Notice whether the screen is registering or signing in
The official help distinguishes account creation from returning-user access. In its Roku registration workflow, the service asks to use information from the Roku account. Read that action before accepting: creating a service account and opening an existing one are different operations, even if both end at the same catalogue.
Compare the email the workflow actually displays
Midnight Pulp says sharing Roku information uses the displayed email for the new Midnight Pulp identity. If a household’s earlier direct account used another address, the resulting session can be a different account. Compare the original membership confirmation with the identity now shown instead of assuming the same television household guarantees a single account record.
Registration still does not necessarily mean Premium
The provider’s instructions offer a Premium upgrade after registration and separately allow a free registered account. Reaching the end of sign-up therefore does not establish that an earlier paid membership was recognised or that a new purchase has been completed. Check the status before accepting another upgrade as a troubleshooting experiment.
Use the official existing-account route
If the wrong identity was created, return to the current legitimate sign-in options and establish the original account. The provider also documents web and mobile registration alternatives. Keep the actual email method and transaction route in a support enquiry while protecting credentials; do not assume marketplace account information silently merges an earlier direct membership.
Questions, answered
Must the email used on Roku match an earlier direct Midnight Pulp account?
Not necessarily. The registration help says the displayed Roku email can create the service identity.
Does completing registration itself establish Premium?
No. The documented flow separates registration from the later Premium upgrade choice.
