They can continue to bring in their envelope flaps and exchange them for free in-store rentals for the duration of the promotion. Netflix customers do not need to subscribe to Blockbuster's online program to participate, but a Blockbuster store membership is required. Also, the name on the Netflix tear-off flaps must match the name on the holder's Blockbuster membership account.

I know what I'm not throwing away anymore

The new Block Buster program is outragous. For those that don't know about it you return your mailed movies to the store to get free in store rentals. It is checked in and the next movie on your list is sent the next day. It's almost like getting 6 movies at once instead of three.

Yes, the envelope is like a free rental coupon plus the movie you return gets checked in right away at the store so they send the next movie on your list.
