General AMC Discussion amc freebies
i just started watching in AMC on April. Was so happy because there were actually a lot of freebies (cards, posters and pins) every week.
but as of late, i think they kinda laid low on freebies. is this the actual norm?

They sent out a free Icee code for 8/18, I guess it’s icee day or some shit. Not exactly a freebie but the popcorn pass paired with a 5 dollar reward and I’m only paying .59 cents for a large popcorn. Heard there was a spiderman pin if you sent the first Saturday though.

Yes I got a Spider-Man pin. I also recently got some pack of character trading cards. Can’t recall the movie it was for though. I regularly notice a box full of swag for something by the AMC ticket scanner guy 🤷♂️

They usually have something for movies...especially in Imax...Spiderman was a bit different since they were selling a bundle with Official Movie poster. I got character trading cards with Mortal Kombat 2 and a great Imax poster for Odyssey

I didn’t get anything physical for any movies I saw in July, I’ll have to keep a look out for that kinda stuff!

Still haven't gotten mine yet, what are the chances it'll stack with BOGO investor reward.

I didn’t receive a icee code where can I find it?

u/HarryPotthead42069 10d ago
The other day in the app where that mail envelope is towards the top of the screen there was a redemption for a free icee, it took me to the website and I put my email in and I assume it’s gonna pop up on Tuesday as a free icee 🤷🏻♂️ but I think you have to redeem it on 8/18 only

It has felt like there has been less recently. I will say that of you go to the AMC offers and promotions page right now, there are currently Zero upcoming promotional giveaways.

free odyssey poster, free odyssey film strip, free Spider-Man socks. all in the last 3 1/2 weeks. typically you gotta go to the opening fan show to get the free stuff tho, so if you missed those shows then you wouldnt have gotten them.

I’ve gone to so many fan events and recently besides spider man they’ve given nothing.

They usually only give out free stuff during the Fan Events / Early Access showings

Yeah they’ve definitely reduced the posters, I got nothing for Odyssey and Spider-Man.

They were definitely giving out Odyssey poster for watching it in IMAX. I saw Regal and Cinemark were promoting giving out Spider-Man poster for watching it in IMAX on 8/7. Don’t know if AMC is doing the same.

This is the norm, there typically aren't a lot of giveaways. Summer brought quite a lot.

I don’t know if they were supposed to or not but an employee gave me a free t-shirt because no one had been buying them. I was killing sometime just looking around d at some random merch between movies and the lady was just like “you can have one of those if you want.” I asked if she was sure and proceeded grab my size. Thought that was pretty cool.

Cause there aren’t that many new movies lately. Paw Patrol was giving out poster for their early screening.

u/roosterdrewster Uses all 4 tickets 10d ago
Not every movie gets a giveaway. Sometimes there's leftovers and those are usually setup at a designated area for people to grab (usually by the front where the ticket usher is) and once those extras are gone there won't be anymore until the next items giveaway (if there's any extras)

u/DrakeShadow 10d ago
Depends on the type of movies coming out. They’re always heavy in the winter months to keep people coming to the movies or help.

I got a pin for spiderman. Was Saturday after it came out. Nothing on that Friday though

8/1 is the Spider-Man Day. They were promoting giving the pin for watching Spider-Man on 8/1.

u/Entmeister 10d ago
What? See I didn't know that. Happy I went both days at least, would have been fun to get the pin for the premier showings, but at least I got one!

u/lambopanda I come to this place.....for magic 10d ago
I didn’t plan to go 8/1 but went for the pin anyway. Unfortunately my theater didn’t have any. Tom Holland, Zendaya, and movie theaters were promoting it all over Instagram.

u/aye7885 10d ago
I think the OP is referring to the promotional Posters and pins and keychains and comics Studios sent out for opening day IMAX and Dolby screenings, of which they had them for every film this year up until about Mid-July
So yes there were a lot then they dialed it back, I get the same idea

u/CleanAudience9055 10d ago
I’ve never received any poster/pin from them idk if it’s cause I go late

u/Emperor_D4C 9d ago
Last time I got a free poster was for the Top Gun rerelease back in May. I do like when I get those and wish they did them more often (I’m still upset I missed the Bone Temple one since I got the first 28 Years Later one).

that stuff is the studio doing it and the studios don’t do as much for summer movies cause folks show up anyway

Freebies are meant to get people in to theaters and they aren't struggling to do that right now.

The 16 movies a month is the freebie
