The math was explained on the first page of posts...like any other deal, if the math doesn't make sense then...don't buy it
I only go to the theater every few months and my local theaters aren't AMC, so it doesn't make sense to me. For those who live near one and go often, AND who, like me, indulge in the sweet, buttery popped corn, it makes total sense!

I like the Stubs program, they did it well. I used to go see movies, but the frequency has dropped off a cliff. I might go once every 2 years. Not sure what's going on with it all, but for me there isn't much to go for.

I probably average 10 or 12 times a year. Some months I'll go 2 or 3 times, sometimes i'll go 6 or 8 weeks before going. Depends on the movies that are available. I very rarely buy popcorn and almost never drinks and candy. Why pay them the obscene markups when you can just bring your own?
So I wonder if the normal drink and popcorn combo is considered a "promotional popcorn combo" and excluded? Also, maybe losing the "free size upgrade" Stubs benefit by using this.
AMC Popcorn Pass 2026 is only available for AMC Stubs members and can be purchased for $29.99+tax. After AMC Popcorn Pass 2026 purchase completion, members are eligible to receive a discount of 50% off one (1) large popcorn per day during the promotional dates (12/1/25 – 12/31/26). AMC Popcorn Pass 2026 purchase does not include large popcorn.
So, basically, after tax, it's nearly $40 just for your first large popcorn?
Then, probably $6 for each additional popcorn?
Sorry. Not giving AMC an interest free non replayable loan for a slightly cheaper popcorn that doesn't present itself as a deal until after several visits.
If I want to pay for a membership service that actually has a return on investment, I'll buy Sam's Club.

If you are a frequent moviegoer and always get popcorn, it's an easy buy. If you are not in that category, then it clearly would not make sense.
With all the giftory deals with free popcorn/drinks, this doesn't seem like a good deal.
exactly. I have two years stubs I paid $15 total (when they had glitch) and I can get 2 tix + popcorn for like $17 .... $1 upgrade to "large" and all nearby theaters here will just give u two full buckets if u ask for ur refill early before going in
the popcorn doesn't even taste good. I wish giftory just sold 2 tix for like $12 and I could bring my own drinks/snacks (I usually do anyways) - arizona iced tea and pringles (<$3 both and taste better)
"AMC Stubs members are eligible to receive a refill on same day purchase of large popcorn per AMC Stubs Terms."
Between that and...you can stop by a nearby AMC DAILY TO get a large 1/2 off popcorn AND FREE REFILL to go or while seeing a movie! Seems like a good deal to me!
Thx op, tu and repped. I have been using the refillable bucket each time for a few years. This imho is a good deal for those who go to the movies regularly. Idk if all AMC theaters have 1/2 off ticket prices like ours does 2 days a week, T&W, but that added to this deal is well worthwhile!
LOL at all the whining. If you an A list member this is a no brainer (if you normally buy popcorn). After 6 visits you get 1/2 price popcorn for 13months. What's not to love?
