Club Lloyds Lifestyle Benefits

milton1970

Suspect many are in similar situation.

I have Club Lloyds Account & taken cinema tickets in lifestyle benefits offer ... due to expire at end of March.

Clearly given lockdown we have been able to use the vouchers ... has any alternative or extension been offered by Lloyds to anybody ?

Have a look at these...

Those theads are a bit old.
They anounced vouchers will be extended to may some time ago. Since then we have gone into another hard lockdown with no end in sight. If we say it ends late Feb (thats my optimistic guesstimate!) That will only give us 2-3 months to use up vouchers we would normally have 12 months to spend. 
My local Cineworld was closed almost the entierty of last year, even while other cinemas were open, so almost no opportunity to use them. 
I think they should offer us another extension.

The tickets they offer now are for VUE and Odeon.

I guess unless you have the magazine subscription one you may just have to forgo it.

I have the gormet society card which is discounts on restaurants, cinema and attractions. Completely useless at the moment but I doubt they will extend it. My last one didn't get extended (no idea if others did I've not looked)

I went for the Rakuten film rental option, then discovered the only films you can use it for are all bargain bin straight-to-DVD/streaming rubbish

I got the Rakuten vouchers for this year's rewards in the absence of anything better. I've heard from others their selection is a bit pants but better than the other options.
Even if cinemas reopen soon, my local Vue has closed down and Odoen is a bit out the way. The magazine selection is crap and I doubt I would get much use from the Gourmet thing either.

We've had the Rakuten vouchers for several months and have found something to watch each time.  I use the website Justwatch UK and filter for Rakuten and sorted by year to find the latest ones.  It currently lists 248 films for 2020 on Rakuten.  Note that that the voucher only covers a rental up to £5 but you can pay the extra if you want.  This month we saw Tenet which was an extra 49p.

Same here and regret opting for them. I have only used the first I received, last May.

The choice of watchables is dire, in my opinion. Either already seen most (Prime, Netflix) or not interested in the other offerings.

I opted for the magazine subscription in the end - nothing I fancied, but just got Good Housekeeping for my mum, it'll keep her quiet for a bit!

Just had this message relating to Vue cinema tickets for year ending Oct.2020:

"I can confirm that the Vue vouchers have been extended to the 31/07/21."
