Thanks to Optus Movies you'll be able to purchase a $5 HOYTS Kids Tix with every $10 HOYTS movie voucher you buy. At that price you'll be able to get the kids to the movies quicker than they can yell there's nothing to do! Best of all, you have 3 months to use them, so you can stock up now and use them later (except for Saturdays after 5pm)! You'll need to get in quick though; this limited time offer ends 1 April, 2015.
From the tickets I bought this morning: "CONDITIONS OF USE Redeemable for one (1) Child/Senior general admission ticket except Saturday from 5pm and onwards. Fees apply for 3D upgrades. Full terms and conditions apply. See below for more information."
And below states: "Restricted e-CineVouchers – Child/Senior : Conditions of Use

Thanks for providing that… I'll get a couple for the parents when I purchase a couple for myself :-)
Does anyone know if 'Seniors' can still redeem a 'Child' ticket?
Yes, if their name is Benjamin Button
You have 3 months to use the adult tickets but 4 months for child/Senior tickets (my state expires on 31st July)
Do the $2 sim's work with this?
Hope we can still use the prepaid sim to register for this.. Just got the missus to pick one up from Dick Smiths since she was out shopping.
As a bonus, currently on special for $1 there.
Yes, you can! Please note that you do not need to recharge the $ 2 Sim Card to be able to join the Movie REward program. You only need to activate the SIM CArd and wait for -/+ 7 days for Optus to register your new number in their system. If the number hasn't been registered, you won't be able to join the Movie Reward program. I know this because I've done it and had checked with their customer service rep.
In addition, I went to K-Mart yesterday in search of the elusive $ 0.50 Telstra Nano Sim Card (but I couldn't get one) and I saw quite a few Optus $ 2 SIM Card. Check your local Kmart as they're clearing these as well and they can be had for $ 0.50 - yes, that's 50 cents!
7 days.. damn, that's gonna be a problem for this promo then.. 5 days and counting.. lets hope Optus gets a move on..
Finally had a reply from Movie Rewards, saying that "the 7 days cooling off period applies after your first recharge".. hmmmm :/
Edit dup
Thank u op, great timing for school holidays/easter!
I'm an Optus customer, had no idea about this! Sweet! Sucks you only have 3 months to use it, though!
It comes around regularly (usually just prior to school holidays), I am just finishing off my last $10/$5 sets of tickets this weekend (that expire end of March) and will restock for the next 3 months. As you can only get 10 tickets in total per day (5 adult/5 child) if you want to stock up you'll need to do it over a few days.
@espcookie, Is it prior to every school holiday?
Sorry for the late reply, but I have purchased them prior to most of the school holidays over the last year. Usually they are available a week or two prior to the breaks (often with the sale expiring in the week before holidays begin).
FYI there is a purchase limit a day. It look like 10 tickets a day.
Sold out.
WTF? How many tickets did they have?
Great.. didn't even get to register with my new sim yet..
this deal has closed today :(
(found out 5 min ago when I tried to buy tickets)
so taking one adult and four kids has gone from $30 to $50 (very sad for an avid ozbargainer!)
Would be nice if I could register my account on there or at least receive a response from support in the 3 day time frame they say…
Just FYI for anyone reading this later, despite not being able to purchase online, I rang them (it's a third party, TLC Marketing) on 1800 852 821 and the girl I spoke to was very helpful and processed the purchase manually.
Does anyone know if 'Seniors' can still redeem a 'Child' ticket? Last time the voucher stated 'one child/senior entry'. If anyone purchases this offer can you please check the voucher and/or T's & C's and report back. I'd like to purchase some for my parents if they can be redeemed by seniors. Many thanks in advance :-)
