Does the 30 day cooldown for the Premium screening start when you buy the tickets, or when the actual screening happens?

Let's say I want to see Avengers Infinity War on April 27. If I buy a IMAX ticket for it today (via Fandango or other online service) with my Premium Sinemia usage, when can I use my next premium usage? Will it be 30 days from today? Or 30 days after the screening on April 27?

Thanks.

If I use my premium for an IMAX on 4/27 for Avengers, can I use a non premium before 4/27 after I buy the IMAX ticket from the AMC app?

Or can I only have one "open" ticket at a time?

30 days from the actual screening.

The app will show you a countdown clock.

Thanks.

Follow up question: If you cancel and resubscribe, does it reset the 30 day counter? Or does it pick up where it left off?

You can't resubscribe with the same account after you cancel. You're closing the account. You would have to go through the whole signup process again.

That's a little odd. Are you able to use the same info (credit/debit card, phone number, email, etc.) to sign up again? And you don't need to wait for them to mail you a new Sinemia card? If so, that seems like a relatively easy way to circumvent the 30 day limit. Signing up again sounds like a relatively minor hassle.

You definitely can't use the same Sinemia card. You have to go through the entire process again.

I don't know if you'll be able to use the same credit card again.

I just discovered this cooldown issue and I think it's garbage. They take your money from the month and your account resets... Why would they ever tell you when you can use one of them? It's clearly only in hopes that it won't be convenient for you to make it to a premium format screening with their card.

Just crap.
