Event Cinemas Dog Move on Gold Class Redemption

Wow event cinemas low blow with their new cinebuzz redemption scheme.
Cinebuzz members u should feel hard done by with ur hard work of collecting points for free gold class tickets in Particular.
Where once 1500 points would redeem a GC session regardless if it was NFT.
Now these points cant be redeemed for NFT sessions and instead event is giving the option of 1000 cinebuzz points for a discounted $20 gc ticket instead.
DOGS.
searching over the next week + sessions of deadpool and solo movie every single session is NFT.
These money hungry scum already charge an absurd amount for tickets and food/drinks. This points redemption was the only fairness for higger ticket prices.

But now these dogs want to gouge more money from us and remove whatever benefits they had previously. Aus cinemas arent even up to scratch with the rest of the world and we pay through the nose for lower quality image and sound experience.
They better return the original points system otherwise lost this customer and i hope many more.

    It's a free reward system, they don't have to give you anything.

    Pay them back by not going to the movies.

    I'm inclined to agree with OP and with robbyjones. From what I'm reading, yes, it's a D*** move. And yes, I believe it's just a free rewards system. I don't think they're obligated to give you anything. If my understanding of this is correct, then you can certainly do what you're planning to do and vote with your feet.

    Applies to normal and VMax sessions too, It is a bit of a dick move, and whilst they are free to do as they wish on an ongoing basis I feel this change should have been communicated to members and the terms sufficiently changed/clarified.

    The current Terms are "effective as at 1 July 2014" and do not mention NFT tickets, however have this stipulation.

    "Free Movie Tickets for redemption may not be available for all sessions. Where Free Movie Tickets are available for redemption, the number available for redemption in each session is limited and once these have been used others will not be made available for redemption"

    • was a bit shocked getting ready for redeeming deadpool 2 with my saved points and fail. sucks having to wait when didn't have to before.
      Even checked a solo GC session, which was not a 'nft' sess but still couldnt redeem.

    Move to the US & get yourself a ‘MOVIEPASS’ from moviepass.com & you can watch a new movie at the cinemas everyday for only $9.95US a month. Now that’s a bargain!
    Just shows you why Australians are #1 for downloading movies/tv illegally,
    because we get ripoff compared to the rest of the world.

    lol most new movies are NFT for atleast the first few weeks

    I had the same thing happen to me when the Avengers movie came out. Got caught out and ended up having to forkout for an extra gold class ticket.

    I did notice the NFT goes away 2 weekends after the release so if you are prepared to wait that long then you can theoretically still use it

    Its called Isle of dogs and I don't think it is on the NFT list.

    “This company was giving me a lot for free, but now they’re only giving me a reasonable amount for free.”

    Outrage ensues.
