Free G/PG rental VUDU/Chick-fil-A kids meal - Blu-ray Forum

Instead of a toy, Chick-fil-A is including a free G or PG VUDU movie rental in their kids meals right now. While testing what it would/would not work on, it took the entire $8 off the UHD rental fee of Spider-man: Into the Spider-Verse. Worth looking into.

It costs EIGHT DOLLARS to RENT Spiderverse in UHD???

Go home, VUDU, you're drunk.

At first I was like" great idea get the name out there" but then they had to go and eff it up with outrageous rental prices. Vudu will probably be dead within 2 years. A rental should cost $3-$4 regardless of resolution.

LOL, yeah, I was a little surprised by that too. It's a good movie, but I try to buy 4ks around $10 or digital around $5. Spiderverse 4k is regularly $20+ and the digital is regularly $10+. So they think $8 to rent it is a "deal".

Spiderverse is the most expensive G/PG rental I could find. Rental charges also escalated with resolution (SD>HD>UHD). I haven't rented anything digitally, so that caught me by surprise. But I can wait till either price drops. I'd like to own the disc, but digital is more convenient.

The fine print on the code said it would work on a rental, OR take off a certain amount on a purchase, but after testing it, it didn't take anything off digital purchases, but still zeroed out digital rentals.

But a free movie night is a free movie night, especially for a kid. We couldn't find Paddington 2 on any streaming services, so we'll use the free code on that. The first one was ok, but I definitely don't need to own that. A free rental will be fine.

Code worked well online and on the LG TV Vudu app.

Paddington 2 looked great in UHD and was even more grandiose than the first one. I was surprisingly impressed. A lot of work went into making that. Bravo.

I guess Chick-fil-A is too afraid of children purchasing movies..

This promotion has started reappearing on kids meal bags under coming soon, so hopefully it will be returning in the next month or so

My daughter got a free G or PG VUDU rental in her kids meal over the weekend, so this deal is back for anyone that is interested.
