It pays for itself in just two visits*, and there are lots of extra perks and savings! You can find our more at cineworld.com/unlimited *This means the Unlimited monthly subscription price for relevant the Cineworld Cinema is cheaper than the cost of 2 visits per month to the same cinema based on in-cinema standard priced adult 2D ticket (excludes Cineworld Bexleyheath and Wood Green)."

Recommend a Friend
For every friend that becomes an Unlimited member, you could gain an extra month free on your existing membership. Not only that, your friend has the benefit of receiving their 13th month free! You can earn up to a maximum of 12 free months a year. For more information, visit cineworld.co.uk/unlimited-recommend-a-friend
To obtain your code, first go to the Recommend a Friend page, enter your Unlimited membership number and your email address. We will then email you the code which you can pass on to your friends. Your friends will be prompted to enter your unique code when they sign up for their own Unlimited membership. 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 see our monthly or annual 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!
Monthly pay standard (red card) Unlimited members – if you are in your first 12 months of membership and you pay your subscription monthly your free month(s) will be applied at the end of your initial 12 month membership. We’ll usually give you your free month by waiving your direct debit payment for your 13th month. It takes 10 days for us to apply the stop on your monthly Direct Debit, so you’ll either receive your 13th month free or your 14th month free once the temporary payment stop has been applied. Normal payment will be resumed in the following month (unless you have qualified for more than one free month, in which case normal payment will be resumed after the relevant number of free months have been applied).
Please don’t cancel your direct debit as the relevant direct debit payment will automatically be waived. Cancelling your direct debit arrangement will result in the automatic de-activation of your Unlimited Card.
Annual pay Unlimited members – if you pay for your Unlimited membership annually in advance your free month(s) will be applied at the end of your 12 month subscription.
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 month 13 of your membership and, if you pay for your subscription monthly, we will not take a Direct Debit payment on your usual date. Direct Debits will then resume as normal.
Read our Recommend a Friend Frequently Asked Questions for further information or please click here if you pay monthly or here if you pay annually 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 12 months for the Unlimited scheme (although, for a limited time only, it’s currently possible to sign up for minimum 3 month subscription term, when paying monthly). Please click Unlimited Card terms and conditions, for further details.
