Question

Do I have to print the movie ticket(s) I've ordered online?

Community Answer

It is not necessary to print the movie tickets (unless it is written on the website of the movie theater). You can usually screenshot the tickets or save the tickets as a PDF on your smartphone. Oftentimes, it is better to save it on your smartphone than printing it on paper.

Question

Where does the CW code appear at on the card?

Community Answer

You are probably referring to the CVV ("Card Verification Value") code, not CW. At the back of your card there will be a three digit number for visa cards (look from right to left), that will be your CVV number. On American Express Card there will be 4 digit either on the front or back of your card. Normally, CVV numbers are written in smaller size than the normal size of the card number.

Community Answer

It is not necessary to print the movie ticket now. Due to the global pandemic, movie theatres look after safety measures and have encouraged online ticket booking along with QR Code scanning.
