Cordcutting

I made 2 gift card purchases from Best Buy. The first one was fine the first use of the second one was fine, but when I went back it would not accept my order without my current credit card information. It was a $4.99 rental with an $18.49 credit. The idea of a gift card was so I didn't have to give out my CC information. After contacting them they said they couldn't help me so unless I want to give them my info I have to wave bye bye to my money. THIS IS NOT RIGHT!

Cinemanow was once a great service when it was owned by Bestbuy. The new owners of Cinemanow suck. The service, the website sucks. I cannot get my library to load, i cannot get my ultraviolets to properly load my owned movies. Cinemanow is CACA!. You are better off using VUDU.

I received email giving me three HD movies free as a new Roku customer. I have spent two hours cursing and running up and down the stairs to get new activation codes because YOU CANNOT REGISTER FOR CINEMANOW! I get a pink! Every time I try to enter my password. When I try to reset it, it sends me yet another email link telling me my username is my email which starts the vicious cycle all over again as it reads "you may need to use a username rather than email" and gives me pink error notices every time I enter a password. After several attempts it just reads SYSTEM ERROR. After reading the reviews here, I am glad we did not rent anything as I would be REALLY angry if I had to PAY for this madness. I simply won't use this site on my Roku. Too bad as Roku does not have up to date movies. :( My dinner is cold, my temper is up and I only relieved that none of this cost me anything but my time and a hot meal.

For months I could not play back my purchased movies and now my library is empty. What happen? How do we get our movies back?

From The HD Report Website

The CinemaNow service no longer exists in any real capacity. All of the companys employees have now been laid off and no one seems to know if payments will be made to the necessary services in order to allow the platform to operate again.

FilmOn in its year and a half of ownership did next to nothing to support the product and regularly failed to meet even the most minimal of promises to third parties which were integral to the success of CinemaNow. The dwindling amount of content, as well as UVs departure front he service are all a result of FilmOn refusing to invest any resources into the company outside of the labor costs of the exising employees who struggled to provide a service worthy of customers time and money.

London-based FilmOn (under the umbrella of FOTV), provides over 1,000 free streaming channels as well as premium and on demand content.

The disrespect for CinemaNows paying customers and their content by FilmOn is truly disgusting and sayes a great deal for the integrity of this company. Sad.

I have had the most worst experience with Cinema now! If anyone is think of renting from this movie company, you best keep a close eye on you credit card. 3 times I have been charged for movies that say they are unavailable or don't load. Then when this does happen you have to go to your bank, get a statement and uploaded to a case number they provide you. When that's done you have to wait 5-10 business days to gt a refund after they review it. But that's not the final thing if they feel like giving you a code for everything they gave put you through, you best make sure that its not charging you credit card. Because it has happened to me also. Got the code and then they say, sorry it should work. Then you try everything they ask you iPad, computer, ps3 and it still doesn't work. They will say we are sorry try again later. But then you call you credit card to learn you coupon code has some how charged your credit card. Then you get to go back to the bank get a new statement and resend it. Now your not just waiting to get refunded from the first time, but the second also. Then you call and are told the supervision is to busy to speak with you. I have learned my lesson after today and thought I would let everyone know to say them pain I am going through now.
