Whether you're Gen Z or millennial, there's something special about catching a movie or a live show with family or friends. And thanks to online booking platforms like BookMyShow, getting tickets is quick and easy, with no queues.
Because of this, free movie ticket credit cards have become popular, offering rewards and exclusive benefits like buy-one-get-one (BOGO) movie tickets, discounts on live events, and more.
Here are some ways to get the most out of your BOGO credit card offers:
Depending on your credit card, you may have the option of buying a BOGO ticket offer only on a Saturday. This is a popular day for making bookings and going out, so there will always be high demand for tickets – especially for popular movies or shows.
Try to book your tickets early. There may be a limit on the number of BOGO tickets available, so keep a close eye on the latest release dates and schedules.
Some credit cards, like HSBC Premier, offer BOGO ticket bookings every day of the week. Others offer discounts on live events such as concerts or sports on any day, so look out for credit card offers and try to book in advance.
You can save even more if you combine your ticket purchase with reward points you've already earned.
Check how many points you have available and if you can combine the two offers at once when using a movie ticket offer on a credit card.

Some credit cards may offer a discount on a second ticket. Others may have special offers on additional tickets. Take some time to check the terms and conditions and special offers and make the most of these.
You may also be eligible for special dining offers, depending on your credit card. This can make your night out even more enjoyable, especially if you can save money.
Most credit card providers partner with restaurants and cafes to offer a discount if you pay with your credit card. Study the credit card features and benefits and see if you can combine dinner at a top-rated restaurant with a show to make it a memorable evening.
If you're using an HSBC credit card, you can follow these steps:
Having a credit card that offers benefits like free movie tickets means you can make the most of your spending and enjoy the rewards.
All you need to do is work out which credit card aligns with your needs, which one you qualify for, and which one offers the most benefits.
