She hasn't subscribed to it. In the interview with the MoviePass heads I posted, they said that there were people constantly trying to game the system to get money rather than movies. It is amusing that Sinemia is basically asking people to do the same things that they do to Nigerian 419 scammers.
So the vile bastards at Sinemia pegged me for this. I dutifully posed holding my drivers' license and flipping off the camera for my photo. It was verified.
More BS from Sinemia: MoviePass competitor Sinemia is locking certain accounts until 'misuse fees' are paid, and some subscribers are fuming
OK, sounds like people need to install a screen recorder on their phone to document opening a web browser to show that the internet is working, then trying to use the Sinemia app and failing.
I know it's a pain but I still can't help thinking that there are going to be people trying to scam the system, and that honest people are going to have to jump through hoops because of them.
That's a lot of life: having to show receipts at some stores before you leave, getting searched at airports, etc. Not saying that as an excuse for whatever Sinemia is doing, but there are so many nuisances we must endure due to bad apples...
If I was one of those, I would demand my money back. If they didn't issue a refund, I would go back and file a complaint with the bank that issued my card.
More fun with Sinemia: MoviePass competitor Sinemia is terminating accounts, and some subscribers are bewildered and upset
This one sounds like an April 1 story (but isn’t)! MoviePass competitor Sinemia is asking for tips of $1, $2, or $5, even as it faces criticism for a spree of account terminations
If you have AMC theaters in your area you definitely need to get Stubs A*List. Vickie has been using that like a boss and there's never been any issues.
Second that! For $20/mo. (now $22), and three free movies a week, you can't beat it. Any AMC theater, any movie, no complication's, no extra fee's. The have $5, Tuesday's for ALL Stubb's member's (which starts with FREE membership), I decided to go see an extra movie this afternoon and it only costs me $5. My theater is a Dine-In theater, with table service and comfortable, large leather seats. Movies that have premium's like 3D have an upcharge on the $5 Tuesday deal. I have the A-List membership and it is great. The best part is no B.S.
Via a combination AMC Stubs A*List, $5 Tuesdays, discount member pricing at the Gene Siskel Film Center, and cheap tickets at the AMC Galewood 14 my wife Vickie has managed to see more than a hundred films in the theater so far this year.
Great deal if you like that sort of thing. I can only tolerate going to cinema a few times a months. Too many people spoil my viewing pleasure, sometime I get lucky.
Yes it is. But, I caution against installing the AMC app on your phone, it is a complete piece of spyware. I book my movies and manage my subscription via the browser on my laptop. I bring up a browser in the Stubbs free Wi-Fi at the theater, so that they can scan the screen for the e-ticket. They can also access your reservation from the reservation number.

Wow. OK...but it's not like AMC couldn't tell where Vickie is pretty much every single night - at an AMC theater. But I'll go through and turn off all of those permissions. What the hell do they need Bluetooth access for?
