Sell your AMC Theatres gift card for cash

Sell your AMC Theatres gift card for 72% of the balance. $10 to $500 per card, paid by PayPal or Cash App within 24 hours.

Cinema credit is the clearest example of a gift card that depends on a habit rather than a need. If you go to the cinema, an AMC card is as good as cash at the box office and the concession stand. If you have drifted to streaming — as an enormous number of people have — the card has no alternative use whatsoever.

AMC's own subscription programme pulls in the same direction. Regulars on A-List have already paid for their tickets monthly, so a gift card becomes concessions-only money for them, spent in small amounts if at all.

There is one specific thing worth checking. AMC has stated that older gift cards whose numbers begin 6006 need to be replaced before they can be redeemed, at no cost, by contacting the company. If that is what you are holding, sort the replacement out first — a card that cannot be redeemed cannot be verified either.

Our rate on AMC is 72% rather than 80%, with a $500 per-card ceiling. Entertainment credit resells more slowly and less predictably than retail, and the rate reflects that honestly rather than being marked down at the last step.

AMC gift cards do not expire and can be used for tickets and concessions in theatres and for online ticket purchases. Concessions are the practical route for a small balance, since a remainder that will not cover a ticket will comfortably cover popcorn and a drink on a visit you were making anyway.

Sell when cinema-going has stopped being part of your life. That is an enormous number of people now, and a card that depends entirely on a habit you no longer have is worth converting rather than keeping out of optimism. Check the 6006-prefix replacement issue first so you are selling a card that can actually be verified.

AMC also sells gift cards through supermarkets and warehouse clubs, frequently in discounted multipacks. If you were given one of those, it is an ordinary gift card and carries no extra restrictions — but it does mean a lot of households hold several at once without ever having chosen any of them.

The balance page is at amctheatres.com/gift-cards/check-balance and takes the card number and PIN. AMC's site challenges automated traffic, so open it in a normal browser.

We verify each card before paying. If the confirmed balance is lower than entered, you see the corrected offer at 72% of the real figure before any money moves, and you can decline at no cost.

Selling a AMC Theatres gift card: common questions

72% of the balance we verify with AMC Theatres. A $100.00 card pays $72.00 and a $250.00 card pays $180.00. The rate is flat — it does not improve with larger balances and it does not drop for smaller ones.

$10.00. Below that the payment processing costs more than the trade is worth to either of us. The most we take on a single AMC Theatres card is $500.00; if yours is larger, submit it as two cards.

PayPal and Cash App payments are initiated within 24 hours of you submitting the card, and often the same afternoon. A paper check takes 5 to 7 business days because it goes through the mail. The only thing standing between you and the money is the balance check.

We recalculate at the same 72% rate and show you the corrected offer before any money moves. If the new number does not work for you, say no and keep the card. People misremember balances constantly and it is not held against you.

Yes, and most of what we buy is partially used. A AMC Theatres card with $37.18 left is worth the same per dollar as a full one. Enter the exact remaining balance, down to the cents, as long as it is at least $10.00.
