      I logged into my Marcus Rewards account and believe that someone has hacked my account. I have $89.45 missing from Gift Cards that I have saved in my account, am missing $41.43 in reward points, and I can see transactions made on November 22, 2023 at a Marcus theater located in *****************, **. I live in **********, ** and was not in ** on this date, nor did I give anyone access or permission to use my account.I have tried to call **************** multiple times along with emailing them for this issue as well but have not received any correspondence.

      I was given a gift card that says it has no expiration. I attempted to use the gift card online and it didn't work. The movie website chat representative said to bring it onsite and use it in person. I attempted to use it again in person and the Movie Tavern associate said it was old and to email ***************************************************** to have them issue me a new card. It's been over a week and I haven't received a response. I want a new gift card issued that works, that matches the balance on my gift card. I believe the card has $100 on it, but I'm not sure. Their system should be able to determine that.

      Hi *****
      Thank you for reaching out.

      Looking at the history of the card number you provided, I see that the balance was $74.00 when Movie ****** joined the Marcus family in 2018, but there has been some activity since. Can you please verify if you have ever been to any of the following locations:
      -***********
      -Exton
      -Roswell

      I wasn't given the option to respond only accept or reject. To my knowledge I have never used the gift card, but have only been to ********* location, most recently to see Killers of the Moonflower, where I paid with a credit card because the gift card wouldn't work. Please tell Marcus Corp to mail a replacement gift card for the Movie Tavern in ***** in the amount of the $74 balance to:

      **********************;

      ****************                           

      ************, ** 19382

      Once I receive the replacement gift card with the matching balance, I will withdraw my complaint.

      I joined Movie Flex+ on May 2, 2023. Since this time I've received many Movie Flex+ emails that I assume are sent to all members. Many of these emails state "earn a $15 promo eGIFT CARD every three months you stay a member". I have now been a member for six months and I have not received these yet. I contacted Marcus Theatres on October 4th to ask about this. I heard back on October 10th and the email said "thank you for being a ********* member! We would like to apologize for the delays you have experienced regarding your 3 month promotional gift. We are working to ensure that your gift has the correct expiration date, so that you get the best possible value out of it. We wanted to let you know we are working on getting this gift out to you as soon as possible". I asked if there was any update on October 17th and did not hear back. I asked again on October 24th and have not heard back. I emailed most recently on October 29th and have not heard back.

      I apologize for the delay with your 3 month member promotional card.
      We were experiencing some technical issues with this but you should receive the card by Saturday November 4th, 2023.
      I also see that you have already been credited an additional $15 to your rewards account. 

      If you do not see that card on 11/4/23, please send us an email and we can get this corrected. (******************************)

      On July 15th I visited this theater. My issue is with the Bar and the fact they knowingly ripped me off. I also contacted Marcus the day after and have never received a response. I went to the 4:20 showing of elemental. During my visit I ordered a Mule from the bar. Now mind you the cost is $15 so the expectation is that it is made right. The bartender was rude the whole time and unapproachable. She did not put Ginger bear into the drink she did a mix from the soda gun. Ginger bear is not in there soda gun. The lady didn't care and the drink was undrinkable. There are cameras you can see me literally throw it out. Disgusting. I have been given no refund no apology just ripped off for visiting this place. The behavior at this theater is deplorable.

      There resolution was simply to email me and insult my integrity.  Absolutely horrible organization.  All this literally over someone that ripped me off for $15.  Marcus from the top down must have horrendous management issues.  I have asked them multiple times to just refund the $15 that they at the end of the day stole from me. This is insane for $15.

      I am sorry if you felt that your integrity was insulted. The payment information that I requested was necessary to process your refund and was in no way meant to be accusatory.
      The process has been initiated now that I do have that information and you will see that refund reflected in your bank account in 7 to 10 business days.

      The amount of work to get $15 back from this place was absurd.  They accuse you of lying and just overall disgust with them.  I will never be back Marcus is honestly just horrible.  Thanks for the $15 back and the hours of frustration.

      On 6/20/23 we went to the movie tavern in ***********, ** with the family. We ordered food which was then delivered to our seats. While the staff was giving us our food/drinks, they spilled butter loaded popcorn which got everywhere. It wasnt until the end of the movie, and after the lights turned on, that we found the butter soaked popcorn was all in her purse. Everything in her purse was soaked in butter, including the liner of the purse. We brought it up to the staff and management, which said they would submit to their insurance company. The staff took pictures of everything and we received a phone call the next day about the claim. I told the insurance adjuster what happened and that the staff has pictures. He then asked if I knew the value, which I did so I gave it to him. The purse was $558 and I have the original tag to prove. After that phone call all communication has stopped. Ive called and emailed several times with no response.

