It won't be for long....anyone who was a subscriber from 2013-2016 knows this is just the beginning. It will only get worse from here as they go back to the shady practices they started in 2016 they referred to as "testing".

It will be interesting to see how it works for them now that they are in the spotlight as when they pulled a lot of the crap they are starting up again in 2016 they didn't have the eyes they have on them now.

The next wave of bans will be very interesting. Under the new terms:

If an incorrect or unreadable stub is submitted for ticket verification, a warning will be sent to you by email notifying [you] to be careful.

After the first warning, if a second incident occurs and a mismatched or unreadable stub is submitted your MoviePass service will be cancelled.

Now here's the problem: MoviePass' photo verification is garbage.

The picture you initially take is crystal clear, but the preview image (just before you hit submit) is potato quality. The question is, will the person who's being paid 1 to 2 cents per ticket actually attempt to decipher a grainy low-quality jpeg or will they just mark it as "unreadable" and move on.

They didn't lie to anyone. The TOS clearly states they can change anything about the service at any time without notice and by using the service you agree to be legally bound by those terms.

And no, you will not sue them. You have also waived your right to a lawsuit by using the service. Arbitration only.

What is the issue with the new TOS about only using one device per account? How would they know if the same device was used?

Ha ha ha ha. Seems they sorta did before pimping out death wish.

How do you submit? Through the chat thing you have to wait an hour to hear back from? Do you have to text account number also?

Take a photo through the app

Apps get tied to the IMEI of the phone.

I haven't had to do the ticket stub picture stuff yet but what you just stated has been my worry. I have no issues having to do this step, but if the app itself is going to give issues with this process its going to be a PITA.

I took and submitted my stub soon as it was ripped and before going into the theater to see Avengers. I guess it went through. Didn't get no message saying to try again.

[Leonidas King]

I got the photo stub email again today even though I got it 2 weeks ago.

I think that this is silly.

Not to gripe, but had I known about the one movie thing, I would definitely not have used it for Avengers front row only seating last night. terrible experience.

Being able to use multiple devices was convenient for getting tickets early Friday morning.

I've seen 18 movies in 2 months and not a single one of them twice. Zero affect on me. As it is, i'm earning more than enough Regal Rewards points to get a free movie pass in the event I ever feel like seeing a movie a 2nd time. More likely I will just buy the Blu-ray as I usually do. Far more people are bitter at the only sign-up option right now being the iHeartRadio deal.

[Flyers99]

I'm not even sure there's a movie being released in the immediate months that I would want to see multiple times.

I'm a little worried a bout the ticket verification thing, I knew about it for a few weeks but with MP's abysmal Customer Service I can see a lot of people getting screwed

Most apps are like that. It cuts down abuse.

[Leonidas King]

It sucks about the one movie limit now though. I know a lot of folks want to watch Infinity War multiple times and now its not a possibility.

Luckily everything I wanted to watch twice I managed to do in the last month.

I know I'm in the minority but the level of entitlement that runs rampant over this app is crazy. In my neck of the woods the average primetime 2D ticket is $12 to $14. If I see one movie at night I'm breaking even for a month. The level of crying over not being able to see Truth or Dare 51 times is beyond me. I'm thrilled this thing is still up and running and cries of "Bullsh*t" from the very people who bury the service are a bit tone deaf. This is literally why we can't have nice things. Rant Over, sorry.
