AMC Theatres is one of the largest cinema chains in the U.S., and its subscription service—AMC Stubs A-List—has become a favorite among frequent moviegoers. With the ability to watch multiple films per week and access premium formats like IMAX and Dolby Cinema at no extra charge, A-List offers strong value if you visit the movies regularly.
Here’s a comprehensive guide to what AMC A-List includes, how it works, and whether it’s worth the monthly price.
What is AMC A-List?
AMC Stubs A-List is a top-tier membership in the AMC Stubs loyalty program. For a monthly fee starting at $19.95 (pricing varies by region), members can:
- See up to three movies per week
- Watch in any format—IMAX, Dolby Cinema, RealD 3D, or standard
- Make reservations online in advance
- Skip online ticketing fees
- Earn 100 AMC Stubs points per $1 spent
Unused tickets do not roll over, but the counter resets every Friday, giving you a new set of three movies each week.
How much does AMC A-List cost?
The price depends on your location:
- $19.95/month for up to 35 states
- $22.95/month for select mid-tier markets
- $24.95/month for high-demand cities (e.g., NY, LA)
There’s no long-term contract, but you must commit to at least three months when signing up.
What formats are included in A-List?
One of the biggest advantages of A-List is that it includes all premium formats with no surcharges:
- Dolby Cinema for enhanced sound and visuals
- IMAX at AMC for larger-than-life viewing
- RealD 3D and BigD formats
These formats often cost $18–$23 per ticket, so A-List can pay for itself with just two movies per month in premium formats.
Can you cancel or pause AMC A-List?
You can cancel anytime after your three-month commitment, but AMC currently does not offer a pause option. Cancellations can be made via the AMC mobile app or website. If you cancel, your benefits continue until the end of your billing cycle.
Can A-List be combined with other savings?
Yes. While A-List covers ticket cost, members can still earn points for concessions and use gift cards for purchases. If you want to save even more, you can get rewards with an AMC Theatres gift card purchased through Fluz. These gift cards can be used to buy snacks, pay for guest tickets, or even cover A-List membership fees when applied at checkout.

What are the key perks of A-List?
- Advance reservations: Book your seat as soon as tickets go on sale
- No fees: No online ticketing fees for A-List reservations
- Flexible showtimes: See up to 3 movies in one day or space them out
- Earn AMC Stubs rewards: Redeem for free popcorn, drinks, or upgrades
Is AMC A-List worth it?
If you see at least two movies per month, especially in premium formats, A-List delivers excellent value. It’s also ideal for:
- Movie lovers who like booking in advance
- Fans of IMAX, Dolby, or 3D formats
- Viewers in areas with multiple AMC locations
For casual moviegoers, the free AMC Stubs Insider tier may suffice, but A-List is the clear winner for frequent film fans.
