Each month, your plan gives you a set number of credits. You can use them to see any movie at any theater, and you choose how, when and where to spend them.

Unused credits roll over, and your account can hold up to 2 months of credits. For example, on a plan with 34 credits a month, you can have up to 68 credits. Credits above that limit expire when your billing cycle renews. [Tap here](moviepass://credits) to go straight to Credits in the app.

How many credits a movie costs depends on the time of day, the day of the week, and demand. The fuller you expect the theater to be (think opening night for a blockbuster), the more credits the movie costs. Here are some estimates:

  

General Plans (Excl. NY Metro Area + SoCal)

NY Metro Area + SoCal Plans

Matinee (before noon)

15-20 credits

30-40 credits

Afternoon

20-25 credits

35-50 credits

Evening

22-27 credits

40-55 credits

### **_\*These are only estimates. Actual credit values are subject to change\*_**

Pro-Tip: Tuesday showings usually cost the fewest credits.
