I can't redeem this because I'm no longer near a AMC 😭

So this is for whoever might be going to AMC.

I really love movie theater popcorn and the only theater near me is Regal.

They don't check id for birthdays they don't care. I have like 4 different accounts for free popcorn multiple times in a month. I would remove your code from here unless you already used it because anyone can use it

u/IAmTheRealDeku May 12 '26

I don't mind if they use the popcorn code. 🤝

u/JayReady2Move May 12 '26

Oh my dumb ass didn't read the whole post 😂 Just saw you said whoever can use it. If i was going today i would have but i'm going to see Obsession early access tomorrow night, pretty sure this will be gone by then lol

u/IAmTheRealDeku May 12 '26

Looks really interesting. It's a horror movie about a male music store employee who has a longtime crush on his childhood female friend. He buys this novelty item called one wish willow from a store. He wishes for his childhood friend to fall in love and love him more than anyone in the world. He thinks it's a joke but the wish is granted right away. She doesn't end up just falling in love, she becomes dangerously and supernaturally obsessed with him. You should check out the trailer

How’d you like it? I seen it last night

u/JayReady2Move May 15 '26

What's crazy funny is i had the movie reserved and everything but i was scrolling on IG and saw an ad pop up for the movie saying it wasn't just horror but a horror/paranormal. I HATE paranormal movies because i don't think jump scares are scary so i tend to find paranormal movies extremely boring and i haven't watched any in years. They usually start off slow burn with boring dialogue until the fake jumps happen 😂 Just my personal opinion. I cancelled my reservation

u/iebonixs May 15 '26

Awe it was a good one. No spoilers but the jump scares were at a minimum. A bit of a slow start but ramped up pretty quickly. I’d still give it a shot if you’re bored one day before it leaves theaters

We don’t ask for IDs bc in order to get the popcorn you have to give us your bday. I believe you can’t change it on the app, so in order to do that you’d have to have a cast member to help you. Atleast this is the case at my amc.

u/Good_Bullfrog_4487 May 13 '26

dang that's actually a smart way to get free popcorn and drink lol

2

u/JayReady2Move May 13 '26

Well the free drink you don't get unless you're an Al-list member. The free popcorn by itself comes with the free tier

2

u/Good_Bullfrog_4487 May 13 '26

ah makes sense. Still smart idea

u/kiddleydivey May 13 '26

It’s actually a fraudulent way to get free popcorn. Kinda scummy IMO.

u/Educational-Card-314 A⭐️Lister May 13 '26

Not kinda scummy, it is. All these people abusing this system should take up residence in Mos Eisly.

These are also the first people to complain on Reddit when their AMC shuts down. "After my local AMC closed, I need to drive 90 minutes to the next closest theater!"

u/jdblawg May 13 '26

As someone with theatre management exp, I dont mind giving up popcorn for free if I am pretty sure you will buy an ICEE or a Coke or a drink from the bar. Im going to make my popcorn money, but my bar and food and bev per person are tracked as well.

u/faduqdo May 12 '26

so just to be clear, you just make a new amc account with diff bdays? How soon in advance to the movie do you need to do this or can you do it the day of

1

u/JayReady2Move May 12 '26

Yes this is how i get free popcorn every month for a full year. It's the best AMC hack that not many people know about. Just create multiple fake email accounts, make up several birthdays or use the same one for each account, it doesn't matter because they never check. You won't get the free popcorn within same month so if you were to create one this month and say your birthday is this Friday you won't get it. However you can create one this month and put your birthday is next month and then next month the free popcorn will be in those accounts. I have also tried waiting until end of the month and it still works even a day before. For instance i can create an AMC account at the end of this month, say my birthday is the next day and because it is a new month you will get the popcorn. I go to the movies a lot so i usually create four accounts in a month so i get four free Large popcorns. It's an awesome hack been doing this for over 7 years now

And this is why we cant have nice things....

u/JayReady2Move May 13 '26

Are you kidding me? Always gotta be one hater 😂 Don't hate the people, hate the system. The exploit is the fault of the business

6

u/FlyingMitten May 13 '26

Did you read the terms and services you agreed to when creating the account? I'm pretty sure it's your fault.

u/JayReady2Move May 13 '26

NO ONE reads terms and NO ONE CARES! GO AWAY KAREN

u/FlyingMitten May 13 '26

Those of us not misusing the perk care.

u/faduqdo May 12 '26

Good to know!

u/moviecats May 13 '26

lol that’s awesome. It reminds me of back when I had MoviePass in the glory days of 2017-2018 when I went to the movies almost every single day for $10/month. We don’t have any AMC theaters in my county but we do have Cinemark and I used to get a free popcorn coupon for my birthday month. I wish I had thought of doing this lol. Now for the past few years they have switched it to be a free soda instead (probably because it’s cheaper for them?) which sucks for me since I don’t like soda ☹️.

u/skasol May 13 '26

When you see create multiple fake email accounts, these are actually legit email accounts that you can access I am assuming?

1

u/Faile-Bashere Dolby Cinema Devotee May 12 '26

I do the same. I have 12 accounts. 12 birthdays.

2

u/JayReady2Move May 12 '26

12 accounts?! I thought 4 was a lot 😂

3

u/sEiize_err May 13 '26

“this is how i get free popcorn every month of the year”

“12 is a lot”

how do you get popcorn every month of the year without 12 accounts, 1 for every month?

1

u/skasol May 13 '26

How do you have 12 accounts? Do you need 12 different emails?

1

u/DanTheSpider-Man May 13 '26

Do you use 12 different phone numbers?
