I dont throw out any mail directly addressed to me, so thats pretty unlikely. I could have missed it, but Ive been waiting for the card so Ive been on the lookout for blank envelopes
I am able to check in on the app but when it comes to paying and choosing seats you have to be at the theater
This card will make me see more films I am on the fence about in the first three weeks or so. After that theater times are trash and impossible for me to see a film in a hour after work before 8:20pm
You have to be at the theatre physically but you can order tickets from other days in kiosks I'm pretty sure.
Probably violates TOS but I'm not sure if they can check something like that

reposting to make sure it isn't missed on the bottom of the last page:
You guys sure about this? I ask because in the not-so-fine print on the documentation, it explicitly says that if you use your MoviePass for an IMAX screening, your account could be subject to termination.
https://moviepass.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001124111-Are-there-any-restrictions-
So I mean, YMMV I guess? I too saw the red line on my local IMAX films, but steered clear because of this FAQ.

Their app is unreliable, so even it if shows red on a premium showing, they won't load the extra money to pay for that ticket. The pass is for standard 2D showings.
I just look in my theater chain's app for local standard showings and then find the same one in the moviepass app to checkin.

They said they all back orders would be filled within 10 days at the latest. That was 4 days ago, but then again they also said that in both September and early October. This company is just making it up as they go.

At this point you may as well start over. I ordered one for my wife and got it in less than two weeks.

Everyone I know who ordered a movie pass (order dates between Aug 30th-October 5th) have received theirs in the last 2 weeks, and have been working without a hitch.
The first movie I saw on the pass was a 7:40 showing of Ninjago, and the theater was totally empty except for our group, it was a great viewing experience
.
I hope MoviePass survives this initial turbulence towards profitability, because I really like mine so far.

I've had my card since Saturday but haven't found the time to take the 50 mile round trip to my nearest good theater to use it.
I signed up on the 6th and got an email that it shipped on the 12th. I got it tonight but it could of been in the mailbox a day or two because I hadn't checked.
My issue is I don't have a smartphone so I'm going to have to either borrow my sister in laws to use or get one with a cheap data plan to use these. I didn't know it was required till after I signed up but I'll be sure to use it. Probably be able to use it starting next month and go with Thor: Ragnarok as my first movie.

you can still cancel if its too much of a hassle to use get a smartphone
It doesn't look like it will be a big hassle, I can get a tracfone smartphone for around 30-50 bucks and use prepaid cards, or look into places around my theater that may have wifi.

Yeah, if mine isn't there when I get home tonight, I'm just going to open a new account and see if that one comes. If it comes before the other one, I'll cancel the other account.
I'm at day 65 and no card.

Yep they said 10 days on Friday October 6th. So even counting days as "business days" all the backordered cards should have shipped by now. Not holding my breath though. At this point, I just want to get it before Thor 3.

No, IMAX isn't covered by Moviepass. You can try shenanigans to get around it, but risk losing your account.

My card still isn't activated and the support ticket I put in months ago is unanswered.
Eticketing works great. This? Not so much.

There's too much going on in my life right now to abuse the pass. Though I do still use it....I want to abuse it. I want to have time to see all the garbage that's out there.
Geostorm is in theaters this Friday!

And that's one reason I'm thankful I have no time to go see it. If I had time I probably would.
You wanna see some garbage? The Snowman is for you!!

So I went to use my pass for the first time today with my fiancee, her card worked, mine did not, so I had to pay out of pocket. Is there any recourse for this? it activated yet I still had to pay -_-
You checked in via the app, right? It sounds like the most sure way to get support is via te MoviePass twitter.

Amazing how infrequently I use this (purely due to time) and yet it still pays itself off every month.
Yup I'm happy watching 1 movie a month and it pays for itself. Since I'm not worried about price anymore I just judge whether a movie is worth the time commitment.

Yeah I did the whole process as you should but it kept saying failed something something (forget what it was by now)
Just used the pass to see Geostorm for free (I used the pass already this month to see American Made and already made a $5 profit from it). American Made was OK and Geostorm was hilarious.
Since movies in my area cost $15 I would of originally had to pay $30 so I'm already at $20 profit with one week left in the month and I'm definitely seeing SAW and maybe Happy Death Day as well. So at the end of the month, I'm going to be at $45 but most likely $60 so I'm keeping $50 in my pocket that I would of spent thanks to a $10 subscription service. Thanks, Moviepass.
This service is great for a consumer but I would HATE to be someone behind the scenes at this company right now having to pay for all these tickets. lol
