Important Considerations
- Promo Code Restrictions: A Fandango promo code may not be combined with other offers or another Fandango promo code. Fandango reserves the right to deactivate a Fandango promo code at any time and render it unusable. A Fandango promo code may not be reloaded with value. Safeguard your Fandango promo code as it will not be replaced if lost, stolen, damaged, or used without authorization. We have noted that you can only apply one Fandango coupon code per order. If you want to apply a second code, you will need to remove the existing one from your cart. Make sure you apply the best Fandango coupon to your order before checking out.
- Refunds and Exchanges: Yes! You can exchange or refund your entire order (except for the convenience fee in the case of a refund) through Fandango, MovieTickets.com, or Flixster before the applicable theater’s refund and exchange deadline. All Fandango theaters allow for refunds and exchanges up until the posted showtime, except for MJR Digital Cinemas where refunds and exchanges are allowable up to 30 minutes before the posted showtime. Unfortunately, Fandango cannot offer partial refunds. You can cancel Fandango tickets without incurring charges by requesting a refund or exchange at least 2 hours before your movie starts. A Fandango convenience fee is charged at $1 to $2 per ticket on all purchases. Unfortunately, the convenience charge is non-refundable. However, if you prefer an exchange instead of a refund, you will not lose out on this fee.
- Customer Service: Use Fandango’s FAQ section for any of your customer service needs. You will be able to start a refund or exchange request and check the balance on your gift card. You can use Fandango’s FAQ page to resolve the most common issues. If your issue cannot be resolved, you can call Fandango at 1-866-857-5191.
- Holiday Discounts: Fandango tends to limit its holiday discounts, reserving them for select occasions. Historically, the occasions that have witnessed Fandango's generous discounts include the much-anticipated Black Friday and Cyber Monday events. However, it's important to note that Fandango's approach to holiday promotions may vary.
