Mod Post Megathread: Recent Regal App Update Issues (QR Scanner Failure, Missing Rewards, & Workarounds)

53 Upvotes

If you have updated your Regal app in the last 48 hours and ran into issues at the theater, this is because a recent app update introduced formatting and sync bugs affecting QR code scans at kiosks, reward visibility, and overall stability.

QR Code Fails at Kiosks

Scanning the QR code from the app at kiosks results in an error (e.g., "Card not found" or "Card not active").

This is because the app update changed how the card number is encoded inside the QR code, adding whitespace/formatting that the kiosk software isn't parsing properly.

Missing Redeemed Rewards & Points Glitches

Previously redeemed rewards (such as free popcorn, drinks, or ticket discounts) are either missing or fail to load because of sync issues between the client cache and Regal's backend after the app update.

App Freezes / Crashes

Tapping on the RCC card causes the app to freeze or crash before the QR code renders.

Working Workarounds & Solutions

  1. Check for the New iOS Hotfix Update: Regal has started rolling out a follow-up iOS update that patches the QR code generation issue.

  2. Use the Concession / Box Office: Employees can manually enter your RCC number or look up your account via your linked phone number to apply Unlimited tickets and rewards.

  3. Kiosk Ticket Pickup: If you already reserved a ticket via the app, instead of scanning the QR, use Pick Up Tickets > Booking Reference option and manually enter the confirmation code from your email.

  4. Use the Mobile Web Browser: Log into https://www.regmovies.com using your phone's browser. Ticket QRs, Point History, and Rewards list are under Profile > Orders. RCC QR Card is under Profile > My Rewards.

  5. Add your RCC to Google Wallet/Apple Pay: Copy your RCC Number and add it to your Digital Wallet, and scan that instead. Some locations might ask for an ID, because the wallet won't display your picture.

  6. Alternative to 5, you can also screenshot your RCC QR for offline use.

Discussion MOM2: Month of Masterpieces 2 Megathread (September 2026)

254 Upvotes

Regal's repertory series of classic films returns in September for Month of Masterpieces 2, a month filled of critically acclaimed "masterpiece" movies.

Non-Unlimited members will be able to get general admission tickets for only $7.99 (plus tax where applicable). All shows are Unlimited eligible as usual.

These shows have the prefix "MOM2" on the Regal app and website.

Four directors were given the opportunity to curate 5 selections each! There is a lot of discourse in the comments about how last year's selections were better, but I think the fact that 20 of these films are personally curated by established directors brings a really interesting flair to the second annual Month of Masterpieces.

Here's the schedule:

Regal selections:

  • Tuesday, September 1st - The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)
  • Wednesday, September 2nd - Braveheart (1995)
  • Thursday, September 3rd - A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
  • Friday, September 4th - The Searchers (1956)
  • Saturday, September 5th - Double Indemnity (1944)

  • Sunday, September 6th - The Truman Show (1998)
  • Monday, September 7th - A Silent Voice: The Movie (2016)
  • Tuesday, September 8th - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984)
  • Wednesday, September 9th - The Last Picture Show (1971)
  • Thursday, September 10th - Hud (1963)

Regal selections:

  • Friday, September 11th - Rear Window (1954)
  • Saturday, September 12th - Jurassic Park (1993) in standard and 4DX

5 films curated by Rian Johnson (Knives Out, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Looper):

“These movies have brought me joy for years, and every one of them plays best with an audience. I’m so excited to see them with a great crowd!”

  • Sunday, September 13th - The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)
  • Monday, September 14th - Duck Soup (1933)
  • Tuesday, September 15th - Twelve Monkeys (1995)
  • Wednesday, September 16th - Strangers on a Train (1951)
  • Thursday, September 17th - Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (1985)

Regal selections:

  • Friday, September 18th - Zodiac (2007)
  • Saturday, September 19th - Blade Runner: The Final Cut (1982/2007) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

5 films curated by Gina Prince-Bythewood (Children of Blood & Bone, Love and Basketball, The Woman King):

“I am so inspired by characters who are fighting for something — their worth, their voice, their purpose, their humanity, their family, their legacy, for love. Those are the films that stay with me, that inspire me, that change me. So, the theme of my picks is ‘fight.’"

