  I renewed my AMC Stubs membership for 1 year in the amount of $7.50 as stated by the email, app and website. I had issues renewing, both the app and the website gave me error messages. Once I received a confirmation of successful renewal I verified it via email and received 1 email stating I had renewed for 1 year at $7.50. Upon reviewing my bank account I was also charged $15.00 by AMC at the same time and my renewal date is further out than one calendar year.
  
  After attempts at using AMC’s customer service method via ******** and ******* and having no response I am resorting to this. This is the WORST customer service and I am very much questioning my sanity in renewing in the first place.
  
  I would like a refund of the unauthorized charge of $15.00 as I ONLY authorized/commuted to a one-time charge of $7.50. I have no documentation/email notice of the $15.00 charge besides my bank account. I would only like the unauthorized charge of $15.00 refunded.

  In review, the additional charge was a result of the guest being enrolled in our AMC Stubs auto-renewal program. The guest has been removed from the auto-renewal program and the fee refunded.

  On 7/2/22 I purchased 4 tickets from AMC’s website to see ***** later that night. An error page popped up after I put in my credit card information that said the transaction didn’t process. I was prompted to start the purchase over again and this time the order successfully processed. The transaction was $70.50. On 7/4/22 2 transactions of $70.50 each posted on my credit card. I also received 2 different email confirmations representing 2 successful transactions even though the website said the first transaction failed. At this point AMC charged me for 8 tickets to see ***** although I only used 4 tickets to see the movie that night. I called the AMC Theater in ************ ** where I saw the movie and they transferred me to AMC’s customer service line. The customer service line was automated and said that the only way to receive help is to file a complaint on AMC’s website. I filed complaint ************** on AMC’s website on 7/8/22 explaining that I was incorrectly charged and asked for a refund. AMC did not respond so I refuted the additional $70.50 charge with my bank and received a refund. My bank also contacted AMC about the issue and did not receive a response. On 7/28/22 a 3rd charge of $70.50 processed on my credit card that said the transaction date was also on 7/2/22. I have not purchased any movie tickets from AMC since I saw ***** on 7/2/22. Now I have been charged over $211 for the movie tickets as if I purchased 12 tickets. I would like AMC to refund me for the 3rd charge of $70.50 but I cannot reach anyone at the company who can refund me. I am dissatisfied and upset as it seems like they are storing my credit card information and falsely charging me. I appreciate anything the BBB can do to help!

  During the last week of May 2022 I attempted to use my 10.00 AMC gift card to purchase movie tickets online. I was informed that the gift card had been deemed inactive by AMC. I was provided a contact phone number to receive a replacement gift card. I spoke to an AMC representative by phone on 5/29/22. She instructed me to email a photo of both the front and back of the gift card which I did on 6/1/22. I was told I would receive my replacement gift card in 15 business days. I opted to receive my gift card digitally. On 6/27/22 I sent a follow up email to AMC because I had not yet received my gift card. I have not received a response. On 7/1/22 I phoned AMC and was told my gift card was being processed, and I should receive it in a week. On 7/8/22 I still had not received my gift card so I resent by email to AMC all of the info I provided to AMC on 6/1/22. As of today, I have not received my gift card. It is well past 15 business days.

  I'm a long time AMC A-List subscriber and supported AMC during covid for the sole purpose of helping keep them strong because I love the company.
  
  Today was a horrible experience.
  
  I took my two kids and wife to see ***** ****. It was promoted as a funny comedy and it was pretty dark and honestly scarier than expected. So my daughter started having a full on panic cry attack during the first quarter of the film.
  
  I understand it and it happens so we left and went to the front desk to get a rain check so we can try again with a different movie. The manager named ****** was not accommodating and refused a raincheck and down right didn't care my daughter left crying. She said it's not her fault the movie was too scary for our daughter and couldn't offer a raincheck because of that........
  
  It was honestly the complete opposite of what I expected to her. I didn't ask for a refund, didn't complain about the food I had already ordered. Just wanted to be on our way and try another movie next time that wasn't going to make our daughter cry. It was the worst experience and I really am shocked it happened. It really made me not ever want to go to an AMC again and I love going to AMC and go often :-(

  I loaded a $50 AMC gift card to my AMC Stubs app and then made a single purchase that was less than $10. AMC has wiped out the $40+ balance of my gift card. I’m trying to get it returned to me. I tried calling, submitted a request through chat, received an automated email requiring me to submit the request again by email because it didn’t conform to a common chat list of problems, This is so frustrating. Where’s the customer service?

  Hello,

  On Monday, July 18, my ***** account was breached and a ticket was purchased to a theater in NY for a show, I don't even know where the city is - I live outside Cleveland. I immediately tried to call the customer service number - no answer told to file a complaint online. Filed two to see what else was hacked on my account. An automated reply. I tried the next day to call the corporate headquarters - cannot get a person to talk to - filled out another form and asked for a refund - no reply. There is no one responding to the customer service box. I had a credit and birthday rewards and cannot see if they are still there.

  Purchased tickets ONLINE at AMC * *********** website on 7/10/22 at about 5pm. Paid about $56 for 3 tickets for the ******* movie on 7/10/22 at 9pm and a popcorn/soda. I arrive at the Theater with my pregnant wife and my 2 yr old toddler. I inquire about my tickets at the front counter and staff tell me that they have no record of my purchase. The state that this has been happening to a lot of customers where they get pay for tickets online and they they show up to the theater counter and there is no record of purchase. The staff apologize for the inconvenience and tell me that I should have a refund on my account within 3-4 business days. Here I am 10 days later, I've contacted AMC and still have not heard back. I just submitted a claim with my bank to dispute said charges. Wished I had checked out the BBB page before purchasing. AMC is a **** JOKE! Do not waste your money and time with this crappy theater!

  I purchased an AMC Stub membership for $15.99 reoccurring monthly on June 30th, 2022. After only seeing one movie and realizing I would not utilize this membership I seeked to cancel the membership before being charged again. I’ve called the number provided to cancel the membership, and am returned with an automated message stating AMC is not providing phone service at this time, not even at the corporate level. I was redirected to their “contact us” page to cancel the membership. I submitted an inquiry to them to cancel the membership. I then received an email asking if any of the below questions solve my problem, obviously none of them did because they did not provide me the option to cancel the membership. I responded to the email as directed if I still needed help and it’s been over a week with no response. I’ve messaged on ********, *********, *******. NO RESPONSE. I am unable to cancel this membership, and am infuriated I cannot contact anyone at this organization to do so. Worst business ever.

  If you refer to the pictures that I attached with the initial complaint I have already done all of this. I have provided physical pictures of the tickets I have provided all the numbers on the tickets. I have provided my information. Over 30 days ago. I have also filed three follow-up emails to that very email to confirm that they have received it. I have also attempted to reach out via ******** to the tune of six times with no response.

  On 7-11-22, I ordered tickets for my autistic 9yr old grandson, we got to the theatre at movie time and were told the tickets were for a theatre 20 or more min away. I asked the cashier if she could swap the order over to the theatre I thought I was ordering from. She said no, I asked what I needed to do about canceling the order, she did not know. I had to order two more tickets and another snack pack at this location. I figured I would deal with the mix up after I took the child home. Well, the cancellation of the order has to be prior to show start! Impossible in my situation. I attempted to call the theatre from where the tickets were ordered for, they could not help me. I attempted to call the number online, *********** and received the message they are not doing any live customer service on the phone. Contact on ********, email or *******. I don't *******, I did contact on both the other platforms. **, I got no response at all. Email I got a generic response with the same information they have online. I have begged for a human to call. I get no where. There is another complaint on ** by someone with the same situation.