      I received an email response from the insurance company that they would reimburse a certain amount, which I immediately accepted, however I havent received any further communication. I was told there was some sort of letter that needs to be signed but the insurance company is really dragging their feet to send it to me and resolve this, which further supports the need to keep this complaint open.

      Ive sent several emails to follow up but there is no sense of urgency to resolve the issue on the insurance companies side.

      The longer this takes the more I never want to go to this theater. Its a shame that the insurance company is causing me to hate the company that they represent

      On Tuesday I had tickets to see ****************** at 11:00 am at Ronnie&#**;s H**33303035383132**H in *********, **. The movie projector was broken so at 11:30 am we were told we could get a refund. I went to the box office and requested my $18.32 refund. They called the manager and I asked for a check or cash for my refund. This is not how you get a refund at Ronnie&#**;s.If they have your money, you cannot get it back.I asked if they could go at least to the concession stand and give me my $18.32 since they did not want to write a check for what they owed me. There was no concern for what problems they were causing me. I could have lived in ***** or ***** and was never going to be in ******** again. The two readmission tickets was the only way *******#**;s was going to work with me. I believe a business needs to be able for people to pay for things with cash. I would be upset if I went to the H34333031353431**34H Theaters and gave them a $20 dollar bill and was told my money was no good and I could not see a show.I believe their policy is if we have your money, we are not going to give it back to you. A business needs to work with a customer and have concern for what my needs are.

      Because the show time has elapsed, this becomes more of a manual process and it may take 5 to 7 business days for the funds to be reflected in your bank account.

      My girlfriend and I purchased tickets online for a movie at 7:45 pm on 6/30/23. We bought tickets for the Cedar Rapids location where there is currently a youth ****** policy. We showed up the the theater to watch the movie and before being allowed to enter we were asked for ID. My girlfriend and I just graduated college and are both 22. I showed my ID, but my girlfriend did not bring her wallet as I was paying for snacks. Since she did not bring ID we were not allowed in to enjoy the movie. Workers and security stated that the policy was online. We looked and the policy we found stayed that, for all movie starting after 6pm or later, guest under ************************************************** legal guardian 25 years of age or older. Neither of us are under the age of 18, nor do we look close to being under 18. Were upset because we wasted time, money, and gas to get to and from the theater for an avoidable issue. The policy does not state that ID must be shown to get into the theater, and if you are going to be requiring ID to get in then it needs to be stated. We were given a refund for the tickets but since my girlfriend bought the tickets and did not bring her wallet we were unable to get the money back on her card. We were instead given a gift card with the amount of the two tickets which we are not planning to use at your theaters. Meaning we lost time, gas, roughly $30 due to your policy not being clearly written.

      (I cannot find any ticket or payment details with the information you provided. That information is needed to process a refund back to the original form of payment.)

      Please clarify, so that we may work on a resolution.

      Thank you

      Let me start off by saying I work almost 70 hours a week. I had some free time on 3/25 and bought movie tickets to take my elderly father to a movie at the Hill **** location in ************, ****. I do not live there, however my dad does, and I was visiting. When we get there the power had went out (which is out of everyone control, I'm not complaining), so the person working the front door was turning everyone away. I don't want to give this person too much leeway but I used to work in retail and I understand people are just rude and after turning away a few hundred people she probably got cursed out a few times (I'm only assuming). Anyway, she rudely tells us the power is out and they are closed. I ask about a refund and she says there will be none and that I can come back at a later date for movie passes. I inform her that I don't live anywhere near there, am only visiting my father to take him to a movie and won't be able to come back to this location anytime soon. She just shrugs her shoulders and closes the door. I'm upset at this point but decided I'd call and speak to a manager once the power was back up so I can somehow get a refund. I called multiple times throughout the week and the phone just rang. Today 3/30, I thought about it and there is actually a Marcus theatre near where I actually live. I briefly stepped in and immediately asked to speak to a manager. The manager, *******, at ****************************************************************** location is immediately condescending. I explain the situation and he gives me an ultimatum to get new movie tickets for today and today only. I informed him I might be able to come back tomorrow if I could get my tickets for then, but he would not budge. I then explained my entire story again and how I just want this made right. He then "realizes" that I paid for tickets at a different location and now will not give me any. I can only infer why I was dismissed and not given good customer service. I just want this made right.
