Collect memories.
Get rewards.

There's something about going to the movies. It smells like
popcorn, you're with your buddies and you might just see the next
best movie ever. AMC Stubs takes all of those little things you
love about going to the movies and adds these excellent benefits:

$10 AMC Stubs Reward for every $100 you spend
Free upgrades on concessions anyday, anytime
Online ticket purchase fees waived
Access to your online ticket stub collection

So at first I kinda refused to buy into it once they went to charging for membership but finally caved in when I was able to get for $6 and its actually much better. Also keep in mind, the card costs $12 unless you were a previous AMC movie watcher member in which I think you can get for $6 online with your old number. But that money is applied to the $100 you need for a reward. Again, if you go to the movies a lot, it’s definitely worth it.


Here’s what you need to know about the Stubs programs at AMC: if you live near an AMC theater you want to get the card. What it does is collect every dollar you spend (either on concessions or tickets) and when you’ve spent $100, you get $10 in rewards back. It’s basically like a 10% off card. In addition, you get free upgrades. So if you buy a small drink, with the card, they give you a medium. Same for popcorn.

Also, if you’re someone that likes buying tickets online, if you use a Stubs card, you don’t pay online ticketing fees at either MovieTickets.com or Fandango.

Obviously if you don’t live near an AMC theater this is all meaningless info, but if you go to one on a regular basis, this is a no brainer.

LeAnn had the Movie Watches reward until AMC changed their format just recently. Looks like you have to spend "more" money to get the deal. Besides we don't go as much as we used to, but I'm sure it will benefit someone.

I was a long time Movie Watchers member then I moved to a place which is near another movie theater company (Century). Didn't go to an AMC Theatre for a while after that. However, recently my family has been going to quite a bit of IMAX 3D shows (as opposed to the Real 3D shows at Century) so I decided to join the Stubs Reward program. With the crazy prices for both tickets and concessions, I'll get that membership fee back in no time.

Ya I just bought mine and I already have 40 bucks into from 2 tickets, 1 large drink, 1 bag of skittles and the membership price itself. I guess its cool they count the membership fee.

Also, if you buy tickets at fandango.com, the surcharge is waived for being a stubs member. Also, if you are a movie watcher member, you automatically get the stubs card (in the mail) and the $12 fee is waived for the 1st yr. I go to the movies every Sunday and it's so worth it to me.

I never got my fee waived I only got the $6 offer lol oh well 50% off but ya the fandango online fee is great for me since the "Real" Imax by me is Universal City Walk and its controlled by Fandango.

I think I was almost $100 at the very first visit, $50+ for IMAX 3D for 3 people, $30+ for food and the membership fee.

Ya with the old rewards you would only get credit for 2 tickets, now its unlimited. So thats a great new feature.

I'm really digging it, since I have a neighborhood AMC I can walk to. Too bad all the foreign/indie movies are at the Landmark and I have to trek out to Shirlington Virginia to use my A-List membership.
