On-line dvd rentals, do you try to watch and return your movies and soon as possible to get your money's worth

I gave someone a gift subscription to an on-line dvd rental for 2 months, and he must have called the place complaining every single day if things did not go perfectly, then he would put everything off until he watched each movie as they came in so he could return them as fast as possible.



As for returning, he made his girlfriend go out of her way to mail the dvd's near her work because he thought they would get there faster.

This guy needs to get on itunes and download content, since he has no patience. It is not normal behavior.On-line dvd rentals, do you try to watch and return your movies and soon as possible to get your money's worth
Well since you are payed for it, I guess he is trying to get YOUR money's worth! Watching movies is suppose to be a relaxing, exciting experience. Not something to get anxiety over because you have to watch is ASAP! That is one of the PERKS of the on-line rentals. There are no due dates!!!

Not really. I still prefer the brick and morter (Blockbuster), for getting my movies. They have the same deals, and you can get your munchies at the same time....
The online rental companies lose money if you return them too quickly all the time. Netflix had a policy called "throttling" where your account was flagged as having too much actiivity in a month and they actually slowed down mailing new movies to you. Instead of one day turn around, it took 2-4 days so that you weren't costing them so much in postage. I know they were sued and lost over this policy. I'm not sure if it is still practiced (but disclosed in the fine print) or if they had to stop doing it.
