re: MoviePass on its last legs?

My app isn't showing any showtimes/movies beyond some random screenings of the MEG. Anyone else having this issue? I was under the impression that all movies would be available again with a limit of 3/month?

cancelled this garbage

My next billing date is 8/22, so I can cancel before then.

I was looking around the cancel options, and I saw that you are blocked for resigning up for 9 months if you cancel.

That's great customer loyalty there. Drive them out, and if you do something right to fix it, don't let them back in.

Here's the new plan. "Choose up to 6 films daily." Limiting it to 6 movies a day would be sort of OK since they rotate and all the movies should eventually be available, but "up to 6" means that they can (and will) continue to limit it to one or two movies a day for the foreseeable future (since the 3 movies a month deal is still a money loser for them). They won't last another month or two.

I'll see if they try to bill me at the end of the month.

Pro-tip

Numerous people on reddit have reported that even after they cancelled MoviePass, they were charged for the next month. To deal with this preemptively, I saw two great tips on reddit on how to avoid this hassle. Try one or the other.

1. Before quitting MoviePass, change the charge card to the MoviePass card itself. It should be accepted as a legit card. (Edit: whoops, may not work—see next post)

2. Use privacy.com to create a virtual charge card and use that.

I have not tried either technique so I can't vouch for either of these tips, I'm just passing them on.

To change it to the moviepass card you need a billing address

Ok, so this is intentional and not a result of a glitch in the app? If it's a glitch I'll hold out but if this is what the service is going to be then I'm out.

Damn, I was fine with the 3 movie/month limit but with the obvious thought that all movies would be accessible.

I canceled on the 28th of July and uninstalled the app. This is the last part of the email.

We're excited to have you on this journey with us. Your endless support, understanding and enthusiasm are greatly appreciated.

Please note: if you had previously requested cancellation prior to opting-in, your opt-in to the new plan will take priority and your account will not be cancelled.

See you at the movies,


I never opted in for anything lol

Yep. I was logging in just to see what movies were available and quickly clicked on that.

Got an email seconds letter thanking me for updating my subscription, when I canceled about a week ago.

Ugh. They really know how to piss someone off.
