From Sinemia/MoviePass to Eternity (Part 11 of ?)

Okay, let me help clarify Sinemia's new "unlimited" plan for $14.99 a month.

Short version: Sinemia will take your money for this plan and as soon as they spend more on the tickets you buy than the amount you initially gave them, they will cancel your account.

Long version: Math.

Based on what they did with my annual account (and with MANY others), here's how this will play out...

At $14.99 a month, the new "unlimited" plan costs about $180 a year. So let's say your local theater tickets are about $12. As soon as you watch 15 movies on your "unlimited" plan, Sinemia will cancel your account, accuse you of "fraud" or "misuse" and then offer you a "refund" of your original fee minus the amount they spent on your tickets. This "refund" will be approximately $0.

You'd be better off just buying a $180 gift card for your local theater, since that will cost the same and that's where your money is gonna go, anyway.

Plus, that way you haven't given your credit card number, personal information, and access to your phone to a lying, scumbag, scamarama company like Sinemia.

I also keep seeing sponsored Sinemia ads for three movies for $6.99 a month in articles I read all over the Internet.

This is also complete bunk, for the reasons stated above.

And while we're here, let's discuss how they want to steal and sell your personal information.

Which would be fine if they were actually saving you a few bucks on movie tickets.

But they're not. They rigged the game so there's no way to save any money with their service. It's diabolically clever.

The time I spent as a customer with them felt great because I felt like I was seeing movies in the theater for about $3 each. But it was an illusion. I was actually paying full-price to see them the whole time. There's no way to realize you're doing so until they cancel your account and offer you the "pro-rated" refund.

So...props to them for being good villains?

Sinemia claims that "99 percent" of accounts are unaffected by Operation Scam Cancellation and that only "3 percent" of accounts were canceled.

You can't dispute their math, at least!
