I got this email too. Had I known this, i could have redeemed a few iffy movies a few months past to get rid of my 38000 points.

I heard about this site way too late to late to start the free movie redemption. LOL

Cardsfan111

Yep, that's quite a few you've got to use up.

I just have 6-7k, I think. It's interesting the line in the e-mail about the extensive selection available in June. I'm likely to just wait until then and hope for the best.

IDrinkMolson

I just redeemed 9, sitting at 36.7k now. I've mostly only been redeeming for 4k in the past, but I'll take anything now.
I couldn't log in when I got the email today, must've been getting hammered.
My points sat for a few years since I forgot about them. I forgot last month there were a couple of HD I was going to get.

DJariya

I also got that email. Too bad it's getting canceled. But, I had a feeling the program was getting downgraded. They killed the ability to upload movie tickets to earn points and also killed the trivia games, watching trailers and polls that also helped earn points.

I have close to 6,500 points. I'll just try to use it up when they post the final June titles.

TheBang

I had 4700 points I had completely forgotten about for years. I rounded up a bunch of inserts lying around, and now I have 10K points. Didn't see anything I liked though, so I guess I'll have to hope the expanded June selection has enough interesting stuff.

I wonder how long until Sony Rewards gets canned? Maybe not as soon, since it services more than just movie purchases and rewards. I entered a bunch of codes lying around for that too last night, and now I have two free movies pending on that also.

lwhy?

Not many great ones. You can still earn points until June 30th. You need to redeem all your points by July 31st.

Just an FYI - Dragonheart Vengeance and Cop and a Half: New Recruit both redeem as the first Dragonheart and the Burt Reynolds Cop and a Half. I mean it's they're not great but at least those aren't DTV cash ins.

TheBang

All right, well, I have 10,000 points to burn and there are only a few decent choices, so I selected Dragonheart as one of them. I hope they don't claw it back later and "fix" the mistake.

Also, here's a browsing hint. On the Rewards page, click the Filter Rewards in the upper-right corner, and choose "Digital Movie". Then it will load all of them at once, and you don't have to keep clicking "View More"

End of June Apparently as they closed up much faster than Universal.

b2net

Looks like the batch they put out in June is it. I swear I thought I read July would get either more or be different. Sitting with about 7500 points. Kinda wish they'd bring back other stuff that was available before. There are a lot in this batch that are meh.

b2net

Wiped out almost all of the remaining points on movies I'd likely never have picked up otherwise.

Used the last little bit on the download printables for the grands. Yet after downloading it seems what a waste of points for the printables. Tons of full color pictures. No way we are burning that much ink, even printing in Grayscale.

Only other thing more not worth it was the picture backgrounds. Got none of those. Sad to see another reward program go.

DJariya

Sadly this rewards program ended on a complete thud. Used most of my remaining points on stuff that I wouldn’t even consider buying normally. What a waste.

lwhy?

It was always June for the final batch of rewards. I posted about the closure in the first post of this thread and they said:

It's too bad the majority of the June movies were awful.

TheBang

Last chance to redeem any points you might still have in your Universal Rewards account for movie codes (before July 31). You can pick any movie to redeem on Universal Rewards; it doesn't matter. The code that is generated that you receive can be used on Movies Anywhere for any movie from the list. Those codes are good through the end of September.

PhantomStranger

Well, if anyone has duplicate MA codes from this Rewards program they want to share, go right ahead.
