AT&T has officially started its new rewards program by offering all of its post-paid wirelss customers a free movie ticket if they buy one for a Tuesday showing at an AMC or Regal movie theater.
Via (the Ticket Tuesdays page) the customer will simply validate their mobile number and will then be directed to movietickets.com where a coupon code for their free ticket will automatically be applied at checkout when they buy one full price ticket. The free tickets are available to qualifying customers, one per account, once a week during the length of the AT&T THANKS program—while supplies last each week. Participating theaters are AMC Theatres and Regal Entertainment Group – the two largest movie theatre chains in the country. That's nearly 1,000 theaters and 13,000 movie screens.
AT&T also plans to offer pre-sale tickets for select Live Nation concerts later this year as part of the rewards program.

AT&T customers can claim free movie ticket as part of new rewards program
Who sees movies on a Tuesday?
Cool. I wish I was head of AT&T. Sit back and let the checks roll in while I steal every idea from John Legere at T-Mobile.
This story misrepresents the AT&T offer. It's not about getting a free movie ticket by paying for one. They're giving you a free COMPANION ticket when you buy the first one. In other words, you can bring a friend with you for free, but you cannot get a free ticket to watch another movie at another time. Work out the math, and you're looking at a 50% discount on a non-3D Tuesday movie showing when you buy two tickets through AT&T's affiliate link.
Coupled with the fact that this only works on Tuesdays, only "while supplies last", and involves a convoluted validation code process, and you've got yourself a pretty crappy deal.

Of course, the joke's on us, for wasting our time reading about a "generous" offer from AT&T, one of the sleaziest and stingiest companies in the country.
