Citi Bank Promo: SM Cinema Complimentary Pass

We got these complimentary pass last December when we bought stuff for our kids at SM Department Store Taytay. Citibank had a promo then of winning three complimentary movie pass for a minimum purchase of three thousand pesos using Citibank Credit card.

But since hubby wanted to watch movies with our three kids and my mom, we decided not to consume it yet and will just make another purchase in the next following weeks. Two weeks after, we did shopped again for a new set of dinnerware. Though I tried to looked for some biodegradable plates which I knew were best recommended by many environmentalist because of its safe and non toxic materials, I found none. Maybe if I try looking at online shops I will get few sets for our kitchen.

Anyway, with that purchased, we got another set of three movie complimentary pass but when we went to the customer service to claim them, the attendant said they ran out of tickets and they don't know yet when they will be available again. However, we can claim our freebies in any SM Department Store aside from them at any time we like since claiming of movie passes is up to February 2011.

My family and I had been busy since the start of Holiday season last year and just today, I remembered to check on those movie passes and here is a shocking revelation:

Yikes! Our Movie Passes were all expired!

At the back of it were notes stating the validity date, some SM branch where it won't be honored and that it cannot be used on Metro Manila Film Festival. Too bad for us eh?! Hope with the other set of freebies which remain unclaimed by my husband, we'll  finally find time to watch a movie with the kids and my mom.
