Redeem codes from Flixster

Flixster is a movie and TV on-demand service, owned by Warner Bros (WB), that's shutting down in summer 2019.

You can redeem Flixster codes on Google Play to get your entitlements. Be mindful that:

  • Codes will not redeem 4K copies. All copies are in HD unless only SD is available.
  • Flixster language versions for audio tracks and subtitles are not used for matching purposes. Any language version that's available on Flixster, but not on Google Play, will not be supported.
  • Movie bundles are not supported. Flixster bundles must be split into their constituent parts. For example, if you have a three-movie collection, you'll receive three eCopy codes, one for each movie in the collection.
  • We do not support TV shows at this time.
  • If you get an alphanumeric error code when you try to redeem your code, contact us with the GET HELP button below.
  • If you have problems when you try to redeem your code from Flixster, take a look at their website for help. You can also contact support at WBDigitalCustomerCare@warnerbros.com.

Problems using your gift card, gift code or promo code

Can't redeem your code
If you can't redeem your code, you can try to fix problems with gift cards and promo codes. If that doesn't work, get more help.
If you get an error message, contact us.
Problems with Play country
To use a gift card or promotional code, the country of your Google Play account must match the country where the gift card or promotional code is offered. If you get a message saying that Google Play gift cards aren't valid in your country/region, learn how to change your Google Play country.
Request a refund
We can only issue a refund to the person who purchased the gift. See more information on refunds for Google Play gifts.
Purchased an item with a different account

It's not possible to share or transfer content between accounts on Google Play, even if you own both accounts. If you have multiple accounts on your device, make sure that you sign in to the account that you want to use before you complete your purchase. 

If you’ve bought an app on the wrong account, contact the app developer. They may be able to refund your purchase so that you can buy it again on the account that you want to use.

Note: You can share apps and digital content with your family with Google Play Family Library. 

Use your gift

Redeemed gifts and some promo codes appear as part of your Google Play balance. This can be used for many purchases on Google Play (and purchases on YouTube in some countries).
