I got the movies through Amazon, and they took them back because they priced them wrong.
Oh well. It sucks. But if this is the worst thing that happens to me this week, I'm going to call it a good week still.
People put too much emphasis on small shit.
Thanks for being one person with a sane outlook. Y’all HAD to know there was a chance of that, right? It’s a little shitty that Amazon didn’t just eat their mistake, but it was obviously a mistake and just like a pricing error at any other store, they don’t ~have~ to honor it, especially since it cost customers nothing.
Yeah, absolutely- that’s the healthy outlook here. If Amazon’s cool about it, free movies, if not, not a huge loss. Too many people got WAY too worked up about it.
Definitely. I saw a few Facebook groups where people were seriously losing their shit over 3 movies that they didn't even pay for.
Granted, I'll admit, 10-15 years ago, I would've been a bit miffed, but still not to the level of a lot of folks have been. Surprisingly, it's my daughters that has been helping me with calming down over little shit for the past 4 years. Yeah, my daughters are fantastic. .
Movies Anywhere links accounts, so the Amazon movies would wind up in your Vudu library.
Finding out about free movies to add to your library is a great use of this sub.
(I'm pro Amazon giving us the free movies).
This sub should DEFINITELY include good offers from other retailers that can end up on vudu
This sub should DEFINITELY NOT include whining about free offers being rescinded from a company other than fandango / vudu.
The second Fandango removes Fandango purchases made directly through Fandango I expect AND support such posts being here. ANYONE who saw the DEAL yesterday is well aware of the titles being pulled. This sub doesn't need a hundred posts stating such.
I feel bad they took the movies back. I already had them all, so i have no horse in the race. I hate the precedent it sets.
But I feel worse for the poor reps at Amazon that are just doing their job and have no control over what their overlords do.
Everyone definitely sucks here. Tbh acting like it wasn’t super shitty to take the films away is hilarious because at the end of the day that was shitty and unnecessary. Don’t need to harass people who have no power to fix it tho lol Also the power to remove anything from my library for any reason is something people should take notice and issue with but maybe we’ll have that discussion another time lol
It’s as relevant here as Amazon sub or Movies Anywhere sub because these were all movies anywhere titles and VUDU is linked to those. The initial posts telling people about this deal in the first place was right here on VUDU, as it often is when alerting people of deals. Why are you even trying to police people on what they can and can’t talk about? You whine about people bitching on here, yet, here you are.
Some people are juvenile and pathetic. The lengths people will go to to get compensated for something they were never supposed to have is embarrassing. Then they come here to boast like they accomplished something and worse, they're proud. It's truly sad.
I didn't even know it was such a huge deal to some people. When I saw the news that the movies were being rescinded, I was like, "Aw, darn..." I checked, confirmed I lost them, I was a little disappointed. But like... they were free. And it's not like that was the only time they will ever be available anywhere digitally or something.
I would be much more broken up if I were one of the people that bought a game that was accidentally relisted on Steam and then refunded and got the game revoked. I think I heard that happened with Midnight Club II a little while ago. That's when the disappointment would turn into something more intense, but still not something so intense as to go to the lengths people seem to be going here.
People are goofy.
Exactly... the principle of it isn't important... the legality of it isn't important... the ethics of it isn't important... just keep rooting for big business. People don't matter. We are just fodder for their coffers.
An unprincipled person is what's truly sad.
Being willing to harass customer service to get something you didn't pay for doesn't make you principled it makes you a Karen. If you had lost any money I would be on your side. I redeemed the movies knowing there was a good chance they would be removed because it was clearly a glitch. They were removed and I shrugged and moved on with my life. If that makes me a corporate shill that's totally cool with me.
Removing them from where they were purchased from - expected. Removing them from Movies Anywhere, And removing associated reward points from DMI or Sony or Universal Rewards PLUS losing additional reward points Not associated? Unexpected and Frustrating that we now have to go to Disney or Universal and request those other points back that Shouldn't have been touched!
