Yes. If you and your partner, if applicable, each achieve 48 activity points a month, you’ll also unlock voucher codes for them too.

What if I’ve generated more than one cinema code online and they expire on different dates?
If you have two or more adults on your plan, you may earn cinema tickets at different times, so you could have more than one cinema ticket with different expiry dates.
