To be eligible for the Screen Pass, you will have to purchase any eligible movie from the platform. You can also redeem a code every 6 months to earn Screen Passes.
Every first day of the month, you will earn 3 Screen Passes, as long as you remain eligible. But, keep in mind that the Screen Passes for the month are not rolled over to the next month. They become expired.
