This should work with $11 Telstra Rewards Tickets as they use the same Event Cinema Gateway for payment

This should work if you have Free or Prepaid Vouchers and pay a $1 booking fee

This should work with Advanced booking tickets (when booked on Boxing day), as long as payment is processed (which it is) on Boxing Day

If your using your AMEX with Masterpass, Dont forget to Double Dip with the AMEX offer of Spend $40+ in one or more transactions & Get $10 Credit

Register @ Bankwest for Masterpass. You DONT have to be a Bank account holder or have a Mastercard to use their MasterPass Gateway. Register with email/phone number and add any Credit card i.e VISA/AMEX etc. Link to Register

Moonlight is having the same offer for Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth

          Just so more people see this, the Village cinemas one is not not for gold CLASS only gold GRASS which is a moonlight cinema, it's a beanbag chair and nothing like gold CLASS.

          No.

  • appleosprey on 24/12/2014 - 09:18

    Do you think this will definitely work with Telstra $11.

    Do you have to visit the actual cinema on Boxing day? Can you book on Boxing day and go a few days later?

    This would be great to get a free Gold Class ticket for $11!

    Merry Christmas everyone

      When they had the AMEX / Event Cinema Statement Credits, it worked perfectly with Telstra rewards.

      The gateway should detect you used Masterpass regardless of the value spent

      • appleosprey on 24/12/2014 - 09:24

        Thanks, $11 is a good price to pay for an adult ticket but $18 is too much for a general adult ticket especially for a true ozbargainer!

      • furythree on 24/12/2014 - 21:08

        Just a note the AMEX T&Cs state this

        The following transactions are not considered eligible spend for the purposes of the Offer:

        1. Purchasing a merchant's goods through a third party. For example through a department store and/or concession store (e.g. David Jones or Myer), online aggregator (e.g. PayPal) or retailer

        Wouldnt Masterpass be considered a third party aggregator

        • easternculture on 24/12/2014 - 21:19

          well its a payment gateway. Events probably already use a NAB or Comm Bank gateway to process the payment. I dont see Masterpass to be any different . It will still show as paid to event cinema on your credit card statement

    • paul_5666 on 24/12/2014 - 13:18

      You can't book for Boxing day with Telstra offer since it is a public holiday but you can book in advanced on Boxing Day.

  • concento on 24/12/2014 - 09:35

    If you use a movie voucher and just pay for the booking fee, does that still qualify as an eligible transaction and enable you to get the Gold Class ticket?

    • easternculture on 24/12/2014 - 09:37
      +1

      technically it should. As the promo is from Masterpass, not event cinema.

      The gateway would have to detect you used Masterpass @ Event Cinema checkout regardless of the amount spent and automatically qualify you for the bonus.

      • concento on 24/12/2014 - 09:42

        Agree. Only one Gold class pass per account, right?
        Now do you think it would work if you sign up to multiple MasterPass accounts using different email/card combinations?

        • easternculture on 24/12/2014 - 09:44

          @easternculture:
          Just read "One free Gold Class Voucher for every online transaction". So that means you don't need to set up multiple MasterPass accounts, right? Just 2 separate bookings using vouchers and pay the 2 x $1.10 booking fee in 2 separate transactions, and then you got 2 Gold Class tickets for $2.20!

  • BuyNow Think Later on 24/12/2014 - 09:41

    One free Gold Class Voucher for every online transaction

    Is there a limit of free Gold Class vouchers per MasterPass account? i.e making multiple transactions using one MasterPass account.

    • concento on 24/12/2014 - 13:21

      I am not sure as well, can anyone clarify that multiple transactions using one MasterPass account will mean you will get multiple Gold Class passes?

    Has any one been to the Gold class in Paramatta? The seats are filthy. The Red is almost black from the dirt and grime. Does any one know if the Burwood /Top Ryde/ Macquarie Gold class is any better?

    • [Deactivated] on 24/12/2014 - 10:48

      Burwood is no different to your description the last I went there a year ago. Would assume it's still the same.

    • WaterMark on 24/12/2014 - 11:13

      I've been to all three (but normal seats). TopRyde > Parra > Bur. By far the worst was Bur and haven't been there since. The extra drive for me was worth the comfy seats from TR. They are plush compared to Bur which are thin and uncomfy.

