    All the spins seemed to have gone by 22 July ….

    Supposed to be one go per day and I only managed to get one go in total. - got a rubbish popcorn combo

    Did people exploit a glitch?

    Some of the previous spin to win promotions were one per day but the last couple have been one (or zero) per customer with a limited number of spins available in total.

    I had a quick add up of the prizes and there are 756 proper prizes and 1000 cineworld combo and First Direct have about 2 million customers.

    How long will the Prize Draw last?
    The Prize Draw will run from 21st July 2026 until 23:59 GMT on 4th August 2026 (inclusive), or until all prizes have been claimed, whichever is earlier.
    Any attempted spin after the Prize Draw has ended will be invalid and ineligible for a prize or offer.

    How do I enter?
    If you meet the eligibility criteria you’ll be able to access the Prize Draw via the perks platform to participate.
    By spinning the wheel, you confirm your participation in the Prize Draw and we’ll reveal if you’ve won a prize.
    Once you’ve spun the wheel, you’ll be notified of the any prize or offer you’ve won. Your gift code will be revealed on the page following the spin. To access your code at a later date, you can access the page by logging back into perks and viewing ‘my codes’.
    You can only enter the Prize Draw once (spins are limited to one per perks member).

    Yes, there were fewer prizes this time, 756 (compared to just over 1,100 in last April's Spin the Wheel promotion). Same amount of £8 Cineworld combos (1,000). No "no wins" this time (compared to 1,000 in April).

    So the promotion would have ended after somewhere between 756 and 1,756 unique spins. One spin per customer, it's different to the Advent calendar type promotions where you can have a go everyday.

    Some Perks offers are only available to select customers, usually sent out by email. For example a few months ago they had a £5 Sainsbury's gift card for filling out a survey, but the offer was only sent out by email to a select group of Perks customers. If you're not a selected customer for an offer, the offer doesn't show in your Perks.
