Free Popcorn Coupon at Fat Cats

Get a free large popcorn at Fat Cats with the purchase of 2 movie tickets.  Go here and type in “fat cats” to see if there’s a current coupon.  (Seems like they’ve pulled this offer for 2023, but check just in case it comes back!)

$5 Movies on Tuesdays at Fat Cats

If you’re going to Fat Cats for a movie, Tuesday is a great day to save money.  All movies are just $5!

They are first-run movies.  Fat Cats is not a “Dollar Theater.”  You’ll be seeing the current movies!

Some of the new release movies sell out quickly, so plan ahead.  There is reserved seating, so the earlier you get your tickets, the better.

When you get your tickets online, there is a $1 processing fee for each ticket.  You can avoid the fee if you are able to stop in a few days beforehand and purchase your tickets.  (The online fee is always waived for Gold Cat members.  See below for more perks of the program.)

Just don’t count on walking in right before a popular movie starts or with a large family or group of friends on Tuesdays.  You probably won’t get seats.  Tuesdays are very busy, especially during school breaks or when a highly anticipated movie is showing.

$5 Movies on Mondays at Fat Cats

You need to have purchased a Gold Cat membership to get $5 movies on Monday.  (Scroll down to see Gold Cat details.)

Pay 1/2 price for all arcade games on Wednesdays.  Scan your arcade card at each game and you’ll automatically be charged half of the regular price for each game.

Many of their games range from 50¢-$1, so most are super reasonable on Wednesday when you’re paying half of that!

Buy a larger arcade card at one time and get value added to your card.

• $10 = 44 credits
• $20 = 96 credits
• $50 = 248 credits
• $100 = 528 credits

Pogo Pass ~ Free Bowling & Glow Golf

If you’re going Monday – Thursday (or Friday before 5 pm), get a Pogo Pass!  The initial investment is worth it since you’ll save so much more in the long run.  Pogo Passes are good for 365 days.

With a Pogo Pass, you get a free game of bowling every month at Fat Cats (excluding Friday nights, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays).   You will need to bring your own bowling shoes or pay $4.25 for a pair.

You also get a free round of glow golf each week.  (Regular pricing is $5 per person.)

Combine deals and take advantage of one of the offers listed above (half off arcade games on Wed. or $5 movies on Tuesdays) while you’re using your Pogo Pass for free glow golf or bowling.  It makes for a fun, affordable outing!

With a Pogo Pass, not only can you visit Fat Cats a lot, but … so many other fun places also have FREE admission!  There are over 20 other venues on the pass, including Sunsplash!

Venues are subject to change, but below is what’s on it now.  Use code FatBargain or my affiliate link here to save 50% and pay only $59.99 per pass.
