While the the merits have been debated quite a bit on other threads, for better or worse I usually redeem erewards for Blockbuster free rental certificates.

I dislike the local BB store because it takes them forever to check you out.(15 people in line,2 people @ the register and 4 people greeting you and trying to sell you on their Rewards card) However free is free so I figure I will continue to rent there as long as I have free movie rental coupons. Yesterday the girl tells me they are no longer accepting these free rental coupons. She didn't specify e-rewards specifically but said she'd give it to me this one last time. I asked if it was just this store or all BB stores and of course she said I could try another one. I am going to try one closer to my office but I was wondering if anyone has any additional information or has had this experience. If the acceptance of these certs is being phased out, this becomes a fairly useless reward. I'll just redeem for the HH points instead.

I just redeemed a free video from erewards today (a Latham NY Blockbuster). It sounds like your store is making its own rules!

I also just used one two days ago and had no problem. If the computers are accepting them, I'd guess they are going to be good until Dec. 21, when they expire. They do say "good at any PARTICIPATING Blockbuster" - so you might want to call the manager before standing in line again.

I've used my for a couple of months with no problem. Sounds like your store .

No problems using the Blockbuster e-rewards coupons in the Memphis area thus far.

I finally have $25 in E-rewards, and was planning on getting these. VolleyballFerd, are you saying all of the coupons have a December expiration date on them? According to the website, they are supposed to be valid for 6 months.

The coupons you now print from your PC and they are good for 1 rental each month beginning from the date you redeem.

For example you redeem today and the exp dates will read
#1 use between 11-4-03 and 12-3-03
#2 use between 12-4-03 and 01-3-04
etc.

They are also no longer good for game rentals.

I have 4 more of these things and I am determined to use them all.

You may want to check with erewards and BB corporate headquarter to see if it's an isolated incident.
