Mr_Mister

McDonalds are offering 2for1 cinema tickets when any large meal is bought starting tomorrow.
It sounds like it can be used on any day of the week. No further details other than you will be given a code with the meal which can be redeemed on the site.
Just saw an TV advert tonight.

You have to be over 16 to participate. Does this mean the 2 for 1 is only for adult tickets or can they used to buy child tickets aswell?

Please can someone tell me what the cheapest thing is you need to buy at McD's to get the voucher?
Also, can you pay for the first cinema ticket at Vue cinemas using Nectar Points and get the second ticket free (with the McD's voucher)?
