How PAYG Works
Pay as you go (PAYG) DVD rental works by letting you buy credits in advance. With Lovefilm and easyCinema these credits last 3 months. When you want to watch a movie you just log into their site and use your credit to rent the movie that you want. Delivery is free by first class post which normally takes about one or two days for your DVD's to arrive.
Lovefilm and easyCinema both offer two types of PAYG DVD rental plans which are Auto Top-Up and Non-Auto Top Up:
- Auto Top Up ensures that you have continious supply credits. When your exisiting batch of credits have run out, Auto Top Up will automatcially buy you a new batch of credits, so you don't have to remember to keep topping up your credits.
- Non-Auto Top-Up Standard plans expire after you have used all rental credits or after 3 months (whichever is earlier) without being rebilled. If you continue to hold any DVDs after your credits have expired you will automatically be charged for a new batch of credits at your current plan rate.
Streamed Movies
Lovefilm's PAYG service also gives you access to over 2000 streamed films which you can watch instantly online when you subscribe to any of their unlimited DVD PAYG rental packages.
