Gamefly 90 day free trial

The guy on CAG who got is account canceled has a brother with a GameFly account at the same address. This is probably what got his account axed.

Damn, I got freaked out. Received an email from gamefly.com, I was sure this was gonna be a cancellation email. But it was just an email confirming me that I've unsubscribed their newsletter, special offers, etc. Phew! :lol

I jumped on this literally seconds before the code was axed. Thanks a lot Wario, I appreciate it.

Canceled my account after five minutes. Stating that the code had been expired and could not be redemed. This was about 10 minutes after you original posted the thread Wario. So all is not well... it shall burn in hell.

Can you copy and paste the exact quote? My account is still kicking, and no complaints thus far on CAG (beside the one who got his account deleted, possibily from an account duplication)

Mine is also working perfectly, and it was longer than 10 minutes after your post before I applied.

I hope this is 90 days not 10, just got this email from them (they were trying to verify my address for some reason they couldn't find it even tho I found it on the first try). So I just replied with it but pointed out I signed up for 90 day free trial, hope they do'nt change it

I was attempting to verify your delivery address with USPS in order to obtain the zip+4 code for your location, which we require for delivery, but I wasn't able to find a match. Is there another way your address can be spelled or formatted which would make it come up in a http://www.usps.com/zip4/ search? Or, do you know or can you find out from your Post Office what the zip+4 code for your location is? Once we get this information, I'll make sure you get your full 10-day FREE TRIAL.


Thank you and happy gaming!

they put my account on hold because the other one I had a trail on it then they only allow a trail per household. I went to cancel the new one they then asked me where I got the code from cause they said that thousands of people signed up using this one code and alot of accounts will be canceled.
I told them I got it from gamepro.com.



Hmm?


I'm gonna check my subscription info daily to make sure they don't try to fuck me over

Great service regardless of price. Games come fast as sh!t too.

DaCoco, where do you live and how fast do you get the games? Gamefly is located in Los Angeles, right?
 
fellas, 1 day in los angeles. i live in LA too and have used gamefly. its basically a 2 day turn around. goes like this:

Monday: you send the game out.
Tuesday: They get the game, send your next choice back
Wednesday: you get the new game

at least thats generally how it worked for me. there were a couple times where it took 1 extra day for whatever reason (post offices fault probably), but its still fast
 

Wario64

My friend lives in San Jose and claimed that it took him 5 days to get a game when he had Gamefly. Eh...
 
wtf? god damn dude the service is worthless if it takes 5 days to get it... then again, their offices are located about 15-25 minutes from me so who knows
 
I did try their service late last year for one month (after 10 day free-trial). I do like their selection of games, and the premise of a gaming Netflix seemed to rock.

Unfortunately it would take them about a week (A WEEK!?!!) to receive any game i returned to them. If you look at the costs associated w/ how many games i'd be getting on their service per month, it turned out to be a better value to cancel.

With Netflix i send a movie out, they get it the next day, and i have the next movie in my queue 2 days from when the original was sent out. Not bad. As soon as Gamefly opens more distribution centers like Netflix has, i'm on it supa fast.

PS i reside in Chicago.

I got one of my games today, yet the other game they shipped didn't come in. Weird. It took 2 days to get my first game though
 
Hey guys I just got this in my e-mail. Looks like the trials has cut from 90 to 30 days because we weren't supposed to use it.

Dear Gamer,

Recently you signed up with GameFly using a promo code that was posted publicly without legal permission, thus voiding your 90-Day Free Trial offer.

However, in good faith and due to your interest in GameFly’s service, we have automatically enrolled you into a premium 30-day Free Trial, which is three times the length of our standard Free Trial. We hope this will satisfy your needs and expectations.

If you feel there has been a mistake, please contact Customer Support at [email protected] or call 1-888-986-6400, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT.

Thank you again for joining GameFly!

The GameFly Team

Just because it seems like this might draw some efficianados on the subject.

Anyone know if a similar system, in any way, exists in Canada? I'm going to be heading to University without transportation, and won't be able to rent games, and a system such as Gamefly sounds like a solid way in which to rent a few titles during a slow month or something. Anyone know?

Yeah, I just saw that email. I'm not complaining, 30 days is better tha nothing. I thought they would just give us the 10 days instead. Oh well. Still not a bad deal!

Me too, 30 days is better than 10. Although the games I have out now are Ribbit King and Ratchet & Clank 2. I'm going to return them the day I get them to make sure I get the games I really want (Spiderman 2and Psi-Ops - which is on wait) for as long as possible.

Eh.

If the code works for new people now, I feel like calling them up and arguing that I got it legitmately. I just need to know the exact details on the distribution of the code before I fabricate a story though :p
 
I also got the email about my trial being switched to 30 days from 90. I signed up within 10 minutes of the promo code being posted here.

I live in Pasadena, about 10 minutes from LA. According to Gamefly Driv3r and RSC2 (yay) were shipped Tuesday. Today's mail just arrived and no games (well one I bought on eBay, but that dosent count) :( Hopefully they'll show up tomorrow.

Hah, just signed up two minutes ago:

Subscription Plan: Free Trial
2 games out at a time
Free for 90 days, $21.95/month thereafter

I get 90 days free. :D

This promo code fiasco boggles my mind. Do they really think they can give use an universal code and expect people to not share the code around freely?
