We can’t deny it, but we do love a good freebie from time to time. There’s nothing better than being rewarded for our loyal customer service than getting an extra surprise after parting with our hard earned cash.

Well, it seems like the people at Meteor have read our minds because they’re launching their new Extras programme. The network wants to say thank you to their customers by offering them a little something extra.

The new loyalty programme, launched by the aptly titled ‘World’s Greatest Extra’ Jesse Heiman is designed to give Meteor customers some special gifts to say thank you.

Director of Meteor Maeve O’Malley said about the programme:

“We designed Extras with our customers in mind, so you can do the things you love for less – eat out, go out and catch a movie every month. Meteor has had incredible success over the years and there’s a real affection for us as an Irish brand, and Extras is our way of giving something back.”

Customers across the country will be able to avail of free cinema tickets every month in over 35 cinemas. You can also get 2 for 1 dining experiences in a range of restaraunts including Captain America’s and Milano.

2 for 1 Day Out offers are also available for various spots around the country including Thomond Park Stadium and Eagles Flying (Sligo).

So why choose Jesse to launch the programme?

Jesse earned his title after appearing in over 75 films. You may not recognise his name though, because rather than take centre stage, he’s become known as the industry’s most well-known extra.

He’s even managed to befriend A-Listers like Tom Hanks and Hilary Duff, without even having to learn any lines! Viewed by over one billion people, the 2013 Superbowl ad featuring Jesse and Bar Rafaeli getting up close and personal made sure he became something of a pop culture phenomenon.
