I used to have Blockbuster Video account (DVD rental via mail).
There is one trick I came up with, I bet a lot of people came up with the same idea. Anyway, I thought it's worth of sharing it here.
When your month is up and if they sent your last DVDs of the month? that's when you should cancel your account.
So, you will receive your DVDs, watch them, and return them while your account is not active. In other words, you are not paying for that few days.
When you receive "DVD received" email from Blockbuster (Netflix), that's when you re-start your membership. If you receive "DVD received" email on Saturday, then you should wait until Monday morning to re-activate your account.
See what I mean?
This way, you get extra few days or up to one week of services for free, every month.
This can easily translates into $20 - $50+ savings every year, depends on your account and speed of delevery.
