    Remember it's only cineworld cinemas where you can print your own ticket. My trip to see man of steel has been out back whilst we wait for showcase to send ours :( or I will utilise orange Wednesday and buy a 99p orange sim (overall cost just £1.46 more than this offer).

    You can get free orange sims from them online directly. Took less than a week for the two I requested to show up :)

    Awesome! I will do this instead and whack it in my old phone... And my guilt will significantly reduce that I'm feeding my unborn baby too much chocolate - perfect all round.

    (Obviously 8 bags of sweets and two cinema tickets is the inancially better offer overall).

    When you have watched the film, don't dash out wait until the light come on then "Womble" up and down the aisles I picked up 22 bags with codes on last night doing just this :)

    Thanks for this suggestion. Kept my eye out as I left the cinema tonight & found 2 bags-one was unopened and filled with peanut M&Ms!!! Happy days...:D

    Ordered my ticket on Sunday and the only option to collect it was post, how long do the tickets usually take to be delivered? Is it likely to be here by the weekend?

    Anyone had a problem redeeming their codes on the cineworld site? It keeps giving me an error. It's the first time I've used these codes so now wondering if I've wasted my money.

    Bags are £1 each in Waitrose at the moment. I bought 20 bags (thank goodness for self scanning to avoid embarressment at checkout).

    Cut the top off each bag, tipped out contents into a bowl (sampled each one - just to check!), peered into the bottom of the bag to find the code and enter online. Put contents back in bag (sampled again - just to check) and sealed up with the sticker provided. Did this 20 times!

    I redeemed 8 codes in my name/email for 2 tickets
    8 codes in husbands name/email for 2 tickets
    4 codes in eldest son's name/email for 1 ticket (strictly speaking they are supposed to be over 16, but you only enter an age once when you first hit the website, so my age went in at the beginning and it didn't ask again).

    There did not appear to be any issues with using the same address each time.

    I selected Cineworld and for the codes to be emailed, (but also noticed that you can just use the print option and can write the codes down - handy if you don't have a printer).

    I then booked 5 tickets to Superman - man of steel for Sunday (2 adults, 1 student and 2 kids) and redeemed all 5 codes with no problems. I just entered one after the other and the relevant discounts were applied until the balance came down from £36 (or whatever) to £0.00.

    I did then have to enter my credit card even though it was zero, but at least that meant I could use the machine to collect the tickets.

    Saw the film whilst eating a bag of chocs each which we snuck in with us - excellent!

    So 5 tickets to Superman and 20 bags of chocs for £20 = £4 each compared to something like £9.20 for adults and £6.80 for children for normal online prices.
