I had subscribed for a Yearly plan with Sinemia to watch 2 movies/month for 2 members of my family. They have terminated my account without any violat
I have never misused Sinemia App not violated any terms and conditions of the annual plan. However, I see that my plan is terminated when I tried to book tickets for a movie this evening. I had received an email today morning saying that ID verification is successful and no further information is required from me.
I had so far watched only 5 movies (2 people) out of 8 movies (*2 ppl) which I am allowed to watch so far. I had checked-in for every movie properly in their App. I have the receipt of all the movies I have watched so far except one.
I had paid $311.88 on 11/21/2018 and another $9.99 on the same day for cardless activation. I have paid $1.8 2 for all the movies & another $30 towards a $35 worth of Gift card on 12/24/2018.
Their advertised price at the time of purchase was $12.99 per person per month (bought for 2 persons under family plan). So far, 3 full months have got over. I haven't been able to use their service for the current 4th month. So ,for the 3 completed months, I can pay $12.99 2 persons 3 months = $77.94. Till now, I have paid $3.6 per movie for a total of 5 movies. So $3.6 5 = $18. Plus cardless activation fee of $9.99 and a $35 gift card for $30. So, the total money Sinemia owes me is $311.88 + 18 + 9.99 + 30 - 77.94 = 291.93.

I have not committed any fraud. I have the receipts for all the movie tickets I had booked and watched. I also have the google location tracker showing that I was in the theatre during the duration of the movies. I can submit them to you to prove my stance.
There is no explanation in my account showing which particular terms & conditions I had violated & by how. They are only giving template responses in Twitter, Sinemia accounts & even in Revdex.com here.
Sinemia is terminating accounts for violating their terms of use when no violation has occurred.
I bought my annual 3 movies a month membership in November 2018. Originally it was about 118 dollars. I have used it how it was intended to be used. I checked in every time at the movies. Even paid their stupid 1.80 fees each time. Then they asked for ID Verification, a photo of your Driver's License and a picture of you holding it up to your face, they said I was verified. I bought a 50 gift card for 35 dollars from them to use to pay the fees because they had a sale of 30% off the gift cards, which was a good deal. Then when I went to go use the gift card you had to pick your credit card and the gift card and my gift card wasn't being charged, my credit card was. This was eventually fixed. I tried contacting their customer service, which is terrible, to get a refund or at least to charge my gift cards instead. I tried multiple times, through their website, email and social media. Didn't hear anything back. They then started charging a convenience fee of $1, which you used to be able to say the movie theater app didn't charge fees, which was true because buying them through Facebook they waived the convenience fee. So they charged even more. Then all of a sudden when I was close to breaking even I got terminated for no reason. They couldn't even email us to tell us this. My family and I were going to buy movie tickets for today and that is when we discovered it by logging into our account on the website. I really thought I liked this company because of how many movies I got to see then I normally am not able to afford.
I would like a refund of all my expenses with them. Then didn't fulfill their end of the agreement by providing 12 months of service. I only got 4 months. I don't appreciat the business terminating the service saying I didn't follow their terms of use, when I did.

I didn't break the terms of service. There was no reason my account should have been terminated and Sinemia can't provide any proof or evidence that they were justified in doing this. I paid 8.99 a month for 3 movie tickets for 12 months up front. I asked for a refund and they took what I paid and deducted the price of the actual movies I saw instead of (8.99/3). I am disputing this with my bank, unless Sinemia would like to refund me for what I am actually owed.
They have wrongfully cancelled my 2 accounts. I have full documentation to prove otherwise and will not respond to any attempts
They have cancelled my 2 1-year memberships. Both without reason and both they will not respond to. I have joined my name now to a class action lawsuit and I am compiling locals to join a local civil suit and am pursuing other such groups in NY and CA through associates there.
A full refund of all of the months in which they cancelled my service early. Even though I had 9 documented issues during the months that my subscriptions did 'work' I did receive the service. I am only seeking a full refund for all the months that were terminated early.

