What a Cinemark gift card gets you
A Cinemark card isn't just for the ticket line. The same balance covers concessions — popcorn, candy, fountain drinks, and the loaded combos — plus reserved recliner upgrades, D-BOX motion seats, XD large-format screens, and ScreenX. Redeem at the box office, at in-lobby kiosks, on Cinemark.com, or in the Cinemark app, and the card has no fees and never expires.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a gift sleeve. $20 to $250 per card via Cinemark.com.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable online, in the Cinemark app, or scanned at the theater. $25 to $200 via Dyme; $20 to $250 via Cinemark.com.
You can apply more than one Cinemark card to a single online or app order, and combine a card with a credit card to cover the rest of the total.

Can I get a Cinemark gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Cinemark e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant paperless delivery, not a face-value discount. The discount channels are:
- Costco or Sam's Club, in store and online. Periodic multi-pack Cinemark cards at a discount off face value. Stock rotates and isn't always listed. Club membership required.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold Cinemark cards from third parties, typically a few percent below face value. Check the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
- Cinemark direct promos. Cinemark and Cinemark Movie Club run occasional gift-card bonus offers — buy a set amount, get a bonus card or concession credit, usually around the holidays.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, Cinemark Movie Rewards at redemption, and Dyme Miles on the purchase. Most buyers leave that money on the table.
How to stack rewards
Three rewards programs fire on a single Cinemark gift card purchase through Dyme.
Credit-card rewards
Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.
Gift-card resellers typically code as MCC 5947; many cards exclude this MCC from category bonuses.
- Capital One Venture X: 2x miles on essentially every purchase, including gift cards
- Citi Double Cash: 2% back on everything (1% when you buy + 1% when you pay)
- Amex Gold: falls back to 1x on gift cards. 4x dining and 4x groceries do not apply
- Chase Sapphire Reserve: falls back to 1x on gift cards. Its dining and entertainment bonuses do not apply
Cinemark Movie Rewards
- Join cost: free
- Applies at: redemption
- Earning rate: 100 points per $1 spent in theaters or online
- Reward threshold: 5,000 points = a concession or ticket reward
Movie Rewards does not earn on the gift card purchase. It earns when you spend the card on tickets and concessions, at the same rate as paying with cash or credit. The paid Movie Club tier earns at a higher rate and adds a monthly ticket credit.
Dyme Miles
- Base rate: 1 Mile for every dollar
- Special rate: 5 Miles per dollar
- Expiration: never
- Blackouts: none
- Redeem on: over 2 million hotels and 600 airline partners
$100 Cinemark e-gift on Dyme, paid with Citi Double Cash, redeemed by a Movie Rewards member
- Citi Double Cash: $2 back (2% of $100)
- Cinemark Movie Rewards at redemption: 10,000 points (100 per dollar) toward concession and ticket rewards
- Dyme Miles on the purchase: 100 Miles (1 per dollar), or 500 on a special offer (5 per dollar)
Illustrative only. Card rates, brand-program terms, and Dyme Miles offers change and vary by member; figures above are examples, not a guarantee of value.

How to buy on Cinemark.com
- Go to Cinemark.com and open the gift cards page.

- Add to cart and check out. Cinemark does not run a standing member discount on gift cards, and Movie Rewards points do not accrue on gift-card purchases.
How to buy in store
Any Cinemark theater box office sells physical gift cards. Tell the cashier the amount you want, pay with cash, credit, or debit, and walk out with the card. It works for tickets and concessions at that theater and at every other Cinemark location nationwide.
How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Costco and Sam's Club periodically run multi-pack Cinemark gift cards at a discount off face value. Stock and pricing rotate. Supermarket and big-box gift-card racks at Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, and Target carry $25 and $50 Cinemark cards at face value. You pay no discount but earn the retailer's loyalty points and any fuel rewards that apply to gift-card purchases.
