What the heck is wrong with Fandango and approving the promos for the Annie's and Dr. Pepper offers? I had a problem 2 weeks ago and now my brother is having the same problem with receipt submissions not being approved in a timely manner for Dr. Pepper. Submission Confirmation Number: f580afe*******ffe*******f*******e5ea*******d. The promo states 2-5 days for approval and today is day 10! Also, his Annie's submission was flagged after the very first submission and has not heard anything from Fandango customer service for 17 days now after challenging the status. This is a REALLY REALLY BAD LOOK for Dr. Pepper, Annie's, & Fandango and a lot of people are venting about similar issues in a Facebook movie group I'm in with 27,000 other members. Needs to be fixed ASAP.

Crystal: They may give passes.
Crystal: Is there anything else I can help you with today, True?
True Shotta: Where does it say it at?
True Shotta: They may give passes.
Crystal: Yes, guest passes for a show.
True Shotta: I am saying where does it say that they will do that, on your company policy.
Crystal: It does not say the theatre will on our policy. It is up to the theatre.
True Shotta: But you just said that it did.
True Shotta: I asked all of these questions
True Shotta: And you said it is on your website
Crystal: They are nothing I can do since it is after the show.
True Shotta: It does say on your policy under term and policies that on paragraph two "From time to time, we may revise these Fandango Terms and Policies", So revise them now and give me back my money.
True Shotta: I dont want to do business with con artist
True Shotta: I wanted to change the dates and use the service
Crystal: We can not change a order once it is processed.
True Shotta: But you said that the threatre handles that, I said where does it say that at, you said its on your website. I go to your website and it does not say that on there. I want my money back for lying to me.
True Shotta: As a compamy this is ridiculous
Crystal: Though I understand your position and I appreciate the effort you have put forth to clarify for me, I am still unable to grant your request. Fandango endeavors to give our customers the best experience we can, but we are not always able to grant every request.
True Shotta: Wont change my date, then you lied to me
Crystal: Thank you for making Fandango your choice for online movie tickets. Have a great day!
Crystal has disconnected.
DEF Going To BBB
I'm not understanding, WHY FANDANGO, did NOT, have the movie Blackkklansmans? At Greenspoint Mall! ******* area!
I found out mere moments after the show started that I'd accidentally purchased 2 sets of tickets for the movie. It was too late to cancel for credit on Fandango app, so I live chatted them later for a refund. Big surprise: They refused to grant me one.
I have spent HUNDREDS of dollars with them and have been loyal for years. Crediting me back my $33.00 is negligible compared to the future THOUSANDS of dollars of fees they won't collect from me.
#CustomerServiceIsARealThing. #CustomersDontMatterThough
Went online as a guest the night before the movie paid for 3 tickets. Next day 1/2 hr before the movie start time still no email confirmation or debit withdraw so i assumed i made mistake. Made another purchase and got my email confirmation immediately. Received an another email confirmation from Fandango while at the theaters for the 1st purchase.
The next day i did an online chat which informed me that i do not qualify for a refund since i didn't call before the movie. Huh?
I take responsibility for a few things i should have done different. Perhaps have made an account with fandango which turns out is quite easy and has all previous purchases made. However we put our trust in a site that is suppose to be of service to us and instead has robbed me of my hard earned money.
I looked them up on the Better Business Bureau and had over 500 complaints. I feel we need to all get together and make this a big deal.

Thanks for reading..
Use another company who cares
A glitch in Fandango app defaulted ticket purchase to wrong cinema and could not get support over phone in time prior to show time so no exchange.
I was in Salisbury, MD and booked 2 tickets to Regal Cinema Stadium 16. The show started at 10:15pm and it was about 10:05pm when teller said the tickets are for another theatre and that I will have to contact fandango for a refund or exchange. I purchased tickets directly from theatre to still catch the show. In the meantime I called Fandango and was on a long hold all the way into when the show started and never got an actual human to help get an exchange. At this point movie started and I figured I would have to contact them tomorrow so I could at least enjoy the show. The next day after contacting Fandango, I was told they could not refund or exchange because it had to be done prior to watching the show. I tried escalating with supervisor and still would not be credited 2 tickets to another movie.
Everyone should file a Better Business Complaint and review as I did.
You can file a complaint on Fandango LLC here

I even went as far as filing a complaint with Department of Justice and Attorney General of Los Angeles.
Just don't
Bad, Bad, Bad!
