Ant-Man (2015)

[StankYouSmellyMuch]

I received an email from VUDU awhile back about redeeming or purchasing movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe like Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, etc. and if you bought a certain amount, I think it said I needed 4 more and you'll get $5 in VUDU credits. I messed up and redeemed Iron Man 3 through DMR first instead of VUDU, so I redeemed Ant-Man on VUDU first and then on DMR to get points. Unfortunately that offer been expired but I did it just in case they bring it back.

Don't you know that redeeming the DMR portion will also provide the DMA (only if it comes from blu-ray combo pack that specifically states "Digital HD"?) You can link your VUDU account to DMA, and redeeming DMR that has DMA will also port the movie to your VUDU account. By redeeming Ant-Man on VUDU first and then on DMR to get the points (like you stated) is essentially wasting an extra portion. If you are concerned about getting DMR points, just redeem DMR portion which will also provide you with the DMA portion that ports over to VUDU (you can even link to iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, and Microsoft). You could have sold/traded/given away the extra Digital Copy Plus portion instead of double redeeming. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah all my accounts are linked. Only reason I redeemed through VUDU first instead of DMR first is because the offer was only valid for VUDU redemptions or purchases and redeeming through DMR voids the deal. I found the old email and realize the deal has been dead for awhile now. If that deal ever comes back again, since MCU movies are never ending, I'll probably just unlink, redeem on VUDU, then link accounts again. Since I usually just redeem on DMR for these movies. But yeah maybe I should start thinking about selling, trading, gifting these Disney digital copies. Thanks for the idea.

Hmm, when I got the email about that promotion as well, VUDU had me checked off for a few that I have from their list, but all of them were DMR/DMA redemption as I prefer to own the points as well. I never redeemed them directly on VUDU, but since it was linked to DMA, it still gave me credit as part of their promotion. I honestly don't think it's worth all the effort just to get $5 VUDU credit lol. It's more of their silly bait to get customers to buy more. Speaking of VUDU credits, you can send a text with the word ZOMBIE to 698838, and they'll send you a $2 VUDU credit for free! Think it's limited to one per account, but still it's better than nothing!

What's the best way to redeem this?
I got the 3D version.
My DMR is linked to my DMA which is linked to my Sister's Vudu.
I have my own Vudu account? If I redeem it on my Vudu first, can I still redeem it on DMR which will then add it to my DMA?
Or is it only DMR/DMA?

[StankYouSmellyMuch]

DMR. Only reason I considered VUDU was for a promo which is dead.

So I purchased the 3-D version of Ant-Man today and the paper with the digital code doesn't have a code. Just a grey box. Is the code ant-sized?



Any ideas?

^this reply is wrong about being DMR only.

You have it correct;
If a title comes with a digital copy, it's not going to ever be a "DMR only" code.

If you redeemed it on your own vudu, that would be the DC+ portion, leaving the DMR/DMA portion intact.

That part could be used on your DMR account connected to your sister's Vudu, and she would get it in that Vudu due to the DMA connection.
So long as your DC+ Vudu account isn't tied to any DMA accounts (as it would then get put in there upon your redemption)

I saw that offer as well. I didn't, because I figured it wasn't worth it to spend $20 on a digital copy of Ant-Man I'd be getting with the 3D Blu-Ray package anyway and $5 on the UV of Incredible Hulk (which I didn't have then, but do now) just to get $5 credit for VUDU. I believe the offer expired in October. Kind of ill-timed, since you'd only be pre-ordering Ant-Man.
