Deals & tricks for multiple cinema chains

Further down we look at deals specific to Cineworld, Odeon, Vue and Showcase, but first, these are the top tricks and offers that you can use at more than one chain or independent cinema.

1. Trick to get a YEAR's 2for1 cinema tickets for £1 – including new releases

   Meerkat Movies has been highly publicised by an enterprising meerkat and his pal Sergei for many years now. Buy certain insurance, switch utilities, or successfully apply for a financial product through comparison site Compare The Market*, and you'll get 2for1 cinema tickets on a Tuesday or Wednesday for a year.

   • 2for1 cinema tickets should never be your reason for choosing a product such as insurance – use other comparison sites and our insurance guides to check you're getting the best deal. However, if Compare The Market isn't cheapest/best for what you need, we've a trick so you can still get the 2for1 movies...

   What's the cheapest product you can buy to qualify for Meerkat Movies?

   The answer is one night's UK travel insurance for one person. If the insurance is dead cheap, you can get a one-day policy for when you're not actually travelling/needing it, just so you'll be eligible for the 2for1 deal.

   When we did a quick search at Compare The Market* on Tuesday 15 April, we found the cheapest single-trip travel insurance policy was £1. At this price, the insurance is far cheaper than the cost of a second cinema ticket, so in most cases you'll save even if you use it just once. What's more, you'll also be given Meerkat Meals, which gets discounts at many big chain and independent restaurants.

   Step 1. Search Compare The Market* for single-trip UK travel insurance for one

   Step 2. Buy the cheapest policy – when we checked on Tuesday 15 April, it was £1

   Step 3. Download the Meerkat app for Android or iOS and activate your membership

   

   
   Meerkat Movies is valid at most cinemas across the UK – the big chains (such as Cineworld, Odeon and Vue) as well as lots of independents – but not all of them. If in doubt, check with your local cinema before turning up. Unlike some cinema offers, you can use it on the latest blockbusters.

   • To qualify for Meerkat Movies & Meals membership, you need to purchase one of the following through Compare The Market: Car, motorcycle, home, van, pet, landlord, life, home/content or travel insurance. You can also qualify by taking out a credit card or loan or switch energy, digital TV or broadband supplier.

   • Activation can take at least 48 hours, so you may not be able to use the 2for1 offer on the same day you activate Meerkat Movies.

   • The year's 2for1 membership begins from the date you made a purchase. If you make any additional purchases during the 12 months, it'll extend your membership from the date of your most recent purchase.

   For more info on what you get and how to use this offer, see Meerkat Movies & Meals deals.

2. Six free Odeon or Vue tickets with a Club Lloyds account

   Lloyds Bank's Club Lloyds gives you six free Odeon or Vue tickets (normally £30 to £90 depending on the location) a year. The account is fee-free as long as you meet its £2,000 a month minimum pay-in – there's a £3 a month fee (rising to £5 a month from 2 June) if you don't.

   You can claim the free cinema tickets each year you have the account. Alternatively, you can choose 12 months' Disney+, a Coffee Club and Gourmet Society membership, or an annual magazine subscription instead.

   

   You can pick six Odeon or Vue tickets at the 'Choose Your Benefit' page when logging in to your Club Lloyds account. Tickets can be used for 2D or 3D movies and are valid for 12 months.

   We're highlighting Lloyds here for the free cinema tickets, but some other banks are offering big cash bonuses for switching – see our Best bank accounts guide to see what account is best for you.

   Minimum pay-in: £2,000 a month (£3 a month fee if you pay in less, rising to £5 a month from 2 June)

   Interest: 1.5% AER variable on the first £4,000, 3% AER variable on the next £1,000 and 0% on everything above £5,000 (at least two monthly direct debits are needed to get the interest)

3. Up to 40% off tickets via Lidl Plus – but always check it against other deals

   

   New and existing users of the free Lidl Plus app (Android/iOS) can register with The Cinema Society to get vouchers giving up to 40% off cinema tickets. The vouchers can be used at Odeon, Vue, Showcase, Reel Cinemas, Scott Cinemas, Savoy Cinemas, Parkway Cinemas, Omniplex, Merlin, Movie House, Grosvenor Glasgow and Perth Playhouse. Unfortunately, it excludes Northern Ireland.

   How it works

   • Sign in to the Lidl Plus app and select 'Partner offers', then choose 'Up to 40% off cinema tickets'.

   • Select 'Redeem this offer' by 5 February 2026, and then you'll need to register at The Cinema Society website.

   • Choose your cinema and buy a discounted voucher (it'll be emailed to you) which you can then exchange for a cinema ticket at the box office or online, depending on the cinema.

   You can buy up to 10 vouchers a day, which you can share with friends or family. In most cases, vouchers will be valid for at least six months and can be used on any movie at any time, but there may be exceptions, so always check the terms and conditions carefully. See The Cinema Society for more information.

   While it offers up to 40% off tickets, its discounts are based on 'peak-time' prices

   In other words, the most expensive full-priced ticket at each cinema. This means it's always worth checking against available deals elsewhere to make sure you are getting a saving, especially if you're not seeing a movie at peak-time.

