Instawatch purchases - Page 5 - Blu-ray Forum

Blu-News · 11-13-2014, 07:36 PM

Can anyone provide a picture of the art when you redeem double features or triple features etc on Vudu with instawatch? People said they show up without cover art? I wanted to pick up Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 double feature, but I'm wondering how it will look in my collection.

Jeepers creepers collection has artwork.

Through Instawatch? Or through the code included?

Through instawatch. It's similar to the cover but instead of a vertical line separating artwork from each movie it's diagonal line. My copy came via instawatch from the blu Ray set in store.

It's this one here. http://www.vudu.com/movies/Movies_mo...ers-Creepers-2

I'm kind of thinking the same thing, just the ones with the tag will work. Really all over the place though about eligibility. DVD is listed as Instawatch, but not the Blu, or a collection is listed, but not an individual title.

I stepped into a new Walmart out in the boonies today near a job site looking for those $5 titles. I didn't find any, but I did score Road Warrior with a Vudu copy for $7.88. I'll give it a week and see if Instawatch comes through before I rip it open and redeem. Not going to hold me breath though.

In another thread, OhioBobcat3 said Santa Claus: The Movie does not work, even though it is on VUDU. Presumably an in-store purchase. Has anyone else tried it?

If our above theory is correct then no it won't work since it has no Instawatch banner on the website.

This thing is pissing me off

I bought Robocop (in store) knowing it is instawatch eligible and submitted my receipt and nada.. Wait I just noticed that Robocop is only available for rent.. Bleh, I can't catch a break.

Wonder what that means? Since it had the instawatch icon online.

Someone said it gave them the new Robocop. Do you already own the new one?

Did your copy you bought have a UPC sticker over the original UPC?

Picked up Evil Dead 2 and Friday the 13th Uncut in store. No Instawatch email.

Neither has the instawatch logo online. More evidence that the tags are now correct I guess

Evil Dead 2 is not even UV yet (get it together Lionsgate).

It does actually.. Does that mean it's not eligible?
I got this one and it doesn't show that it comes with a physical instawatch sticker, but still shows the instawatch logo.: http://www.walmart.com/ip/33312023

It may be just like the first 3 Indiana Jones movies and can't be covered with a store UPC sticker. It's possible it's only recognized if the original UPC barcode is used at checkout. I'm just guessing here, because it has been proven with Indiana Jones.

So I placed an order from Walmart.com two days ago all with movies with the instawatch icon and haven't gotten any email from them or anything added to VUDU.

Does it normally take this long? Should I email VUDU about it or just wait a little more?

Bought Thor: The Dark World BluRay 3D in store and got an InstaWatch email and notice, but still required me to enter the code at Vudu.

Unfortunately Disney titles are not really InstaWatch eligible even if you get an email and a link to click on because they are making you enter the code to get the movie.

Yeah, I just figured I would report it since I've seen other reports that some titles send the email and link, but require you to still enter the code.

I emailed vudu about Robocop and I hate that they don't answer your question. It's like they don't even read your concerns

The website says 24 hours to respond, but in my case it's been around 2 weeks to respond. Usually they will issue you a case number and say they are escalating your issue. They may or may not resolve your issue after that. It's been 50/50 for me so far.

Just bought Harry and the Hendersons (site to store) and it redeemed in SD

So I guess it's better to just wait for the actual physical copy since that comes with digital HD.. Same thing with Harry Potter Hogwarts Collection all 8 in SD.
