Save on Some Music - 12 CDs for the Price of 1

Love music? Want to build up your collection without too much out-of-pocket?

I joined BMG Music Club for their initial offer which is really a great way to get a load of excellent CDs for a low investment. You initially pick out seven CDs for free when you join... then you have to buy one at full price sometime during the next year and afterwards you get to pick four more CDs to receive free! So you can end up with twelve great CDs for the price you'd pay for one.

They do add a shipping/handling charge in the $2 range per CD, but after all is said and done you can listen to a very nice collection. They have a very large and varied catalog of music for virtually every genre. From what I recall, some of the catalog isn't available for the initial selections but there are plenty of choices.

Their hope obviously is that you'll stay with the club, but you can cancel anytime after you fulfill the membership requirement of one purchased CD. I stayed with them for a while longer, and later on they have offers of discounts for multiple purchases, free CDs if you buy one, points earned on purchases that you can redeem for free CDs and more. I built up a large selection combining some of their offers over time... sure beat paying retail or close to it in music stores.

You can even make your choices or decline their monthly suggested offers on-line nowadays so it doesn't even have to involve returning cards and stamps anymore.

But the best deal is still the first one - twelve for one! Even if you own an Ipod and don't listen to a CD player anymore, you can still get great music that can expand your collection. Also, did you know that the quality of music on a CD is twice as good as what you get in an Ipod or mp3 download? So if you have music you like on your Ipod and want to hear it even better, the CD offer might still be a way to enhance your listening experience.
