So You Thought You Owned Those Digital Movies, Huh? How to Convert Your Walmart Vudu Account (and Save Yourself a Headache)
Ah, the convenience of the modern age! We buy movies with a click, watch them on a whim, and never have to worry about that pesky neighbor "borrowing" your copy of "The Room" (though, let's be honest, maybe they should). But what happens when the digital movie gods decide to shake things up?
That's where you, intrepid movie hoarder, and Walmart's little-known fling with Vudu come in. If you used your Walmart login to access your Vudu movie library, you might be staring at a confusing message about a "conversion" and wondering what happened to your evenings spent yelling at bad CGI with friends. Fear not, film fanatic! Converting your account is easier than finding a decent bargain bin DVD these days.
Why the Heck Do I Need to Convert Anyway?
Remember that awkward high school relationship you swore would last forever? Yeah, Walmart and Vudu were kind of like that. They went their separate ways, and now Vudu needs you to, well, get your own place (metaphorically speaking). Don't worry, Walmart isn't taking your movies hostage. This is all about making sure you can keep watching "Sharknado 3" uninterrupted.
The Great Conversion Caper: It's Easier Than You Think
Here's the good news: the conversion process is about as complicated as making microwave popcorn. Here's what you need to do:
- Head over to the Vudu website or app. Don't worry, it's not a rickety old website with flashing ads (although, that might be kind of entertaining).
- You'll likely be prompted to convert your account. If not, there should be an option somewhere in your account settings. Click that bad boy like you just found the remote in the couch cushions.
- Create a new Vudu account. This is where you'll choose a username and password. Make sure it's something memorable, unless you want to repeat this whole ordeal next time you forget your login (we've all been there).
- Sit back, relax, and enjoy your movie library! Voila! Your movies should all be there, ready for your next viewing marathon.
Pro Tip: If you're having trouble converting your account, Vudu customer support is actually pretty awesome (unlike that automated phone system you just battled). They can help you out and get you back to watching movies in no time.
So There You Have It!
Now you can continue your lifelong quest to collect every single Nicolas Cage movie ever made. Or, you know, watch whatever movies tickle your fancy. The important thing is, your movie library is safe and sound. Now go forth and conquer your movie backlog, champion!
