I bought one, but Vudu tells me it's invalid. I had Newegg's chat rep file a trouble ticket.
I just redeemed one. Vudu asks you for your zip code when you redeem the gift card which I assume is an added security measure if credit cards are stolen. Could you have used a different zip code for your delivery address or credit card address?

No. I have successfully redeemed Vudu gift cards many times before, including from Newegg. I double-checked that the address in my Newegg profile is correct.
The Newegg chat rep filed a trouble ticket, but said that a response may take 2 days.

Someone in another forum suggested using a different browser. Inexplicably, that worked! I had been using Microsoft Edge. I tried Mozilla Firefox instead; there, the Vudu web site accepted my gift card successfully.
Had me until Newegg. Even clicking on their site seems to activate hourly emails from them that take time to cancel. I can't support those practices even for a deal.
Is this supposed to be helpful? Just that comment, no anecdotal evidence as to why?
To Vudu
" I bought a $15 gift card on XXXXX with PayPal intending to use it tonight
XXXXX took 4 days to arrive in my email XXXX
When it finally arrived, the gift card number did not work on VUDU. I tried multiple times, very carefully to type in the number correctly.That card does not work on your site or not the right gift card--or something"
VUDU'S REPLY (below, short version),
"please provide us the following information"
• The purchaser's email address:
• The recipient's email address (if it was a gift):
• The shipping information (if it was a physical gift card):
• The order confirmation number:
• The amount of the gift card:
• The date of purchase of the gift card:
Once we receive this information, we will escalate your case to our higher level of support for further review."
i did what VUDU asked. nothing happen. Went to Paypal they got to the bottom of it and got the $15
I also have a Fandango card of $25 that was a gift from 3 XMASSes ago. number did not work! got it on my desk like a paper weight.

The deal is from May 6th through May 12th, but Kroger's gift cards have sold out within a couple of days in the past.
