to charge me more for less or a lot more to get something that was more than I needed as they not only changed their prices, they got rid of the tier I was on. They changed the way they charged you a year or so before so that the Instant Video wasn't a free bonus add-on but the bit you were paying for, and the disc rental was the heavily discounted bit. Given I subbed for the discs and wasn't that bothered about the streaming I'm really annoyed. So I quit just before the changes came into effect.
I went from being a very happy customer to one that disliked them immensely just because of that, sadly.

Where can you get 4k rentals?

RENO 911! Check it out if you get this deal. I stumbled on it by accident and love it - well the first 2 series, on the third and the writing has gone downhill a bit.

Agree with the above comments
astonished this is still going
assumed this was near the end
http://www.hotukdeals.com/misc/lovefilm-post-raise-charges-2310176

I never seemed to get titles at top of my list previously with lovefilm ..but for the sake of a fiver it's a no brainer .

ah just signed up 2 days ago as well!

Well, signed up in the hopes that we can work through the thre seasons of Banshee in that time... (as been wanting to watch after some recommendations, but didn't want to illegally stream and also didn't want to pay high legal streaming prices!) A fiver well spent if I manage it...

If not, a fiver made, regardless.

Thanks for the heads up.

will they notice if i do it on like 10 of my own amazon accounts?

Lol let me know

Done it on like 5 with the gmail trick

a shame love film don't do games anymore, anywhere do good ps4 rentals these days ??

Started ripping my Blu-ray collection to NAS recently but noticed Season 4 Disc 3 of my Breaking Bad boxset was faulty and wouldn't allow me to rip episode 11! This is perfect workaround, borrow the required disc and copy the episode I am missing, and make £5 Amazon credit :smiley: thanks!

Will it work?

Hmmm this morning I set it up but just had a look at LoveFilm rentals and nothing is there! Frustrating. Don't understand that.

Thanks OP, will try this :smiley:

What are the grounds for legality on ripping a dvd?

Don't really know what happened. Had to re-verify? I changed the password and had no LoveFilm but when I re-verified it was back?

Don't think it's available in the UK at the moment. I'd be interested in it if it was though.

HAMMERED this around 8 years ago when the unlimited package with 3 discs at a time was £14 and included games. So many films were watched.

Now, I'd still use it primarily for 3D BR's. May have another pop.

I think I'll give this a go, since you end up a fiver up seems absolutely no reason not to. I used to subscribe to LoveFilm for a number of years in their early days (long before they joined Amazon). At the time it was an absolute boon as this was long before the days of Netflix or even Youtube. Nowadays I must say I prefer the convenience of streaming and rarely watch Blurays or DVDs, but still willing to give them a go.

I have recently got a 4K TV and would like to rent some mastered in 4K blurays if they stock any? I know they aren't real 4K material, but are said to look a bit nicer than regular blurays thanks to a higher bitrate...

​it's illegal...

Cheers I signed up, selected Eddie the Eagle, Deadpool, Charlie Brown and another I forget. If you've had a sub before, watch out as it remembers your old selections which you probably don't want

So when would j have to cancel my subscription so I don't get charged for a second month?

Maybe someone can help me out.

About 5 years ago I noticed on my bank statement a deduction from Love Film for about £25. I only received quarterly statements so didnt pick it up. In total 6 payments were taken. No rentals ever made

When I queried it, they refused to refund me but said I I could have 6 months LoveFilm membership for 'Free'!

Anyway - we had 3 back to back sudden bereavements in the family, so everything put on hold just coming to terms with these events, and I'll be honest, I totally forgot about it...until I saw his thread.

I know it was 5 years ago, but is there anyway I can get my £150 back?

That reminds me, I have a lovefilm dvd I should have sent back 8 years ago !! think I might miss this offer :wink:

don't do it then and move onto another deal.....

​Oh and I didn't have to sign up it prompted me to enter my Amazon details.

Signed up, ta :smiley:

Great deal. Thank you for posting!

very good deal. I've been with them for years with an old tariff you can't get any more... 2 discs a month for £4.09. used to be £3.99 but then the VAT went up

I still use it - a great way to watch the sorts of shows that are exclusive to Sky without having to give the Murdochs your money - and a lot cheaper than paying to stream per-episode for something like Game Of Thrones.

