The rewards-rich AMC Entertainment Visa Card is the only credit card that earns in-theatre rewards wherever it’s used. AMC Entertainment Visa cardholders earn AMC Stubs rewards points with every purchase. Plus, AMC Stubs points accelerate even faster for cardholders for purchases made with the card at gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants and at AMC Theatres. This is in addition to AMC Stubs points already earned at AMC Theatres as an AMC Stubs Insider, Premiere or A-List Member.

AMC Stubs members can easily convert their points into AMC Stubs rewards, which can be used on all concession items like popcorn, Coca-Cola products, and AMC Dine-In & Feature Fare menu items. Additionally, AMC Stubs A-List and Premiere members can use their AMC Stubs rewards for free or discounted movie tickets, including for the latest blockbusters in premium formats like Dolby Cinema at AMC, IMAX at AMC, PRIME at AMC and Laser at AMC.

To celebrate the launch of the AMC Entertainment Visa Card, new cardholders who spend at least $50 during the first three months will enjoy an extra $50 in AMC Stubs Bonus Bucks to spend on their next trip to the movies, within 90 days of receiving the reward.

To accommodate the anticipated consumer demand for the card during the high-traffic holiday movie-going season at AMC locations, the Company is introducing a waitlist. Those who sign up on the waitlist are guaranteed to be among the first who can apply for the AMC Entertainment Visa Card when it launches in early 2023. Moreover, waitlist participants who then apply for an AMC Entertainment Visa Card will be entered into a sweepstakes to win a trip to attend a red-carpet movie premiere with AMC Chairman and CEO Adam Aron. The waitlist, as well as terms & conditions, can be found on AMC’s website at AMCTheatres.com/Visa.

AMC Chairman and CEO Adam Aron commented:

“The AMC Entertainment Visa Card is another example of AMC’s continued dedication to providing real value to moviegoers and strengthening the relationship we have with our loyal moviegoing guests. Until now, the theatrical exhibition industry is one of the few untapped major retail sectors that hasn’t offered consumers the opportunity to amplify their purchase power, accelerate their rewards, and demonstrate their loyalty through the use of a co-branded credit card. With a built-in customer base of tens of millions of existing AMC Stubs members, we know there are avid moviegoers who will benefit greatly from using their AMC Entertainment Visa Card at the movies and for their everyday purchases.”

Aron added:

“There also is another extremely important constituency for whom we care greatly, and who will find the AMC Entertainment Visa Card to be of compelling appeal: AMC’s millions of enthusiastic and passionate shareholders. This new AMC Entertainment Visa Card was certainly designed with them in mind.”

Through Deserve, AMC is able to offer its cardholders rich and flexible rewards, 24/7 customer service, and best-in-class mobile experience and fraud protection.
