Current AMC Membership Price Tiers and Plans
AMC Theatres offers three main paid membership tiers under AMC Stubs: Stubs A-List, Stubs Premiere, and Stubs Membership. Stubs A-List costs $24.99 per month and includes three movie tickets per week, free large popcorn, and free fountain drinks. Stubs Premiere costs $19.99 per month and includes two tickets per week with the same concessions benefit. Stubs Membership is a free tier that provides online ticketing and occasional offers, while paid plans unlock additional perks like waived online booking fees and points on purchases. For the latest plan details, visit the official AMC Stubs membership page at AMC Theatres Membership.
AMC Stubs A-List is the highest tier and allows members to see up to three movies per week, including IMAX and Dolby Cinema screenings, with the option to reserve seats in advance. Stubs Premiere offers two movies per week and is positioned as a mid-tier option for frequent moviegoers. AMC also runs limited-time promotional pricing for new members, which can include discounted first-month rates or bonus rewards points. Prices and benefits are subject to change, and AMC may adjust tiers based on market conditions and theater upgrades.
AMC Stubs Rewards Points and Redemption Value
AMC Stubs Rewards members earn points on every purchase made at the box office, concession stands, and through AMC Theatres On Demand. Paid members earn 10 points per dollar spent, while free Stubs members earn 5 points per dollar. Points can be redeemed for free concession items, movie tickets, and merchandise, with 1,000 points typically equaling a $10 reward. AMC periodically updates point earning rates and redemption thresholds, so checking the current rewards structure is recommended.
AMC Stubs Rewards also offers bonus point events, double-point days, and targeted offers based on purchase history. Members can link their rewards account to the AMC Theatres app and website to track points, view offers, and manage bookings. Points earned through paid memberships stack with standard rewards, making higher tiers more valuable for frequent visitors. For details on how points integrate with paid plans, see the AMC Stubs Rewards overview at AMC Stubs Rewards.
Comparing AMC Membership Costs to Competitors and Recent Changes
AMC Stubs A-List is priced similarly to other subscription cinema services, such as MoviePass and Regal Crown Club, though each service offers different ticket limits and theater access. Regal Crown Club offers a $21.99 monthly plan with one movie per week and occasional bonus offers, while MoviePass has shifted its pricing and access model over time. AMC's advantage lies in its large theater footprint, integration with major chains, and inclusion of premium formats like IMAX and Dolby Cinema within its weekly ticket allowance.
AMC has updated its membership terms in recent years, including adjusting the number of tickets allowed per week and clarifying blackout dates for premium formats. The company also introduced new digital benefits, such as streamlined mobile ticketing and integrated rewards tracking, to improve the value proposition for members.