If its a credit card yes, if its a debit card sadly no

No mention about this at all on the site so it must be for customers who have been with them before the changes took place.

Don't remember using them but try and change plan and see if the unlimited option is there.

Cheers :smiley:

Tried that it doesn't appear max is 4 disc a month so it must be for people who have been on it a while only.

Hot, thank you

It takes less than 2 minutes to sign up, and you get 6 Blu Rays, I dunno man seems pretty worth while to me.

can't use love film in NI as no regular post boxes here
half of them painted green rest covered in Union jack

I added 11 blu-rays to my rental list yesterday, four as high priority and still nothing has happened,

can i do this without getting the films?

What exactly are you expecting to happen? It's a bank holiday weekend, I doubt they have anyone in the office to process the lists, especially if the rumours of amazon trying to wind it down are true, mind UHD Blurays could give it s new lease of life if they stock them....

Imagine you would just not bother adding anything to your list.

I've had books from Amazon Prime delivered both this past Sunday and bank holiday Monday.

It shouldn't be some 9-5 job sending out the films.

Your talking rubbish lol the post boxs in northern ireland are painted red unless you go over the border in to the south of ireland then their painted green because their not royal mail

Also there are no union jack / greenpainted post boxs unless someones graffited over them, i used to be with love film so i know there's no issue and ive just signed up again.

If there is a union jack painted post box you may be in a Protestant area this will normally be made clear by the fact theirs union jack flags everywhere and the kirb stones are painted in flag colours, likewise if you find a green post box you may have found yourself in a catholic area this is where you will normally only see the tricolor used in northern ireland as goverment buildings don't fly it.

Well it is a weekday 9-5 thing ! No processing at weekends (or bank holidays.)

1 - An actual BD-ROM is much higher quality than any streaming service.
2 - While they may be a bit sketchy on new releases, their back catalogue is also vastly superior to any streaming service. If you want classics or foreign films, it's Lovefilm or the more expensive Cinema Paradiso.
3 - Not everyone has a broadband connection that allows decent-quality streaming (admittedly not an issue for me)
4 - £2 a pop is cheaper than many streaming services. I've been on the 3 for £6 deal for years on end and see no reason to cancel.

before amazon prime made their own video streaming service lovefilm used to allow you to rent or stream the video as part of their service of course now you can only rent the discs where it is benefical to some i could do alot more watching if i could stream as the post around here can be quite slow

do i have to wait to 1st october to cancel or can i just cancel straight away with no films and receive the 10pound credit?

Why not just read the OP's very clear instructions?

​I have but I don't care about the films just looking to get the £10 credit and wondering if I can without paying the £5

Screw you LoveFilm. Where's my 5 disc collection. :disappointed:

Straightforward deal. I added half a dozen titles last night and just had confirmation that the first disc has been sent out. Heat added.

Just get Prime then.

What's the dispatch for really new films then? Still waiting on Jungle Book on Blu-Ray. I gather it's new.

No you can't, is the simple answer ..... lol.

You HAVE TO pay the required £5 minimum first!, so ..... :-(

Hehehehe.

Good deal. I signed up last night at about 20 seconds before midnight so I just got in on it. Amazes me how many people are just luking on here for someone to put a deal on here so they can **** it off...if a deal doesn't suit you, just move on to one that does, no need to get all negative.

Jungle Book dispatched today.

Mine arrived today :smiley:

Anyone got their £10 credit yet??

Not received money yet :disappointed:

Why would you, the terms and post clearly state 1 October.

Yeah just got an email saying the £10 credit will be added once the trial ends on 1st October and £5 is charged for the sub. After that, you cancel people :wink:

Just got an email from Amazon

I got MI 5 instead. Hopefully everyone hasn't got all the Jungle Books

​Misread it

Im a bit confused over when the 4 disc trial ends and the 2 disc month begins? Is there any 'monthly anniversary' date I can find in my lovefilm settings? I've probably been signed up for about 4 weeks now so I'm thinking my trial must be approaching expiry.

Also, what would happen if I rented Narcos during the 4 disc trial (Narcos is 3 discs) but then kept hold of the discs until after the trial has expired? I would then go in to month 2 where Im only permitted 2 discs. Would keeping hold of the 3 discs during month 2 take up my 2 disc allowance? Or do I still get 2 new rentals for month 2?

