Something else will come along. We've seen so many providers come and go in the last years! Who remembers screenings through Virgin Media, Momentum, Natwest, Time Out, Charles Worthington, Tellten and Eros? And of course Sky?

No more collecting codes for myself and SB - what I am I going to do when I visit Tesco now? ;) Just b*y groceries!!
Hardly had any free screenings this year and it looks like it will be even less soon. :(

It will be worse for you folk down south as you will miss all the free food etc you got with the free screenings - up here we only got the film.

Anyway, it was nice while it lasted and hope as Beate says something else will come along. :cross:

I'm still thinking the free tickets to Alton Towers and Thorpe Park that I've got are too good to be true. I expected them to either select a desired date and they'd then let you know if you'd been successful - a ballot - or else they'd just allocate a date and if it didn't suit - tough. As it was you just selected when you wanted and they said yes! Must be a catch. Either that or the swansong of Perks.

That sucks. I've got 4 months & 13 codes banked.

I only collected for free cinema tickets & haven't had any of those for a while. Any recent ones not been local.

No doubt their new scheme will be at a price!

Well what can I say
We was getting a bit fed up with Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Lego Land, Warwick Castle and Chessington
there is only so many times you can take the kids & then the Grand Children
and as For cinema tickets very Lucky to get any in Birmingham only seemed like about 40 tickets per screening which were always gone within minites

The codes for the Sun were easy to glance at and jot down on my "shopping list" piece of paper. I never entered the code until late evening so I didn't deprive anyone who b*ght the paper and found the code had already been used by me.
Never once did it say code already used when I entered it so perhaps this why they are changing - maybe they found that not enough people were saving codes for perks as they only wanted a cheap newspaper.
