subject: The Dvd Rental Free Trial 5 Commandments [print this page] The DVD rental free trial is now a well-known marketing gimmick and well established as a way to watch some films for free without too much hassle.
As well-known as the offers are, though, so are the stories of them coming to back to bite unsuspecting free trialists.
With these dvd rental 10 commandments, though, you'll never miss out on the best free trials again.
First up, thou shalt clear thy schedule.
There's no point trying to test a dvd rental service when you haven't got any time to watch them so choose a time to start a dvd rental service when you've got free time.
Second, you need to compare the dvd rental services available to you. A DVD rental comparison site will be able to tell you what the longest ones that are available are.
There are also sometimes special promotions worth keeping your eye out for which are distributed for the family and friends of current DVD rental users who pay for the service already.
Third, you should look for dvd rental free trials from a service that you'll actually enjoy using.
Look for user reviews and professionally written reviews of the dvd rental service that you're thinking of using to check that the turnaround of the films is good and customer service as good as possible.
Some services also have good extras which you'll be able to take advantage of during your dvd rental free trial.
For example, some sites have downloads of celebrity interviews from film stars, directors and even screenwriters and some offer online downloads or streaming of films on their websites.
Four, check that the discs you want are available. In practice, most dvd rental companies have most of the discs available in the UK but some have disputes with studios that mean that they can't get certain discs so it's worth checking before you sign up.
And in last place: five, thou shalt know how to leave the service at the end of the free trial.
If you choose to leave the service it will sometimes be necessary to ring up to cancel so make sure that you've posted all your discs as soon as possible close to the end of the trial.
Be aware, some offices are only open in office hours on the weekdays so make sure that you make a note to sort it out on the last weekday before the end of the free trial.
