Latest on AMC Stubs Debacle
Everyone seems to be comparing the Stubs program to the former Movie Watcher program, saying that Stubs is superior IF... x, y, z. Before Stubs, I could often print off coupons for AMC. They also accepted expired Movie Watchers coupons. Regardless of how many movies you see each month, no smart consumer is getting a better deal out of the Stubs program. And what about the alternative of going to another theater? I can name five other theater chains in my market, but not one of them charges for a loyalty program. Their tickets and concessions are all less expensive, as well. If I want a discounted popcorn or drink upgrade, all I have to do is Google a coupon and print off. I don't have the stipulation of needing to spend X amount of dollars in order to receive some diminutive reward.