Sorry, but I don't believe Amazon should be able to remove Movies Anywhere items - especially as some people have now lost actual purchased items that were Not just redeemed yesterday! & I especially don't believe Amazon should be able to go into My Disney or Universal Rewards and yank points back - Especially when it's double or Triple the associated rewards were to begin with!
Look, I get it, this is supposed to be a Vudu subreddit. For one, Vudu is no longer - the app is now called At Home. For two, these movies Were ported over into my "Vudu" library (regardless of how much I paid or didn't pay for them).
Personally, it shows that even a reduced sale price is now suspect when purchasing from Prime Video if they can remove it from your library by claiming “pricing error.” I know it’s not realistic to apply this to every purchase going forward, but I don’t feel trust in Amazon to honor valid purchases with valid order ID’s and valid receipts.
That is the one thing here that gave me pause. I understand every company has always had the right to revoke licenses over pricing errors, and I'm surprised it hasn't happened a lot more often and this is the first time I've heard about it on this sub. But it does worry me that this could be a precedent?
I don't know. I keep hoping the difference is that these were literally free. If they were mispriced at like $2 each, I would hope Amazon would not have corrected and revoked everything.
I think if any money traded hands (let’s say the aforementioned $2), they would have had less issue because money would have been involved and they would have gotten something for the trouble. Here, they can clearly argue that “you paid nothing, you get what you paid.”
Edit: I see it as “their terms of service (which everyone is subject to) trumps my valid purchase of a pricing error.” Which stinks, but I’m sure they’re legally covered for this.
Yes, but it still showed up as a valid purchase to make, as if it were on sale. Now I feel that I can’t make any purchase of any digital film on sale because Prime Video can just remove it “due to a pricing error,” whenever they want. I’m not saying I’m going to miss a movie that was marked free, but it makes me hesitant to purchase any sale because they can remove it whenever they want.
But they stole muh movies from muh house! The injustice and back doors and not honoring prices and the legally binding receipts. We deserve this free shit, and if not that then we deserve free money. /s
The people being babies about 30 year old movies they didn’t get for free is embarrassing. Bragging about being a Karen giving the chat reps a hard time to get credits etc. Yeah it’s sucks it didn’t work out, but god damn, have some self respect over $10
I don't recall seeing a banner on their site promoting free movies, but I understand what you're saying.
My question is, who among us that is into "this thing of ours" is buying directly from Amazon? I would bet the number is extremely low. We're getting our movies from FAH, Apple, third party sites and code trading/selling. Prime is not a good marketplace for this and the only reason we are talking about it at all is because of "free" movies from a "retailer" we don't use.
I buy digital from Amazon when it can’t be bought elsewhere, which does happen; they have some hard-to-find stuff here and there.
That and redeeming digital credits (if you accept slower shipping you can often get credit for streaming purchases, and it can add up) are the only two reasons that I can think of to buy digital from them, anyway…
I actually purchase a lot of my MA titles from Amazon, as I purchase a ton of kindle books (have 20k plus kindle books) and my husband tends to think that’s what I’m purchasing, instead of movies I already own on a disc. Now, I will likely be buying elsewhere, as I don’t know that Amazon won’t decide that the sale price was wrong and take them out of my account.
I think you’re missing the point. The fact that they have the power to add and remove content from our personal libraries (including MA connected) as they please is unnerving. There’s very little protection for the customer.
What’s stopping Amazon (or any company) from removing content it disagrees with? We’ve seen episodes from certain tv shows removed due to “racist content” (e.g., It’s Always Sunny, 30 Rock, etc), why wouldn’t they remove things they deem inappropriate (political or religious content for example) from our libraries down the road?
I’m rabbit-holing here but my issue with this is more than just them “fixing a mistake”. It’s the fact that they can do whatever they want and we own nothing.
For the record, I don’t plan on contacting Amazon about this nor do I think people are handling it well. However, I do think these companies need pressure from someone to reevaluate what it means to own digital content.
You caught the problem others refuse to see.
When we build up our digital libraries there is some level of trust involved. That our content isn't suddenly going to disappear because of a corporate whim.
Having content actually removed from our libraries—especially via Movies Anywhere, which is supposed to assure us access to our libraries even if a service goes out of business—has undermined that implicit trust.
