This Cinemark Movie Club Groupon is a six month membership deal that can be especially valuable when paired with discounted gift cards and occasional extra coupons. The code prices differently in the app and browser, and the membership can sometimes be activated later, which makes it possible to stretch the offer into nearly a year. Redemption works through a browser checkout flow for some accounts, but others hit errors saying the code is not applicable or already used. The listing also says it is valid for new members only, so existing account eligibility may be limited.
Moviegoers who can use a browser checkout flow, because the membership can be redeemed there and the credits can stretch to about 15 discounted screenings when paired with discounted gift cards.
People with a basic Cinemark account who want to add Movie Club later, because the membership can be applied to an existing free account and the unused credits stay available after the membership ends.
Frequent moviegoers who want to stack memberships across the year, because one membership can be activated now and another held for later activation before it expires.
Shoppers who are comfortable managing account timing, because the membership can be used on an existing account when the current Movie Club term has ended.
Existing Movie Club members who want to stack another membership immediately, because an active membership can block adding a new one until the current term ends.
Checkout can redirect to an error page or fail after the code works, including messages about an empty shopping cart or a code already used on the account.
It can be applied to a basic free Cinemark account to add Movie Club, but an active Movie Club membership usually cannot take a new Groupon until the current membership ends. The Groupon listing also says it is valid for new members only, so some accounts may be blocked from redemption.
Use a browser, click "Join Movie Club," then enter the promo code at the bottom of the checkout page before signing in at the top. That flow worked for some accounts and avoids the app-based redemption issues.
You have 6 months to activate it after purchase. That lets you buy one now and, if needed, hold another to activate later after the first membership ends.
Unused credits do not disappear when the Movie Club membership expires; they remain in the basic Cinemark account and expire 6 months after the membership ends. That makes it possible to keep using leftover credits after the paid membership period is over.
Yes. The code can price differently in the app versus browser, and additional Groupon coupons or cashback can lower the cost further. Pairing it with discounted Cinemark gift cards can bring the effective movie cost down substantially.

Groupon's coupon codes sometimes discount different amounts in mobile app vs browser -- code FUN discounts to $42 (25%) in app, $44.80 (20%) in browser. Groupon has different coupons every few days and often there are 30% off coupons, which would take this down to $39.20. Also check cashback options.
This deal is even better used in conjunction with a discounted gift card, such as the Cinemark $50 GC for $40 at Costco. For less popular movies, I go on discount Tuesdays ($5.25 with the membership) and use the GC credit, and for more popular movies I go on other days and use the Movie Club credits. Between the 6-mth Movie Club credits and $50 GC, I can see 15 movies, which works out to about $6 each actual cost.
PRO-TIP: This Groupon is usually only available for a few weeks each year, but you have 6 months to activate the membership. So, you can buy one now and immediately activate it. Then buy another in a week, which you can hold and activate after the first membership ends, giving you a full year of this deal.

Is that from a browser? I've been trying to find it in the Cinemark app but no luck

Seems like people are getting mixed results now. I don't want to buy the Groupon only to find out it can't be applied. Could I still apply the credit to my gift card balance regardless?
How are you applying it to an existing membership? I get an Invalid promo or gift code message when I apply it in the Redeem movie club gift. Thanks
I think there might be some confusion here between having a basic Cinemark account/membership (free) and the Movie Club membership. I think the person you replied to had a basic account but not a Movie Club membership, in which case the Groupon can be applied to the basic account to add a Movie Club membership. However, if you currently have an active Movie Club membership, you cannot "add" this membership to your current active membership -- you would have to wait until the current membership ends, then activate this membership. You have 6 months to activate this membership from date of purchasing the Groupon.

Redeeming through the checkout page by entering the promo code at the bottom and signing in at the top can work when followed closely.
Using the Groupon promo code in a browser can apply the membership to an existing Cinemark account.
Activating one 6-month membership and then activating a second shortly after can extend Movie Club value up to about a full year.
Unused Movie Club credits can remain in the basic Cinemark account after the Movie Club membership expires.
Redemption can fail with errors like "Invalid promo or gift code" or "code is not applicable for this account."
Checkout can redirect to an error page or fail after the code works, including messages about an empty shopping cart or a code already used on the account.
Applying the Groupon to an existing Movie Club membership can fail, requiring waiting until the current membership ends.
The Groupon offer may be limited to new members only, which can block existing customers from purchasing or redeeming.
