AMC Theatres Debuts Crypto Purchases For Electronic Gift Cards



AMC Theatres, the American cinema giant, is now debuting crypto purchases for electronic gift cards.


It has been reported that Adam Aron, the CEO of AMC Theatres, announced that MC customers can now buy digital gift cards with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) directly through the AMC website, mobile app, and theaters.


However, he noted that the new payment option was enabled through major crypto payments processor BitPay, allowing consumers to purchase e-cards of up to $200.


The report said that the CEO paid special attention to Dogecoin (DOGE) among the digital assets accepted for AMC e-card purchases. Aron hinted in September that AMC will include DOGE in the list of cryptocurrencies accepted for tickets by the end of 2021.

Likewise, Aron had conducted a poll of 140,000 people on Twitter, asking the community whether AMC should accept DOGE payments for tickets.


He added:

“It’s clear that you think AMC should accept Dogecoin. Now we need to figure out how to do that. Stay tuned.”

Thus, as previously reported, Aron announced the company’s plans to accept Bitcoin payments for movie tickets in August, expecting to have rolled out the new payment option by 2022. The movie chain also plans to support four other cryptocurrencies, the aforementioned DOGE, Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
