A trip to the movies can feel like a splurge, especially when you’re buying tickets, snacks, and drinks for more than one person. But if AMC Theatres is your go-to, there’s good news—you can keep the cinematic experience and cut back on the cost with the right combination of rewards programs and cashback strategies.
Here’s how to make the most of your next AMC night without sacrificing the popcorn.
Join AMC Stubs for Built-In Perks
AMC offers its own rewards program called AMC Stubs, with three tiers: Insider (free), Premiere, and A-List (both paid). Even the free version gives you access to:
- $5 reward for every 5,000 points earned
- Free size upgrades on popcorn and drinks
- Discount Tuesdays at participating locations
- Waived online ticket fees (for paid members)
AMC Stubs members also earn points on all purchases, which can be redeemed for future tickets or concessions.
Use a Cashback App for Gift Cards
One of the easiest ways to instantly save money on your movie night is by using gift card cashback apps. You can earn cashback at AMC when you purchase a digital gift card through platforms like Fluz. Since gift cards work just like cash at the box office or concession stand, you’ll get instant rewards on your purchase while still earning AMC Stubs points.
Fluz allows you to buy a gift card for the exact amount of your total purchase, which means you can pay for your ticket right at the counter—no need to plan ahead. You can also combine the gift card with any ongoing AMC promotions.
Stack Your Savings
For the ultimate movie night hack, combine all three approaches:
- Use Fluz to buy a digital AMC gift card and get cashback instantly
- Pay with your AMC Stubs account to earn points
- Go on a Tuesday to access discount pricing at most theaters
It’s a smart, layered strategy that makes the most of every dollar spent.
Look for Limited-Time AMC Deals
AMC often offers time-limited deals like combo upgrades, themed promotions, or special pricing for new releases. Check the official AMC offers page before your visit to see if there are any seasonal savings or bundled discounts available.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need to sacrifice comfort or convenience to save money at the movies. With a few smart steps—like using a digital gift card and maximizing loyalty rewards—you can keep the cinematic experience and stretch your budget at the same time.
