Strategies

If you are not yet a member sign up for the free 2 week trial. You should sign up for the 6 disc program. In the 2 week trial period you can expect to receive 12 DVDs if you watch them quickly and return them, depending on your location. At the end of the 2 week period you can cancel the membership or downgrade to a less expensive option. New Releases at other rental charges, such as BLOCKBUSTER are over $5 each, so the savings is in excess of $60! If you plan to cancel the membership, remember that all the DVDs need to arrive at Zip.ca before the trial is over, or else you will be charged. Allow at least 2 days for shipping and processing.

Purchase a small denomination of gift certificates each month and then use them to pay your own account for an extra 20 points/month.

Refer friends and family (they can sign up for the free 2 week trial) for 401 points + bonus.

Always use the ZipReceived function when you receive the DVD and the ZipReturned function when returning

The one month gift membership is the best value, try to hold out for this.

If you ever have customer service issues, try asking for bonus ZipReward points as compensation.
