Weekly Cinema: No More

I wanted to let you all know that Weekly Cinema, that I have posted about many times on this site, seems to be shutting their doors. I was getting ready to redeem some tickets that we had been holding on to and when I went to the site found this note:

The future of Weekly Cinema is under review. While this review is being performed, we are not able to process or redeem movie ticket coupons. We are working with our deal site partners to achieve a refund for the unused movie tickets and promo codes in your Weekly Cinema account in an amount of up to the price paid for each of the unused movie ticket coupons. 

A Hotline phone number to provide additional information about Weekly Cinema is being set up. Please provide your Weekly Cinema email in the box below if you would like us to email you when an update is available. 

Otherwise, check the site later today for further updates. 

I am incredibly sorry that this has happened and if any of you have outstanding ticket codes you bough either through Groupon, Tippr, LivingSocial, or directly from Weekly Cinema, those codes are no longer available. I am praying and hoping that we will have our monies returned to us.

I just saw on Hip2Save that Collin has issued a couple updates regarding this issue. If you did purchase your tickets from one of the Daily Deal sites (not directly) you can call them directly and receive your refund.

• Groupon: 888-788-7858
• Tippr: 866-347-0752
• LivingSocial: 877-521-4191

Again, I am so sorry this has happened. If I hear anything new I will be sure to keep you all updated.

Frugal Friday: FREE Movie Ticket

I thought for this week's Frugal Friday I would share with you a great way to get at least One FREE movie ticket you can use at any theater that accepts fandango.com tickets.

Weekly Cinema is a great way to receive reduced movie tickets that will cover the cost of both IMAX and 3D movies, as well. When you sign up you will receive one FREE ticket, you do have to sign up for a monthly subscription BUT you can cancel at ANY time and you will not be charged the monthly fee. Although I have had the monthly fee for a few months now and love it. We pay $29.99/mth for 5 movie tickets ($5.00ea), and I am able to take the kids to see inexpensive kids films in 3D and/or IMAX. So for us it has been a huge bargain.

If you do not wish to keep the monthly subscription you can cancel, very easily, by clicking on the link that says 'Cancel Me' at the top of the screen, and that's pretty much it, best part you get to keep the one FREE ticket. You could sign up and then just as quickly cancel and have a FREE ticket for the movies this weekend! If you are doing a date night with your loved one, you only have to purchase one ticket now, that's a great savings at the theater.

GO HERE to sign up with Weekly Cinema and redeem your free ticket. Keep in mind you will need to have a theater nearby that does accept fandango.com tickets in order to redeem this FREE ticket.
