Well, I went to Shaft tonight and had a blast. It was funnier than most comedies these days. Just a fun, entertaining movie.
I'm probably going to cancel my Cinemark membership. $9 a month for one movie when I can sometimes go to a matinee there for a buck less doesn't make much sense....
So Fandango is "stackable" (or whatever you might call it) on top of A-list? Sorry to be slow, but how does that work? I'm guessing I set up a Fandango Account and download the app and then link it to A-list somehow? And then the points also need to be linked to Disney Movie Rewards? Sounds complicated. But maybe worth it? The A-list app is so easy for me to use now. How much more complicated does this make it? For instance, I can easily cancel an A-list reservation with one tap.....
I'm now a "local" A-Lister, as yesterday began my 2nd year in the program.
Used my first of 3 yearly "out of area" A-List reservations today!
Are you saying that once the first year is up, and you continue at the original $20 monthly level, you still get to see 3 movies per year in states where the price has been raised to $22 or $24?
Yup, pretty sure that's the case.
I'm now a $22/month boy, but I'm pretty sure that's not why they let me go to 3 $24/month movies a year - pretty sure the same perk comes with the $20/month plans as well...
FYI, i just checked the AMC website, and you can change your "pretty sure" to "definitely sure", as it says so there.
This is very interesting news to me, because I signed up on July 29, 2018, so my first year terms expire four weeks from now. The issue of the new tiers is important, because while I am in a $20 state, I have family in Maryland and Virginia, which are $22 states. I was just up in Virginia last week and saw three AMC movies there via A-List, and I visited Maryland over last Christmas and saw six movies via A-List during that time too. Throw in three movies that I saw on a trip to Chicago (also a $22 state), and I saw twelve A-List movies this past 12 months in states that will for me soon be outside my $20 zone.
Since these trips up north usually come in bunches, the smart thing for me will probably be to generally keep the $20 plan, use those three free upgrades you mentioned, and then when those are used up just upgrade to $22 for a month like Christmas when I know I am going up for a while, and then drop back down to the $20 plan the next month. But that also seems like a hassle, and $2 a month is such a small sum, that I might just sign up for the $22 plan and not worry about it - until of course I have to visit a $24 state, LOL.
Oh that would be beautiful.
Also, there’s buzz that Regal Unlimited subscribers will have to purchase an entire year in advance for the unlimited ticket program, hence the tier prices respectively would be $288, $252 and $216.
