Its dumb. I saw BP a lot of times with my movie pass and watched it every single time. I thought the "take a picture of your ticket stub" policy was designed to prevent fraud. But taking a picture of a stub wouldn't prevent me from reselling the ticket after that or just checking in and buying tickets solely for the purpose of gaining loyalty rewards points at bigger theatres, while not seeing a movie I've either already seen or never planned on seeing. So taking a picture of a stub is useless, unless people were checking in and using the predetermined amount to charge something other than a movie ticket to the card (like concessions or something), and that is what they are actually trying to prevent (along with discouraging people from checking in for rewards points on movies they've already seen).

Thats true. Also, I heard of people using MP to go to premium showings for movies. They would just pay the remaining balance with is not allowed according to MP. So it prob helps with that too. The thing is I've heard of people sending in pics... and its fine then the app asks them again for the same ticket stub a week later. So, they end up getting banned bc they didnt have the stub anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are trying to coat it that way, but it's really just deceptive advertising by using the term "Unlimited" and "Any" 4 minutes ago, Porthos said: "Any theater, any* movie, any day" *for certain values of "any" also, plenty of people in that thread pointing out that it isn't any theater either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumpot Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Moviepass filing shows it had only 15 million dollars left on April 30th. It has been spending ~21-22million per month (pre-summer) and now it is headed into a nightmare. They will be selling millions of shares of their stock daily to try and stay afloat. Not gonna work. Stock down 30% today to $1.50. this stock hit $40 less than a year ago....death spiral well underway. Would certainly NOT get any passes beyond one month at this point... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
