Joining a movie theater’s loyalty program might seem like a small perk—but when used consistently, it can unlock serious savings. From discounted tickets and free upgrades to birthday rewards and waived fees, these programs are built to reward regular moviegoers. Here’s a breakdown of how to get the most out of them.

AMC Stubs
AMC Theatres offers three tiers of its Stubs program:

• Stubs Insider (Free): Waived online fees on Tuesdays, birthday reward, and access to $5 Discount Tuesdays.
  
• Stubs Premiere ($15/year): All Insider perks plus free size upgrades on popcorn and drinks, and priority lines at box office and concessions.
  
• AMC Stubs A‑List ($25/month and up): See up to 3 movies a week in any format, including IMAX and Dolby, with all Premiere perks included.
  

Regal Crown Club
The Regal Crown Club is free and lets members earn credits on every purchase. Perks include:

• Free popcorn upgrades
  
• Birthday freebies
  
• Exclusive sweepstakes
  
• Ability to redeem credits for free tickets or snacks
  

Using the Regal app ensures your credits are tracked and redeemable even if you forget your card.

Cinemark Movie Rewards
Cinemark offers two options:

• Movie Fan (Free): 1 point per $1 spent, access to discount days, and exclusive deals.
  
• Movie Club ($9.99/month): 1 ticket per month, 20% off concessions, and rollover ticket credits.
  

Tickets are good for any 2D movie, and unused ones roll over month to month.

How to Maximize Your Rewards

• Always scan your membership at purchase—whether in person, online, or through an app
  
• Combine points with special promotions (e.g., seasonal bonus offers)
  
• Use rewards toward expensive snacks or premium format tickets
  
• Stack your loyalty rewards with discounted gift cards for added savings
  

Boost Your Rewards With Cashback Tools
Pairing your loyalty perks with cashback platforms can stretch your savings even further. When booking online through Fandango or Atom Tickets, activate cashback via Rakuten or Ibotta.

You can also earn cashback with AMC or Regal gift cards using Fluz, allowing you to double up on savings: rewards on the purchase, and rewards on the spend.

Final Thoughts
Theater loyalty programs are free or low-cost ways to keep your movie habits budget-friendly. If you visit the movies even a few times a year, signing up and combining rewards with smart purchase tactics can make your entertainment dollar go further.
