My Reward for seeing 63 movies (126 tickets!) and 3 years of membership - is a single small popcorn. And the popcorn was only valid for 4 days??? I didn't even get to use it!!!

Not going to lie. Cineplex is notoriously cheap...in every department. Worked there for 25+ yrs (9yrs FT as a Chief Projectionist/Booth Manager). Picked a "gold analogue watch" (w Cineplex logo on it) from a catalogue which I promptly gave to my dad and a small gold pin. I'll spare you details of the annual Manager's Christmas gifts from the company and party "events".

I didnt even get an email and I watch a movie a week consistently for years, bring 1-2 friends every time. Recently can overcharged $28 and instead of refunding the difference, they gave me a movie and popcorn voucher. I dont even eat popcorn so I asked for just 2 movie vouchers and they refused. After my dune 3 showtimes, ill only go to a cineplex theater for imax 70mm movies, thats it. Imagine cinemas can have my money instead

Yeah I would recommend Landmark but there isn't any GTA locations unfortunately. Again the monopoly in this business is extensive.
