To get the most out of your moviegoing experience, use Fluz for gift card purchases, pair it with a rewards program, and buy your tickets through a showtime app like Atom or Fandango. This strategy lets you stack cashback with loyalty points and discount days, helping you enjoy the big screen without the big bill.
