Buy 1, Get 1 Free Movie Tickets

When you buy 1 movie ticket to a Friday showing on Fandango and pay with your Visa Signature card (I’ll explain how to tell if you already have 1), you’ll get the 2nd ticket free.

Here’s how it works:

• On Friday add 2 movie tickets to a Friday showing to your cart on Fandango (using this link only)
• Check-out and pay with your Visa Signature card (it says “Signature” under the Visa emblem)
• The lowest-priced ticket (up to $19.50) will be free

And folks who have a Chase Visa Signature card, can purchase their tickets for Friday showings on Wednesday, Thursday, or Fridays.  This could help you get a jump on new releases that might sell out by Friday.

Other Important Terms

• Offer only good while supplies last
• Limit of 1 free ticket per card, every 30 days
• Limit of 1 registration per email address (regardless of card number) per 7 day period
• Can NOT be combined with other coupons or discounts

If you have more than 1 Visa Signature card and email address it’s easy to get a free movie ticket more than once.

Do You Have a Visa Signature Card?

You can tell if you have a Visa Signature card by checking to see if “Signature” is printed under the VISA emblem.

Here’s a list of a few cards that qualify:

• Chase Sapphire Preferred
• Chase Ink Business Cash Credit Card
• Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card

And you can find another list of Visa Signature cards here.  Or enter your Visa credit card number into the Fandango site to find out if it’s eligible.

Bottom Line

You can get 1 Friday movie ticket free (up to $19.50) when you buy 1 (with this link only) on Fandango with your Visa Signature card.  This deal is good on Fridays through August 21, 2015.

However, folks who use their Chase Visa Signature card can purchase their tickets to a Friday showing on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