Sinemia is now requiring me to upload a copy of my government issued ID and a copy of me holding the ID to use the account.
I was all for Sinemia despite the constant changes. When I signed up I was suppose to receive a card...it never came. Then I opted for the "cardless" option so I could actually use the service I signed up for. The first couple of times it did not work and a few theaters were not listed nor the premium screen options. Then they role out the fees "per ticket" (I had Sinemia for 2) so now I have an additional fee to pay when using the service. THEN - I go to purchase tickets and get the following notice:
(Begin Of Message) ID verification required - Awaiting documents
We did not receive all of the necessary ID verification documents within the required time frame and you have been granted an extension period to upload the missing items. Please upload the required documents and start the ID verification process as soon as possible.
Once you upload the necessary documents, you will be able to get your tickets as usual. If your documents are approved, this means you are ID verified and you do not need to take further action.
If your documents are rejected and we are not able to verify your identity through the ID verification process, your account may be terminated and the cost of the tickets you have used during the ID Documents Review process may be charged to your payment method on file. You will be notified of the outcome once your documents are reviewed. For more info, please click here. (End Of Message)
Like an unwise person; I initially followed through with the new request and kept receiving notices that it was declined or something was not right. I am hesitant to use the service because I do not want them charging my card for any tickets. Tried disputing for the "remaining months" but they replied and the charges were applied back to my card. At this point it is money gone. It was nice while it lasted. I will not continue to upload copies for my government issued ID AND a picture of me holding the ID. Now I have not been able to use the service since February and had through May left.
I want a refund for the remaining months of my year of service I paid for in full (February - May)
Hi. ID verification is required to prevent fraud and keep Sinemia sustainable and affordable. By verifying your ID, you help us ensure you are who you say you are and that you are the sole user of your Sinemia account. Also, once you upload the necessary documents, the ticketing feature will be automatically turned on. Also, since you requested a chargeback, you are unable to log into your account. Once you provide either the letter of withdrawal or the conclusion letter, our support will be able to take the necessary actions.
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Prior to issuing a charge back with my financial institution I complied with the request for ID verification. The verification was rejected numerous times and kept asking me to upload documents over and over. It is also stated that the hold is released and I can get tickets again BUT that I will be charged for any tickets (full price) if my identification is not verified. So with a history of having my documents rejected I am not able to use the service in fear of being falsely charged.
I also contacted customer service (which I can only receive a response via twitter) that informed them that the financial institution did not grant the request for the charge back due to the response from Sinemia.
The account is still locked and I cannot get any additional information. I have requested a refund for the months remaining that I have not been able to utilize the service and confirmation that my card will not be charged again for renewal as I do not want to continue with this service.
Without any proper justification or proof they are terminating users account. They have been doing a lot these days and they just be questioned.

They just ***'t say it is automated They need to show us a valid proof as in when and where did we misuse. If they cannot show any concrete findings of violations, ***'t just say it is automated.
Sinemia has wrongfully terminated my 1 year subscription and refuses to clarify why. There has been many past service issues as well.
For username: *** with email: ***@pacificu.edu. I was one of many whose account was terminated when I tried to use it on 3/15/19. I got the same message from Sinemia indicating it was terminated for misuse, which I never did. I had paid for 1 year of the subscription service and only received nearly 4 months of its use. Among those 4 months I have also had service disruptions and issues with the Sinemia App that did not allow me full use of the benifits. There were hidden fees during that time, and I even bought an extra Sinemia card once it was implemented to reduce fees, but I didn't even get to use that long enough to get the value back.
I'm seeking a full refund of the initial 1 year subscription of $107.88 and I will waive the fees and card fee. Alternatively, I would be open to a prorated refund for 2/3 of that unused subscription of $71.92 plus the $34.99 of card and unclear fees equating to $106.91.

