    I still would like a definitive way to know what is and isn't IW. If there is a difference in store vs online to know that as well.

    This way a comparison can be made if things aren't as expected.

    ​​​I suspect there may be a Google doc somewhere but that is user supported and not official. I've tried using the Walmart website and it isn't clear.

      Felipe: what?s the purpose of this particular forum? I was hoping we would list the titles we purchased that are not working IW for us and hopefully you would be able to add them to our account , I can provide you with my receipts for proof if need be ? SOme of these titles were purchased last year when They came out. Some of the titles I can rebuy and return the first one i our cavers but I would like to avoid that
      some of the titles I purchased note than 90 days ago I cannot rebuy and return

        That's where customer care can help you if you did not receive your IW eligible movies. Please note that not all studios and not all UPCs of the same movie are IW eligible. Eligibility is determined by the studio.

          That's great to know - it may lead to understanding why online purchases of IW titles aren't delivering the IW email to buyers. Because people buying those titles at Walmart.com are not getting the IW email. Perhaps an issue at Walmart.com? Could VUDU reach out to Walmart.com and check those specific titles? Might see a pattern.

            I know that there can be different UPC codes involved and such I?ve called customer care and honestly I don?t gerbil anywhere,
            today I returned the movie ?a private war? not realizing I purchased but it a second time because I didn?t not get IW the first time I purchased but it online
            when I returned it I returned the second purchase a and lost my digital movie. The first one is past its return date. It stink so because when I first purchased ornament online IW wasn?t active and now it is amen now I lost the movoe
            so Ian there anything that can be done about that? This isn?t also similar to my knee mlvies over purchased that online previously they weren?t IW but now they are and I can?t go back and rebuy them as their return date hasn?t expired. Isn?t there a way to refresh an online order the way I can rescan my in store receipt that way the movie can be added IW ?

              Please contact customer care and create a ticket with them so they can take a look at your issue. This is something that cannot be resolved on this forum.

                Instead of making a statement this time, I will ask a question.

                How do we know an online Walmart.com title is Instawatch?

                In store most have a sticker. Without a sticker it is pleasant surprise when they do have Instawatch.

                  I called Walmart.com last night and while the man I spoke to tried really hard he couldn?t find a way to refresh or help me with movies I purchased online that are not showing up IW so he directed me to vudu

                  The girl I spoke to at vudu tried to find some way also but her boss basically said that when I purchased the movies there wasn?t an IW promotion attached so now that there is IW They can?t go back and add the movie, I would have to rebuy the movie now to get IW.

                  It?s unfortunate because I don?t need 2 of the same movie and also if I purchase in store I can always refresh the receipt which I explained to her , there should be a way to do that with online. Some of the movies newly IW i purchased more than 90 days ago so I can?t rebuy them and return the other. Such as:




                  Constantine city of demons

                  Freedom fighters the ray

                  A private war

                    Note that with a lot of recent releases - such as the ones listed - there are not a lot of UPC or Studios involved. These are new releases with a UPC for its BR release and UPC for 4K release. These UPC have worked in-store, but ... again ... not if purchased online. So ... there's an issue.

                              It appears as if new online orders stopped working around June 28. No new IW titles have worked via online purchase since that date.

                              VUDU?

                                I looked back and had online Instawatch work on my last order in mid July. It does look like one title missed, so I'll have to file a ticket for that.

                                Vudu has gotten better about following up on failed IW tickets. Screenshot everything you can to make it easier for CS because front line CS can't do anything. They have to escalate.