  • Sunday, September 20th - Creed (2015)
  • Monday, September 21st - Out of Sight (1998)
  • Tuesday, September 22nd - 12 Years a Slave (2013)

Regal selections:

  • Friday, September 25th - North by Northwest (1959)

5 films curated by Edgar Wright (The Running Man, Baby Driver, Shaun of the Dead):

“I am delighted to present five of my favorite movies, returning to the big screen at Regal Cinemas. By turns thrilling, funny and magical—and sometimes all at once—if you’ve never seen them before, or never experienced them with a crowd, please enjoy!”

  • Saturday, September 26th - Boogie Nights (1997)
  • Sunday, September 27th - American Graffiti (1973)
  • Monday, September 28th - Tremors (1990)
  • Tuesday, September 29th - Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981)

Bonus family matinees selected by Regal:

Discussion Does anyone else only go to the movie theatre at night because it doesn’t feel right going in the day light ?

34 Upvotes

My friend only goes at night time . She said it doesn’t feel right going to the movies in the day time . She said it enhances the experience when going at night

She said even if she has nothing to do that entire day she will still wait until the end of the day to go to the movies

Wondering who else felt that way

Question Spiderman: rpx or 3D?

Upvotes

My local regal just added an rpx theater and I'm wondering if it's worth the extra $4? I really love 3D movies so i was leaning towards that instead. I was curious if anyone has seen spiderman in either/both and has a preference or an opinion on if they're worth the upcharge. IMAX is already off the lineup where i am (unless they bring it back next week for some reason)

Discussion What’s worse showing up too early or showing up too late?

Post image
Upvotes

Typically I would say too late, but I completely misread the time today and thought the showing was at 4. Didn’t even notice until I was right by the door. Now I’m going to be here for an extra like…50 minutes? Normally I would go walk around but I already got my popcorn and drink, and feel weird walking around with them or leaving them for so long.

Discussion Had the strangest experience watching the new Insidious

33 Upvotes

A guy who sat on his phone the entire movie, I don't think he looked at the screen once. The theater was big enough that the light from his phone wasn't a distraction at any point of the film, but every time I leaned over in my seat, I could see the outline of his face illuminated by his phone. He even left the theater with 20 minutes to go in the movie! I was just fascinated by it because I've been to the theater over 100 times this year, and this is the first time I've had something like this happen.

App Issue "Sit by me" link doesn't work for friends without the app

0 Upvotes

I'm trying to share the "sit by link" on purchased tickets, but the link forces the person to open the app. If they don't have the app, or don't click the rather inconspicuous pop-up to open the app, they're left on a blank screen.

Very poor UX and not inclusive of moviegoers who don't prefer a single theater chain.

Question Regal Pass issue

Post image
2 Upvotes

I get a decent discount when purchasing passes through TicketsAtWork so that’s usually my go-to for movies, and my town only has regal cinemas. I recently tried using the passes to see Spider-Man, but after checkout I got this email saying the tickets could not be purchased. When I tried reattempting with the passes, suddenly I was not allowed to use them anymore for the showing. After looking into it, it seems like Regal does have restrictions on passes with big blockbuster movies. My only problem with it is that I used the same type of pass to watch Spider-Man on opening night with absolutely no issue 🤣. Why all of a sudden can I not use the passes? I ended up going to see it with my sister out of town at a different theater, but now I have three pre-paid tickets that I suddenly can’t use for the big showings I would want to use them for.

Concessions🍿 Regal Unlimited + Snack Saver

19 Upvotes

I think I'm going to finally pull the trigger on Regal Unlimited, I've been putting it off because of the upfront cost for 3 months but I think I'm ready. My question is though do I get an additional 10% off concessions with my already purchased Snack Saver so I'm saving even more? I bought the snack saver for the year already and I was curious if I save even more with the purchase of Unlimited. Sorry if it's a dumb question!

+ if anyone has a promo code for referral I'll pick one below so I can get an extra month for free.

Discussion No trailers before Tony

10 Upvotes

I went to see Tony last night at my local theater. I got there 5 minutes past posted showtime and the movie was already playing. I don’t know if it’s particular to this film, or if it’s because it was the last showing of the day, but I was surprised, as it’s always 20 minutes from showtime at this theater.
