Cineplex is offering a free gift pack worth $30 when you purchase a physical $30 gift card right now. This offer is available from now until July 31st on physical gift cards purchased online or at the box office.
This offer is not valid with e-gift cards.
What’s Included In the Gift Pack
- One 2 for 1 admission including Ultra AVX, VIP or IMAX (Valid June 15th to September 30th)
- One free small popcorn (Valid June 15th to October 30th)
- One $1 digital rental (Valid until December 31st)
- One free admission to Cineplex Family Favourites (Valid June 15th to December 31st)
- 150 scene points (Valid until August 31st)
I was going to make a purchase online.
But it was my first time paying taxes for a gift card.
I wonder when I use my gift card to pay the admission, I will pay for the taxes again. Wouldnt be double taxes?
who cares alice!!!!
Yeah that’s weird they charged you taxes on the GC :rant:
@Alice, I agree — does not seem like a great deal. Maybe they will have a better one coming up.
They aren’t charging you tax on the value of the gift card, but rather on the “gift card handling fee”. The handling fee is 99 cents, so you get charged tax on that.
You are not being double taxed.
It sucks there is a handling fee to begin with, but what can you do.
With the coming movie choices it would be hard for me to justify. I still have an Air Miles certificate to use prior to September. That’s life!
“Not valid on e-gift cards.” Would an ‘e-gift card’ not be a gift card purchased on-line???
No, e-gift cards are the ones that are emailed (in which case they can’t ship the gift pack with it)
Ah. Monday brain strikes again. Of course that’s what an e-card is!
Haha – I still have a case of Monday brain now that it is Tuesday
Awesome, thanks!
