[quote name='digitalbabe']Hi All-Right now the coupon promotions for Disney new release Blu-Rays are usually available by entering the UPC from the DVD version into your "My Account" Disneymovierewards.com website. The Disney Upgrade to Blu site points there, because the Monsters coupon was one of the promos that gave you x towards the Blu-Ray. However, for the future, as the upgrade site shows when you 1st visit that website, their plan is to allow you a few options of either trading in your dvd, or taking it to a retailer, and getting x credit. Other promos will continue to have the coupon sites go live, so you can print coupons. Many options were considered, and logistics discussed for different scenarios. I checked with the facilitator, and they are a bit behind schedule launching it, but hope to have it be live within the next few months.
As for the Rewards, yes they won't give away the farm, as other studios, credit cards, etc etc, will not either. I don't have kids, but parents enjoy the double point days (one may be coming up again in Dec), because they can enter codes and redeem for shirts, posters, etc. If you visit the movies with kids, and buy many Disney DVD's, as many parents do, this is popular, and more of an extra perk. I and many others have passed on that it would be neat to have some adult gifts, for those interested, and lower point requirements for BD's, but obviously the final decision is not in our hands. In addition, the Blu-Ray Club is now live (separate program), but again, it's more geared towards those that are not hunting for the best deal in the likes of recent UP/Monster deals for $1/each etc. We're in the minority-most people walk into a B&M store or order online without surfing several forums first.
Hopefully once the full program to trade dvd's for BD's goes live, we'll have a few options. And for those that don't have SD's, but would like to purchase the Blu-Rays the coupons will hopefully continue to be available. The last few promos were very popular, per their feedback, so I can't imagine they won't continue them.[/QUOTE]
I guess we will have to wait & see what Disney decides to do. But if it's like the Monsters Inc coupon it can't be that bad, save $8 for just putting in a UPC code. The only thing I ask is if they would require us to trade in our dvd copy that they keep doing the dvd/blu combo pack at least cause I do still want dvd copies since I only have one blruray player & not everybody I know has one either. The digital copy is very nice as well. I feel that having all three together makes for a great value.
