Get three free movies from Movies Anywhere
Here's how to get your digital copies of Happy Feet, The Martian and The Fate of the Furious.
You'll definitely have happy feet (and Happy Feet) when you add these three movies to your library for free.
Words can't adequately express how much I love Movies Anywhere. It's the service that links all your movie accounts, making all your movies available, well, anywhere.
To celebrate its one-year anniversary, Movies Anywhere is offering three free movies when you connect at least two new digital retailers. And if you already have all six available retailers synced to your account, you get the freebies, too! Watch your inbox for an email to that effect. I received mine last night and successfully redeemed the accompanying code for the three movies.
Movies Anywhere is designed to merge your Apple iTunes , FandangoNow, Google Play, Microsoft Movies & TV, Prime Video and Vudu movie libraries.
Once you sync those services, nearly every movie you own should be accessible across all of them. In other words, you'll find iTunes purchases in your Google Play account, Prime purchases in your Vudu account and so on.
This is particularly great if you own, say, a Fire TV or Roku streamer, because now you can access your iTunes movies there.
Movies Anywhere offers apps for most streaming and mobile platforms, but those apps aren't even necessary thanks to the cross-pollination of your libraries.
