I don't even know if I have anything on my FandangoNOW account but I decided to merge them anyway. Well I get the verification link and no matter how fast I click on it after it arrives in my email I get a "link has expired, reenter your email" error. Good start guys.

Guys I think all this is doing is changing your fandangonow account to a vudu account... :-\

That's part of it. The merge also moved a few non-Movies Anywhere movies I had on FandangoNow to be in my Vudu account.

I was not able to log into my Fandango account and had emailed them to reset the password. My response from Fandango.... none!

I only use Fandango on my xbox, so I have limited movies there.

Vudu was my favorite for movies, but now they are having some restrictions associated with browser types and what will display UHD. I paid extra for UHD and cannot watch them. If I would have known that, I might have given more money to Amazon... not my first choice as they get so much already. Need to spread the wealth around.

I like being able to use the digital credits on Amazon but their whole Prime Video UI sucks. I think you're still unable to see if a movie is MA compatible??

Has anyone who already has Vudu and FandangoNOW, with both linked to MA, tried to merge to a separate Vudu account?

I actually have 2 Vudu accounts, from the early days when they were offering a number of free movies for signing up. One is mostly inactive and not linked to any other services (MA, UV, etc)

My main Vudu account is where most of my digital purchases and digital redemptions occurred, and this one is linked to MA.

I have a FandangoNOW account as well and it is linked to the same MA account, but have made very few purchases through them. During the UV closure, I linked both my main Vudu and FandangoNOW accounts to UV to end up with a "duplicate" of my digital collection.

Now, if I merge my FandangoNOW account with my main Vudu account, I essentially end up back with a single digital repository ...

... but if I merge my FandangoNOW account with my inactive Vudu account, I keep a digital duplicate. This would not be linked to MA. I wonder if I would lose anything from my MA account if I attempted this ... even if it is just the few MA purchases from FandangoNOW.

who knows really. you would think that they would verify the names of both vudu and fandango accounts. with both of them linked to ma it just raises more questions. I was wondering if this is possible too since I only have a few non ma movies on my fandangonow, since most of them will just replicate anyways I was wondering if I could link my fandangonow to a family members vudu account that barely has any movies.

I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my five OTHER vudu accounts that I created before the demise of UV which allowed the sharing of movies.. Each has over 2000+ movies and tv shows in it. I wonder if there is any way to sell off these other accounts?

I did the merge steps but never got an email for it finishing after 12 hours waiting and the 30% isn't applying to anything… how can I check it finished? My FandangoNow order history is all in Vudu now but my movies were all MA so can't check anything else.

Thanks OP! Love how I have to learn about this from SD rather than from Fandango/Vudu themselves...

The handling of this "move" sucks in my opinion. Most of digital movie collection (that is not with a MoviesAnywhere compatible studio) is in Vudu, and Vudu really has the best relational database that connects actors, directors, screenwriters, and producers with/through all of their movies. However, I do not recall everything that I purchased on FandangoNow and I would like to check that out before I do this move. Unfortunately, that is impossible now. You can only choose to accept the "move" or not. It would be nice if I could access titles in my FandangoNow account before deciding to move them.

Don't think so because they advertised disc to digital it in the move email they sent out a couple of weeks ago.

I got 2 emails today, one from Vudu and the other from Fandango, check your email address on file for both and make sure you don't have your communication preferences turned off or going to spam folder? Dontknow