I reject the response because the company is accusing customers of fraud and terminating the accounts when this is not true, just as it is not true for me. They offered approximately $15 in refund when I went through the process described, which is not adequate compensation for the 8 months of service they are wrongfully terminating.
Sinemia terminated my account without any reason
Sinemia terminated my account without any reason. They introduced convenience fees that is not applicable to me as I have theatre membership. When I try to contact them to resolve problem they just terminated my account.
reinste account and remove unwanted fees.

I will not accept this generic response. There is no fraud on my account. Provide proof of fraudulent activity or this is just fraud on your part.
My account was cancelled without just cause. I want a refund on the remainder of my yearly subscription & giftcard balances that are useless now.
I purchased a yearly subscription from Sinemia on 11/25/18 for $95.88 using my credit card that included 3 movies per month in a 2D format. I then added a rush (+$9.99) on the cardless activation to my account because I had no way to use my account until it was processed. A follow up email stated that it could take 1-2 weeks to process. This fact was not disclosed before purchasing so I assumed I would be able to use the account the day of purchase.
My account is registered through Facebook login to ***@aol.com, username: ***
On 2/12/19, I purchased a discounted giftcard for the value of $25. I payed $17.50 on my credit card for this giftcard with the intention of using it to cover the convenience and processing fees that are part of the Sinemia system. On the same date I did not complete the steps to check in and paid the full price of the movie ticket as a fee. So this giftcard should have a full balance & I am owed a full refund.
To date I have successfully used this service to see three films: Once on 11/30/18, 1/5/19, and 2/17/19. The total value of this tickets is ($12+$15+$15) $42.
On 3/16/19, I went to reserve a movie ticket and was notified that there was a hold on my account that required checking the desktop website to view. I logged on to find that my account had been cancelled with a notice stating:
"Upon reviewing your account, we regret to inform you that the system has detected examples of your membership use that violates the terms of service. As a result, your account has been terminated. An account may be terminated, but not limited to, for the following reasons:
Unauthorized use of the Sinemia card/cardless outside of its intended purposes, resulting in fraudulent financial activity
The use of multiple Sinemia accounts in the same device resulting in financial abuse
Reasonable suspicion of fraud and/or abuse
Sharing one's Sinemia membership information to purchase tickets for other persons.
Manipulation of location data resulting in deceptive ticket purchases"
Note: I received no email noticed of this cancellation. It was discovered when I intended to use the account. I have not used the account since 2/17/19 so I am not clear when my account was actually cancelled.
I have not violated the rules as described and as such would like a refund of my purchases less the ticket value spent. The website claims to offer this but they have not delivered or notified me appropriately. I completed the refund form on their web page but it is having an error saying my form cannot be submitted.
Sinemia owes me the yearly subscription fee less ticket value ($95.88-42 = $53.88), the activation rush fee ($9.99) and the giftcard fee since I will not be able to use it after my account has been cancelled and blocked ($17.50).
This is a total of $81.37.

This is a total of $81.37 in check or refunded to my method of payment (credit card).

