Story and Cash Matter Here—How To Check an AMC Gift Card Balance With DoNotPay
An AMC gift card gives you many options for enjoying the movie theater experience at one of AMC’s approximately 950 theaters across the nation.
Maybe the thought of being in a crowd hasn’t appealed to you in the last few months, though. If you have an AMC gift card and don’t fancy using it to visit a theater, DoNotPay has the answer.
We can show you how to check the balance on an AMC gift card and decide what to do with the remaining cash!
What Can I Use an AMC Gift Card For?
AMC gift cards can be used to buy tickets or concessions at any AMC theater.
They are fully transferable, so you can give them as a gift to someone else or use them yourself to visit AMC, AMC Classic, and AMC Dine-In locations.
You can buy AMC gift cards at any theater with loaded amounts between $5 and $100. If you prefer an eGift card, these can be bought online and delivered via email.
How To Check Your AMC Gift Card Balance
Performing an AMC theater gift card balance check is easy and can be done in the following ways:
- Online
- By phone
- In any AMC theater

Visiting a theater is not your only option, and DoNotPay can show you how to !
What Can I Do With My AMC Gift Card Remaining Balance?
Your easiest option is to use the remaining balance on your gift card to buy theater tickets, but we understand if this is not your preferred route.
If you decide you don’t want to visit an AMC theater, you may be able to get your hands on the remaining balance on your card and convert it to cash. Here are your options for doing this:
Cash Conversion Options | Explanation |
Sell the card at a kiosk | Many grocery and department stores have machines that pay instant cash for the residual value on gift cards.
All you need to do is insert the card into the machine, and you will receive a cash offer in return. The offer will not reflect the full value of the card’s remaining balance, though. You can expect to get between 85 and 90% of the full amount |
Sell the card online | Several websites will offer to buy your AMC gift card. Similarly to using a kiosk, you will only be able to get around 90% of the true value remaining |
Swap the card for a different one | Some sites offer a card exchange service, through which you can swap your unwanted card for a gift card from a vendor you want to use. You will be limited in your choice, though, and you may not get what you are looking for |
Can I Get Cash Back From AMC?
AMC states that gift cards are not redeemable in cash except as required by law. This refers to laws passed in certain states that can help you convert your unwanted gift card into something more tangible.
In certain states, legislation has been enacted that means you can convert remaining balances on gift cards to cash by going directly to the original vendor.
The amounts you can claim back are limited as follows:
- $10 maximum
- California
- $5 maximum
- Colorado
- Maine
- Massachusetts
- Montana
- New Jersey
- Oregon
- Puerto Rico
- Washington
- $3 maximum
- Connecticut
- $1 maximum
- Rhode Island
- Vermont
The issue with this approach is that you have to:
- Live in one of these states
- Visit an AMC theater there
- Explain the law to the cashier
This could be a long and difficult process.
Thankfully, DoNotPay can make it simple and get a cash refund for the full remaining value of your AMC gift card online—irrespective of where you live!
