Unlimited service messages and making the most of your membership
As part of the Unlimited service we’ll keep in touch with you about your membership by sending you service messages including:

and sometimes other information relevant to the use of your Unlimited membership, such as
• changes to our cinemas or Unlimited membership groups

We will usually send these service communications by email and text.
For Unlimited members with a current annual membership (purchased on or before 2nd October 2024): If you pay for the Unlimited membership annually your Unlimited membership will not automatically renew and will come to an end after 12 months. We will write to you before the end of your 12 months of membership to let you know it's time to renew.
It’s no longer possible to renew your Unlimited card under the Annual Payment Plan, so for your membership to continue, you’ll need to subscribe to our digital Unlimited Membership. When your current year of Membership expires, simply log in to your My Cineworld account and signup for the new Digital Membership here. Then download the app to retrieve your digital Unlimited card and bookings. You’ll have various payment options to choose from (all with auto renewal) and the ability to cancel your membership easily after your minimum contract term.

• submit your current Unlimited card details and new digital Unlimited card details at www.cineworld.com/contact

Please refer to the Unlimited Membership Terms for more details.
After your minimum contract term: If you change your mind about your membership, you can cancel any time after your minimum contract term (or stop it renewing after your minimum term) by giving notice of termination to the Unlimited team via the contact form or by email to [email protected] (please send your request to cancel from the email address associated with your Unlimited account).
If you pay by monthly Direct Debit and we receive your notice:
- 14 days or more before your next payment date, your membership will end the day before your next payment is due or
- 13 days or less before your next payment date, that payment will be payable and your membership will terminate one month later.
If you pay by recurring debit/credit card payment and we receive your notice: 10 days or more before your next payment date, your membership will end the day before your next payment is due or 9 days or less before your next payment date, that payment will be payable and your membership will terminate one month later.

Unlimited Card Bookings
You'll need to show your Unlimited Card (plastic or digital) in-cinema at the ticket check point. Any customer who is unable to produce a valid Unlimited Card may be refused admission.
Then enter your Unlimited Card number where indicated in the Unlimited section of your My Cineworld account to sync your Unlimited membership with your My Cineworld account. Just make your bookings online through your My Cineworld account – simple! Please ensure that you bring your Unlimited Card with you to the cinema as each Unlimited member for whom a ticket has been booked must present their Unlimited Card at the ticket check point. Any customer who is unable to produce a valid Unlimited Card may be refused admission.
Please note that not all ticket types may be booked online e.g. Unlimited members wishing to (i) take advantage of the offer to upgrades to Balcony Seating at The O2 (uplift payable) or (ii) watch a film at a cinema not included in their Unlimited Group (uplift payable), will not be able to advance book for these ticket types as they are only available from the participating cinemas on the day of the performance.
If you can’t make it to a screening you have booked, please make sure you cancel it in your My Cineworld account in the My Bookings section. A cancellation is available up to 120 minutes (2 hours) prior to the start of the booked performance and only for bookings made directly on the website through your My Cineworld account. Repeated failure to collect booked tickets may be treated as misuse of an Unlimited Card which could mean that you won’t be allowed to make online ticket bookings in the future.

Offers and discounts may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice. A valid Unlimited Card must be shown.

Recommend a Friend
The code used by your friends will tell us they are applying as a friend of yours. We will then be able to correctly assign your reward once they have become an Unlimited member, paid their subscription fees and been an active member with us for 90 days.
Your code may be used as many times as you like, although the number of free months you can earn from the code is limited to a maximum of 12 each year (even if the code has been used in connection with more than 12 successful recommendations during that period).
If you share your code with 12 friends and they join Unlimited you could earn a full year of free Unlimited cinema!
From time to time, we may send you posters or other mailings about Recommend a Friend which you may wish to use to recommend Unlimited to your friends.
A successful recommendation means the friend (""Friend"") that you have recommended (a) is eligible to join the Unlimited Scheme in accordance with the Unlimited Card Terms and Conditions, (b) is subscribing to the Unlimited scheme for the first time, (c) successfully completes the online application process using the relevant Offer code, and (d) has successfully paid for and completed their first 90 days’ subscription.
Please read our Terms & Conditions for the Recommend a Friend Offer for more details.
In addition to that, once they become an Unlimited member, your friend can make their own recommendations earning more months free for themselves and their friends!
The Free Month for Annual Members or Pay Upfront (12 months) Members. The Free Month will be noted against qualifying Members' accounts within 6 weeks after the Friend has paid for and completed their first 90 days' subscription and will be applied automatically after the end of the paid-for 12 month period (or a little later once the Friend’s 90 day subscription period has been completed). For example, if a Member makes 3 successful recommendations within their paid-for 12 month period, their subscription (and for those Members with a digital membership, their Minimum Term) will automatically extend for an additional (free) 3 months after the end of the 12 month period. The Member’s account must be live at the time the Free Month is due to be applied as Free Months cannot be applied to Member’s accounts once their membership has expired.
Please don’t cancel your direct debit or payment card authority as the relevant payment will automatically be waived. Cancelling your payment arrangement will result in the automatic de-activation of your Unlimited Card.
More than one free month earned – if you have qualified for more than one free month, each free month will be applied on the same basis as above and, where a number of successful recommendations have been processed at or around the same time, your free months will be applied to your account on consecutive months.
New members who joined Unlimited using a Recommend a Friend code - If you are the new member who signed up using your friend’s code, your additional free month will be assigned to the first month after the end of your minimum contract term/initial period (ie month 4 if you chose to pay your membership fees 3 months Up Front or monthly, month 13 if you paid for your Unlimited Membership 12 months in advance then month 13), if you pay for your subscription monthly, we will not take a Direct Debit/payment card payment on your usual date. Monthly payments will then resume as normal.
Please go to www.cineworld.com/terms to view full terms and conditions of the Recommend a Friend Offer.
Please note: If you cancel your membership, if your membership expires or if your card is deactivated at any time before your accrued free month(s) have been applied to your account or used, you will lose the free months gained by recommending friends. The rewards are only valid whilst you remain an active Unlimited member.
Please note there is a minimum subscription period of at least 3 months for the Unlimited scheme and your membership will continue after the minimum term on a month to month basis and charges will apply until your membership is cancelled. Please read the Unlimited Membership terms and conditions, for further details.
