Is this MoviePass thing for real?

Let's talk Aguachile Alley

Postby rixx » Wed Feb 13, 2019 1:31 pm

I thought this thread was bumped to talk about how Sinemia has locked everyone out of their accounts unless they provide pictures of their government-issued ID and a photo of themselves holding their ID. according to this reddit thread you can blur out ur license number and address, which I did because this company is not US-based and this feels sketchy as fuck. my verification is still pending...

this is insane to save like $10 a month on movies theres not even anything good playing rn

some company needs to come thru and just really streamline this or theaters need to do a better job at rolling out their own versions. i'd sign up for the AMC plan but i've moved and there isn't one around me anymore.

Honestly I know Sinemia is a piece of shit company and they're gonna keep trying to nickel-and-dime me and pull sketchy shit over and over because this is an impossible business model that isn't profitable or sustainable, and this company will die just like Moviepass did sooner rather than later. So it's all about swerving around the shady tactics and riding this wave until it's over and these companies no longer exist, because for now, $7.99 for three movies a month is still an incredible deal and worth putting up with their bullshit for.

Sinemia Now Requires Users to Send in Blood Samples and a Photocopy of Their SSN to Continue Using Shitty Service

i've been using my 3 movies a month on shitty movies and getting fandango refunds during these dregs of the cinema year when nothing is playing. so i have like $100+ in fandango credit by now.

and i save on average ~ $30 a month with this service, versus if i was to alternatively pay full price for 3 films a month

sinemia just added another fee. you can no longer specify that you're buying a ticket from a site that doesn't charge a convenience fee. its at least $0.90 now which brings the total fees to $2.70 per ticket. this company sucks ass.

Last time I tried using Sinemia I was at the theater buying a ticket and the app said I first needed to verify my identity. Specifically they requested that I send a photo of my drivers license along with a photo of me holding it next to my head. I did both at the theater and got a message that basically said, "Cool, we'll get back to you in a few days."

apparently this only happens if you upgrade to the latest version of the app. i was wondering why I still could waive convenience fees (I used it today) and it's cause I haven't updated yet! and don't plan to ever now!

lol my sinemia account got terminated over the weekend. looking at reddit, it seems that i was one of many. i definitely missed a handful of check-ins in the early days of my account but i hadn't done anything wrong recently.

they've promised me a refund "based on the difference between your payments to Sinemia and the cost of your ticket purchases" but i'm not holding my breath that it will ever actually happen

sinemia just terminated my account lol. seems like they are doing it to everyone as soon as the value of tickets they buy passes the amount they paid for membership. what a scam.