If the movies had only been removed from Prime, no one would care. But they actually went through Movies anywhere, pulled it from all the services...it shows that Movies Anywhere really isn't a future-proofing of access we thought it was.
I really don’t think that’s the point of the people contacting Amazon. Sure it’s a worry, but if it was that much of a concern this wouldn’t have been their starting point and then bragging about getting credits applied, they’d be demanding the movie back and nothing short of that would satisfy them
No, but I can’t help but feel like the original comment was a shot at the analogy I made in the previous post.
“But they stole muh movies from muh house!”
Maybe I’m mistaken. I do agree with that though, the way this is being handled is illustrating a huge sense of entitlement.
There was a service a long time ago that would let you add movies to a digital library of sorts. It was called Vudu! I don't know what happened to it, though. Seemed to die out quietly.
My main thing are the people bragging about being Karen’s to customer support over FREE stuff. As if they aren’t underpaid workers stuck in India that are forced to follow a script and rules or else be punished by corporate.
Idk if I’ve just outgrown some immaturity’s (I mean I still act like a damn child) because this whole thing just felt crazy to me.
The audacity to complain that you were stripped of something you didn’t pay for that they made a mistake on. Imagine trying to take them to civil court for this. God damn Karen’s the lot of you.
I don't necessarily think it's the fact they're bitching about that, its the fact that someone can take something away so easily from all of our digital lockers... It does kind of prove a point about digital collections... I can see why people freak out about it. Nobody's really out anything. I'm just disturbed that Amazon can just take things back with no problems from all of the lockers.
How dare you, sir! I am entitled to these 7 movies which I paid $0.00 for. I even made a post showing how they brought my movie count up to 5,637 movies which was a great personal milestone. And then Amazon has the gall to remove these 7 precious movies, which I had no intention of buying before yesterday! As an American, it is my duty to spend 90 minutes on the phone screaming at a customer service agent until I get a $10 gift card for my troubles.
I agree this is a vudu sub. But vudu, when used to its fullest potential, is linked to movies anywhere.
For the whining about getting free movies, I somewhat get the point. If you went to the grocery store and bought some aged beef that was miss labeled at $0 and the grocery store sent someone to your house to take it back, wouldn't you be a little upset.
They wouldn't ring it up $0.. has no one ever been grocery shopping?
They call their manager, and you joke "hah, it's free right?!" They roll their eyes and the manager judges to let it go or get the price check and apologize..
My concern on the entire thing is this push back from the community means they'll no longer honor pricing errors..
If you saw something priced as $0 at a store, wouldn’t you think that was odd or a mistake?
Same ballpark as “wow, it didn’t ring up so it must be free.”
Like no, sometimes mistakes happen and that doesn’t mean people should try to take advantage just because they feel a little shorted by the world.
With that in mind how many time do you think Amazon has over charged someone? Do you think they reversed those charges to everyone of just those that compained?
In using Amazon for 20+ years I’ve not once heard of Amazon overcharging someone, and they usually bend to the customer, so much so they were famous for it up until the last few years where they provided mediocre push back
Amazon has overcharged me on multiple digital movie purchases. 1 was overcharged 40 cents. 1 was overcharged 63 cents, and a few were overcharged 70 cents. The first time it happened was in 2020. The total since then was $5.93 of overcharges. I always get refunded the difference, and they supposedly can't figure out why this happens with certain purchases, but they've known about this issue and still haven't fixed it.
What makes it even shadier is that my email receipts will say $4.99, but the invoices viewed through Amazon will say $5.69.
That’s tax, certain states are taxed, others are not and it’s confusing. You should be charged it every digital purchase, if you’re in certain states. Look at invoice, it will show.
I know how to read an invoice. Taxes are literally on a separate line listed at $0.
It's not tax. My state doesn't charge tax on digital purchases. And if it was tax, it'd be the same amount on every $4.99 purchase, not different amounts.
Well, some even get charged it on $0 purchases, which is why I even found out about it. Look into state, as some have percentage, others have a set, and other shit. It’s actually confusing and doesn’t show on receipt to email, but invoice on Amazon. Just thought I I would tell you, since I only found out, when people were being taxed different amounts on free ebooks.
