Remember Getting Mail Order CDs from BMG Music Service ?

I was thinking about this the other day. I remember the fun of picking a bunch of free CD’s for the price of one, as an introductory gimmick they had!

Thereafter, needing to send back a response to future offerings or ones I’d want to buy, promptly, or I’d get the featured cd automatically sent. Inevitably, I’d forget to send back the response form in time and end up with a CD I didn’t order. Then I’d need to decide if I wanted to keep and then pay for it , or send it back.

It was fun, but you needed to stay on top of it!

I got mine from Columbia House. Same type of program.

Yes @BobH07 that’s right forgot about that one. I think the majority of my CD collection is from BMG.

I can’t remember what shipping and handling was, but after several years of accumulating CD’s, I had to quit my membership. I kept forgetting to send either the choice form back in time or the featured CD. It was fun for the initial free ones though! That’s how they wanted to suck people in. Lol!
