***Guide To Redeeming Digital Movies***

Just checked my movies anywhere to see Ready Player One was active and ready to watch, it’ll also port to iTunes around 3-4am UK time. :)
 
I’ve used them a few times but some of their codes are way overpriced, I got Inception UHD for $6, HDMoviecodes wanted $18 when it was first released.

Hi all,

I've created a Vudu account using the VPN i currently have which is Freedome (I tried setting up MoviesAnywhere last night but it knew I was behind a VPN, will have to try another).

Has anyone tried creating a US Itunes/Apple account recently? I can't seem to get the option on my phone to create a new Apple account and if I try through Itunes it asks for an American phone number to set-up two-factor verification.

Let me know if you have no luck with MA, I’ll try through my NordVPN account.

Haven’t encountered the issue you speak of but it’s been a while since I created an iTunes account for someone. If you have no luck, send me a trust message and I’ll help you out. :)

I've been trying to register with MA today using a number of VPN's, Tunnelbear, NordVPN and My-Private-Network with no success. I even tried Tunnel bear and Nord at the same time as I'd seen someone say to try that. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Send me a trust message and I’ll try it for you, still seems to be working fine for me. :)

Hi all. New to Overclockers, but found this really useful thread and am giving it a go! One hurdle I've just come up against: when using the Google community Clov!s kindly linked to, how do you make a payment? I think Paypal charges a big fee for paying $ in the UK, and I've just tried to pay someone through Google Pay and failed miserably ("Can't send money with this payments profile. The country associated with your profile needs to match the currency that you're sending").

Thanks, and sorry if it's a newbie question!

I normally choose to pay from the bank account rather than my bank card, sending money from the UK into the US normally costs around £1.10 when using your bank and sometimes upwards of £3 when using your card.

I only ever use PayPal. :)

Has anyone managed to associate a credit card with Vudu in order to buy directly from there?

I setup a US Paypal account and added my Revolut card, but something is up with that setup as when I tried to pay on Vudu via that Paypal account it doesn't believe any payment setup is present in Paypal.
I then tried to pay directly with my Revolut card, but got an error with the address/zip code not matching (using an address in New Hampshire which I use for my US iTunes account).

My Revolut card works fine with FandangoNow, it's just Vudu that is giving me hassle.

I thought about using Vudu e-gift cards, but it appears the only place you can buy them is from Walmart.com and I believe that's going to have the same issue where they only accept a card with a US address.

My VUDU account is using my UK paypal account, no issues buying with it. :)

So when you talk about using your bank account rather than your card, you're talking in the context of Paypal? It seems that Paypal is the only way to go, and to buy in bulk so as to keep the fees down. I can't say I fully understand the fees, but it looks like at least £1.99 each time (https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/cross-border-and-conversion-fees).

That's correct, i have my visa debit card linked with my paypal and also my account number and sort code, that way it acts like a direct debit and the charges are not as high. :)

It seems the £1.99 fee has just come in, looking back through old transactions, some were as low as £0.89 fee.

SmartDNS or GetFlix both work with VUDU on the PC for using the website and Apple TV.

From the few DNS providers i have tried, they state they do not work on the new Apple 4K TV, only the Apple 3rd + 4th gen.

I think altering your DNS settings from your router is the best option.

Not sure if anyone can help or is having a similar issue...

I've redeemed 2 codes today one via Vudu and the other Via Movies Anywhere...both titles show up in my Vudu account...and also my MA account as both as MA eligible...however they aren't porting to my Google Play account at all.

Very bizarre and the first time I've had such a problem. Had Infinity War pre-ordered on Vudu and it just dropped into all my connected services without a problem.

Any codes I have redeemed so far have been instantly transferred to all connected services.

I use Google Play as the TV is an Android TV and I already had a decent library in that ecosystem.

So far everything has played and ported fine without the need for a VPN.

I've disconnected and reconnected the accounts but no joy so far. Reached out to MA tech support but they haven't a clue either.

What films are they? Have you checked Google play store to see if they are available on there?

The Corpse Bride and Lego Aquaman - Rage of Atlantis

Both MA eligible...one older movie one new...both ported into all other connected services... Fandango and Vudu....just won't come over to Google.

Strange...but now has me concerned that there's an issue and no further titles will redeem.

If you are talking about LEGO DC Superheroes: Aquaman Age of Atlantis, that is only Pre-order on Google Play so won't be available in your purchased movies yet. Give it 48 hours and if the other film doesn't port, try reconnecting your providers again.
