Yes, I forgot about this. I actually never did it though because I kept
reading in here how it would take a couple days for the clerks at the
BB stores to even input that the movie was returned or it would take a
couple days before it would show up and generally returning them by
mail, at least where I am resulted in them showing up at the BB
distribution center the next day. I just can't stand going into BB
stores (I never even used my instore coupon), I think the employees
there are the most annoying of anyplace but if you've got a BB store
that you can return your disks to and they show up right away as
returned, that's a pretty excellent feature that Netflix doesn't have.
