Meerkat Movies

lisyloo

Did you get any info on what the change is?

No.... they just said the terms & conditions had changed... so they would no longer accept the codes... hopefully it's a mistake but there were several members of staff there & none of them intervened to say that person was wrong...


Meerkat movies is invaluable during the school holidays so it was a nasty shock to have to pay for both tickets...especially as I've been going there for years. Even the small child is trained to ask if it's a meerkat day before asking if we can go to the cinema...


That'll be less visits then... boo hiss meerkat movies !

Id ask the independent via email if they still accept the codes at cinema in anytown.

It's not part of a chain. It's one little independent cinema. With free parking in town. That is conveniently local. If I go there, I can achieve quite a lot with one trip (supermarkets/library/banking/post office etc.)


I did email them to ask why though...not had a response...

The Odeons & other big chains around probably still take it BUT they are over an hour away & I often have to pay to park in large towns etc. Not very MSE to have to pay lots more for petrol (& sometimes parking) just to save on one ticket. Some of them are in big business parks where there is nothing else I need...

Hmm...I wouldn't be so quick to judge.
Sounds like they don't want to do it (for whatever reason) and are blaming another party.

Dark_Star

The cinema are citing the fact that meerkat meals has been introduced & this conflicts with their business.


There are NO participating meerkat meals in the same town as the cinema or in any town within 10 miles. So I find it unlikely that you would enjoy a film there & then sit in a car for an hour just to get a meal offer. (The nearest participating places are in much bigger towns an hour away).


No other local cinemas, no other local restaurants involved in this offer.


So I feel it's just an excuse for them to pull out, sadly, as there is no conflict.

You might still have time to buy a policy. Mine was about £1.10 and went through really quickly.
