Out of those on sale movies listed, many are available in 4K format, So, why buy in HDX format ?
I made a sortable/filterable Google Sheet that lists all of the titles & indicates if they're HDX-only or if UHD is available. Might be useful: https://docs.google.com/spreadshe...sp=sharing
74 titles total; 49 are available in 4K UHD outside of the deal.

Anyone able to find a source for discount Fandango / Vudu gift cards? As of late last year, you can use regular Fandango cards for Fandango at Home / Vudu purchases, so the Newegg deal was the way to go.

However, the Newegg Fandango $25 for $20 deal is dead unfortunately, so I'm back to looking for more.

Almost all of these are D2D for $2. Ace Ventura and Desperado are also D2D, but are $5 conversions from DVD to HDX. A few others like that, but I don't know off the top of my head. I wonder if Fandango will upgrade these to 4K for free after purchase like they've done for a few HDX deals recently.
Has anyone ever confirmed that FaH upgrades D2D purchases? I've had many upgraded HDX purchases, but I don't think I've ever seen them upgrade D2D to 4K. As such, I usually do D2D for movies without a 4k release. That at least leaves the possibility they upgrade HDX licenses. Probably worth it for $1 more for stuff that really benefits from 4K.

10% off $50+ directly through FAH: https://athome.fandango.com/gift-cards
The only other one I know of currently is 20% cashback on a certain site I'm not sure will get censored here. So you pay full price for the gift card but get 20% back in "points" or "bucks."
In terms of the D2D upgrades, I've not seen any evidence of D2D upgrades. Maybe they happen, but I don't know for sure. I'd say you're much more likely to get an upgrade buying through Mix & Match than D2D.

I purchased 5 titles yesterday - and Fandango upgraded 3 of the titles to 4K this morning! Was very surprised it was that quick

Which ones, if you don't mind my asking? There are at least 10 films I'm interested in on this list. A handful I will probably purchase D2D for $2 since there's no potential for a 4K upgrade.

Alpha, A Few Good Men, and Hook all upgraded to 4K the very next day. I also got Click and Stand By Me - they remained HDX.

Kroger now has $42.50 for a $50 Vudu or Fandango gift card (both are usable on FAH). So 15% off $50 increments. 20% is usually the sweet spot, but 15% is still good.

EDIT: SD is messing with the links. giftcards.kroger.com Vudu $50 (limit 2) Fandango $50 (limit 3)

Looks like you have to specifically add the cards from their promo page, but the 15% off is working. Thanks!

Thanks! Click and Stand by Me don't have UHD availability currently, just HDX, so it looks like they upgraded every purchase for you that has a current UHD release.

Edit:
I bought the 5 Underworld movies, along with American Hustle, Black Hawk Down, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Hellboy and Starship Troopers. I haven't seen an immediate upgrade to 4k with any yet, but I'll update on that in a few days.

On this possible 4k upgrade, I think you're all being played. There's no policy so you just buy your movies and hope it gets it. Some movies get it and some do not. Maybe even some people get the upgrade on a certain movie but others don't on the same movie. Since there's no set standards, they can do whatever they want and you can't do a thing about it.

Personally, this is BS and I'm not going to fall into their game. At least Apple has a policy that works the same for everyone and every movie.

This is a good deal for just HD purchases but IMO it's not worth the extra anxiety hoping to get 4k upgrades out of this.

I agree. I was sure I bought the movies with this deal, I came back to check realizing I didn't, then I started adding movies again than I remembered the movies are listed as 4K UHD when you click on them, but the bundle gives you only HDX.
Really not a good deal in my opinion.
I can understand if the movie is Only available in HDX, but what the heck of the movie is already UHD why sell me HDX?
Unless you are buying to watch movies on cellphone or tablets or old HD TVs.

Someone on Reddit claimed to have received 4K upgrades for the Resident Evil collection, and someone else claimed to have received 4K upgrades for the Underworld movies. They received e-mails.

Please keep us updated if you do get upgrades. Unfortunately, I have movies from each collection using D2D so I won't be able to buy them again as HDX, but those are the only ones I want in 4K. Big Grin
