February 14, 200917 yr If it's $1.25 for 1 day or 20 days, then why not keep it for 20? I see nothing wrong with that. I too have Netflix, and I've had Wall-e since the day it came out. My daughter watches it constantly. If I rented it from Blockbuster, I'd keep it until the day I had to pay full price for it to keep my daughter happy.
February 14, 200917 yr I really don't care who has had movies late for more than 20 days. IMO that just shows laziness and irresponsiblity unless you were sick or had something very important come up. But not to turn in a movie or two movies in 20 days is petty.:idunno: I think you're being a bit unrealistic to think that this can't or should never happen. People forget things -- things get lost -- it happens. I'm sure you have forgotten or misplaced many things in your life. The fact that it is a Blockbuster movie doesn't make it different from anything else.

February 14, 200917 yr So are you going to try Netflix? I think its the best way to go regardless of the fees BB has.
February 14, 200917 yr No Late Fees: Membership rules apply for rentals. Rentals are due back at the date and time stated in the transaction receipt. There is no additional rental charge if a member keeps a rental item upto 7 days beyond the prepaid rental period. After 7 days beyond the due date, BLOCKBUSTER will automatically convert the rental to a purchase on the 8th day and will charge the member the selling price for the item in effect at the time of the rental, minus the rental fee paid. Member then has 30 days to return the product and receive a credit for the selling price charged, less a $1.25 stocking fee. These terms are available at participating stores only. Franchisee restocking fees may vary. See blockbuster.com for complete terms and conditions. Sorry but I think the rule is pretty clear.
February 14, 200917 yr Yep, 20 days, man that happens a lot, I guess. Whatever. There ya go now. :thumb:

February 14, 200917 yr I know that when they went to the "No Late Fee" promotion, it was widely advertised that after 7 days you would buy the movie. I have always known that. I have never kept movies that I rented for 2 weeks or longer. They are not mine. The longest I have held onto a movie or game is 1 week, that is before they put in the 7 day late and its yours program. So again, ignorance of they law/rule, is not an acceptable excuse. I would say that the girl should go to her boss and find out why SHE would have to pay for you keeping/stealing the movies. Just another view. You signed the contract, did you read it?
