Well the $12 credit with hoyts tickets are back up again, last offer has expired, so hurry before it sells out again. The credit now has been extended till 18th May 2014 instead of its initial 2 weeks.

TIP: These groupon offers seem to be out weekly, This is the 3rd or 4th time the offer has been available.
The groupon credit can be used to purchase credits again after the offer has finished.

Since it is limited to 2 purchases per account, therefore, if you purchase 2 x $12 credits, you will receive a total of $24 credits in your Groupon account.

    Title? Are these things related?

  • DEvok on 06/04/2014 - 16:09

    Sorry now edited trying to post 2 deals.

  • pistachio1 on 06/04/2014 - 16:14

    South Bank Cineplex Cinemas Brisbane,$8.50 all day and $4.50 for pensioners. Pretty sure a large Popcorn and Coke is about $5.50 for the two. So good deal op, but I will stick to this bargain at South Bank.

    • Ronnnie on 06/04/2014 - 19:06

      Not everybody live near South Bank, but thanks for the info. :)

    • Iwantthatbargain on 06/04/2014 - 20:07

      Brisbane movie theatre are dirt cheap

    • Nuggets on 06/04/2014 - 20:10

      Yeah I get tunnel vision sometimes too when I look at deals. Ozbargain is a nationwide site haha :P But yeah the South Bank prices are awesome.

  • spackbace on 06/04/2014 - 16:14

    Deal expiry should be the 11th of this month (that's when group buy ends)

  • jv on 06/04/2014 - 16:27

    Can you use the $12 credit to buy another $12 credit ?

    • Iwantthatbargain on 06/04/2014 - 16:58
      +1

      Yes, you can.. I used my previous credit to buy the deal again. But Groupon has become smart, they have not yet credited the new $12 credit to my account yet, probably they will do it once this deal is over, or else I will go into buying this deal infinity

    • simprosimple on 06/04/2014 - 17:25

      Same, bought the deal again with my previous credit few days ago… So regret that I only bought one last time :(

    • Neoika on 06/04/2014 - 17:35

      Yes,you can.Last I did like this.Bought 1 first and later used the $12 credit to buy the second.Finally,I have $12 to buy other deals istead of normal $24.

      In a nutshell,pay $12,get 2 movie tickets+$12 off other deals!

  • UFO on 06/04/2014 - 16:51

    Yeah, I still dont get what the deal is?

    Hasnt been written very clearly at all.

    • k on 06/04/2014 - 16:52

      You buy $12 Groupon credit and you get a free Hoyts movie ticket.

      • UFO on 06/04/2014 - 16:55

        Thanks.

        Why didnt OP just type that :) ?

        Plus vote.

      • pmupsinep on 06/04/2014 - 17:33

        Or you buy movie ticket for $12 and get $12 in Groupon credit for free.

    • parcus on 06/04/2014 - 16:54

      Essentially you're buying $12 worth of Groupon credit and getting a free Hoyts ticket as well.

      Edit: too slow

  • WeiKaiLe on 06/04/2014 - 17:29

    Cheers, now with the 2 x movies tickets for the auspost deal the other day I've got 4 tickets. 1 movie choice for me and one for the girlfriend.

    Wondering if they'll do this ticket deal again before the credit expires.. could be used to buy another two tickets on that occasion.

    • anastasiastarz on 06/04/2014 - 18:00

  • DealzEddy123 on 06/04/2014 - 17:34

    how to purchase $50 credit with teh $24?

    • simprosimple on 06/04/2014 - 17:38
      +2

      pay extra $26

    • Neoika on 06/04/2014 - 17:41

      You can choose to deduct $24 at the checkout once you have credits.

  • Innamura on 06/04/2014 - 18:02

    Just bought one, thanks OP! How long does it normally take for the $12 credit to appear in your account? I checked 5 minutes after my purchase and my account still has zero credit.

    • DealzEddy123 on 06/04/2014 - 18:04
      +1

      • $12 Groupon credit will be uploaded in your account on the Thursday following purchase, allowing 3 business days for processing. A text message will be sent when the credit enters your account

      • Innamura on 06/04/2014 - 18:08

        Thanks Edwin. Looks like the only safe way to get two tickets before this deal runs out is to pay $24.

        • DealzEddy123 on 06/04/2014 - 18:15

          correct, that is the only way. I think people mean if you want two tickets for $12, you have to save teh $12 and wait till the next time this deal is on (if it does come on again)

        • Innamura on 06/04/2014 - 18:18

          Ah.. got it. That's quite a slim timeframe to use the credit for another two tickets. I guess there are lots of useful things on groupon we can use the $24 credit for.

  • Peck on 06/04/2014 - 18:18

    Also I am pretty sure that if you purchase through the Cash Rewards link to Groupon, you get rewards for your initial purchase, and again when you use up your $12 credit. It all adds up (total 8% rebate in fact!) Don't forget that it is transacted in $US so watch out for exchange rate/bank fees!

  • Kokobean02 on 06/04/2014 - 19:18

    Okay, so bought 2 $12 credit about a week ago (and now have the movie vouchers), but now once logged in, it's still letting me buy another 2 of the credits. Has anyone tried this more than once and been successful?