On 3/17, my transaction history report was returned to me after following the "request usage history" link. On that date, I accepted the refund (around $56) and was told it would take up to 30 days to issue my refund. Today (4/7) I logged in and the refund amount has changed to $42.91 and it looks like my request for a refund was not processed. Note: there has been no refund to my payment method. This new refund amount accounts for a ticket that I paid for as a penalty for not following the process. On 2/12 I paid $16.70, the full ticket amount, for a movie I attended on 2/9. Yet, this new refund amount accounts for 4 movie tickets purchased using my subscription. Since I paid for this ticket, my subscription refund should not account for this ticket. If I review the "Movies you've seen with Sinemia" this movie is not listed. As stated initially, there are only three movies listed in my premium membership account details that I attended on 12/1/18, 1/5/19, and 2/18/19 these movies may be discounted from my refund amount.
This transaction history & refund information is inaccurate and I will not accept the amount until it is corrected and the "ticket purchase" line for -$16.70 is removed. Additionally, I am owed the remaining balance on my gift card purchased on 2/12/19 as it is no longer useful since my account was inaccurately terminated. This gift card amount is approximately $17.50. The gift card number can be provided for processes.
This makes my total requested refund: $76.11.
Cancelled my membership without cause halfway through my annual contract and refused to explain why.
I purchased an annual membership from Sinemia on 9/17/18 for $119.98, and later purchased a physical card for $14.99.
My membership was canceled without warning on 3/16/19. I have complied with all their rules. They twice requested photo verification with my ID, and I complied. They later emailed me that the identification I had provided was acceptable and that my account was in good standing. I even paid their ridiculous processing fees wit little complaint.
Sinemia asked me to check in after each ticket purchase and, with one exception, I did. (I realized my error 30 minutes after the time window closed and immediately followed up by emailing an apology to customer service accompanied by a photo of my ticket stub proving that I had seen the show I had reserved a ticket for.) I heard nothing else about it.
One week ago, when I purchased a ticket for what would be my final movie purchase with Sinemia, I was asked to donate a "tip" of $1, $2 or $5.
I declined. The next time I attempted to purchase a ticket, I was told that my membership had been terminated.
I believe that Sinemia is acting in bad faith. The only explanation they have given is that the vague and uninformative statement that their system has detected "examples of your membership use that violates the terms of service."
I believe they terminated my account for the sole reason that I was about to pass *** break-even point and become unprofitable for them.
The website says that Sinemia will provide a refund of the difference between my membership fee and the cost of the tickets they have purchased, but in my case, that will amount to either no refund or a very small refund.
But, that isn't the deal I signed up for. I signed up to receive three tickets a month for an annual price of $120.
I lived up to my end of the agreement and I expect Sinemia to live up to theirs.
I am requesting a $75 refund -- $60 for the six months of my annual contract that were summarily and unjustly terminated and $15 for the physical card that I purchased in late December and that I have used just a handful of times.

Sinemia is making a very serious allegation fraud while refusing to provide even a shred, a scintilla or sliver of proof to bolster their charges. To the best of my knowledge, not only have I done nothing wrong, I jumped through hoop after hoop to provide all documentation that they have requested including at least twice in which they asked me to download photos of my driver's license. I have repeatedly asked Sinemia to let me know which section specifically of the user agreement they think I violated, and to provide details of the date, time, location and title of the movie involved so that I can respond meaningfully. They have repeatedly refused, saying they don't have access to this information. I believe that they cancelled my account six months to the day from the start of my 12-month user agreement because I was about to pass the break-even point. They also cancelled my account immediately after I refused their request to provide a "voluntary" tip of $1, $2 or $5. Their offer of a "refund" is unsatisfactory because they are not offering a pro-rated refund for my unused six months of service. Instead, they say are offering only the difference between the cost of my $120 annual membership and the sum they have paid to date for my tickets which in my case will be a negligible sum. But, I did not sign up to Sinemia because I wanted to pay full price for movie tickets. I can do that on my own. I signed up to purchase discounted movie tickets. Those are the terms of the contract to which we are both a party. I lived up to my end of the agreement and I expect Sinemia to live up to theirs.
They cancelled my subscription for no reason

Account was terminated with no proof of violation of terms.
On March 16th, I attempted to use my sinemia cardless account to buy an advance ticket for the movie tomorrow. Upon hitting the confirm button, I was given an error and directed to the website. The website informed me that my account has been terminated due to an unnamed violation of terms. No specifics were given. I attempted to contact the business through their Twitter and received no response. Afterward, I looked further into the issue and discovered that hundreds of other sinemia members were experiencing the same issues. I have never used the card in correctly, have always checked in to my movies, even went as far as to provide identification verification when they ask for it a month ago. There is no reason my membership should have been terminated. I would like the refund of the last 7 months of my contract. I had paid the advanced yearly subscription for $9.99 per month.
All I want is a full refund of the last 7 months of my membership.

