Several stores are offering a little something extra with gift card purchases this time of year. If you buy $50 or more in Fandango gift cards (can be multiple cards, but must total $50 in one transaction), you will get a bonus gift code via e-mail valid for a free movie ticket ($15 max value). You must make the purchase by 12/25/13, and the free movie ticket code expires 1/31/14.
Terms & Conditions: Offer valid only for purchases of Fandango Movie Gift Cards made between 11/25/13-12/25/13. Spend $50 or more on Fandango gift cards in one transaction and you will receive an email from Fandango with a promotional code redeemable for one movie ticket on Fandango. Promotional Code is valid through 1/31/14 for one (1) Fandango movie ticket valued up to $15 and is good for one-time use only.
A far better deal – AMC is about to do away with their silver tickets. They cost $6.50 per ticket, are sold in packages of 50 and never expire. The last time we bought a batch was two years ago. Since then movies have climbed to over $11 a ticket. Think about the savings.
You can buy them through AMC corporate through the end of 2013.
Oh and yes the silvers are not good for special engagements. What is a special engagement? A movie that has been out for less than 2 weeks.
Fandango is only useful when they have a 2 for one special or if you’re buying at AMC on the first showing of the day (tickets are $6-7 and no surchage fees if you’re an AMC Rewards member). Otherwise, Fandango is just way too darn expensive.
