MoviePass Discussion
- Thread starter CyReN
- Start date
Well the whole reason I cancelled a week ago was to beat the next billing date the app said was coming up. Then the billing date comes and even though I'd already cancelled, they charge me again.
Here is a link from Deadline on the new reverse stock split -

How are yall feeling about them removing PayPal for payment options? I'm kinda mad.
How do you check?
I'm happy about it; it means I won't have to do anything when my sub has to be renewed.
I've heard that people that got it through CostCo got to keep the original terms. Not sure if that's still holding, though.
They're doing another reverse split lol...500-1 this time. Bonkers.

I'm super tempted. Here in Australia it's also 30 AUD. Tickets for new movies here cost 20+ AUD. If I just go two days a month I'll be in the black and I live near a cinema so I would go nearly everyday I can with this option.
If you go to Account Details at the bottom it will tell you how many movies left in the current billing cycle and also if you go into Plan and Billing it will show your plan as "Monthly".
My main account shows 0 movies remaining and says it is monthly with a renewal on Sept 24 @ $0 (which I hopes end up being true since I should be covered until November). However my other account does not have the movie per cycle information and in Plan and Billing it still shows it as "Annual". I bought both of these directly through the site. It's not all bad except on the annual plan they still have ticket verification so I am still a bit restricted.
Damn, I took that as sarcasm and it's actually the truth. Crazy.
Did the same thing to my Uncle. Luckily, I recently replaced my card so they didn't get a chance to charge me again.
Well, that settles things. I've been without MoviePass for two months and the only movies I've seen were the extended cut LOTR trilogy films for $5/ticket at Regal RPX (which was pretty damn rad!).
Hmm, looks like I can now again too. It wasn't working about two hours ago and the only other time I had a problem was when they ran out of money so I assumed that was the case again. Saw other people on Reddit complaining too since yesterday. Oh well.
So I should be able to check in without taking a picture of my stub now that I'm on the new 3/month plan, right? I want to see Mandy tonight but MoviePass has decided I should not be able to.
Should, yeah. My first movie on the new 3/month plan was the first time I didn't have to take a picture of my ticket stub since Infinity War. YMMV though. I think I've seen a few cases of people still getting hit with ticket verification for some reason, but it's rare.
On the AMC pass right now. It's an extra 10 minute drive to the closest AMC vs. the closest (good) other theater, and it's an extra $10 a month, so we'll see if it gets as much use as I got out of Moviepass. But knowing I can make the hour and a half drive if I want and see movies in Dolby or IMAX and it still be free? I think I'll like this.
Yes, you can watch Dolby and IMAX at no additional charge.
In NYC, the only movies that seem to be supported today are Assassination Nation and Life Itself.
Sorry, that was poorly worded. The closest decent theater to me is about 20 minutes away, but no Dolby/IMAX there and it isn't an AMC. The closest AMC is about 30 minutes away, but again no IMAX/Dolby as it is an AMC classic. The closest theater that has Dolby/IMAX is the one that is an hour and a half away.
Sinemia gives you the option to buy tickets online from standard theater online systems if you desire, rather than going to the theater and buying the ticket there. Those systems charge convenience fees, and Sinemia's subscription doesn't cover them, so if your theater charges an extra $1 to order tickets online, then Sinemia pays for it and then charges you that $1.
One thing people should note, if they want to use Sinemia for premium movies - their "Elite" plan (which is still limited to 3 movies per month) lets you see any of those movies in 3D, but if you want a more deluxe showing (IMAX or Dolby or whatever) it only lets you see one deluxe movie per month.
No, there were reports that Sinemia itself started charging their own convenience fees on top of the ticket brokers. For instance:

but it seems like it's mainly those with physical cards (which they don't do anymore) or outside the US. Still shady.
Yeah, it is a bit odd. Especially with cardless. But if you have the ticket app on the phone it is rather easy once you get used to it. Not as simple as checking into movie and using card at kiosk, but simple enough to work.
And at least you can buy tickets early.
Rockin AMC and MoviePass right now still. Use AMC all the time and use MoviePass for my dates esp since you can just buy whatever tickets now
Yup. MoviePass has been a great accessory for bringing friends to AMC or going to wherever the group wants to go.
New email I just got, saying they are resubbing me even though I cancelled (lol):
"Based on current inventory" can I not see any movie I want?
"Based on current inventory" can I not see any movie I want?
I think you'll still be limited to which movies you can see per day like the rest of us (unless you use Eticketing theaters)
I just logged into the app for the first time since Ant-man and the Wasp (what was that, May or June?) and I can't see a single movie, at any theater in 50 miles, that I could see. So they're going to resub my cancelled account but then I can't see any movies? What the hell
Yeah, I just got this email too and it's a good thing I actually opened it. First they tell me I won't be subscribed anymore unless I opt in to the new plan, so I don't opt in, and now they're just going to reactivate my subscription unless I opt out? That's shady as fuck.
Yeah, just in case, when I cancelled, I called the credit card company to put a stop on any transactions from the Moviepass merchant.
That's the gist of the service yeah.
If you want to see a movie with movie pass what you do these days is go to buy tickets early, check into whatever the fuck and then purchase the ticket you actually want
I think my current issue with MoviePass is I'll see a movie available after work and by the time I get ready to leave for the theater it's no longer available.
What's that about? I can't really leave work and drive 30 minutes round trip at 10 AM to get tickets for a 7 PM showing so it's frustrating.

What I started to do, if the option exists... just check-in to whatever is available and buy a ticket to the movie I want to see.
Then just hope they don't ask you to take a photo of your ticket, right?
I really want to see A Simple Favor and The House With a Clock in its Walls and they pulled that shit twice on me.
My girlfriend's app is now telling her that they suspect she's using the app on a new phone (she's not), and that if she wants to log in, it'll prevent her from actually using the features for a month.
Of course, customer service is a joke, so she has no real recourse at this point. I told her to tweet to them, but who knows if that'll do anything.

I've just received a message from them about "Bonus" movies that don't count toward the monthly limit. Is this a new thing or did I miss it? Only a super limited movie covered by it I think right now, but maybe future promo movies will be viewable.
