Got a question about using VUDU credits... - Blu-ray Forum

Castiel23 · 09-08-2015, 06:24 PM

I've never used any VUDU credits before, so I'm a little unfamiliar with how they work, and I'm curious about something. From what I could find by searching Google and this forum, VUDU doesn't charge you sales tax when you use credits, but what happens when you only pay partially with credits?

For instance, I'm considering purchasing four $4.99 credits from another member, which would give me $19.96 in credit. What will happen when I use that to purchase an HDX movie that is $19.99? Will I just have to pay 3 cents with my debit/credit card? Or will it be $1.75 (which is about what the tax on a $19.99 purchase would be where I live) since I'm not paying the entire total with credits?

Any insight is appreciated, basically I'm just wondering if it would be smarter to try and get five $4.99 credits instead of four.

Oh and while I'm here, I may as well ask another question I've been wondering about... I currently have my brother linked to my UV account through "Share My Movies", and I've been wondering what would happen if he purchased a movie/TV season on VUDU that is UV enabled. Will I be able to watch it on my VUDU? Or does it only work one-way?

EDIT - Oh and one more question, I know only UV enabled movies are supposed to show up in shared accounts, but what about Disney movies like Age of Ultron? If I purchase that on my VUDU account will my brother get access to it (he's linked through "Share My Movies")?

Reason: Thought of another question, figured I'd add it to the OP...
