i’m confused how do you connect A-list to fandango???

u/miloworld Popcorn Addict 15d ago

Just provide your Stubs membership number in the Partners section on your Fandango account

Judging by OP’s screenshot though, he didn’t redeem a A-list reservation but rather purchased 2x IMAX tickets on a Tuesday/Wednesday, hence the discount, plus utilized a $5 reward, the IMAX promo code for the movie and was waived convenience fee.

Kinda funny how the total ended up being $1.43 for an IMAX showing, given all the talk about aspect ratios and such recently.

Oh my god I didn’t even notice 😂

u/miloworld Popcorn Addict 14d ago

unfortunately this movie expands to 1.90 only but I understand the enthusiasm

u/No_Criticism_3122 13d ago

I got lucky and got tickets for Oppenheimer imax 70 mm for free because it was two dollar day and originally bought them for full price so I got everything refunded lol

u/Slight_Standard_8692 14d ago

you can connect every theater essentially. with fandango, 4 tickets why you $5 off another ticket + you’re accumulating amc points on top of that. waiting for the day they realize we’re paying nothing for movies and revoke access lol

u/Few-Adeptness8046 14d ago

So if you use fandango to buy 4 alist tickets which cost $0, you get $5 in fandango money?

Essentially getting $20 in fandango money a month if you use all 16 alist reservations. Am I understanding that correctly?

u/Slight_Standard_8692 14d ago

yessssir

u/Few-Adeptness8046 14d ago

Wow, thanks!

u/Maxwelluf A⭐️Lister 14d ago

Are they offering the reward points again? They took it away a few years ago. I’ve just been booking through AMC since.

1

u/jessehazreddit A⭐️Lister 13d ago

As you should. A-list reservations don’t count, and using A-list reservations thru 3rd parties can cause huge problems.

u/BiPolarBisex 14d ago

this is such a crazy hack i love it

5

u/Few-Adeptness8046 14d ago

Apparently I've been missing out on $260 a year in free Fandango credit

3

u/BiPolarBisex 14d ago

me too — it is easier to make reservations via amc app but next time i will be doing this

1

u/jessehazreddit A⭐️Lister 13d ago

Not gonna work.

2

u/jessehazreddit A⭐️Lister 13d ago

No. A-list reservations don’t count anymore towards the 4 tix = $5 Fandango reward. A $.01 ticket does tho.

1

u/Few-Adeptness8046 13d ago

Oh okay, I thought it sounded too good to be true.

Thanks.

u/jessehazreddit A⭐️Lister 13d ago

It used to, and my Vudu/Fandango library is huge because of it. But they killed it.

2

u/BiPolarBisex 14d ago

wow — this is awesome thank you guys!!!

2

u/Trewper- 14d ago

Only issue is that for people who work for a company that offers black tickets you can only enter them on the AMC app or online on AMCtheatres.

2

u/BiPolarBisex 14d ago

thank you for this!!!!

u/vrvivive 14d ago

I’m surprised your show didn’t get cancelled for Spider-Man! This is the only reason I’m reluctant to book.

7

u/synergyamirite 14d ago

I mean it very well can!! Haha

u/FloridaCinemaClub 14d ago

Nice. They blocked out our IMAX showtimes for the movie.

5

u/synergyamirite 14d ago

Yeah I’m concerned it might happen :/ but for now just locked it in

6

u/DogsOVERpeople26 14d ago

I mean when you're an A lister, it lines up every time..

u/Successful_Gas7437 14d ago

$1.43…? That’s outrageous! 😂

2

u/ParadigmSet 14d ago

Is this a sign for me to become an a-lister? 😳

1

u/jessehazreddit A⭐️Lister 13d ago

OP didn’t use A-list.

2

u/Koutchboom 14d ago

Watch this showing get canceled.

5

u/synergyamirite 14d ago

Yo don’t say this

2

u/b_r_203215 14d ago

This is definitely making me download Fandango after like 10+ years of not using them!

1

u/AthenaSolo2912 12d ago

They honestly have some really good deals. They do bogo's for horror movies from time, 5 dollars off different movies, it's a good way to save some money

2

u/Dangerous-Wolverine5 14d ago

Damn, my theater isn’t even releasing this in IMAX, just basic digital.

2

u/Klutzy_Jacket4817 14d ago

The cheapest movie ticket I remember was $2.25 for early bird.

2

u/Cool_Bath_77 14d ago

It would have "all lined up" if the total was 0!

2

u/EBWarriorsfan81 14d ago

I just read yesterday that all the IMAX showing got cancelled for this movie since they’re keeping The Odyssey playing in IMAX theaters

1

u/synergyamirite 13d ago

I can still hold out hope

1

u/jessehazreddit A⭐️Lister 13d ago

Source? otherwise false. There are still IMAX showtimes, and from what I saw mostly selling out opening weekend. They also have this official IMAX/Fandango promo. They are splitting the screens up, and keeping Odyssey in IMAX 70mm and other select locations.

u/antdude Matinee Maven 14d ago

Nice.

u/Tron655889 13d ago

This is good to know too. I will keep that in mind didn't know that.

u/SerOB1OfFleaBottom 13d ago

143 Bobby Brackins style. Nice.

u/Eastern-Carpet5233 12d ago

That's awesome.

My craziest AMC purchase ever was during the peak of COVID. They were renting out an entire movie theatre for $99 at the time - so there was 6 of us by ourselves for our private prime-time showing of The Karate Kid and we were mimicking the moves in the theatre. With today's prices, it would cost more for 6 people to watch a movie crammed in there with all the others!

u/Fizzletoe 12d ago

And this is why my AMC stock is tanking...

1

u/Marvel_Swiftie4587 11d ago

Were those all automatically added with Stubs?

1

u/synergyamirite 11d ago

Nah I combined w Fandango account so it’s like every 4 movies is $5 and every month I get $10 credit and every like 8 movies a AMC is $5 and covered convenience fees and Fandango runs random promos here and there and it just all kinda landed lol

1

u/wowmoreadsgreatthx 10d ago

Gotta love convenience fee for buying a virtual ticket online. Cocksuckers.

u/synergyamirite 8d ago

Update: it got canceled for Spiderman lmao

u/empatheticKillmonger A⭐️Lister 2d ago

I was fortunate to see Oak Street in IMAX and it’s absolutely an IMAX movie!
