Avoid Fandango gift cards! Fandango gift cards can only be used at the FEW theaters which do online ticketing (and these are also the most expensive theaters). Can't get through to customer service without being on hold 20 minutes minimum. The website isn't user friendly (ie. Lists theaters that don't even have online ticketing), even the tickets couldn't print right. I had to drive 1/2 hour to use my gift card (there were no theaters closer that accepted it). Then when you factor in the convenience fees for each online ticket and the higher ticket prices at that participating theater, the total cost was $29 for 4 tickets ($7.25/tkt) just to use my $15 gift card (so $14 out of pocket). It only saved me $6 compared to the $20 ($5/ticket at my local theater on discount Tuesday and that $6 I saved barely paid for the gas to and from that far away theater. And I was lucky with that because all the other theaters 1/2 hr away didn't even have discount tuesday and tkts would have cost $9.25 each... so for those it would have cost more, than if I just threw away the gift card and went local.
