    Does anyone have MoviePass? Do you like it? Do you feel it will fail horribly soon or do you think I could get some good use out of it?

      Editing … Hi Zappo, I use MoviePass. I heard they recently dropped the amount of tickets to 4 per month, idk if true. You can no longer see the same movie twice though. They also didn't let people see Red Sparrow with MoviePass, oddly enough. But overall it's a great deal if you attend theaters often, I mean, once you've seen two movies you've more than made up for your month's subscription. It even supports indie theaters--since MoviePass just operates like a debit card, there's no need for them to work out a deal with any theater. To the theater, you're just like any other paying customer.

      Editing … Their customer support is some of the worst in existence though, and by that I mean you will never hear back from them, ever, no matter how severe the issue. Their support's become famous for never replying to anyone. Also, maybe it will fail horribly, but you can still get use out of it in the meantime lmao

      Editing … Yeah I'm the kind of guy who only sees a handful of movies a year in theaters but would go maybe more than once a week if I had the money, so it sounds like a good deal to me. I think they took back the 4 movies a month thing, but you can check. Anyway yeah the customer service is my main concern, and not being able to get anything decent out of it if it fails soon. I'm leaning towards getting it though.

      Editing … The way I see it I already usually see a few movies a week at home, I could just augment it or replace some of it by going to theaters... probably augment honestly because so many movies.

      Editing … Yeah, it was a similar deal with me. I'd see just a couple in theaters a year, and then I got MoviePass and started seeing a ton. Just looked up the 4 movie thing--it looks like the cap was only for new subscribers (so I'd have been safe), and it looks like you're also right about them taking it back! Thanks for the info :p

      Editing … But really, don't worry about it failing. Even if it failed in just three months, you might've been able to see $300 worth of movies in theaters, for only $30. Right now MoviePass is actually operating a loss, but the plan is for them to collect enough data to be able to sell viewership info similar to the Nielsen ratings. They've also taken sponsorship deals, so every couple months you might get emailed to see some movie, might even say you'll get entered into a lottery if you do. Woah, an email every two months? So annoying. But yeah, if you'll actually use it, then it's a pretty fantastic deal.

      Editing … Oh, and I remember that they used to take AGES to send the MoviePass (but that was also right when they dropped from $30 a month to $10), idk how it is now. You shouldn't get charged until you activate the card though. I say "shouldn't" because I saw some people angry that they were.

      Editing … Yeah that's my other concern. My margins are slim enough that if it charges me when it shouldn't I could get overdraft fees.

      Editing … It'll always renew on the same day of the month that the card was activated (for me the 13th of every month), so I'd manage it with that day in mind. If you cancel, then you're not allowed to re-enter the program for a long time, not sure how long.
