You can now buy AMC digital gift cards using Dogecoin
https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/crypto/you-can-now-buy-amc-digital-gift-cards-using-dogecoin/AMC has begun accepting payment for its digital gift cards in Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies. CEO Adam Aron made the announcement via Twitter on Wednesday.
"Huge news Dogecoin fans! As we work to accept online crypto payments, now you can buy @AMCTheatres digital gift cards (up to $200 per day) with Dogecoin and other cryptocurrency using a BitPay Wallet. Accepted on our web site, mobile app and in theatres," Aron tweeted.
To purchase AMC's digital gift cards with Doge, you'll need to sign up for BitPay, an Atlanta-based crypto payment processor that also provides digital gift cards for other big-name retailers including Amazon, GameStop and Home Depot. AMC's gift cards can be used to purchase movie tickets and concessions -- it's not entirely clear on AMC's website if digital gift cards can be used the same way. AMC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In January, the value of Dogecoin rose more than 300% over the course of a few days -- a swing attributed, in part, to promotion on Twitter from Elon Musk. Beyond boosting its short-term value, Musk's promotion has helped Dogecoin become a part of the popular lexicon. In one tweet, Musk shared an image of a fake magazine called "Dogue" with a dog-themed cover.
