Unfortunately it doesn't let you create a new account and link it unless you have a valid purchase in the past two weeks. So I guess we have to buy this deal, redeem it and only then create an account.
I did not realize I had already (at some time in the past) link a Universal account with my MA, but when signing up for a new Universal account, I happened upon this also. The only problem I have, is I have no idea what email address was used for Universal, so while my MA is linked to Universal for Rewards, I can't log into Universal! Ugh...
I have a universal reward program registered but it won't let me log in to link my MA account to it, citing I need to validate with a purchase. How do you get around this bug?
Edit: Had to create a new account and link my MA account to it at registration. After that, I made the purchase. Once I have Universal movies registered on MA, they should flow to UR.
Let's see if that works.
That's my situation, too. Can't log into Universal with what I think was my login, even after resetting PW. But my MA and Universal are already linked, so I just need to get into Universal somehow.

I ran into this problem too, but you can start the account sign up process first & then after purchasing it go back and finish signing up to link it.

Do you know how long the purchase takes to register from a linked MA account to the UR account that is in the registration phase?
I registered my new account, linked it to MA, purchased from grub, redeemed the code on MA. All that happened 15 mins ago but my UR account still throws the error.
Do the titles show up individually in vudu/itunes, or does it show up as a "collection" that you have to click to then select the individual movies? Thanks!

Whatever I do, I'm not able to create a new universal rewards account. The system is so buggy. I went through the purchase and redeemed it in movies anywhere. But when I try to create a new account, in the end a banner comes up on top saying 'Snap! There is a a problem. Please try again'. The banner disappears. I'm still able to continue and link the account with movies anywhere. Movies anywhere just says 'accounts already linked'. But when I go back and try to log into myuniversalrewards, with the new credentials I cannot. It keeps saying I need to create new account.

You should link the Universal All-Access Rewards [myuniversalrewards.com] account to your Movies Anywhere before purchasing these films to earn points.
Otherwise, there's no real way to track your purchases after the fact if you redeemed your code.
