- Some people still don't have their own computer (*gasp*, yes it's true)
- Using the movieredeem dot com manual redeem method (which does not currently work) requires an email address. That's LAME.
- With the manual redeem method, just try to un-check the "I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT LIONSGATE AND ITS AFFILIATES' PROPERTIES" option. You cannot opt out of their spam.
When I was at the retailer, I clearly saw the price. And on the cover, there is a list of what product was promised for that money exchange, which is: - 4K Ultra HD
- Blu-ray
- Digital
So to get the product #3 promised on the cover, I must submit to receiving email from Lionsgate (yes, I understand that you can probably opt out later), and I must download and install an application (which presents a security risk and may be prohibited on the computer I use, if I even have a computer at my disposal) to actually receive product #3.
That is all, as we Americans like to say, quite BUNK.

True about the computer, I'm not even sure I could download it to my laptop. I think the expectation is that EVERY person has a phone, and also has the (expensive) service necessary to perform the redeem. So if you only have a flip-phone and an older desktop, then. . . oh well too bad? (sez Lionsgate)
Okay, must not be well-known, but to bypass the email thing on redeemmovie.com:
Where it says I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT LIONSGATE AND ITS AFFILIATES' PROPERTIES, there is a box that is automatically checked.
If that box is checked, you cannot proceed without entering an email address. If you uncheck that box, you can proceed WITHOUT entering an email address.
