Question for everyone, from what Ive read through googling, if you put in a US code for lets say Justice League in Movies Anywhere and it syncs to iTunes, you do not get the free 4k version upgrade right? all signs point to no.
Unless would that same code work if redeemed in itunes? would that work?

You can’t input it directly into iTunes, Justice League only comes with a UltraViolet code. Same with other Warner movies.

The only ways you can get 4K on iTunes for JL is to either buy it there, or redeem the code from the 4K/Ultra HD disc version on MA or Vudu so it gets transferred to iTunes.

I haven't found any similar information elsewhere, so I think it may be a mistake. I know some people have successfully did this in the past with Disney codes for instance, but I am not sure if it still works with Universal titles.

I am from canada. I redeemed blackkklansman on google play canada. It's ported to moviesanywhere in hd. I got the uhd on google play canada. Skyscraper, mama mia here we go again, jurassic world fallen kingdom and the first purge also ported to moviesanywhere with a canadian google play account. They also redeemed in 4k in google play but hd in moviesanywhere.

Brief history, since the release of Upgrade, universal canada modified the redemption. In the past, old universals movies were dual redeem (vudu and itunes) after universal canada redeemed directly on moviesanywhere ( exemples (blockers, pacific rim uprising, truth or dare etc...)

hope's that help...

Before the change with google play canada... it's was really easier to trade or sell universal canadian codes with usa members. (redeemed directly in moviesanywhere)

Now, in canada you trade only easily disney codes (itunes and some movies work with google play canada)

Exemple

Christopher robin canadian code can be split and be redeemed on google play usa and itunes usa.

Incredibles 2 canadian code is region locked on google play but can be redeemed in itunes usa.

Paramount pictures can be trade or sell with usa member. Split code (vudu and itunes)

Fox canada will only redeem in google play canada and don't port.

Lionsgate is an other story here in canada. Movies from lionsgate in canada are distributed by other studios ( like eone entertainment etc... = itunes canada mostly)

hopes that's help a little.

I do know that Canadian google play codes do not port to MA. My code buying had dropped to almost nill with the exception of E one, paramount and Disney codes, seeing I am a iTunes user.

Are you using an USA iTunes account or Canadian iTunes account? My Canadian google plays codes from Disney and universals port to my USA iTunes.

It’s my US iTunes account, apparently Universal will port to MA but Fox codes won’t.

Quick question if you buy an movie in Google canada will it port over to MA. I just brought an movie it didnt port over. Can you set up an Google Usa account with same ID using VPN.

Universal and now Sony releases in Canada will redeem in GP and port to MA. I’ve been doing this every week with new releases.
Fox codes do not port so I look for US codes for those since I have MA.

You can't directly. You have to use some port of geo-location bypass or ask someone in the US to set one up for you.

if i go down to the us and set it up will it work in canada?

[ColinD]

You may need a vpn for the sign up for the initial account (I cant remember) but after that you can stream without it, I do it in the UK from US etc.

Yes, that’s how I did it. I had a US iTunes account and somehow had a VUDU account for my UV movies and when I got back to Canada everything had merged into my Canadian google play account and my US iTunes*account. To be honest I never use it, just stick with Canadian iTunes where 99% of my movies are.

So I just need some clarification:

So the old iTunes Fox codes will still redeem on a US iTunes account but the new Google Play Fox codes will only redeem on a Canadian Google Play account?

The new Universal codes will only redeem on a Canadian Google Play account but then can port to a US MA account?

Also does anyone know yet how the Sony Pictures Store US closing will affect the redeeming of Canadian Sony codes in the US?

Correct on first two points with my experience. Apparently,all new Sony codes now redeem at google play and will port to MA accounts , like Universal.
Wonder why the studios are picking googleplay in Canada for redemptions? I thought it was originally iTunes upgrading all to 4K but since google play does that now , I’m at a loss to explain.

So if I'm in the US and have a Canadian Google Play code to redeem is there a way to redeem it? Just using a VPN set to Canada hasn't been working for Google Play.

So, the Canuck 4K version of 'First Man' on this site is listed as having a 'Movies Anywhere' code included. Is that just a database error (likely, unfortunately) or is there some new delicious upcoming news about MA availability in Canada (he daren't not dream, but asks anyway so he can bask in delusion-fuelled excitement for as long as it takes someone to reply to this post)?

Sorry I’m not sure about that as I’m in Canada.

I can’t see MA happening in Canada, but universal codes will redeem on googleplay and port to MA account if you have one.

If I have a WB movie code and I redeem it with Flixter Canada, would the movie transfer to Vudu and then to Movies Anywhere?