4. 'Free' cinema ticket for someone accompanying a disabled person

   

   If you're disabled and need extra assistance at the cinema, a CEA Card (developed by the UK Cinema Association) costs £6 a year and allows you to get a free ticket for a companion each time at most cinemas. To get the free ticket, you'll need to buy a full-price ticket for yourself for the same showing.

   You can apply for a CEA Card online or by post. To be eligible you must be receiving either Disability Living Allowance, Attendance Allowance, Personal Independence Payment or Armed Forces Independence Payment, or hold a Severely Sight Impaired or Sight Impaired registration.

   The UK Cinema Association says about 90% of cinemas accept the card, including big chains such as Cineworld, Odeon and Vue – see participating cinemas near you. You'll need to have your card when you book.

   See our full guide on 30+ MoneySaving tips for disabled people.

   The above deals can be used at multiple cinemas, but we've split up the next part of this guide by chain-specific offers.

3. Some can pay just £13 a month for unlimited movies at Cineworld but it's a location lottery

   Cineworld's Unlimited membership allows you to see as many movies as you want at its cinemas. For some, this will be as cheap as £12.99 a month, but many will have to pay more. Whether you can get the cheapest Unlimited membership prices depends on where you live and if you're happy only using your membership at limited locations.

   Cinemas have been split into four groups (check which locations are in which groups below) and you can only use your Unlimited membership at cinemas in your group and any groups below it, without incurring an additional cost. For example, 'Group 2' £17.99 a month membership can be used at all cinemas in 'Group 2' and 'Group 1'.

Odeon deals

1. Save by booking online rather than at the cinema

   Odeon says its online and app prices, including its £1 booking fee, will always be cheaper than booking at the cinema box office. Some of the deals below can only be booked online, but where you've got the option to book in-person at the cinema, we tell you the difference in price.

2. Two Odeon tickets for £8 to any 2D movie on any day for some Vodafone and Voxi phone customers

   

   Vodafone mobile customers can get two Odeon tickets for £8, or two Odeon Luxe tickets for £13, to see any 2D movie each week through the My Vodafone app. You'll need to have a Vodafone pay-monthly or small business contract, or if you're a pay-as-you-go customer you'll need to have topped up £10 or more in the last 60 days.

   The same offer is also available to Voxi mobile customers as part of its 'Voxi Drop' rewards, except you can only use the deal once per month, not every week.

   • Download or sign in to the free My Vodafone App, select the 'Rewards' button to access a list of available offers and choose the Odeon deal.

   What's particularly good about this deal is it can be used to see any 2D movie, on any day of the week, including weekends, when discounts are rare.

   Sign up for free to Odeon Extras and you can get cheaper tickets for any movie, all-day Monday (including bank holidays), at most cinemas – see excluded locations below.

   You can use Odeon Extras membership to book at the cinema or online, but Odeon says members will always get cheaper tickets when booking online than they would in-person at the box office.

6. See unlimited movies from £17 per month with MyLimitless membership (or from £186 for a year)

   

   Odeon's 'MyLimitless' membership allows you to see as many standard 2D movies as you want in a month at its cinemas. There are two price tiers:

   • £16.99 a month 'MyLimitless' membership can be used at any of Odeon's standard cinemas (not Luxe).

   • £19.99 a month 'MyLimitless Plus' membership can also be used at any of Odeon's Luxe cinemas, and includes premium seat and screen upgrades.

   There's a three month minimum term only when paying monthly.

   Save 9% if you know you'll want it for a year

7. £2.75 child AND adult tickets for selected screenings

   With 'Odeon Kids' screenings you can get £2.75 tickets for kids (aged 14 and under) and accompanying adults on weekends and school holidays. Odeon offers a small selection of movies per week (usually between one and three, labelled with 'Kids'). See Odeon for current listings.

8. See 'mystery' movie preview screenings for about £6 via Odeon Screen Unseen

   

   If you'd like a sneak peek of a movie before it's released to the masses, there's a much better solution than streaming some dodgy illegal copy filmed on a camcorder.

   If you're someone who doesn't mind surprises, you can catch preview screenings of upcoming movies for £6 if booked online at Odeon with free Odeon Extras membership (or £7 in-cinema), or £7 online without Odeon Extras membership (£8 in-cinema).

   The catch is, you won't know which movie you're seeing until it starts

   Odeon says it'll always have a rating from 'U' to '15' and won't be a horror movie – they're reserved for its separate Scream Unseen.

   Previous Screen Unseen movies include Wicked Little Letters, Cat Person, Free Guy, Another Round, Parasite, Extra Ordinary, and Booksmart – so based on this, you probably shouldn't expect a blockbuster of the magnitude of Avengers, but if you're someone who likes to go see movies in general, this can be a good and fun way to get your hands on a cheap ticket.

   See Odeon Screen Unseen for which date the next screening will take place.

9. £3.50 tickets for over 60s for selected 'Silvers' screenings

   If you're aged 60 or over you can get a £3.50 ticket to selected screenings, if you're a free Odeon Extras member and book online. Odeon Extras members booking at the cinema will pay £4.50. If you don't have Odeon Extras membership, it's £4 online or £5 at the cinema.

   Odeon says you'll also get 'free' tea, coffee and biscuits before the movie starts. See Odeon Silvers for upcoming screenings and times.
