I won a free movie pass

I use to go to the movie a lot. Not like Whodini who goes to every effing movie under the stars but I used to go a lot. Anyway i took my kid and babies mama to watch "up" and by having my regal club card got a free movie pass. I thought that was cool.
The last time I went I received free popcorn.
anyone else have that kind of luck???

Got free popcorns from AMC Movieclub when seeing The Hangover. Nice little perks/rewards.

Man, when I was still in the States I racked up over 1k points with AMC. I thought they'd give me some kinda celebration when I did it but it was just more movie passes. And Mauro exaggerates. I haven't been to the movies since Thursday. I've seen four film since then, though.

hey a free movie is a free movie.
I bought 2 adult tickets and a child 34.00
then a large popcorn, sour patch kids, and two waters 20+ bucks.
That **** adds up 54.00 to go to the movies?? I will enjoy my free pass, thank you!

That's insane. $54 when most movies you could go to are going to suck. I'm glad I don't really enjoy sitting through movies at theatres anyway.

Yeah...the girlfriend and I tend to bring our own snacks so we end up only spending $25 or so. Not too bad if it's a good movie.

You need to learn how to sneak things into the theatre.

I picked a popcorn tub out of the garbage in front of the theatre and brought it to the concession stand for a free refill. Beat that.

I was racking up the points with my AMC/Regal card, but now I only go to a Rave theater near me - much nicer, and the DLP projectors are fantastic. Never a problem with the teen projectionist/chimpanzee's inability to focus.

I realize you are Mauro Farinelli and days off are rare, and weekdays off are even rarer... but go during the day.

I went before work the other day to see 'Away We Go' with the wife and my ticket was $5. Plus I had just eaten breakfast so the twizzlers I snuck in via my wifes purse were more than enough to tide me through the film.

i only go see a movie in the morning.

less teenage shitbirds acting like ******* morons than at night.

This is only one of the many reasons to carry a purse.

Good advice this

not sure if this is about winning free stuff at the theater or just getting free stuff in general:

but i get these kind of things on occasion too not more or less than any other average joe.

last year i had the free 3 nights' stay at Wynn, with 100 dollars free to spend on dining and 100 free slot play.
that is right, i had around a 900 dollar worth package for free. i looked into it and made sure it was not something with strings attached, it was just i was a lucky winner. there were several there when i got there.

one time i won a free set of water skis? at a hotel (something like that) not sure what it was but i opted for the cash amount they gave me was just 100 dollars. i guess it was cheap water skis.

i got a free 100 dollar gift cert from neiman marcus one time. just for no reason. i called and they looked up the number and said 'yep, it is free, just go use it'. bought my wife a couple of cosmetic pieces.

etc and etc.

i also find people's stuff all the time, i found a lost wallet with 20 dollar bills in it with checkbook and credit cards. i turned them all into the customer service at nordstrom and made sure i revealed everything in the video and they were cool anyways because they know me.

last weekend i found a nice phone. no one claimed it. so i brought it to the management's office.

i found a gold bracelet once on a sidewalk once. i kept that . wouldnt you? out in public domain.
i found a very nice umbrella on a bus stop bench while i was running. i ran by again 30 minutes later and it was still there (at night) so i took it.

etc etc