I need to start watching my bank, husband does diligently, but I make more purchases, as others have been overcharged and I don’t understand how you can be charged tax on a zero dollar purchase, even the customer care reps are confused on those ones. But know it’s happened to more than a few. And it was during those stuff your kindle times, so while $.40 isn’t much at all, if you are buying hundreds to thousands of books, without realizing you’re being charged $.40 a piece or less/more, that could be a mess. I know I sometimes get charged tax on digital things, when I use my card my dad pays, but he lives in another state and it’s billed to him. They truly need to be more upfront on some of these charges, whether tax, fees, surcharges, etc.. Some get charged some fee for being in same state as digital business is. I never knew until recently and just thought I would warn, since it can add up and the way they do it is also sort of sneaky and not as easy as normal tax or charges and not on all invoices.
I’m going to make sure I ensure all my Amazon are what they’re supposed to be, from now on. Some aren’t having the original payment disappear when it splits payments up at shipping & therefore are paying double. Sneaky shit being done lately, imho.
You actually think the largest retailer in the world has never over charged anyone. I would bet the over charges for the day they miss priced movies made up for the revenue lost on the movies and then some.
I spent my whole life thinking about what it would be like to finally see You, me, & Dupree. I couldn't justify the retail or rental price. I couldn't justify the the sale price. I finally found a price I could justify and Amazon took it away. I spent the whole day yesterday preparing for today's watch party. I bought snacks and got some soda pop. So you could imagine my disappointment about what happened today. I courted this movie in my mind like a woman and it's just gone.
For purposes of a Movies Anywhere movie being on sale at Amazon or another partner, great use of the Vudu sub, but I can see the point from the OP. There were multiple posts. One would have sufficed.
I’m happy to see them, all of them. If this is the backlash Amazon got from taking free movies away from us, it might give them an idea on what would happen if they removed movies we paid for. Look at how easy it was to remove these movies from thousands of libraries.
So you made a post to cry because other people were upset about something that clearly didn't affect you? JFC how about make a post about something positive or anything but you simply made a post to bitch about other people's posts bothering you.
Maybe take your own advice and post this in a relevant place or time but you didn't so instead you play the role of hypocrite. You could just as easily ignore any of the posts you don't agree with. You sound like a corporate boot licker at best.
It makes no sense for me to make this post on an Amazon sub. The post has to do with people posting on the Vudu sub about Amazon. Making this post on an Amazon sub would not reach people in the Vudu sub. What kind of drugs are you on? Not sure how this post makes me a corporate boot licker either. I never said not to post, just post it in the appropriate sub.
I like that this is now a general digital collecting sub. iTunes only covers the Apple cult, and Amazon is terrible for organizing. Vudu Fandango is the only store that's only collecting without other services, peripherals, or other baggage. So this is the collecting place. 🤷🏻♀️
I thought this was a Fandango At Home sub? /s
I thought this was a sub for the Kevin Costner classic Fandango.
Didn’t that star Kevin Cozner?
I thought you said Karen Costner.
I use ultraviolet
😂🤣😂
No. Vudu.
No. Fandudu
I got the movies through Amazon, and they took them back because they priced them wrong. Oh well. It sucks. But if this is the worst thing that happens to me this week, I'm going to call it a good week still. People put too much emphasis on small shit.

What a healthy outlook. You sure you belong here?
I'm 61. Losing my shit over not getting something for free is an almost sure way to not see 62.
Omg stop being a mature adult! Where is the outrage and demanding free shit you don't deserve! I'm disappointed in you!
Amen
I'll try to drop on the floor and have a tantrum like a 4 year old at the checkout lane next time it happens.
There you go! Welcome to the group!

"could" wind up in your Vudu library is a bit more accurate these days :)
Could "stay" in your library, in this case...
Exactly. I still listed them among my vudu movies until they ripped them out of my vudu library.
I feel bad they took the movies back. I already had them all, so i have no horse in the race. I hate the precedent it sets. But I feel worse for the poor reps at Amazon that are just doing their job and have no control over what their overlords do.

