Movie tickets for ~$3.50 each, must use by 11/30.

"All items must be purchased in one shopping order. Limited to product in stock. No Cash Back. Offer valid between 7/25-8/30/2008. Codes can be entered through 9/15/08. Downloaded e-movie cash certificates must be redeemed by 11/30/08. Please refer to 8/10 circular for participating product details."

Walgreens has a promotion that if you buy 4 Axe products, you get two free movie tickets (1 free movie ticket for 3 products, 2 free movie tickets for 4 products). If you want to get multiple tickets, buy them in different transactions (i.e. if you buy 8 it doesn't give you 4 tickets, just 2).

They have the travel size gel for $1.59 at my Walgreens (across the aisle from the other Axe products, not next to them).

So that's (at least in NV) $1.59 * 4 + 7.75% tax = $6.85 for 2 movie tickets, or around $3.50 each. They're movie cash, so there's no restrictions (up to $12 off per ticket).

The wording in the coupon makes it seem like you got ONE free movie ticket, but fret not. Buy 4 products and when you enter the code at home, you will have TWO tickets.

I only bought 44 for the 30 movie tickets (long story and not reproduceable) and they were in four separate visits

Thinking of posting at work and selling them at a buck each.

Is this promotion in an ad, on a website or are there signs visible in the store? Don't want to walk up to the counter demanding my movie tickets and receive some blank stares and funny looks!

Updated the first post with bolded info

And there's really nothing to it. Go with four items and after you pay right at the end the paper printer spits it out. There's nothing to enter or do to it.

Quick reminder: Check your coupon slips for the pin before heading off! I stopped at one more Walgreens on my way home, the coupon said "Pin Unavailable." I assume the machines weren't connected to the internet/online. Then they gave me a by mail form, 8-10 weeks processing I noticed (they expire in November), so I'm just going to return them tomorrow.

Yeah where it says "enter code to redeem", if the machine doesn't have an online pool to pull it from, it says "pin unavailable" in that spot. Forgot to give you your deserves thanks too, thanks Deb!

Take a little give a little The site's theater locator is down on their site. I think they're being hammered. I'd love to be an Axe exec who is now scratching his head wondering why Axe products went up 1000% in sales from one day to the other

I just went there and bought 4 of the Phoenix trial size body sprays for $1.99 and it did not work. Does it print out on the same machine as the receipt or on a seperate printer?

It prints out in that little coupon printer, not on the receipt printer.

Confirmed in Beaumont, CA Walgreen... It took me forever to find the "travel size" stuff though.

Edit to add: Thanks Deb!

I visited the closest Walgreens to me and the trial size containers of Axe were cleared out. Coincidence? Hmmmm....

I'm going to hit my Walgreen's today, hopefully this deal's not dead/product is still available.
Side note: Every time I visit another forum, I am constantly made aware of the higher moral standards of DVDTalkers. Maxing out a deal legitimately is one thing, but damn, SD is full of thieving bastards (it would not even cross my mind to do what some of those scumbags are doing.)

Remember that you can buy in until Aug 30th so there's plenty of time to restock (although the more you wait the less time you have to buy tickets). You can buy a couple of tickets a week

Got mine. Well, mostly, I can't get the printer to work, but it says I have 72 hours to print them. Yay for instant redemption.
I saw no signage or promotional material, and the cashier almost didn't notice the paper print out (I did though). "Oh! You got a free movie ticket! That''s a deal!"
My store had plenty of both full size and trial size, but we'll see how long it lasts.
Any limit to the number of codes one can redeem? Or do you just have to put in different names?
Thanks for the find.

Doesn't the redemption site allow you to save the tickets as PDFs? I usually crop them before printing because 2/3 of the page is a waste of ink.
