Earn free movie tickets with Fetch gift cards

Fetch is America’s Rewards App, and yes, we mean that literally. You earn points every time you snap a receipt, shop online, or play your favorite mobile game. Then, you turn those points into rewards you actually want, like free movie theater gift cards. Choose from:

Pick the movie, the time, and the location, and Fetch picks up the tab. 

How to earn free movie theater gift cards

  1. Download Fetch.
  2. Snap every receipt: groceries, gas, gum, you name it. You’ll earn points with every snap.
  3. Want to go big? Play games, explore new offers, and shop online to earn even faster.
  4. Redeem your points for your preferred movie gift card.

How much are movie tickets (and how do you get them for free)?

Right now, the average cost of a movie ticket in the U.S. is about $16.08, up from previous years. Prices can climb even higher depending on your theater or if you opt for IMAX, 3D, or premium formats. With Fetch, though, you don’t pay a dime: simply redeem your points and watch the total drop to $0.

When can you buy movie tickets in advance?

Depends on the movie! Many blockbusters go on sale weeks before release. On average, you can expect 5-7 weeks of lead time for most theatrical runs. When you’re using a Fetch gift card, just grab your tickets as soon as they drop.

More ways to get free movie tickets

While Fetch is one of the easiest ways to earn free movie tickets, here are a few other smart ways to score a free night at the movies:

  • Theater loyalty programs: Join programs like AMC Stubs A‑List or Fandango VIP to unlock exclusive screenings, points, and freebies.
  • Screening events: Sign up for early movie previews on sites like Gofobo, where you can get invited to test-screenings before films are released.
  • Birthday & promo offers: Some theaters offer free tickets during your birthday month or through limited-time promos—check your favorite local chain’s perks.
  • Perks through services you already use: Amazon Prime, your phone carrier, or credit cards sometimes offer movie-related perks or promo codes.

Still, no other option lets you earn free movie tickets as easily (and consistently) as Fetch—just snap, earn, and go!

Let’s all go to the movies

The lights go down, the screen lights up, and your movie night is paid for—by Fetch. Download the app today, snap your receipts, and plan your next outing. Whether it’s a date night or a stop on your summer bucket list, you’ve got the tickets covered.
