I mean you got paid 5 quid to rent a movie. I'd call that a win...
Okay, so go buy a gas station sandwich for that money. You weren't paid anything, you got "store credit in gift cards". Which means you paid them for a movie, they took your money, then later they "gave you back" something that doesn't have any value at all to them - they can "print" store credit anytime they want, and those small amounts won't matter in the long run.
can use it to rent another movie
