This article is from the rec.audio.* FAQ, by with numerous contributions by Bob Neidorff others.
Only buy one disc at full price, fulfilling your obligation.
Request the "POSITIVE OPTION" so that you save on postage. Only
buy from special fliers. Every month, except November and
December, they send out a "Two for half price then one free"
flier. They have almost all of the stuff in the regular fliers.
They even offer "Buy one get two free" sometimes. Wait for
those special deals. You can even order discs from an October
catalog using the order form that came in the February catalog.
You can get even more out of BMG by signing up, getting 8 discs
for the price of one, quitting, signing up again, etc. People
have done this successfully. BMG reserves the right to deny
membership to anyone, so you run a very slight risk of being
denied membership the 20th time. However, I have never heard
of anyone ever being denied membership for any reason.
