Movie lovers know there are few greater pleasures than watching a good cinematic adventure unfold on screen. No matter your favorite genre or preferred viewing venue, some credit cards can further enhance that experience.

These cards reward movie purchases or provide access to unique film experiences, giving you extra motivation to watch those big blockbusters.

Here are three credit cards for movie lovers.

1. Citi ThankYou Preferred Card

Why We Picked It: Hardcore film festival buffs can enjoy impressive ticket package rewards.

For Movie Purchases: Chase's travel-focused card helps users earn dining and travel rewards, but it doesn't stop there. It also provides access to unique experiences, including the 2018 Sundance Film Festival with an exclusive ticket package.

Drawbacks: This card doesn't provide as much value to infrequent travelers.

How to Choose a Credit Card for Movies

If you're looking for a card that rewards your movie habit, try to find one that incentivizes spending at movie theaters, on-demand rental services, or whatever method you prefer for movie watching.

If you don't spend a ton of money on movies but you still want movie-related rewards, there are cards for that too. Plenty of credit cards offer cash back or rewards points on every purchase, and you might be able to redeem those points for film-based perks. Just make sure you read through reward offerings carefully to verify that the card you pick will get you the benefits you want.

What Credit Is Required for a Credit Card for Movie Spending?

The best rewards cards require good to excellent credit. You should always check your credit before you apply, and submit an application only if you meet the card's credit requirements. You can check your credit report for free at Credit.com.
