Q: Getting error "this code has already been redeemed" but not seeing the digital copies in itunes
Digital copies of movies are such a PITA, either they use fraudulently small fonts to indicate they will expire, only indicate an expiration date INSIDE the package and/or other tricks to get you to break the seal only to discover you don't own that thing you bought afterall. Not sure if this is a related issue or not.
I have a couple "redeem" codes from blurays I purchased, and due to some issues I was having with itunes at the time I never got around to redeeming them and they don't show up in my "Movies" folder. I just found the codes today and tried them, and am getting the message on both: "this code has already been redeemed".
Tried calling "itunes support" which directed me to some static page at expresslane.apple.com, which turned out to be useless but pointed me here. I just want to know the date these were redeemed, and whether or not they were redeemed on my account or elsewhere (which would be a big issue). A third possibility is that the studios once again did some flim-flam to be sure I wouldn't be able to watch the movie that I bought, maybe expiring the codes within nanoseconds of provision due to some unnecessary redemption "time limit" they imposed?
Ideas?
