Does it make sense to get MoviePass while it's still alive?
On one hand, the subscription costs less than a single movie ticket where I live, and even as an infrequent movie-goer I'm pretty sure I'd save money.
On the other hand, they're obviously going to crash and burn, and who knows what they'll do with my account at that point. What's the worst I can expect? Spam? Robocalls? Identity theft?

- degenerate 8y agoDon't do it. You have to install their app and use a special credit card they send you in conjunction with the app. That's how they ensure you are not cheating/sharing. I had it for a month and then tried to cancel before my renewal; it took 3 full weeks (21 days!) of pestering their support over email every 3-5 days to escalate my refund case, and I had to threaten a BBB case before my ticket actually got escalated, and I finally got refunded 4 days after the threat. They do not have phone support at all.
- illnewsthat 8y agoI don't have Movie Pass, but according to moviepass subreddit they do have phone support: 646-400-0801 11AM-8PM EDT. (Might be newly added depending on when you cancelled). Doesn't necessarily mean they have good customer support, but probably a step in the right direction.

- rwmj 8y ago> For ticket verifications, if an unreadable stub is uploaded; you get one free pass. Upon the 2nd unreadable stub, your account will be terminated. So there you are, a simple way to terminate your own account :-)
- degenerate 8y agoDamn, wish I saw that in the TOS, would have saved me a lot of trouble haha. But as indicated, the (MUCH needed) phone support came out in Jan 2018. I cancelled in November.
- cheeze 8y agoGet Sinemia. It's MoviePass but better (you can buy tickets online with it.) But probably even closer to insolvency. I love it though.
- shaklee3 8y agoLooks like sinemia only bills annually, so you're likely to lose quite a bit when they go under.
- X-Istence 8y agoYes, it makes sense. When it goes under, you lose just that months fee. In the mean time you get to go the movie theatre.