The way these rentals work are annoyingly unclear on this website. I thought trials were supposed to be an incentive to sign up permanently but theres no chance I could do so when its so hard to work out what their rules are.

Paid £4.99. Not seen an Amazon voucher yet. Anyone had one?

Edit: Just seen credit applied 1st Oct! Thanks!

As soon as they've taken the first payment, remember to cancel your subscription. Otherwise, at the end of October, they will take another payment.

I did not recieve the £10 voucher yet and i paid aswell

payment went out yesterday. Original post said to cancel 1st Oct. Should I cancel now instead?

Where did you notice the credit?

Point 3 on this post:

October you will get the £10 Amazon credit applied to you're account - valid for a year on products sold by Amazon

Hi all

Appreciate its early but I had a reminder set to check.

I have not had the tenner voucher from Amazon yet has anyone else?

Thanks

Had you considered just reading the last few posts perhaps?

Was not showing apologies

Anyway voucher still not showing for me

Nor me neither. Appreciate its early to check as only just 1st October however they have debited the first installment from my card.

Same sure it will sort itself

Hope it sorts itself out soon because I'm waiting to purchase the Sony Playstation headset before it goes back up in price.

No credit here yet - should be added today - will contact support if not received by tomorrow.

same here, no credit received as of yet

i contacted them and manually applied the £10 credit

They did reference it is still the 1st so still hoping that another automated £10 will hit the account soon

Which department did you use? I tried just now (I didn't get it either) and they just said I had to wait to receive an email from lovefilm within 24 hours and that they had no chat facility to transfer me to them directly.

Like a lot of cases with chat, seems it depends very much on who you get and probably their mood at the time of day....

- Help
- Need more help
- contact us
- Prime and more - lovefilmbypost and request an immediate callback

I just stated the terms and conditions confirmed 1st October and couldn't be doing with chasing up again

Tried this guy on phone told to me wait

Just added something random to my basket and gone to checkout - turns out credit is there. Not had an email yet to confirm it either.

Mine too. Check here ->https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html?docId=1000706783

Just Got this email

Just had the email too.

yes just got the email and got the £10 credit on top of the £10 credit from customer service earlier :smiley:

Email arrived nine minutes ago. Thanks again, OP!

Haha, cheeky though of all people you should get it seeing as you made the original post :smiley:

Thanks been applied now here

I have just received my email too

Got the email, but no sign of the credit on my account yet... added an item, went to basket clicked through to confirm, but nothing...

Just got my email

Still nothing for me......Anyone else not received theirs?

Received my e-mail and £10 credit now.

Note that it appears at checkout as "Promotion Applied" (it's not a gift certificate).

Got email but no credit :disappointed:

It doesnt show on your account until you add something to your basket where it will then show the discount :smiley:

You have to spend it on something sold by Amazon themselves. You cannot use it on 3 party or fullfilled by Amazon.

Thanks.

Credit applied, lovefilm cancelled & disks being returned next week :smiley:

hello stranger

On a diff note completly yeah i got my £10 promotional credit, there's no mention that i can find of when i have to use it by, would be alot handier if i had a prime membership rather than being forced to find another item to get free postage rather than paying £4.75 postage, it is a bit of a shame as only 3-4 days ago i spent £40 on products direct from amazon lol

​I spoke with Customer services earlier, said promotional credit expires 2020!

Yep, I was aware of that... but it seems it doesn't apply to lightning deals either. If I add a non-lightning deal I see the discount.

You didnt mention anything in your earlier post about that but thanks for the heads up :smiley:

Even if it is lightning deal, it still needs to be Sold by Amazon.
This lightning item accepts the promotional credit
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00645G5SQ

Not so long ago all Lightning Deals were sold by Amazon - now there's a pretty high proportion of Chinese junk sold by Marketplace sellers, merely 'Fulfilled by Amazon'. I've given up even looking at Lightning Deals - there's so rarely anything worth having.

Received my £10 credit yesterday. Cancelled the lovefilm membership. Thanks OP

does your credit show up in gift card balance? Mine doesnt show up there but does appear when I take something to checkout it subtracts £10. Does it show up anywhere else? I ask as I'll forget about having it, meaning if amazon ever delete it, I'll have probably forgotten about it

You can check balances here
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html?docId=1000706783

Did anybody actually get the £10 promo credit? They never applied it to my account nor sent a gift code. That's me boycotting Amazon then.
