| Sorry to here you had a problem.
So far I have had no problems at all and I've been in the club for
two years.

647.2 | Do you need the receipts? | VINO::GSCOTT | Greg Scott | Tue Feb 24 1987 12:18 | 9 |
| I got a little letter saying I forgot the $1 to cover postage and
handling. Interestingly enough I actually had forgotten it.
The card also said I didn't enclose the cash register receipts; however
I didn't enclose the recipts on the other two CDs I got for free; and I
didn't return a receipt with the $1 either. Both of the other CDs
I got for free were the proper ones and were my first choice.

647.3 | Still waiting ... | CUPOLA::HAKKARAINEN | Astray into the future | Tue Feb 24 1987 12:54 | 2 |
| No problems yet. No cd either. I asked for Alison Moyet. After .0,
I've been worried that they'll send me Bill Moyers.

| Well, I got all seven free CDs I was entitled to, but I think only
2 of them were my first choice. That was disappointing.
Also, I hade a really hard time finding enough discs in their catalog
to give 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices for all seven.
Oh well, free is free.

| re .4: I didn't specify a 2nd or 3rd choice on one of my list. So I
guess that's why I got my 1st choice. I assume we will see you in
CDSWAP soon :-(

647.6 | Say what ??? | MOJAVE::PURMAL | Silly Con Valley Guy | Tue Feb 24 1987 19:16 | 3 |

647.7 | Choice of one | HPSCAD::FENNELL | Tim Fennell | Tue Feb 24 1987 20:48 | 5 |
| I didn't give a second or third choice either... I can't believe that they
couldn't fill orders from that little booklet. I would rather wait for
them to get more than get one I really didn't want.

647.8 | I think there are 2 references here | PARSEC::PESENTI | JP | Wed Feb 25 1987 07:30 | 17 |
| Re .6
> What CBS compact disc promotion ?
I believe that .0 is referring to the offer many stores have displayed on CBS
discs. "Buy n, get 1 free from CBS." I think n=5? Once you buy the required
number, you mail a coupon from the store with some proof of purchase to CBS
along with your selection, and they mail you the disc.
I further believe that .1 is referring to the CBS compact disc club, which
does not offer free discs unless you get another person to sign up. Their
offer is 3 for $1 with an optional 4th for $6.97, then 2 at the regular prices
($15-17), then 1 @ 50% for every full price one you buy. In addition, they
have sales (not part of the 2 at the regular price obligation) for <$11.

647.9 | Its too late now... | VINO::GSCOTT | Greg Scott | Wed Feb 25 1987 09:20 | 6 |
| re .6/.8: Yes its a deal that ended January 31st where you buy 5 CBS
CDs, send in the UPCs from the box plus $1 postage and handling,
indicate first, second, third selections by CBS catalog number, and get
your free CD by return mail.

| I had to submit my order twice. I enclosed a Xerox copy of a UPC code
from one of my purchases since I didn't want to cut up my liner notes.
I even explained it on the back of the copy. I guess they didn't turn
it over. I bought another disc and resubmitted it. I'm still waiting
for my freebie.
I think that their not accepting copies was pretty crummy (afterall,
they did require reciepts). This meant that you had to either cut
up the liner notes or make sure you bought the disks in the cardboard
outer box. Some of the discs (like one of the ones I bought) did
not come in a cardboard outer box. One cardboard boxed disc I did
buy that I didn't want to cut the box of: The Boss's live album,
should have counted as 3 separate purchases.

| Just received my (second) selection. It took just about the advertised
six weeks, maybe a bit less.
Received Earth, Wind, and Fire ``That's the way of the World.'' Sound
is very good. The title song is one I would take to a desert island.

| I just got mine within the time promised, and my first selection
('Til Tuesday's "Welcome Home"). To get a free disc for buying
other discs I wanted, I guess it was worth the extra hassle.