  • DEvok on 06/04/2014 - 19:52

    Yes it does work, your credits are not restricted, treat your credits like real money, The inly fall back is that it expires next month on the 18th.

    • Neoika on 06/04/2014 - 20:20

      Be sure you use it by the end of 17th May.Last time,it expired on 31st March,couldn't use it on that day.

      • superm86 on 06/04/2014 - 22:35
        +1

        That was their technical issue - I mailed them and they gave the credit back with another 7 days validity. Few others also got that..

        • nickj on 07/04/2014 - 12:16
          +1

          Yeah I mailed them and got the credit back for another week too. It should still be valid on the expiry date, and they agreed it was a glitch, and were happy to extend the credit for 7 days more.

  • Lucifersfury82 on 06/04/2014 - 19:55

    How long does it take for the movie tickets to come through? Bought a couple of vouchers for a couple of mates to see the advance screening of Spiderman.

    • DEvok on 06/04/2014 - 20:03

      Fine print:
      • Hoyts movie ticket will be sent via email within 7 days from date of purchase

      • [Deactivated] on 06/04/2014 - 20:58

        in my case, i got movie tickets code straight away (with code number and expiry). For grpon credit have to wait till thursday.

  • NotBritishorUK on 06/04/2014 - 21:02

    Damn my last credit was unavailable on the 31st march so they reinstated it until 7th April, could have used the same credit to get another 2 tickets but used it this afternoon! I even saw this deal but didn't cop it was a new one so thought the max 2 would stop me

  • zeckem on 06/04/2014 - 22:02

    If you purchase 2 x $12 in one transaction, do you get 2 x Hoyts Movie tickets? do you have to buy the $12 separately twice?

    • gsrt22 on 06/04/2014 - 22:16
      +1

      either way is ok

      • zeckem on 08/04/2014 - 12:06

        thanks, just in case people were wondering and purchased it separately, they will both come in the same email (the 2 tickets)

    Good one OP. If someone could clarify that I just need to use the vouchers before 18 may to buy some deals? I.e. The deal end date to use could be further out, right?

    • ccspack on 07/04/2014 - 08:09

      yes

        thanks

  • ccspack on 07/04/2014 - 08:12

    My original $24 purchase has bought me 4 movie vouchers and $6 yogurt voucher and I'll still have $24 credit with Groupon. I'm happy with this.

    • Peck on 08/04/2014 - 10:55

      And like I said above, if you did each transaction by going to Groupon through CashRewards, you would get a 4% rebate on each and every one of those transactions!

  • Smerch on 07/04/2014 - 08:39

    Thanks OP!
    You need to go to "My Groupons" tab under your login on the Groupon page to print out(a pdf file) movie vouchers straight after purchase.

    • fchis on 07/04/2014 - 09:48
      +1

      they'll send the movie vouchers to your email account.

      • Smerch on 07/04/2014 - 13:04

        If you want to wait for email and then print it…
        If you want to go to the movies right after you spend money then you can print from "My Groupons".

        Why neg me?

        • fchis on 07/04/2014 - 14:04
          +1

          because you can't use the PDF print out in MYgroupons to redeem the voucher at Hoyts. Hoyts vouchers are different from the ones in PDF. ps. i didn't neg you.

          I actualy neged it. Just didnt want anyone to get misled. you ll need to wait for few days to get the actual E-tickets in your email, print them and take to cinema. cant use the pdf file.

  • ricky123 on 07/04/2014 - 11:26

    Can we use this for The Lego Movie as it says only 2D movies.

    "The movie voucher is valid across the country at 450 Hoyts screens and can be used on any 2D movie."

    • cosmic on 07/04/2014 - 11:44

      Valid for all standard 2D films or upgrade to 3D for a surcharge

  • gembel on 07/04/2014 - 13:46

    hmm still haven't received an email from hoyts yet for my tickets…

  • kylebb on 07/04/2014 - 19:17

    I take it these can be used at the kiosks at Hoyt's? By just scanning the barcode?

  • aboutconfig on 07/04/2014 - 23:55

    they have these sales regularly now and you can have unlimited free hoyts tickets if you know how

    • zooter on 08/04/2014 - 06:03

      How?

    • ccspack on 08/04/2014 - 08:22

    • peeweekathi on 10/04/2014 - 22:53

      Still waiting too! Checked acct, not there…odd, came on time last time.

    • Love a bargain on 11/04/2014 - 09:30

      I'm hoping to "recycle" them too. Just checked and still no credit (and it's already Friday). Does it mean we'll have to wait till next Thursday? It says 6 days left on the site so does it mean we can still do so even if the credit doesn't come through until next Thursday (if not sold out prior, of course)?

    • slickvic on 11/04/2014 - 17:00

      I got a feeling this is one of Groupon's delay tactics, to stop us from recycling the credit - my prediction is we won't get the credit until the deal is over.

  • spackbace on 10/04/2014 - 18:07

    • WeiKaiLe on 12/04/2014 - 08:48

      They won't let me purchase this deal again, it seems they have truly restricted it to just 2 tickets. Which would account for why you could only buy 1 ticket the second time.

      • ozblogger on 12/04/2014 - 12:22

    You have to wait for an email from admin@showbusiness which will contain the voucher to print along with ticket number and online redemption pin which will allow you to book online.
