Are you still standing in the queue to purchase your movie tickets at the counter?
Because that’s the cheapest option to get a movie ticket?
Well, not anymore when you know about this. It turns out it can be cheaper to purchase your tickets online at the convenience of your home or office.
Golden Village has launched an online prepaid card a couple of months ago that let you enjoy $2 off your movie ticket everyday when you book your tickets online.
The iCard is a virtual card so don’t worry about misplacing it
Known as the DBS GV iCard, DBS/POSB Debit or Credit cardmembers will enjoy the exclusive privileges from now till 31 Mar 17:
- $2.00 off Non-3D movie ticket everyday (Not $1, but $2 off!)
- $1.50 off 3-D movie ticket (everyday)
- $3.00 off Gold Class movie ticket (Mondays to Wednesdays)
- $9.00 for a DBS Combo (01x 85oz Large Popcorn + 02x 22oz Regular Coke) and/or Special DBS Combo(s) available with any purchase of a pair of 3D or Non-3D movie tickets using DBS GV iCard online. (Not valid with purchase of Gold Class movie tickets)
Do not be confused with another promotion where DBS/POSB cardmembers enjoy $1.00 off a Non-3D movie ticket, which will expire on 30 September 2016. The latest promotion requires you to register for an online card, or the DBS GV iCard, where you make top-ups with a DBS/POSB debit or credit card. You can then use the virtual card to make payment when you book your tickets online.
What’s the difference between both promotion?
The DBS GV iCard lets you enjoy $2 off a movie ticket, whereas the the other DBS/POSB promotion lets you enjoy a discount of $1 per ticket. The DBS GV iCard can only be used to make payment for tickets booked online and not over the counter.
How does the latest promotion benefits me or for those who prefer to book online?
Golden Village charges a convenience fee of $1.50 when you book online. As ludicrous as it seems, it was never an attractive option to pay that additional fee if you have the the time to queue and buy over the counter. (Talk about saving labour cost.)
Now it makes absolute sense to make your purchase online if you are purchasing 2 tickets or more.
Let’s do the maths:
Weekend:
Save even more when you purchase more tickets (i.e 3,4,5,6+)
Weekday:
Not only is it cheaper to get your movie tickets online, you can book your tickets in well in advance and save the hassle of standing in a queue to get your tickets.
What else you need to know:
You need to make an initial top-up of S$40 per iCard and may be topped up in multiples of S$50 subsequently. This should not be a problem since the promotion will last till 31 Mar 2017 and you have more than sufficient time to exhaust the value in it.
