    Codes are good to the end of the month. I used mine at the weekend - no problems.

    Used my codes last night for 2 tickets booked online. Was able to collect using the fast ticket machine using the booking reference number.

    Emailed them from my hotmail and got an auto reply, they followed up today and sent the codes.

    RE using the codes online, my email says
    "Simply present this email with the above codes at your nearest Odeon cinema which will entitle you and a friend to free entry to a film of your choice*"

    So I assume thhey can be presented in person too.
    Does anyone know if there are any restrictions on the films you can see?

    followed up with a non-gmail address and they've just told me they'd send 2 tickets to the gmail address I used to apply in the next 72 hours.


    Just set up a new hotmail acc, as i see from a few people that gmail doesn't work, even though i do a search in my mail to see if there's any there, but sadly no.

    But what are people saying in the email to the sun to avail of it?

    w00t booked my tickets ok, but wishing I had more "work" email addresses with different names now :/

    Time to borrow a co-worker's PC I think...

    Hmmm no I don't think so. They didn't ask me, but others have been asked to provide the email they used to sign up with.

    UPDATE: Just to confirm, I mailed them from a co-worker's account and was asked what name/address I signed up with... never thought to take note of the made-up ones I used.

    So yeah, expired

    You appear to have left out the codes.

    Thanks for the advice on the gmail, as i had waited in vain too on that & used another email.

    But do you have to provide ID when you have these printed out?
    if i want to give them to a relative in Dublin, if i don't make it up?

    Codes can be used to book online and the two don't have to be used at the same time so that would probably be the easiest way for someone else to use your codes.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,646 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    You can book online, but can't pick them up from the machines as you didn't use a credit card, so you have to queue in the popcorn lines

    A minor inconvenience but worth noting: get to the film early in other words.

    You can pick up from the vending machines; it's just extremely unclear that you can! Just select the Tesco/business bookings option and then enter your booking number and they will print.

    cheers, even the lackeys working in the Odeon didn't know that and said we had to queue! :(

    Thanks for all the updates on this. I originally phoned them using a number I got here, they said my name was not on their list! I then set up a Hotmail address sent off a mail and almost instantly got my codes.

    Cheers everyone

    I also applied initially using gmail and heard nothing. If I email sunplus.co.uk using a different email do I need to include the original set of codes?
    Thanks in advance

    They will ask for your name address and the email you used to apply.


  • Registered Users Posts: 55,472 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    I emailed them from my hotmail account this morning and got my two codes (by email) once I verified the original email and postal address.

    Then I got two more codes a few minutes later for some reason. :)

    perhaps a gift to be forwarded on to the user who found out about the mail blocking workaround (i.e. me) ? :D

    Have you emailed from a non-gmail account?

    I applied with my Gmail account and emailed them from it, and nothing.

    Recovered my password from my old Hotmail account today, sent them an email including my name, address and Gmail account and explained I was still waiting. Two hours later, I have the codes.

    I suspect of you could claim to have ordered codes and get them!
