In my experience people who have access to a theater during their daily work/chores/gym-run/etc. will buy tons of tickets using their account to help get groups in to a movie.

I saw black panther for free thanks to my friend getting like 8 tickets for 6 of us. He had so many tickets he didn't even know where all of them were or how many he had so we found another couple in his car a few days later.

Movie pass just puts on the money on the card, but they're unaware of what you're actually buying with that. You can buy the same movie for a date in the future over multiple days. I'm sure many will try to do the same using up movies they don't care about.




You do know that's fraud, right?


Only if it's an individual doing it. If a startup finds a way to cheat/hack the system, it's called "disruption".


Slightly off-topic but this sentiment always reminds me of the saying “any crime that happens above street-level is called politics”
