What an AMC Theatres gift card gets you
An AMC gift card spends on far more than a ticket: concessions (popcorn, candy, the bottomless refills), AMC's reserved-seat and recliner upcharges, the on-screen Dolby Cinema and IMAX premium formats, and the merchandise counter. The same card also works for online and in-app ticket purchases at amctheatres.com, where you can apply it toward AMC Stubs A-List and Premiere subscription fees. Cards never expire and carry no fees or inactivity charges.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a sleeve or bought at any AMC box office. $5 to $500 per card.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable in the AMC app, online, or scanned at the box office. $5 to $200 via Dyme; up to $500 via amctheatres.com. Can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay.
You can load multiple AMC gift cards to your AMC Stubs account and draw from the combined balance, both online and in theatre — there is no documented cap on how many you combine.

Can I get a AMC Theatres gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells AMC e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant paperless delivery, not a face-value discount. The discount channels are:
- Costco or Sam's Club, in store or online. AMC is one of the most consistently discounted gift cards at warehouse clubs — multi-packs of theatre cards plus concession or e-ticket vouchers often run 15% to 25% below combined face value. Club membership required.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold AMC cards from third parties, typically a few percent below face value. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
- AMC promotions. AMC periodically runs bonus-card offers around the holidays — buy a set amount in gift cards and get an extra promo card or bonus credit. These appear on amctheatres.com seasonally.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, AMC Stubs at redemption, and Dyme Miles on the purchase. Most buyers leave that money on the table.
How to stack rewards
Three rewards programs fire on a single AMC gift card purchase through Dyme.
Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.
Gift-card resellers typically code as MCC 5947; many cards exclude this MCC from category bonuses, so an entertainment or streaming bonus usually will not apply.
Free to join. Earns at redemption, not on the gift card purchase.
AMC Stubs does not earn on the gift card purchase itself. It earns when you redeem the card on tickets or concessions, at the same rate as paying with cash or credit. Program terms →
Earn 1 Mile for every dollar you spend, and 5 Miles per dollarduring special offers — the layer the other channels can't match.
Illustrative only. Card rates, brand-program terms, and Dyme Miles offers change and vary by member; figures above are examples, not a guarantee of value.

How to buy on amctheatres.com
- Go to amctheatres.com/giftcards.
- Choose physical or e-gift, then pick a design and the amount ($5 to $500).
- Add to cart and check out. AMC does not discount gift cards directly, and AMC Stubs points do not accrue on the gift-card purchase.
How to buy in store
Any AMC box office sells gift cards. Tell the cashier the amount you want, pay with cash, credit, or another gift card, and walk out with the card. You can load any whole-dollar amount from $5 to $500, and the staff can also reload an existing AMC card at the counter.
How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Costco and Sam's Club frequently run discounted AMC multi-packs that bundle theatre cards with concession or e-ticket vouchers — among the most reliable gift-card deals at the warehouse clubs. Supermarket gift-card racks at Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, and Stop & Shop carry $25, $50, and $100 AMC cards at face value. You pay no discount at the supermarket but earn that chain's loyalty points and any fuel rewards that apply to gift-card purchases.
