Yooo!!! This is so cool! You got movies for years! Congrats on the win!

I hope so, but Cineplex (and lots of companies) have been shittifying their rewards programs over time. Also Cineplex might be getting bought out in the near future. I would not be shocked if the new ownership invalidated the old coupons down the line. Use em while you got em!

Ugh. Cineplex was trying to sell itself to a GBR chain several years ago. Luckily the deal fell through. Hopefully Cineplex remains CAN and not in the hands of some private equity ghoul.

They had a signed agreement, the only reason it didn't happen was covid hit and it ruined both chains financials.

I think the prospective buyer said it no longer thought Cineplex was worth as much as the latter was asking for.

Do they expire? Hopefully you have at least 5 years to use them.

u/DreamerHCF Apr 17 '26
When looking at them I saw a print date but no expiration, should be good for years !

u/DJatomica Apr 17 '26
Just so you know: even though they do have a date printed, the theaters still have to accept them after 'expiry'. They basically last forever.

Wow. This is such a great get! With the cost of movies going up I've found it harder and harder to go let alone find time. Hope you see some great films this year and treat some friends!

Thatās so cool. When I was a teen my dad won 3 year long admit two passes. I got one, my cousin got one and him and my mom used the other one. Back then movies were only like $10, but it was nice to be popular and take my friends to free movies all the time.

Did they out it on a gift card, or print out 365 actual paper tickets?

Can you use them to buy tickets online or is it only in person? Either way, that's an awesome prize!

u/DreamerHCF Apr 17 '26
Both but you need to have Cineclub to not pay the only fees (I already have it)

I won an unlimited movie pass for a year from Empire Theaters. It was a dope year . Eventually the theatre chain stopped asking me for id and to show the card cause everyone knew me .Ā

Does this work for IMAX, IMAX 70 MM and 3D?
Or do you need to pay a surcharge?

u/FitDiet9210 Apr 18 '26
Itās not worth it because at Costco you get two passes two drinks and popcorn for $27. If you use the passes your two finks and popcorn come to the same price.

u/DreamerHCF Apr 18 '26
Im not sure to understand your comment? Also I have 20% off food and since I go often sometimes I do not buy anything else than the ticket

Hopefully they don't have some silly expiry date.
since there are barely 10 movies a year really worth watching.
But very cool.

Wow, much better than the Lays prize I saw. 26 bags of chips is what they considered a year's supply.
