Halifax free movie

A nice gesture from Halifax

If you aren't a Rakuten account holder, and don't want to be on their Marketing list, it might be worth creating a throw-away email account for signing up to Rakuten.

Lloyds have sent me a few movie too, for being a Club Account customer.

Had the same from Lloyds (on two accounts), a little bizarre though as both are Club Lloyds and both get Rakuten codes as the regular perk.   

You have to wonder whether there's joined-up thinking at Lloyds! 

But not grumbling, it's an extra couple of movies...

Just got the Lloyds email also. Just a little tip for the discerning movie viewers out there try the 'indie' genres tab at the bottom of the main Rakuten TV page. They don't have great selection of new movies but there catalogue of good older movies is worth a look.

Cheers

I've had the Halifax email but nothing from Lloyds.
It would be nice to get a code for each of my Halifax accounts but that's a bit greedy

Had this from Lloyds bu not Halifax. When  similar offer was done last year the option of films seemed to be very poor, but can't complain if it's free I suppose.

Had this from Halifax but not from Lloyds (apart from the regular monthly Club Lloyds ones). I struggle to find anything on Rakuten, just too much rubbish to dig through, so the codes sometimes go unused. My wife accidentally selected physical cinema tickets as her Lloyds benefit this year despite last year's going to waste. I wouldn't pay for movies anyway so would prefer a cash benefit.

With you there Alex.  Used to be able to use my monthly Times Subscriber Rakuten superpoints (although they seemed to have stopped recently) and some other freebie ones that came along occasionally and find something worthwhile to watch, but over the last year the number of watchable films on Rakuten has plummetted (unless seemingly you like horror or teen flicks),  sadly coinciding with opting for the Rakuten codes for our Lloyds Club accounts so they are mainly just going to waste due to their 35 day validity (unlike Superpoints)   And now Halifax have kindly given us 2 more 

Also got some Odeon vouchers on one of the Lloyds accounts but god knows when or if they'll be able to be used before they expire.  .

Lloyds extended one set of ours from last year so we currently have 18 active cinema tickets with three different chains.

I had a bad experience using the cinema vouchers a couple of years ago when my eldest got a bit worried during the lego movie 2 (the sad bit where Emmet gets stuck under the washing machine) so wanted to sit on my lap then did a big warm wee. I explained to the staff that it was probably ok because most of the wee had soaked into me and then followed a shameful walk through a town centre (with a wet patch in the middle of our trousers) before moist sticky drive home. Thanks club lloyds.

Did it come in an email or via the online system? Reward account holder and not had anything sent through yet...