I did get the usage history from my account, which had a transaction on it that I can prove I did not make. I followed every single rule you set out, even when you changed them with no notice. I even sent in the picture of myself next to my id to prove who I was. I never missed a check in, never used a different phone for the app, never broke a single rule. And, you as a company will not show proof of any fraud that was committed. My account was terminated 7 months before it was scheduled to end. I paid for that 7 months. That 7 months needs to be refunded to me, not the $3.80 you are offering once you ran that usage history.
Sinemia cancelled my membership without cause. They accused me of fraud but provided no prove or further information.
I purchased a one year membership in advance. Several members of my family have one as well. I submitted my identification documents for verification when they asked. I have used the service to purchase movie tickets regularly for myself. I have never engaged in fraud. I just learned that they cancelled my account without warning claiming that I engaged in fraud, but they would not provide specific information. They are keeping the remainder of my subscription price.
I would like my membership reinstated immediately

I never committed any fraud with the usage of my Sinemia card. I followed their instructions and even verified my identity with their company. They have never given any evidence of my wrongdoing because there is none.
Furthermore, I have heard from friends of mine who have the service and were not accused of fraud that their apps are frozen, and they are unable to use the service they paid for.
This is a disreputable company that is scamming people. They should be held accountable for their business practices.
Signed up for 12 months prepaid. Terminated my account without any explanation or proof and without refund. Demanding refund. Not requesting service.
I signed up for Sinemias 12 month prepaid service on 11/26/2018. 2 months after using the service, my account was terminated without prior notice, explanation or evidence of misuse. After researching, there are hundreds of other consumers also complaining about this business mal-practice. I want my refund for the unused portion of the plan- The company refuses to respond to my questions, refund requests or anything for that matter. The customer service is non-existent.
I would not return to this business should they prefer that. I just need the refund for my unused part of the 12 month subscription (10 months worth which equates to $150.00).
I am willing to speak to media about this. I will pursue with all my energy and efforts if a resolution is not reached at.
Refund of $150.00

Fraudulent business. This business has not provided any evidence that there has been a fraudulent activity on the account. This response from the business is indicative that they are cheating customers who fall into the prospective of what the business *** offer but it fails to provide that service.
Good luck to this failing business!
Sinemia abruptly terminated my prepaid membership without providing any detailed information or proof that I violated their TOS (I did not).
I subscribe to Sinemia and paid for a year in advance for the movie ticketing service. I have had issues before with the App not working or allowing me to check in properly. I have received threatening emails and been issued "fines" by the company which will not respond to me. I have filed a response with Revdex.com before as well. I tried to book a movie today and after the attempt, my account was terminated. I did not violate any TOS and have not even used the service in weeks! I have already joined a class action lawsuit and will not accept anything less than a full refund of my money paid in advance.
Full refund of all prepaid funds.

This did not address my issue. I did not fraudulently use this or any other account and Sinemia knows this full well. They have done this to countless subscribers. I have filed for a charge back from my credit card company and joined a class action lawsuit. I am entitled to a full refund (not adjusted) for the remaining months of my membership that were not used.
This company promised a 12 month movie subscription, took my money, and then cancelled my membership without cause. FRAUD
I want my 275 dollar membership back plus 65 dollars in fees they have since charged outside the original membership agreement.

