33% Off Cineworld Tickets With 60 Days of Free Tastecard
Join Tastecard free for 30 days and get up to 33% Off Cineworld tickets. You also get to take advantage of all the other Tastecard benefits, the main one being 2-4-1 meals. The Cineworld Tastecard discount can be applied any day of the week, at any time for up to 6 guests. The benefit extends to ODEON, Vue, Picturehouse, Showcase, Empire and other cinemas.
Once the Tastecard trial is over, Tastecard costs £5.99/month, £19.99/6 months or £34.99/year (best value).
£3 Weekly Ticket With Three Plus
Three Pay Monthly and Pay As You Go customers can get a £3 Adult Cineworld Ticket every weekend through Three Plus. You’ll get 1 code per week, redeemable on a 2D standard ticket, Friday to Sunday, UK-wide.
2-For-1 Cineworld Tickets With Meerkat Movies
Get 2-4-1 Cineworld tickets when you buy a qualifying Compare The Market product (or if you have bought one in the previous 12 months). Use the Meerkat Movies app to generate a code from 1am Thursday for any screening 00:01 Tuesday to midnight Wednesday.
There’s a trick here. If one of you is a student/senior, add that ticket then add the Meerkat code. Even if the ‘Meerkat’ is an adult, their ticket will be free so you’ll only pay for the cheaper ticket.
Uplift charges will apply if you’re booking 3D, IMAX or D-Box. Premieres, private screenings and event cinema (eg. live ballet) are excluded.
Discounted My Cineworld Plus Tickets
Join My CineworldPlus for £5.95/year to save 10% on tickets. This works best if you’re happy to stick with the Cineworld brand since you’ll need to generate £5.95 worth of savings per year for it to make financial sense.
You can combine My Cineworld Plus with other offers like Meerkat Movies to save more too.

Andrew’s Top Ways To Save At Cineworld
Bottom line, there are so many ways to save at Cineworld (see all the deals above) that you should rarely pay full price. Outside of concession tickets, Cineworld regulars can consider Cineworld Unlimited but the best cinema savings are often found through brand disloyalty.
My partner and I, who are avid cinema-goers, take full advantage of Club Lloyds to get 12 free ODEON Luxe tickets per year. Outside of that, we try to stick to Tuesday or Wednesday showings for the Meerkat Movies saving and we’ll treat ourselves with an Everyman cinema trip from time-to-time.
My Cineworld Plus offers a small saving but given it’s designed to keep you Cineworld-loyal, you might be better off without if you’re happy to switch cinemas.
