PURCHASING THE MOVIE CARD
You can buy The Movie Card online, here.
A few selected cinemas including all the Majestic cinemas sell The Movie Card.
Not at this stage however you can of course buy multiple cards to create whatever value gift you want to give – the sky’s the limit! At The Movie Card we like to do this by adding more cards to the one packet, putting multiple cards in a gift bag or envelope or stacking cards together and tying them up with a ribbon!
You sure can! Let the recipient of your gift decide how they want to do their movie night! If the movie theatre you choose offers luxury cinema (or Imax or drive-in for that matter) you can use the one card to pay for these tickets too, up to the value on your card.
There sure is! The packaging of The Movie Card looks like a greeting card. We’ve deliberately left the inside of The Movie Card’s card holder blank so there is enough room to write your own personal message.
It sure does! We’re a national card! That’s the beauty of The Movie Card – you can let your friends and family go to their local and use The Movie Card their way!
Gift ideas are our specialty! Be it Christmas, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Employee Incentives and Rewards, Corporate Gifts or just a “thank you” or a #datenight surprise, The Movie Card is the newest way to give the gift of cinema and has a movie experience to suit! Because we have such a wide variety of cinemas from drive-ins, new multiplex cinemas to classic historical theatres, there is a cinema experience to suit everyone! Your gift, your movie, your way!
Christmas
The Movie Card is the perfect Christmas gift for friends and family members and a great way to thank colleagues, employees, business partners or clients for a great year completed. With Kris Kringle and Secret Santa gift-giving so popular, we’ve specifically created a $25 card which is perfect for these occasions (and doubles as the perfect size for a Christmas stocking!).
Mothers Day and Fathers day
Give the gift of a much needed night out for busy mums and dads of all ages. The Movie Card is perfect to slip inside a greeting card and send (or just write inside our card).
Birthdays
The Movie Card is great when you want a gift that you know they’ll love – who doesn’t like a night at the flicks! The Movie Card is a gift that gives them something to look forward to once the candles are blown out and the cake is gone!
Anniversaries
What better way to celebrate than a relaxing night at the movies and perhaps a cheeky glass of wine! The Movie Card is the newest way to give the gift of cinema to your loved one. #datenight