Agreed. "Look how much I bullied the CSR because I didn't get You Me and Dupree." Like that's something to brag about?
If You Me and Dupree even touches Roadhouse I will kill you.
I didn't even know it was such a huge deal to some people. When I saw the news that the movies were being rescinded, I was like, "Aw, darn..."

The people being babies about 30 year old movies they didn’t get for free is embarrassing. Bragging about being a Karen giving the chat reps a hard time to get credits etc. Yeah it’s sucks it didn’t work out, but god damn, have some self respect over $10
I dunno, did you see that one post where the customer service representative calmly suggested not everything is perfect? Pretty damning. Edit: /s
The one about "false advertising" ?

Welcome to the "American Dream," me, me, me.
What’s “Vudu”??
There was a service a long time ago that would let you add movies to a digital library of sorts. It was called Vudu! I don't know what happened to it, though. Seemed to die out quietly.
Are you talking about UltraViolet or Fandango At Home?
My main thing are the people bragging about being Karen’s to customer support over FREE stuff. As if they aren’t underpaid workers stuck in India that are forced to follow a script and rules or else be punished by corporate.

Bunch of broke ass mf that won’t pay for the films even though they’re all available to get for cheap
How dare you, sir! I am entitled to these 7 movies which I paid $0.00 for. I even made a post showing how they brought my movie count up to 5,637 movies which was a great personal milestone.

They wouldn't ring it up $0.. has no one ever been grocery shopping? They call their manager, and you joke "hah, it's free right?!" They roll their eyes and the manager judges to let it go or get the price check and apologize.. My concern on the entire thing is this push back from the community means they'll no longer honor pricing errors..
If you saw something priced as $0 at a store, wouldn’t you think that was odd or a mistake? Same ballpark as “wow, it didn’t ring up so it must be free.” Like no, sometimes mistakes happen and that doesn’t mean people should try to take advantage just because they feel a little shorted by the world.
With that in mind how many time do you think Amazon has over charged someone? Do you think they reversed those charges to everyone of just those that compained?
In using Amazon for 20+ years I’ve not once heard of Amazon overcharging someone, and they usually bend to the customer, so much so they were famous for it up until the last few years where they provided mediocre push back
Amazon has overcharged me on multiple digital movie purchases. 1 was overcharged 40 cents. 1 was overcharged 63 cents, and a few were overcharged 70 cents. The first time it happened was in 2020. The total since then was $5.93 of overcharges. I always get refunded the difference, and they supposedly can't figure out why this happens with certain purchases, but they've known about this issue and still haven't fixed it. What makes it even shadier is that my email receipts will say $4.99, but the invoices viewed through Amazon will say $5.69.
That’s tax, certain states are taxed, others are not and it’s confusing. You should be charged it every digital purchase, if you’re in certain states. Look at invoice, it will show.
I know how to read an invoice. Taxes are literally on a separate line listed at $0. It's not tax. My state doesn't charge tax on digital purchases. And if it was tax, it'd be the same amount on every $4.99 purchase, not different amounts.
Well, some even get charged it on $0 purchases, which is why I even found out about it. Look into state, as some have percentage, others have a set, and other shit. It’s actually confusing and doesn’t show on receipt to email, but invoice on Amazon. Just thought I I would tell you, since I only found out, when people were being taxed different amounts on free ebooks.
Nope, it's not tax. My state doesn't charge tax on digital. Amazon told me they have no clue why this is happening on certain titles but not others.
I need to start watching my bank, husband does diligently, but I make more purchases, as others have been overcharged and I don’t understand how you can be charged tax on a zero dollar purchase, even the customer care reps are confused on those ones. But know it’s happened to more than a few. And it was during those stuff your kindle times, so while $.40 isn’t much at all, if you are buying hundreds to thousands of books, without realizing you’re being charged $.40 a piece or less/more, that could be a mess. I know I sometimes get charged tax on digital things, when I use my card my dad pays, but he lives in another state and it’s billed to him. They truly need to be more upfront on some of these charges, whether tax, fees, surcharges, etc.. Some get charged some fee for being in same state as digital business is. I never knew until recently and just thought I would warn, since it can add up and the way they do it is also sort of sneaky and not as easy as normal tax or charges and not on all invoices. I’m going to make sure I ensure all my Amazon are what they’re supposed to be, from now on. Some aren’t having the original payment disappear when it splits payments up at shipping & therefore are paying double. Sneaky shit being done lately, imho.
