If you drop a few bucks to rent a movie through Amazon, Google, YouTube, or Apple and quickly realize that the movie sucks, it’s a waste of your money.
But another company in the movie streaming space, Vudu, just launched a nifty feature that lets you ditch a movie and switch to something else without paying again.
Called Rental Redo, the option lets you leave a movie within the first half hour — plenty of time to confirm that what you’re watching doesn’t deserve an extra minute of your precious time.
“Rent without worry because Rental Redo is like having a gift certificate for your movie,” Vudu said in a blog post announcing the new feature. “If you decide within the first 30 minutes that the rental isn’t for you, we’ll give you a ‘replay’ so you can find another movie that suits your mood.”
To get your credit, you’ll need to call or email Vudu’s customer care team within 24 hours of hitting the stop button on a movie. The credit should be in your account within 24 hours of making contact, although it won’t be given if you’ve downloaded the movie to your device. Also, Rental Redo can only be performed once per movie.
Rental Redo allows you to give up up to four rented movies per month, but if you regularly hit that limit, either your movie selection method needs revision or you have unreasonably high expectations when it comes to the movies.
The new feature from California-based Vudu seems like a great idea and could help the company convince more moviegoers to use its service over competitors like those mentioned above.
As an added incentive to use its streaming platform, Vudu has also launched a price promise feature, so if you find a movie from a competing service with a lower rent, it will add a credit to your account for the price difference.
Vudu’s movie library can be a useful place to explore when your subscription services — if you’ve signed up for any — aren’t delivering the goods. Rental Redo and the new promised price make it even more attractive.
