Signed up. Was pretty much a painless process.

[The Sovereign]

Easy peasy - why not?

[bonehica]

Exactly, that was as painless as it gets.

[TwinCitiesBluFan]

Free to join? Well hell, I'm in.

[Telemachus]

Oh it's like a Blockbuster card, those memberberries so so juicy!

Also will the movies I buy through this club have 3% less disc scratches? Serious question.

They're saving that "perk" for the eventual paid subscription, sad to say

[hallowdrew]

Rayjg would be proud of these jokes.

Do other boutique labels offer cash back or is it just Shout!?

Both Arrow, and Criterion have reward points that accumulate through purchases. With Arrow you get 10 points for every $1 spent. They also have a referral program that's separate where you get $5 for each person that makes a purchase with your referral code. With Criterion you get a $50 certificate when you spend $500.

[Kenneth M]

So on the Criterion one... Would one have to check out every time their cart has hit the $500 mark to reset it, or would you be awarded multiple certs from one large (i.e. $1000+) checkout?

Vinegar Syndrome has a nice program where you can earn points to redeem on discounts or exclusive items.

[GenPion]

Joined. Why not? Free and easy. I wouldn't mind rewards and cash back.

[Cranberry Moonwalk]

I signed up although I buy so little through Shout that it’s basically just for the access.

[rdodolak]

Yep, this was available yesterday and it looks like they also rolled out an updated web site layout.

[DuncJS]

Just joined their Physical Forever Club.

[jcs913]

$3 back on a hundred spent is better than a kick in the pants. But you spend $500 at Criterion, you get 10%, or $50 back. A huge difference. Better than nothing, I guess.

[rdodolak]

There's a change plan option though this is the only plan currently so they might add additional plans in the future.

[Rizor]

Sigh. Starts a day after I place a $300 order!
