Meerkat Movies

Was in the shopping centre where my local Cineworld is, and the one that I am most likely to use the code at. I spoke to an Employee at the desk and established that:

• I don't have to buy the tickets with it just before the film starts, or even on the same day - it can be as early as the Friday beforehand for a Wednesday film, as long as I have the code.
• Wednesday is a better day than Tuesday for using it, as they already have a half price ticket offer running for Tuesday (NB didn't ask if this offer was all Cineworlds or just my particular one) and so there may be more seats available or just less crowded.
• You can use the code at one of the self service ticket machines but in his 10 years of experience he said that they could be unreliable, so better to use the desk if the queue is not a silly length.

Hope this helps, always like to be a step ahead if I can! (or I just have too much time on my hands lately)

I notice that all the Cineworlds near me have now ditched Bargain Tuesday! For the first few weeks it worked in conjunction with Meerkat Movies to make for a very cheap cinema trip indeed.

You are actually best off booking online, as the difference in ticket price more than compensates for the 50p they charge you for the Meerkat ticket eg. at my local a ticket bought in cinema after 5pm is £11, but bought online it's £10.40 (including booking fee). So 2 tickets bought online come to £10.90, and you can just show the e-ticket on your phone - no need to queue!

Can you use it online? I was looking at this on the T&Cs,

"1.4 This offer does not apply to pre-ordered tickets, unless the individual participating cinema advises differently."

I have a cineworld account and I know you can save money by booking online, but has anyone tried using the code for an online purchase yet?

Great deal I got it too!

Travel insurance £2.09. Will use the deal tonight. As a regular cinema goer this will save us near £200 a year by just getting two free tickets a month

To duplicate what others have said, hang in there! It does take time to activate, but it does work. I got £2.11 1 day UK travel insurance from ERV and it activated after a couple of days. Well worth it, good work MSE!

Bought my insurance on 22nd April, but still not working. Anyone else taking more than a week?

I booked online through Cineworld last Thrusday to see Avengers last night, using a combination of the meerkat movies code and a student ticket.

It's probably worth checking with the cinema chain you intend to use, but I don't think there's anything stopping you getting BOGOF adult tickets and using them for children. I know it works with student tickets with cineworld, so might work for kiddies tickets too.
