Are Ticket Prices Cheaper on Tuesdays at AMC Theatres? Inside the Tuesday Discount Offer

At AMC Theatres, Tuesdays can indeed be a great day to catch a movie, especially for Stubs members, who often enjoy significant savings. But this isn't the only showtime that offers discounts or exclusive benefits. In this article, we'll delve into the specific Tuesday discount program, explore the differences between Stubs Premiere and Stubs Insider memberships, and highlight other incentives AMC Theatres offers to its loyal patrons.

Monday to Saturday: Saving More with Stubs Memberships

AMC Theatres has a Tuesday ticket discount for all Stubs members, making it a particularly special day to plan your movie outing. What exactly does this mean for your wallet? Well, Stubs Premiere members get up to a 5% discount on their tickets, but the discount is not unlimited; tickets are raised to a minimum of $5 plus tax, and an additional fee for 3D films. So, for most standard tickets, you can expect to pay around $5.

In contrast, Stubs Insider members get up to a 2% discount on their tickets, with the same minimum price structure. However, there's an additional perk: Stubs Insider membership is free and never expires, though it comes with fewer concessions (popcorn refills, for example) and rewards. The benefits of joining this program are slower to accrue compared to Stubs Premiere.

Monetary Value of Membership:

But just how much is this discount worth in the long run? According to a firsthand account from a cashier (who clearly isn't a paid spokesperson), buying three tickets in the evening on a Tuesday can more than pay for the Premiere membership. This doesn't even factor in the additional discounts and perks for concessions and rewards that come with being a Stubs member, such as refills on popcorn and other movie-related treats.

Perhaps the most compelling point is the waiver of online ticket convenience fees, which is a significant benefit for those who frequently purchase tickets online. As a point of clarification, the writer stresses that they are speaking from personal experience and not as an official spokesperson for AMC Theatres.

Historical Context and Discounts

It's worth noting that AMC Theatres have historically offered a $5.00 Tuesday special at many locations, but these offers often require membership in their loyalty program. Additionally, there used to be a Tuesday student discount with ID, but as of the time of writing, it is unknown if this remains active.

Conclusion

While the Tuesday discount can be a substantial saving for moviegoers, it's essential to weigh it against the specific membership you choose. If you value convenience, fewer fees, and quick rewards, Stubs Premiere might be the way to go. If you're looking for a free membership with fewer but slower rewards, Stubs Insider could be the better choice. Regardless of your decision, AMC Theatres provides a diverse range of benefits and discounts to entice movie lovers of all types.
