Well, there's nothing to stop you getting a magazine subscription and letting others read them.

And you don't have to use each of the six cinema tickets personally, you can take the family* - and I've never been asked to prove they are mine.

*Though obviously it gives better value using the free tickets for adults and make the kids pay for themselves.

The account was available from late March 2014, so "this" is the 4th year for early takers.

You are right, I see I received my first in May 14.

The addition of Cineworld predated January 2016 so isn't a change this year....

It was definitely not possible to switch, at least not for my region (south). Vue was not just the default it was the only option. I remember this for a fact as I spoke with Lloyds at the time. Perhaps they wanted to balance between the chains. Comparing the emails from previous years, only this year states "Six Vue or Cineworld cinema tickets" under the options. In all previous years it is "6 Vue cinema tickets".

I am not open to fraudulent suggestions.
The offer of a magazine subscription is a sign of desperate thinking. I await a more beneficial benefit rather than a token one.

If they offered an electronic device to read the magazine then I would be interested .

Plenty of people take the cinema tickets and sell them.

Your response seems to indicate that your moral standpoint is variable depending on the value of the offer.

Absolutely nothing fraudulent about it! I phoned Club Lloyds to enquire whether the cinema ticket vouchers could be given to someone else and was told categorically that they can. The friend I hoped to give them to would have been mortified to have any difficulties using them, so when I asked I was very specific that I would not be using accompanying her and was assured that it was permitted. She's since used them without any difficulty.

Hmm, so first you say you haven't taken Lloyds up on the free stuff, because you don't want it, but you would want it if it could be diverted to someone else. And I suggest that one of the options in particular would be extremely easy to give to someone else (the magazines). You could even get a digital subscription instead of the paper copies.

But no: you want something more "beneficial", like an e-reader or tablet or smartphone or something. Well, that's not the offer. They're not offering expensive consumer electronics for free. They're offering magazine subscriptions, cinema tickets, memberships to discounted restaurant clubs, etc. As well as comprehensive current account banking services for no charge if you keep paying into the account, and paying interest on the current account at eight times the base rate, etc. I guess some people want the moon on a stick

Don't be so utterly ridiculous, the magazines are quality publications and arrive promptly every month, they even have free seed packets in them, no prizes for guessing which magazine that is.

They're also very good, as already explained, for passing on to grateful others.

I have 'gifted' the cinema tickets for four years as there is no Vue cinema near me, and now I have other options for cinema tickets so when the email comes in, I just forward it on to a family member, who has never had a problem using them, she uses them on date nights as their Vue cinema is at the end of her road.

I do have a cineworld near me so last year I changed it when the option was given, but then when I totted them all up, I had Meerkat movies, CAE card, and Orange Wednesday, so decide to change it back to Vue again and will be gifting them again.

I have asked and did when they first launched and was told yes I could take family and friends using the tickets, and like I say never had a issue if I wasn't with them when they were used.

And she presumably charges you for other things?