Sinemia sold me a year long membership, which I rarely used. Every month or so they added additional service and usage fees, additional terms and conditions, and additional verification requirements retroactively changing the original deal without any offer to compensate or without my agreement. Then out of nowhere they cancelled my membership without warning or notice and stated my account had been flagged for fraudulent activity. When I inquired what the fraud was, they said they did not know - but the system detected fraud and automatically cancelled my membership. I prepaid for 36 movie tickets - 3 per month for 12 months and only used 12 tickets. I never commit fraud or dishonored the terms of service in any way. For Sinimea to fundamentally change the terms of the original deal soooooooo many times and then cancel my membership alleging fraud on my part is utterly laughable, altogether immoral, and a horrific business practice. As of this moment Sinemia has made no effort to substantiate what fraud was allegedly commit on my part and will not provide a method for me to speak with a customer service agent or any person for that matter in person. It seems Sinemia has no difficulty responding to the Revdex.com but again responded with generic and unsubstantiated nonsense about how their "system" made this determination and their is nothing they can do. Sinemia has frauded me - and that is the extent of the fraud in this case. They took my money and failed at every level to provide the services they sold me. The deal was 3 movies a month, advertising a per ticket price of about 3 and a half dollars each - that's what I agreed and prepaid for. Since then they added a 1.50 per ticket processing fee as well as a 5.40 booking fee per use. At the time Sinemia stole my money I was paying on average more than six dollars a movie when the original promise was to pay 3.50. After stealing the rest of my membership fee my average cost for the 12 movies I did use has ballooned to 18 dollars per movie. In our market a matinee is apx 8.00. This has been a fraud and a ripoff since I purchased my "membership". Sinemia is a fraudulent company who has robbed me blind and is now saying I'm the thief? If you ask them to support their reasoning they will just say the "system" flagged me, that's why???? This company cannot be allowed to stay in business.... They promise cheap tickets, take your money, add fees, bait you along and then run with your money once they believe your credit card will not dispute your charge. Sinemia is a sham company that is stealing people's money on purpose. Please Revdex.com help me stop this company.
Sinemia terminated my 1 year subscription with no proof or justification. Sinemia illegally tried to charge me a convience fee.
I purchased a year long subscription with Sinemia on October 12th for $119.88. The subscription was for 12 months. My subscription was falsely terminated March 15th. They stated the reason for my termination was for the following...
1. Unauthorized use of the Sinemia card/cardless outside of its intended purposes, resulting in fraudulent financial activity
2. The use of multiple Sinemia accounts in the same device resulting in financial abuse
3. Reasonable suspicion of fraud and/or abuse
4. Sharing one's Sinemia membership information to purchase tickets for other persons.
5. Manipulation of location data resulting in deceptive ticket purchases
I have not commited anything stated above. They have terminated my account without any proof. They also are not responding to me, and never directly informed me of my termination via email.
I need a refund for the remaing months of my subscription because they have unjustly terminated my subscription.
Also, I have been buying tickets from archlight movie theaters which do not have a convience fee, yet Sinemia charged me for a convience fee. Charging me a convience fee is a breach of contract.
I want a reimbursement for my remaining months of subscription. I paid for 12 months at 119.88. I need to be reimbursed for March-September. 7 months would be $69.93. I refuse to receive anything less then this. If Sinemia states that I should be reimbursed the remaining amount of movie tickets purchased - the year subscription cost that goes against their subscription. I would have never gone to a movie once a month if I didn't have a subscription.

I have followed their directions for a refund reimbursement and have received nothing and have received no confirmation of a refund.
They illegally terminated my account and have not given me reason for why my account was terminated. I believe they do not have any proof or justification for terminating my account.
I was excited to try this service but the company app didn't work and they over-billed me. I wanted to contact them but there is no phone number or address other than email. I have sent them 5 emails over the coarse of 3 weeks but they will not respond. I first asked for help and refund of over billing. I later asked to cancel and get a full refund. Either way they never respond or do anything to help.

Billing Adjustment Cancellation of service and refund
Hi. Upon reviewing your account, we see that you purchased 12 Months (2 Movie Days) (Plus) plan with "***" promo code. The plan's price is 8.99 x 12. Therefore, you have been charged 107.88. Also, our support has contacted you and provided assistance. In addition to that, your plan beginning date has been updated as a gesture of goodwill. That way, you will not be missing out any of your membership days.
Membership wrongfully terminated without cause or refund.
Paid for a 12 month membership (full year payment upfront). Account was then terminated within the first two months without refund for my membership. Sinemia says it terminated my membership for "unauthorized use", but would not respond to my inquiry of what I did that was unauthorized. I have reviewed the terms of my membership and have not committed any unauthorized activity in the two months I had the membership. Sinemia is now unresponsive to my requests for more information and my requests for a refund.
Reinstatement of my membership, or full refund of my annual dues due to Sinemia's non-compliance with their own contract policies.

