I haven't encountered any problems yet and like the fact there are no hoops to jump through to get paid. However, with the number of promotions you have going on at any given time for the same movie, I could see where some busy theatres might accept an expired coupon (since some expire much earlier than others for the same movie), one whose maximum redemption value is worth less than their general admission (since there are so many different maximum ticket amounts for the same movie) or a matinee ticket for a general admission.

So far, I haven't made those mistakes.

Were some theatres actually not accepting them the first couple weeks of a new picture? (See, I did read your email!)

We've accepted these coupons for around 3 years now, and have encountered no problems whatsoever.

About the only critique I could offer is that the various conditions, terms and expiration dates require that we make a special (and continued) effort to keep our boxoffice cashiers on their toes, in order to make sure we're accepting the coupons appropriately. Otherwise, everyone at my place seems to feel the promotions are worthwhile.

No problems here. Only wish that MovieCash would not make their checks similar to MovieMoney. We do NOT accept MovieCash even though they have us listed on their website, and I have made numerous calls to get us pulled off. Hollywood MovieMoney is great. We don't get a ton of them in, but I have had no problems cashing them in. Making the expiration date larger would be helpful to the boxoffice staff. Sometimes its too hard to read the small print.

Sometimes the studios push really hard on the theaters not to accept coupons or passes for big pictures (such as Star Wars or Batman Begins). Those employees that are being extra careful sometimes turn away patrons with HMM certificates for this reason.
