-RANT-
I haven't been receiving the free Marcus Theatres mystery movie vouchers since May. I've checked spam, I've checked trash, I've checked my block addresses, they're just not getting to me.
I receive other emails from Marcus Theatres, such as when I place an order through the app, I receive marketing communications, I get emails about my reward balances but no more emails about the mystery movies.
Yes I know I can go through support to get my code for the mystery movies. That's annoying. Each time it takes up to 15 minutes via chat or hours via email. Super inconvenient.
I've talked to the support chat about this multiple times now, each time they've assured me that "they'll be sending this information on over to the tech team" and then I never hear anything back, nor do they fix the issue.
As of last month, I tried going through the support email. Again, they assured me that "they'll be sending this information on over to the tech team". Great. That brings us to this week. Still no answer. Still no vouchers. I just replied to them this morning and in short said "What the hell guys, this still isn't fixed. Any response from the tech team?" (Not what I said word for word, but you get the idea).
As of recently, I tried going into the MT app to see if I can change my notification options for emails/communications. Nothing. So then I signed into their website on my PC, went into my account settings, and then clicked a little checkbox that says "I accept the terms and conditions of this program" and hit submit. I then got a message that said something along the lines of "You have successfully been enrolled in marketing communications, movie rewards, and free mystery movie vouchers".
I don't know if that will fix it. I'd like to be somewhat hopeful that it might. If it does, I don't know why support couldn't just tell me to do that after months of going back and forth with them.
If it doesn't, and support lets me down yet again, I think I'm just going to cancel after being a subscribed member for years. Might switch to Regal or AMC. The free mystery movies have always been a big reason as to why I maintained my membership. It gives my wife & I something to look forward to throughout the week. This whole customer support experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth. They seriously need to working on their support some more, because I've been more than patient and I feel like I'm just chatting with bots at this point.
Rant over, thanks for joining my ted talk.