    • wakie on 24/12/2014 - 11:17

      Macquarie GC is top notch

    • furythree on 24/12/2014 - 20:52

      I think it will only work if you make your booking on 26th december. Don't think it will work for anytime before or after this time

  • sharpy01 on 24/12/2014 - 11:49

    So I can just simply book 5 tickets for family for any random movie (doesnt matter which?), then use the free gold tickets to book the hobbit right?

      yes, as long as each ticket is a single transactions (total 5 transactions)

    • hardik1us on 24/12/2014 - 12:26

      Not sure as Hobbit in gold class currently have NFT(No free ticket) tag. SO not sure if this free gold class ticket will be valid for Hobbit or not. Can anyone confirm?

  • Elision on 24/12/2014 - 12:15

    Kinda shit that Brisbane can use it for Gold Class and Melbourne etc can only get a gold GRASS ticket which is for the moonlight cinemas :(

    No where near the same as gold class.

  • AMD113189 on 24/12/2014 - 12:16

    I'm still unsure how this works. When we book a movie don't we pay for the ticket along with the booking fee? From what i'm reading I can book a regular ticket and only pay the booking fee and then rebook with the subsequent free gold class voucher. How do we pay only the booking fee?

    • rvsure on 24/12/2014 - 13:17
      +2

      Basically the offer is if you pay for something on Event cinemas website on boxing day with Masterpass they will send you a Gold class ticket voucher for free which you can use for your next booking.

      In worst case you will be paying full price for a regular ticket and will get a Gold class ticket for free for your next booking. To get the max out of this deal you can buy your ticket through Telstra thanks (if you are a Telstra customer) and pay for it with Masterpass.

      If you are not a Telstra customer you can always buy the $12 vouchers at the Event cinemas and book your ticket online. You will be paying the $1 booking fee using Masterpass in this case which makes the ticket price $13 which isn't a bad price to get a free Gold class ticket voucher.

      • furythree on 24/12/2014 - 21:03

        if youre not a telstra customer, buy a $2 sim card

    No doubt this promo is going to somewhat change the mindset of people attending these gold class showings.

    However, putting that to one side, people who have been before:

    • are you made to feel bad if you don't order food / alcohol?
    • can you take in the regular soda and popcorn?

    I'm sure you can do whatever you want, but is it weird?

    • ulun-lpg on 25/12/2014 - 14:03

      my company always takes us to see movies on Gold Class (End of year outing) at Macquarie Centre with food and alcohol paid for. But I went once with the wife, we didnt order anything and it wasnt weird, we just love to see a good movie in a lazyboy sofa :)

  • Boward Woward on 25/12/2014 - 18:37

    Seeing as the Gold Class tickets last for 6 months, and you can purchase your ticket through Telstra for $11, that's $11 per Gold Class ticket. So essentially you can stock up on a many of these (depending on how many times you want to go to the movies), as you're awarded a Gold Class ticket per transaction! It's worth it even if you don't go and see the movie you purchased a ticket for, haha as you're saving what, $30 per Gold Class movie?

  • Sid04 on 25/12/2014 - 18:49

    • treeman on 25/12/2014 - 20:43

      Same experience…and whenever i try the validation code it says error with account.

  • docpol on 25/12/2014 - 21:30

    Worked fine for me, I signed up just now. I used my 28 degrees Mastercard to sign up for NAB Masterpass. Website is a little bit slow but worked ok. Got a validation code via text message immediately and entered it with no issues.

  • driew on 25/12/2014 - 23:20

    For anyone signing up. Don't use BankWest's Masterpass. It has loads of issues. Didn't accept my password when I signed up and not able to reset my password using both options. Think it's getting the account details confused.

    When I tried resetting with the secret question, the first time I got a different question to the one I set up. The second time the question wasn't even in English, think maybe Italian or some other foreign language.

    I created another one using NAB; so much better.

  • Spizz on 26/12/2014 - 00:20

    As long as Bankwest honours all the free Gold Class vouchers that one could earn this could be an excellent deal. Though I would only book movies I want to see on the off chance Bankwest only send 1 voucher or alter the T&Cs.

  • aussie28 on 26/12/2014 - 00:40

    Can confirm that it works with Telstra's thanks movies deal. I went through them twice and got tickets at $8.60 each on the 7th of January. Got an email with the ticket and at the bottom of the email says thanks for using Masterpass please allow 24-48 hours to receive your Gold class ticket. Unlikely that I will be able to use the purchased tickets tho but still a good deal.
