886700 2010-05-20 10:55:00 Anyone joined up to the Hoyts Rewards Program?


I went to the movies last night and before the main feature there was an advertisement for Hoyts Rewards.
The advertisement stated "points for every dollar you spend"

I buy all the tickets in my family (and we go quite often) so I thought it would make sense to get "points for every dollar I spend"

I purchased the Hoyts Reward pack and took it home.
On reading the fine print on the back of the pack I find:
"Points may only be earned on either one Adult ticket or one Student
ticket or one Senior ticket per card / per transaction / per session,
plus an unlimited number of Child tickets."

So even though I buy 4 adult tickets I only get points for one ticket. Doesn't sound like "points for every dollar you spend"

I'm a bit ticked off....!!

886703 2010-05-20 22:40:00 If you were not told of the terms and conditions and there was no opportunity to read them before purchase then go back and ask for a refund. FoxyMX (5)

I had an experience with the revolving restaurant in Auckland years ago - I went to pay on leaving, to be advised that they do not accept cheques.
Where is the notification of that condition - there was none - It had to be prominently displayed at the reception point and on the menu - It wasn't - They were obliged to accept my cheque - it became a matter of principal.
