Cineplex Entertainment, which supports 132 theaters in Canada serving more than 70 million visitors each year, is giving consumers the option to pay for tickets from their PayPal account, the Toronto-based company announced Feb. 11.
The PayPal option is available to consumers who buy their tickets from www.cineplex.com, Cineplex’s mobile applications or the company’s mobile website m.cineplex.com.
As part of a promotion that runs until Feb. 17, consumers who use PayPal to buy C$20 or more in tickets for Cineplex theaters will receive C$10 cash back to their PayPal account.
PayPal enables consumers to complete transactions using their PayPal account balance, bank account or credit card. When purchasing a ticket for a movie or an event at Cineplex Entertainment theaters, they may select PayPal as the payment option after they have chosen the show time and entered the quantity of tickets they want to buy. The site then transfers them to PayPal’s secure website, where they then log in to their PayPal account and confirm the transaction, according to a press release.
