Many movie enthusiasts find loyalty programs appealing because they offer rewards and savings for frequent visits to cinemas. These programs incentivize repeat business by giving members points, credits, or rewards based on their spending. Benefits typically include discounted or free tickets, complimentary snacks, access to exclusive screenings and events, early movie releases, and birthday rewards. Perhaps the most popular of these loyalty programs is AMC Stubs.
