Broke Girl’s Guide to top cinema loyalty schemes
ODEON and Cineworld both have a loyalty subscription card. I worked on what was then called the ODEON Premiere Points scheme. The idea is that the cinema chain will reward you for choosing their cinema as a preferred choice. In return, they get you to see more films at their cinema.
Other cinemas will also have membership schemes. If you have a local preferred cinema, then it’s worth checking out what is on offer.
A loyalty scheme can save you money
Each loyalty card will depend on how often you go to the cinema. If you only go once a year normally it really isn’t worth it. However, if you are a film buff or love watching films. It can save you money over time.

Membership packages
I like the fact you can choose between the two packages as it can be for yourself, or for you and a significant other. Once you have decided the package you want, you can choose between a pass which depends on where you live and which cinemas you intend to visit. So if you love Picturehouse but don’t think you will be frequenting the Member’s Bar or Fulham Road, then you can get all of these discounts for only £62.00 a year.