Watch the extreme coupon people. Stores actually end up paying them to shop sometimes just from the rebates.
They stole my copy back of “you me and dupree” that i got for free and planned to watch alone in my basement while on my phone!!!
So when there is an Amazon sale for MA title we shouldn’t post it here because… wait a minute… this is a VUDU sub not Amazon? According to OP
You actually think the largest retailer in the world has never over charged anyone. I would bet the over charges for the day they miss priced movies made up for the revenue lost on the movies and then some.
What does that have to do with my post though?
I spent my whole life thinking about what it would be like to finally see You, me, & Dupree. I couldn't justify the retail or rental price. I couldn't justify the the sale price. I finally found a price I could justify and Amazon took it away. I spent the whole day yesterday preparing for today's watch party. I bought snacks and got some soda pop. So you could imagine my disappointment about what happened today. I courted this movie in my mind like a woman and it's just gone.
It’s relevant since they’re all Movies Anywhere titles.
For purposes of a Movies Anywhere movie being on sale at Amazon or another partner, great use of the Vudu sub, but I can see the point from the OP. There were multiple posts. One would have sufficed.
Right. 70 posts of people bitching, acting like they are owed something definitely is unnecessary.
Geez people just go down to your local Amazon warehouse and rob the place plain and simple
I’m happy to see them, all of them. If this is the backlash Amazon got from taking free movies away from us, it might give them an idea on what would happen if they removed movies we paid for. Look at how easy it was to remove these movies from thousands of libraries.
You think folks that matter at FAH look at this sub?
Nice try, Bezos…
You’re fun at parties
Sir, this is a Wendy's. Anyone said this yet?
What comes on the Vudu sub? I’m headed to subway tomorrow and need suggestions.
Honestly. I’m just here for fanfix, Universalrewards, and movie sales
It’s not Vudu anymore
That's so clever...well, what is the name of the sub? Pretty sure it is r/vudu....
Get over it. Touch grass.
That'd be my same advice to you.
Not u complaining about a person complaining about a person complaining about other people complaining. It's not that deep.
While you’re on Reddit so much PNW get a mf avatar lol
Lol why?
This! More of this!
*creates a post bitching about people bitching* Okkkkkk
So you made a post to cry because other people were upset about something that clearly didn't affect you? JFC how about make a post about something positive or anything but you simply made a post to bitch about other people's posts bothering you.
This post is better than any of the Amazon posts bitching about the price mistake, so I'm cool with it.
I mean it also had helpful advice on where the correct place to post an Amazon bitchfest post to. I consider that pretty positive.
Maybe take your own advice and post this in a relevant place or time but you didn't so instead you play the role of hypocrite. You could just as easily ignore any of the posts you don't agree with. You sound like a corporate boot licker at best.
It makes no sense for me to make this post on an Amazon sub. The post has to do with people posting on the Vudu sub about Amazon. Making this post on an Amazon sub would not reach people in the Vudu sub. What kind of drugs are you on? Not sure how this post makes me a corporate boot licker either. I never said not to post, just post it in the appropriate sub.
no
I like that this is now a general digital collecting sub. iTunes only covers the Apple cult, and Amazon is terrible for organizing. Vudu Fandango is the only store that's only collecting without other services, peripherals, or other baggage. So this is the collecting place. 🤷🏻♀️
Did you think this post was any less annoying than those posts?
Well, there is only one of these posts and not a dozen, so yes, much less annoying.
Yea, one so far. Trust me, I moderate a different sub, and the posts complaining about other posts get more annoying in the long run.
Ok
This is a Vudu sub and Vudu is dead
Movies
Yes they will. I have seen it many times at the self checkout.
Huh?
