    Instawatch Indiana Jones info (this is important)

    The first three Indiana Jones movies are Instawatch eligible titles BUT you could run into problems when you buy these films in your local Walmart. I did. The problem has been figured out.

    Some Walmart stores are covering the barcode on the Indiana Jones discs with a sticker containing a DIFFERENT bar code. This different barcode will show an alternate UPC number on your receipt. If you scan that receipt into savings catcher, it will not recognize the movie as an instawatch eligible title. If there is not sticker covering the barcode, and it is scanned from the original barcode on the disc, then Savings Catcher *WILL* recognize it as an Instawatch title.

    So what do you do if your local Walmart store is only selling the discs covered with the UPC sticker? Well I'd ask for a manager, explain the situation and request to open the disc BEFORE they scan it and allow them to scan the original code rather than the sticker code.

    Fair warning -- the orignal code will cause the price to be 2.00 higher. The sticker code scans the disc up at just under $13.00 where as the original UPC rings it up as 15.00. Seeing as the interior code in the Indiana Jones discs is for Itunes only and those titles are not eligable for disc to digital, I think it's worth paying the extra 2.00 for a vudu version of the film.

    Not sure why anyone hasn't responded to your post, but thank you for this information -- it is appreciated. I have re-posted the information you have provided over at Blu-ray.com a couple of times since others have been buying the Indiana Jones movies and reporting back that they aren't getting the titles added via InstaWatch. Thank you.

      No problem! This was a headache for me for about a week. I figured if I could prevent anyone else from the hassle that I should do so

        Walmart covers up a lot of products' original UPC code with their own UPC label.

        It has always played havoc with me when I am trying to compare prices while I am in the store with Amazon. Instead of being able to scan in the UPC with my Amazon app, I wind up having to manually enter it.

          In this instance it's messing with their own program!!

            Does anyone know if the Indiana Jones collection work with Instawatch? I would like to purchase all four movies but, would rather get the collection instead of the individual blurays.

              I'd like to know this as well. I'm not much of an IJ fan, but my wife definitely wants the set. Would prefer to not have to buy them individually.

                What are the UPCs for the one's that gave you InstaWatch copies? Thanks in advance.

                  Raiders - 003242913494
                  Temple - 003242913496
                  Crusade -003242913498

                  These are the UPC codes that *DO* work with Instawatch.

                  The following UPC codes *DO NOT* work:
                  003242920235
                  003242920237
