If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

Including Cineworld, Showcase. Codes in promo packs of Maltesers, Starburst, etc.
ExpiredThe annual Sweet Sundays promotion is back. You can get a 'free' cinema ticket to use on a Sunday until 25 Aug at participating cinemas. You’ll need to buy promotional packs of certain chocolate and sweets, and enter codes online by 11.59pm TODAY.
If you're trying to avoid sugar, see our cheap cinema ticket deals round-up for offers on other days.
The ticket can be used on any 2D screenings at Cineworld, Picturehouse, Empire, Showcase, Merlin, Scott, Reel, WTW, Savoy, The Grosvenor, IMAX Playhouse or Moviehouse cinemas. Unfortunately, Odeon and Vue are not participating. Check 'More info' for excluded locations.

Depending on the pack size, you'll see two or five stars. Collect 10 and exchange them for your free cinema ticket. That means you'll need to buy a minimum of two large packs (189g-268g) or five smaller packs (91g-165g).
How do I get the free cinema ticket for £2?

The cheapest options we've unearthed are 196g packs of Skittles Fruits on offer for £1 at Morrisons, and 152g packs of Skittles Crazy Sours on offer for £1 at Asda – pick up two packs (you can mix and match) and you'll get five stars on each pack, enough for a free cinema ticket.2.

How do I get the free cinema ticket for £3?
You can buy the promotional chocolate at most major supermarkets, but to make the most of this deal, it's best to buy them when they're on offer, or at the lowest price available.
On Tue 9 Oct, here's where we've found you can buy a large pouch or block for £1.50 (the cheapest we've seen), and you'd just need to buy two to get a free cinema ticket, so £3 in total.
- £1.50 at Morrisons (standard price) - Galaxy Milk 200g, Maltesers 166g, Galaxy Minstrels 210g, M&M's Peanut 250g, M&M's Crispy 213g, Revels 173g, Maltesers Teasers 150g.
- £1.50 on offer at Asda - Maltesers 166g, Galaxy Minstrels 210g, M&M's Peanut 250g, M&M's Crispy 213g, Revels 173g. Or two for £3 Galaxy Milk 200g.
- £1.50 on offer at Tesco until Tue 6 Nov - Maltesers 166g, Galaxy Minstrels 210g, M&M's Peanut 250g, M&M's Crispy 213g, Revels 173g. Or Galaxy Milk 200g until Tue 16 Oct.
We've seen the smaller pouches on offer for £1 in some supermarkets, but you would need five of those, so £5, to get a free cinema ticket.
How do I get the 'free' ticket?
1. Find the code inside each pouch or block (it's a mix of 10 letters and numbers).
2. Register online at Sweet Sundays and enter your codes by 11.59pm on Wed 31 Oct – large pouches/blocks get five points, small pouches/blocks get two points. You need 10 points in total for a free ticket. Look at the front or back of the pack to see how many points you'll get.
3. You can choose to have your voucher emailed instantly, or posted to you which can take up to two weeks. It should also include instructions on how to book your ticket as it varies by cinema (see the full list of cinemas).
4. The vouchers can be used on 2D films at participating cinemas, any Sunday until 11.59pm on Sun 18 Nov. Vouchers can be redeemed online by entering an 'e-code' (there won't be a booking fee on free tickets), or at the cinema box office.

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
Free protection for all shopping!
There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.

When will your student loan be written off, cancelled, or paid off?
5 November 2024![]()
It’s a question I’m asked all the time. Many know that current students no longer need to repay their loans 30 years after the April following graduation, yet for those who started university before 2012, there are a variety of options. This information has been a long-term part of my Should I repay my student loan? guide (where... -
Stopcock tips – can you find yours?
15 October 2024![]()
A stopcock is your mains water tap (the off switch). Everyone should know where theirs is, especially at this time of year when pipes can burst due to frost. If you don’t know where yours is, your house could be flooded with water everywhere, while you have no idea how to stop it. -
