Cineworld/Vue deal from ebay seller - how is he doing it ?

An ebay seller is selling cheap cineworld/vue tickets i.e. see

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cineworld-Cinema-ticket-one-off-e-ticket-sent-by-email-/221398789829
and
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cineworld-Cinema-ticket-weekly-subscription-vie-email-Ideal-gift-/221398849632

I bought one & have confirmed the discount code has come from Prudential (code is named 'PRU' on cineworld website)

Now Prudential have a vitality policy that gives you free tickets i.e.
http://www.pruhealth.co.uk/vitality/partners/cinema/

Does anybody know how this seller is generating so many codes via this Prudential offer ?

On the face of it it looks like you only get one code a week for each life insurance policy you take out ? - surely he cannot be taking out lots of dummy life insurance policies ?

Just to ask, did you manage to get the tickets okay etc...? We have a Cineworld in Nottingham and this could be a cheap night out for me and my girlfriend when she comes to visit!

seller is not selling on ebay anymore so you will need to send an ebay message to the seller to ask personally

I had a private message from a representative of pru health asking me for details to identify him so I suspect he has been warned via ebay messages that what he is doing is against pru health T&Cs
(I didnt snitch on him BTW)

If he doesnt work for pru health then my best guess is that he has taken out some sort of company policy as I think you can get a ticket for each person in the company - if this is the case then he must be creating fictious employees which is a bit naughty

Myself, OH, DS & DD all have Pruhealth Vitality cover. We can each generate a code each week for either Cineworld or Vue cinemas. The codes are for our own personal use and may not be sold or gifted to anyone else.

I am sure it would be quite easy for Pruhealth to trace codes back to policyholders and then rescind their cover for infringing the t's and c's.

yes his main risk is that it would be very easy for a pru health rep to buy a code just to identify him
