If you love watching movies and snacking on popcorn, you might be wondering if you can use a Fandango gift card to buy both. Fandango is a popular online service that sells movie tickets and offers streaming content. But can you also use it to purchase popcorn at the theater or online?

The answer is yes, but with some limitations. Here are some things you need to know before you use your Fandango gift card to buy popcorn.

Fandango offers different types of gift cards for different purposes. Some of them can only be used to buy movie tickets, while others can also be used to rent or buy movies and TV shows on FandangoNOW, a streaming service that is linked to Vudu.com and other apps. You need to check the terms and conditions of your specific gift card to see if it can be used for popcorn purchases.

According to the Fandango website, the following gift cards can be used to buy popcorn:

• Fandango Gift Cards: These are physical or digital gift cards that can be used to buy movie tickets on Fandango.com or the Fandango app. They can also be used to buy popcorn at any theater that accepts Fandango as a payment method.

Even if your Fandango gift card can be used to buy popcorn, you may face some challenges when trying to do so. This is because Fandango’s online store is powered by a different company called Atom Tickets, which sometimes has trouble processing Fandango gift cards. If you encounter any problems when using your Fandango gift card to buy popcorn online, you should contact Fandango customer service for assistance. They may be able to help you troubleshoot the issue or offer a refund.

If you want to use your Fandango gift card to buy popcorn at the theater, you should present it at the concession stand and ask the attendant to swipe it. However, some theaters may not accept Fandango gift cards for popcorn purchases, so you should check with the theater before you go. If the theater does accept Fandango gift cards for popcorn purchases, make sure you have enough balance on your card to cover the cost of the popcorn and any taxes or fees.

If your purchase is less than the value of your Fandango gift card, you don’t have to worry about wasting the remaining balance. You can use it on your next purchase of movie tickets, popcorn, movies, TV shows, or merchandise on Fandango, FandangoNOW, Vudu.com,
