How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Make Date Night A Breeze With Visa Checkout! Giveaway

in Lifestyle, Uncategorized on 04/19/15

Taking care of the kids, lending a hand with the PTA, juggling work commitments, grabbing groceries, and driving carpool.  Add in homework, endless laundry, Dentist Appointments and even Doggy obedience school.  Everything seems urgent, all of it must be done now!  What ends up falling at the wayside?  The good old fashioned date night!  Reality is date nights with the one we love the most can be truly difficult to fit in.  So when the chance comes along to grab that loved one and see a fabulous movie complete with butter soaked popcorn and maybe a candy bar or two, you have to go for it!  What you don’t want to do?   Waste a moment with the fussy bits; standing in line for those movie tickets for 20 minutes only to end up stumbling to remember usernames, passwords or coupon codes or worse, getting to the kiosk only to find out the flick you want to see has sold out!

Thanks to Visa Checkout your online shopping experience and that elusive date night is more enjoyable and convenient than ever. Visa Checkout is easy, providing a single account sign-in that can be used across all your devices. By entering a username and password, you can speed through your online shopping experiences with no need to re-enter your card number or address.

Here’s how it works:

Canadians can sign up to breeze through online checkout.

  • StepOne: Create a username and password.
  •  StepTwo: Enter your payment and shipping information. (You only have to do this once)
  • StepThree: Look for the Visa Checkout button when you’re shopping online, enter your username and password, and go!VCO Cineplex 2

More reasons to love Visa Checkout?

Sign-in becomes even faster if you choose the “remember me” feature.  Your username will be automatically displayed and you only have to enter your password.  Brilliant for those of us that can never remember our usernames!

Visa Checkout gives shoppers a secure way to pay online with Visa’s advanced security tools and Zero Liability for consumers in case of fraud.  Security is everything.

Bonus, you can use Visa Checkout at many of your favourite Canadian online stores; I may have done just a little bit of shopping at some of my favourite stores this weekend without ever leaving my house. I hit up Banana Republic, London Drugs and Staples to name a few and I’m excited to hear many more of my faves will be joining Visa Checkout each month.  You can find a full list of stores currently available here.  https://checkout.visa.com/shopping.

When you’re on the site, be sure to watch for some incredible special deals!  Insider tip:  From now through May 3, 2015, Canadians who use Visa Checkout on Cineplex.com will receive their next movie free! Yes, a free movie!  Find all the details here.

This past weekend I decided to squeeze in a date night and streamline my evening by using the VisaCheckout.  I called up the site, selected Entertainment and picked my theatre.  In no time at all I had found my desired movie, requested two tickets, and was through the simple checkout process.  My movie tickets secured for a night at the show, the only decision left to make was what size popcorn to buy!  Um, regular of course, so I could justify the M&Ms.  Don’t judge, this kind of calorie math makes perfect sense to me.

I adore a good movie; the lights turn down, the volume cranks up, and for two hours you are lost in a world where reality is suspended.  A true escape made easier thanks to Visa Checkout.  Are you ready to escape reality for a couple of hours?  Do you know someone who might love a night at the movies?   If you do than I have amazing news for you, a giveaway!

One lucky reader of How To Survive Life In The Suburbs will win a $100 Visa gift card, so they can enjoy a night out with their families complete with all the fixings!   All you have to do is tell me, “Why are you excited to use Visa Checkout?”.  This giveaway is open to residents of Canada over the age of 18.  Closes May 13, 2015.  Good luck!

      I like that I have the speed & option to book tickets to pretty much any concert or movie from my living room…that’s pretty fantastic! It can be a task to haul 4 wee ones to stand in line to get ticket to see a show.

      The convenience by far is why this is exciting. I usually have a fairly hectic schedule so to use the Visa Checkout as an option is fantastic! Hopefully we can enjoy a great movie night as a family 🙂
