Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Looks like Disney Movie Rewards is about to get overhauled, including new rewards, etc.

Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
That sounds great. Why do I get the feeling that all of the changes will suck?
|
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Because Coke announced something similar and afterward their program really sucked.
|
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
DMR was pretty dry already, so I’m cautiously optimistic this new program will give us something better. |
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Hopefully there is still enough product to make all the points many of us have still valuable.
I do remember years back they were going to shut down DMR or expire points or something. Then all of a sudden it stayed active. |
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
I seem to remember when it first started it claimed the points would expire by a certain date, then the date moved a couple times, then they removed the expiration notice.

Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
It's probably going to be exactly like Marvel Insider. Over there they have you do tasks like read articles and watch videos to earn points, and you can redeem them for things. https://www.marvel.com/insider
I think Lego's VIP program moved to a similar system recently too. |
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Yeah, I got an email from Marvel too:
We wanted to let you know of some upcoming changes to the way you access your Marvel account. Starting on 8/27/2019, you will no longer be able to log in to Marvel sites and apps using your username xxxxxxxxx - this includes accessing: Marvel.com Marvel Insider Marvel Unlimited - App and Web Marvel Comics App Marvel Digital Comic Shop Marvel Print Subscriptions To access your Marvel account beginning on 8/27/2019 you will need to login by using the email address associated with your account, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Additionally, your Marvel account will now be part of The Walt Disney Company login system. This will allow you to use your Marvel account across multiple Disney sites and apps including: Star Wars, ESPN, ABC and more. Since your Marvel account email is already associated with an existing Disney account, starting on 8/27/2019 you will login to your Marvel account using the same email/password as your Disney account credentials. The best part about the new Disney Insider is they say points will be given for digital movie purchases again. If they didn't make this change, getting points was going to be hard to continue. |
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
I'm glad I burned through most of my points during that last fire sale they had. I can't remember the last time that a rewards program actually changed for the better. Best Buy, Starbucks, Gamestop, etc sucked after the changes.
|
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
I have enough points for the studio tour, just need to find time to go. Hope they don't get rid of that. Remember when The Wherehouse had a points program for renting movies, I racked up a ton and then never got around to redeeming them before they canned it!
|
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
I just bought so many discs off there it's not even funny, and I still have points to go. I would've enjoyed the studio tour, but it's at Disneyland only (for obvious reasons), and we're heading to World this winter...
|
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
I just used up most of my points. I've been a little more active in using them anyway after the last time Disney was potentially changing things in their DMR program - not to mention their competitor Sony stopping with DVDs and Blu-rays with their points program. (I don't even know if Sony even has a program anymore.) I agree that generally when they change these points programs it's rarely for the better on the customer side. I suspect they'll be offering more digital movies as rewards which doesn't interest me.
The movie rewards program was nice. It may still be nice after the change. i guess we'll all see soon enough. |
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Yeah, I guess there’s a small chance the point system won’t get worse, or maybe even slightly better, but I’m going to go ahead and burn as many of my points as I can. That should get me most of the disc rewards I want.
But I wonder if I should redeem some/all of my thousands of unredeemed points before the change? |
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Based on this email, I’d definitely hold onto them. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...d482f230e.jpeg |
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
I share the concern Disney may do away with physical media in their points system similar to what Sony did with their system.
|
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Doc McStuffins puffy stickers as far as the eye can see.
|
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
As far as I am concerned, they can cast DMR into the Lake of Fire.
|
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Nah, as bad as it’s been, the new service will either be the same bad stuff, or actually be better. Bar is low for improvement. It wouldn’t take much to make it a lot better. Besides, I still have 21k points to get rid of. |
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Was there a delay in this coming back up? |
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Yes. Apparently it's not ready for primetime yet.
|
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Makes you wonder how the streaming platform will go come launch.

Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Of course it does. That’s why I said it. |
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Then I guess you should have said "makes me wonder".
|
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Everyone wonders. Everyone. Except maybe you. Maybe. |
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Oh, and the new site is up. Weak offerings on point redemptions so far, but I’m guessing they’re still updating. Looks like there’s an app coming soon as well. |
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Looks like you’ll be able to link your account to Atom, Fandango, Movies Anywhere, and Regal. Each link you connect gives 25 points. |

Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Going to miss them free movies

Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
So I'm trying to enter my Toy Story 4 code and it looks like it's not able to do that yet. Could it be my browser? Anyone else have any luck with this?
|
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
I tried entering a couple of codes Monday evening and neither worked. I sent off an email to DMR but haven't heard back. I don't recall, but I don't think they've sent an announcement email, so they probably are aware of the bugs and are trying to resolve them before the "grand reopening" emails are sent.
|
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
I had an issue too and I submitted an email with the code. They asked me to confirm my name, birthday and email address and they added them manually.
|
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Make sure you read what the gift cards are in detail. I went to purchase Fandango now $6 gift card to purchase a movie. That gift card is only to rent a movie. The $12 Fandango gift card is just to buy movie tickets.
Only good thing might be the disney store gift cards. |
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
I entered three codes successfully but one (Queen of Katie) came back as invalid. Because it seems to be a known issue, I guess I’ll wait and try again before e-mailing them. |
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Has anyone had issues getting points from movies seen in theatres?
I can't even get into my account at the moment. |
Re: Disney Movie Insiders (RIP DMR)
Man they have almost nothing to get with your points.
I get the exclusive Christmas ornament every year but there is nothing like that now |

I can't even get into my account at the moment. I contacted them through the site, and they asked for a copy of my purchase email. The added the points as a bonus. I just saw Frozen II last week, bought tix via Fandango and they posted automatically this time. But still never got the Disney email saying points are coming. I saw some people are saying some code sheets from movies are not working all of the time either. I have a few I'm holding off on. |
