This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: huge success.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

For all those that haven't used it, the program offers rent 1 get 1 free on all movies and games at Hollywood Video. You can even combine movies and games. Hollywood also has a great selection of the Blu and Red. That right there is worth 7 bucks in my book.

I got it when it first came out, never used the thing. I'm guessing its the same for a lot of Diamond Card users. I won't be paying for this thing.

Wow the first post took me to an "IE cannot disply the page" site. Figured it didn't go through. Sorry.

To Neon Jebus,

I hear you. I had 3 in my area but now its only 2. I do remember hearing Game Crazy/Hollywood Video was having some money issues. If Hollywood shut down coast to coast, my diamond card would not get used.

I used it once. I printed out a coupon to get some discounted food and I got hassled for it. Why would I pay to be hassled over an Internet coupon? That card is about as useful as a poopy-flavored lollipop.

The only reason I got the card was because I thought it was cool to have my gamertag on a piece of plastic. 7 bucks a year? That is a matinee movie, mang!

I got mine and pretty much threw it in the junk drawer of my desk. One of the kickers when I looked into the “deals” was that you needed to print out coupons at most of the brick and mortar stores for any kind of discount. What made it so laughable was that you could find better coupon deals in the Sunday newspaper.

I used to use it all the time when they offered $2 off a quiznos sub, using that twice a month basically paid for my live service

Lame! No way I'll be subscribing.

One of the Xbox sweepstakes last year required a Diamond card and I won a copy of "Crackdown".

That's the best deal I've gotten out of it. I occasionally print the Arbys coupon but I keep forgetting to use it.

Somehow I doubt I'll [B]pay[/B] to renew it, unless some SERIOUS benefit upgrades are included with the invoice...

I signed up right in the beginning. I used a coupon for 10% off accessories at Circuit City to get some MS points. I think I may have used the Target one too.

Best deal: Free Zune. It was from the contest this past summer. Granted I already had one but still free is good. If they did more contests and better coupons (more electronics or not "sales" that are everyday offers) I would be inclined to pay, but that will be a wait and see kind of thing.

I have never used mine and cant see a reason to pay for it. Pretty sad that I haven't actually tried it out.

To folks saying they never got one, I just emailed MS in the past and they were very polite and mailed one out. That happened to me with my first one, and then when it expired I had to email them for a new one. Wasn't a real big deal.

I have the card, but have never been compelled to use it anywhere. I actually forgot I had one until I read this post.

MS can stuff their $7 fee, I don't see why anyone would pay for that.

I never use mine anyway. Its just cool to have. XD

I've used my card several times. That 10% off all purchases at Target.com is useful in my household. Other than that, the other deals are kinda useless.
