Free Cineworld cinema ticket

Insert By Martin: FREE CINEWORLD CINEMA TICKET

Npower is giving away free Cineworld cinema tickets when you ring up and get a quote for its gas and electricity - you don't have to switch to it, you just need a quote. Ask it to send it in the post and you'll 'consider it'.

To do this simply ring 0800 072 0676, quote the code N089P, and then there'll be one Cineworld ticket per hoursehold. This has been advertised in a number of national newspapers, so hopefully there's enough capacity for all MoneySavers.
Only use this to get the cinema ticket DO NOT switch!

Self evidentally the point behind this is to get you to switch to Npower. Currently its prices are reasonably competitive, yet it's likely to be increasing those soon.

Now is NOT the time to switch energy provider as prices are in a state of flux (unless you've never switched before) and even if it was, just calling one provider is absolutely the worst method. For more details on this please read the Cheapest Gas And Electricity Plus Cashback article.

A couple more tips on this deal:

  • Don't bother searching out your details. This is just a quick quote to grab a freebie, so don't bother seeking out your papers, do it off the top of your head, the result doesn't matter anyway as you're not switching.
  • Check whether there's a Cineworld near you. Click here to see if there’s a Cineworld near you.
  • There shouldn't be any junk mail. Once you've done this you'll be posted the voucher and the quote in the post. That's all you should receive so hopefully there won't be any more junk mail, however make sure you request that on the phone just to make sure.

_______________________________

I think this is the right place. I haven't had a chance to try this, but it looks genuine:-

There's an advert in today's Daily Express, if you ring npower for a personalised quote on gas and electricity, you can claim one free cinema ticket. Doesn't say you have to accept their price and sign up, just get a quote, and its a freephone number to boot, so no spend required - 0800 072 4111 and quote reference N089P

The small print:- one ticket per household subject to availability, to qualify for your free ticket you must receive a personalised quote for gas and/or electricity before 16/3/06, offer only available by phone, you will receive an application for a ticket voucher within 4 weeks of the date of the personalised quote. applications must be received by 30/4/06, valid for any Cineworld excluding London West End.

    Sorry about this - I finally got round to ringing this offer and it looks like the phone number in the ad is a mis-print! I ended up speaking to someone about car insurance!

    Apologies to anyone who tried this!

    There is another ad like this in yesterday's Daily Telegraph with the number as 0800 072 0676 - and this time you do get through to npower. However, offices are closed on Sundays. (If you ring, the ref is the same as previous post - N089P

    I know its not free But Cineworld do an unlimited ticket for £10.99 a month. It means you can go to the cinema as many times as you want for the monthly price of £10.99.

    My wife and I have been with this for just over 2 years. Before it was UGC at £9.99

    In the last 2 years we have seen over 350 films at a cost of about £490.00 for both of us. About 70p each per film.

    On occasions when we have seen everything showing we have watched some rubbish but on the whole we have seen hundreds of good films and some that you would not even think to watch on DVD. Also you don't have to wait 6 months for the film to come out on DVD

    Unfortunately it's not Cineworlds everywhere Merlin. None of the cinemas around here do those sort of deals :( I watch loads of films too.

    Although it's £10.99 a month you have to take out a yearly subscription so you have to pay £132 up front. It's a good deal if you go to the movies more than 3 times a month.

    If you watch loads of films (making the assumption you don't go alone :rolleyes: !?) and have a mobile, look at Orange deals - I keep a low cost mobile on Orange because the Orange Wednesday offer (2 for 1) is worth £6.50 every time you go to the movies - so if you go once a week, it potentially "saves" you £26.00 a month? Although Orange has one of the cheapest deals for me anyway, I take this into account when comparing mobile tariffs!

    I have enquired with Cineworld whether you can use the unlimited ticket in conjunction with the Orange offer, but they haven't come back to me ;) !!

    Butting in on the Cineworld Unlimited ticket here, but I pay by monthly Direct Debit at £10.99 a month - you just commit to the full year, but there's no need to pay it all in one go.

    For the person who says it's not all Cineworld's - it is, sort of. Cineworld recently took over UGC, and there's some issues with the changeover. If you find a UGC cinema, you can buy the ticket there, and it's valid to use at every Cineworld. The issue arises as many Cineworld cinema's aren't actually selling the ticket, just accepting it.

  • Fab, there is a cineworld cinema near me, I'll give it a go :D
    Debt at worst: £16,879 :eek:

  • If you look at this page:
    http://www.ugccinemas.co.uk/AffichePage.jgi?ALIAS=cartesugc/5a
    It states you can use the card in any Cineworld cinema. However, the card is only available for purchase at the old UGC cinemas, a list of which can be found here:

    Bit strange but hey ho...

  • My brother has a Cineworld ticket and so do his mates. They go to the cinema more than once a week now, and instead of handing them a five pound note to buy the ticket, he just hands them his Cinema Card!

    If you don't have one already, get one!

    And if you're with British Gas, you'll save more than £11 a month by switching supplier anyway!

    Very nice.
