# 2026 AMF gift cards: holiday bonuses for your whole list
Starting November 9, AMF is adding a Bonus to qualifying gift card purchases made online. The offer runs through December 27, which leaves plenty of time for early planners and last-minute shoppers alike.
Here's how it breaks down:
Buy a $75 gift card and get a $15 Bonus.
Buy a $100 gift card and get a $25 Bonus.
Pick the amount that fits your list, check out on the AMF gift cards page, and the Bonus is yours to keep.
Plenty of time to shop
With the offer running from November 9 through December 27, there's no rush to decide everything at once. Grab a card for the family early in the season, then add a few more as the holiday list fills in. Every qualifying card earns its own Bonus, so a gift for the grandparents and a gift for the neighbors means two Bonuses for you.
Shopping for a whole group? Gift cards are an easy fit for teachers and coaches, the people who keep the year running for your kids. Pick $75 or $100 for each name, and the Bonuses add up along the way.
What the gift card covers
The gift card itself works on just about everything inside the center. Bowling, shoe rental, arcade play, and food and drinks are all fair game, so the recipient can build the visit however they like. A family might spend most of it on a long afternoon of games. A group of friends might put half toward pizza and the rest toward a few rounds at the arcade.
That flexibility is what makes it such an easy pick. You don't need to know whether someone is a serious bowler or someone who mostly comes for the food menu. The card meets them where they are.
How the Bonus works
The Bonus is a little different from the gift card. It's good for bowling and shoes, and it expires June 30, 2027, which gives you all winter and most of next spring to use it. A few things worth knowing before you plan your visit:
The Bonus can't be used on Friday or Saturday after 6pm, and blackout dates apply.
It's valid at participating locations, subject to lane availability.
It doesn't apply to group events, birthday parties, leagues, or tournaments.
One Bonus per party per visit.
In practice, that makes the Bonus a natural fit for a weeknight game or a weekend afternoon. Think of it as a built-in excuse for a January outing, once the holiday rush calms down and everyone is ready for something to look forward to.
Who it's good for
Gift cards solve the hardest names on any list. Teens who are tough to shop for will happily take a night out with friends. Parents get a ready-made family outing without having to plan it. A coworker gift exchange gets a lot more interesting when the gift is a reason to leave the house. And for anyone who already loves the lanes, it's a gift they'll actually use, probably sooner than you'd expect.
Online only, delivered fast
This offer is available online only, and the cards are delivered digitally. There's no shipping to track and no store to visit, so even a gift you remember on December 23 can arrive on time.
Once your Bonus is in hand, use the Location Finder to pick your nearest AMF, then reserve a lane for a day that works. Shop between November 9 and December 27 to get a Bonus with every qualifying gift card.
