Yes,membership is actually free and better yet,so is trading as well.All members are actually rewarded via our free rewards program.Our free rewards program,is a program which rewards members by granting them one free point for simply following up on thier dvd trading obligations with other members in the community.Once a fellow trader confirms or vertifies recieving thier requested trades from you,you qualify immediatly for credit via the free rewards program.Thus actually,not obligating you to any purchase what so ever and giving you the opportunity to get movies for free,after all.So why then,do you offer memberships?Our memberships are not required,they are simply designed for those members,who perfer,not to be bothered or have the patience to wait around for a trade.Please note,we also offer individual points which you may purchase,should you decide not to get one of our affordable priced-no obligation-memberships.