They terminated subscription. Promised pro-rated refund. Link to request refund does not exist on their site. So-called "support" now not responding.
Paid $120 for 1-year subscription on 11/24/18. Service was to include the ability to view 3 free movies per month at a movie theater. Service worked fine for the first few months. Late in February 2019 they asked for identity verification so I uploaded the documents they requested (a scan of my drivers license and a photo of me holding it). On 3/4/19 they requested that same information again which I, again, provided. On 3/14/19 I received an email advising me that they were unable to verify my identity and my account had been terminated.
I contacted their support team via Twitter (the only method of contacting them with any kind of response) on 3/14 and was finally advised on 3/17/19 that the cancellation was done by an automated system and that they were unable to tell me why. I requested they reinstate the account or, if that was not possible, they create a new one and continue the remainder of the one year subscription under that new account. I was advised that they could not do that and that I would need to request a refund via their site.
The refund would be the original $120 paid less the full price of any ticket I received through their service. This "resolution" would, therefore, be retroactively charging me full box office price for what was promised to be "free" movie tickets.
Upon trying to request said refund, the method they advised me to use to request the refund was non-existent. I contacted them (again via Twitter) to advise them their site would not allow me to do as advised. There has been no response to that. Also, they now seem to have blocked me on Twitter preventing any possible future communication. They have no phone number listed for support and they have never answered any of the numerous emails I sent to them.
Considering the amount of time and hassle it has been I would prefer a full refund of the $120 paid. At a MINIMUM, I would like the promised difference between the $120 paid to them and the money they spent on the tickets. I calculate the difference to be $35.91.

That's the same canned response I originally received. As I told their support staff, the Membership area gives me no information about the reason for the automated cancellation. Also, the "Request usage history" link they reference is nowhere to be found. I notified their support staff of these issues and it was shortly after that that they stopped responding to my messages.
Sept 2018 prepurchased 1 yr sub to Sinemia; was terminated in March 2019, Sinemia will not provide what fraud I am accused of.
On 9.5.2018 I purchased a year movie subscription plan from Simemia. It was for two individuals to see three movies a month (one could be in 3D IMAX) for the price of $359.88. We were able to use our account with no issues until the evening of March 14th 2019 when we received an error on the App for Sinemia to purchase tickets. It redirected us to Sinemia's Webpage. Upon logging in I was told my account had be terminated due to fraudulent activities. I have emailed Sinemia (they have no telephone) on March 16th and 17th. I asked to be refunded the 6 months for the portion of the contract that was unfilled by Sinemia and an explanation of why my account was terminated. ***, emailed back with this response as to why my account was terminated: "We see that your account's been terminated by the system automatically. Unfortunately we cannot provide any further details as we do not have access to such information". I have not committed any fraud in going to the movies other than seeing my allotted three movies per month. I feel I have been unjustly targeted and my account wrongfully terminated because I am using the service and costing Sinemia money. I seek to have half of the membership fee, $179.94, in full without any penalties or the cost of PREVIOUS movie tickets being subtracted from the prepaid amount. I paid for 1 year of seeing 3 movies per month for 2 people, that is 72 movies for one year. I only was able to see 15 of my allotted 72 movies. Sinemia is not rendering services paid for.
Refund. I would like for the Revdex.com to fully investigate the practices of this business. I am not the only customer who has been swindled out their money. I would like to see fair business practice put into place for consumers when a company fraudulent take a consumers money up for services and then do not deliver on those services.

I paid for a year membership which was 72 movies. I was only able to use half of the movies I pre-purchased. Sinemia has no phone number or rep who can tell me how I committed fraud when using a prepaid service. I would like my money back.

Sinemia has failed to answer our questions/ concerns! They fraudulently canceled our account without any given reason. They keep saying we can contact them but we have already and haven't received any justifiable reasons. They had us pay for a year long membership plan for unlimited movies and then arbitrarily decided to cancel our subscription without cause at six months. They owe us for the remainder of the contract.
