Maybe others would like to join in submitting tweets . . . . or answer my Q about anyone received the Odeon tickets :rolleyes:
Sorry I dont do twitter so cant help you there. I have done live chat 3 times now, 2 on 1 account and just chatting on my other current account now with the same questions. I ordered both on either 4 or 5 accounts :shifty: , and have not received anything on any of the accounts either the live ones or the expired ones. Has anyone contacted them about an expired account?

Just received this on live chat, got Kienon again, different account, and he has told me this:

"The Odeon tickets have all been sent out this week so you will be getting them in 7 working days. Also the Morrisons vouchers are not in stock and we hope they will be back very soon. Sorry about that."

Lets wait and see, I always get all live chats emailed to me so I have the transcript if needed.

Can someone post if they ever actually receive these so we all know?

Just received the following DM
Hi there, no more questions :) Just that people who redeemed via the email will be getting their tickets sooner than those who signed up via different avenues. (Also, the Google search is for 2-for-1 tickets, not the two free tickets.)
I have been informed there was a hold up with the tickets however, and we endeavour to get these sent out to you as soon as possible. This could be up to two weeks + post time, however they will be on their way :)

My response: Google search is NOT for 2 for 1. http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/2-free- ... -1-1826986 … I think sun=perks has become real disapointmnt. Idea great but need to meet demand

Just go another DM.
This time they are saying they were a retention offer and that may be why I've never received them!
The story changes by the minute!

Totally agree! It makes me even less concerned about closing and opening new trial accounts using a code! 2 can play at their game! :p

man, don't feel bad. this is a moral-free newspaper who egged us on invading and murdering innocents
in small countries and crippling our troops to steal their oil. Take EVERYTHING from them from the word GO.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

Not much point in trial offers, free or otherwise, if they don't actually deliver on their promises. Trades Description Act is rearing its head here.

I think they got their fingers burnt ....twice! Firstly, not limiting the offers so more people took up the offers than they anticipated and prepared for and then I think they didn't expect so many to cancel after the trial finished, so the costs are not being offset as expected.
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!

Ordering a subscription online should be covered by the Distance Selling Regulations so they really need to watch themselves. Saying that, it's the Sun, the paper who along with the now departed News of the World existed to be sued!

As a matter of interest, has this discussion taken place on MSE too? I would think this is just up Martin Lewis's street.
