Advance Booking:
1) Go to Cineplex.com (or the website for a non-Cineplex theater), select the movie that you want to purchase an advance ticket for, note down the cinema's name, the movie showtime and date, and the type of tickets you'd like to purchase.
2) In the Sinemia app, click on 'Advance Showtimes' and select your movie, showtime and the type of showing (2D/3D/IMAX/etc). Click "Confirm" and you will get a confirmation message, note down the ZIP code here. You now have 2 hours to purchase your movie tickets. If you do not purchase tickets within this time frame, it will not count as a ticket having been used against your monthly allowance. When you buy an advance ticket, you cannot buy another advance ticket until the selected showing has passed. Tickets can be purchased using the Cineplex website or app, or at the theater location either at the kiosk or through the counter.
3) If using the website or app, then when you come to payment, choose Mastercard as the payment method and put in the Sinemia card information. Use the ZIP Code provided in Step 2 as the Zip Code here. You can put your own name. After you put in the card info, a security widget in Turkish will pop up. You will be asked to put in a PIN. This will be texted to you (the message will be in Turkish but it will have a six-digit number where it says “secure safreniz: xxxxxx” which is the PIN). This is why it's important to have your phone number correct in your Sinemia account. Enter the PIN into the "password" box and press "devam" which means continue. It should go through.
4) If using the kiosk/counter, select the film and showtime you selected in the Sinemia app and use the Sinemia card when you are asked to pay.
5) You must be at the theater with your phone (the one the Sinemia app is installed on with your Location settings enabled) within 30 mins of your showtime. This is for the Sinemia people to confirm you are the one using the ticket. Open the Sinemia app and click the yellow 'check in' button.
6) You may be asked to provide a photo of the ticket through the app after your purchase. Some of these steps may not show up for you, don't worry about it. It seems to be asking randomly.

Regular Booking:
You don't need to use the 'advance booking' option in the app. However, you will need to check-in at the theater with the Sinemia app BEFORE you purchase the ticket. You just purchase movie tickets from the counter/kiosk and use the Sinemia card to pay instead of your own. The rest of the steps are the same. Remember that you have to go past the screen/message telling you to swipe your card before you actually swipe your card in the machine.

General Tips:
-You can watch one movie per day. For example, you cannot use both your tickets on one day if you're on a 2 movie/month plan to bring your friend with you.
-Your tickets can be used for a 2D or 3D movie on any day. One of your tickets can be used for any of the following once every 30 days : IMAX 2D, IMAX 3D, XD, Dolby Atmos, ScreenX, Dbox, or 4DX. The 30 days are independent of the 30 day cycle of your plan, so if your 2 movie a month plan starts on March 15th and you watch an IMAX movie on March 30th, you won't get to watch your next IMAX movie until April 30th, even though your non-premium movie quota renews on April 15th.
-it's $10 to replace your lost Sinemia card.
-Unused movie credits do not roll over.
-You can only install the application on ONE phone/device at a time and are able to switch that phone/device 3 times (one after the other), over the lifetime of your subscription.
-You are eligible for SCENE points in using Sinemia. Just add your card in/scan it when purchasing the tickets through the website/on location.

Extension and Renewal:
-On the website, under your account settings, you can click the Extend option to add more months to your subscription at the current price you're paying. If the oscars promo box is checked, the price might be higher than what you originally paid when the "oscars" promo was cheaper. Try unclicking it and typing in "oscars" again. The proper discount should show up.
-If you are on a month to month plan, your next monthly payment will at the same rate as your previous one (i.e. at the discounted fare). However, if you cancel, then you may lose the promo rate when you reactivate. Sinemia sends a 24 hour notice before the renewal date in case of a price increase. Previously, this has happened at the 6 month mark. At that point, you can choose to cancel your membership and sign up again with a promo rate. One way to avoid this is to extend your membership in advance or switch to an annual plan.
