'''Cineworld Unlimited''' | |||
Cineworld Unlimited is a membership in which you can watch as many films as you want at a Cineworld cinema during the active period of your membership plan. The choice of membership plans are: | |||
(i) Pay Monthly Plan; | |||
(ii) Pay Upfront (3 months) Plan; or | |||
(iii) Pay Upfront (12 months) Plan. | |||
Regardless of the plan that you choose, during sign up it is set to automatically renew monthly after the end of the plan. To avoid the automatic renewal you have to contact Cineworld after signing up either via an online form, email, or by post,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20260531150343/www.cineworld.co.uk/static/en/uk/terms/unlimited#Application%20Process%20and%20Your%20Minimum%20Term</ref> this is despite the fact you can sign up for the membership via the mobile app or the browser<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20260531154449/https://help.cineworld.co.uk/support/solutions/articles/103000314246-how-do-i-apply-for-an-unlimited-card-online-</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20260531154528/https://www.cineworld.co.uk/static/en/uk/unlimited</ref>. | |||
