Chuck E. Cheese Card Fees: What's The Deal?

Chuck E. Cheese offers a Fun Pass membership program that provides unlimited visits, daily gameplay, and discounts for a monthly fee. The Fun Pass comes in three tiers: Bronze, Silver, and Gold, each offering varying levels of gameplay and discounts. The monthly fee for the Fun Pass is automatically charged to the customer's credit card, and it can be canceled anytime after the first 12 months. In addition, Chuck E. Cheese also offers Play Passes, which are cards with radio frequency identification chips that can activate games inside the venue. Play Passes can be purchased at kiosks, cashier registers, or as part of a reserved birthday party package. However, it is unclear whether Chuck E. Cheese charges for new cards, as the information provided focuses primarily on the Fun Pass membership program and the details of the Play Pass system.

Monthly Fun Pass

The Chuck E. Cheese Fun Pass is a monthly subscription service that offers unlimited visits to Chuck E. Cheese, daily gameplay, exclusive discounts, and surprise offers. The Fun Pass has two purchase options: a 2-month pass or a monthly plan. The monthly plan has a minimum term of 12 months, after which it can be cancelled anytime. The 2-month pass has the same benefits as the monthly plan but requires a one-time upfront payment and expires after two months.

The Fun Pass comes in three tiers: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Each tier offers a different number of games per visit and discounts on food and drinks. The Bronze tier offers 40 games per visit and a 20% discount, the Silver tier offers 100 games per visit and a 30% discount, and the Gold tier offers 250 games per visit and a 50% discount. The monthly prices for these tiers are $7.99, $11.99, and $29.99, respectively, while the 2-month pass prices are $49.99, $69.99, and $139.99, respectively.

The Fun Pass includes benefits such as surprise bonus gifts, automatic enrollment in the Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Club, and discounts on Trampoline Zone and Ninja Run attractions. It can be shared among up to six family members and is valid at over 450 participating Chuck E. Cheese locations in the United States and Canada.

The Fun Pass can be purchased online or in-store, depending on the plan chosen. The 2-month pass can be purchased either online or in-store, while the monthly plan can only be purchased online. Payment methods accepted include credit cards and, in some cases, gift cards and debit cards.

The Silver Fun Pass offers more games and a higher discount than the Bronze tier. It includes 100 games per day and a 30% discount on food, drinks, and extra games. The price for this tier is $11.99 per month or $69.99 for two full months.

Gold Fun Pass

The Gold Fun Pass is the most premium tier, offering the highest number of games and the highest discount. It includes 250 games per day and a 50% discount on food, drinks, and extra games. The price for this tier is $29.99 per month or $139.99 for two full months.

Payment methods

Chuck E. Cheese offers a range of payment methods for its Fun Pass membership program. The Monthly Membership requires a recurring monthly payment, which is automatically charged to a credit card. This option is available for both the Monthly Membership and the Two-Month Fun Pass. However, the Two-Month Fun Pass requires a one-time upfront payment for the entire two-month period.

For the Monthly Membership, you must designate a payment method during sign-up, which can be changed at any time via the Chuck E. Cheese payment portal. This includes debit cards, for which you authorise Chuck E. Cheese to charge your card each month. If the payment is not completed or is reversed, your membership may be suspended until the amount is paid.

The Fun Pass can be purchased online or at any participating location. The Monthly Membership Fun Pass can only be purchased online, while the 2-Month Fun Pass can be purchased either online or in-store.

The Chuck E. Cheese Online Store accepts the following payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ShopPay and PayPal. However, gift cards cannot be used for online purchases but can be redeemed in restaurants.

Fun Pass limitations

The Fun Pass is a revocable license and Chuck E. Cheese may suspend or revoke it without notice or refund. Misuse, failure to abide by the terms and conditions, or detrimental conduct may result in suspension or revocation. Examples of detrimental conduct include theft, violation of laws, assisting unauthorized entry, vandalism, disorderly conduct, intoxication, and possession of weapons.

Fun Passes are non-transferable and cannot be sold, loaned, or given away. They are valid only for the named Fun Pass Holder and their household members. Any breach of these terms will result in revocation without compensation.

Fun Passes may not be used during private events, buyouts, or events requiring a separate admission fee. Access to certain games, attractions, or special events may require additional charges or advance purchases. Operating hours and available attractions may vary without notice and are subject to temporary closures.

Fun Pass transactions must be completed at the front register; kiosk purchases do not qualify for discounts.

Fun Passes do not cover additional fees for food, merchandise, eTickets, pay-per-experience attractions, or special events unless explicitly stated. Games or attractions requiring a separate entry fee are also excluded.

Fun Pass benefits are subject to change without notice. Chuck E. Cheese reserves the right to alter operating days and times, and to close or cancel any part of a location for maintenance, health and safety, or special events. No refunds or compensation will be provided if a Fun Center is unavailable or if attractions are closed or removed.

Fun Passes are non-refundable, non-exchangeable, and not valid for cash. They cannot be used in conjunction with any promotional offer, voucher, or other discounts unless specifically designated.

Fun Pass benefits must be redeemed through the Chuck E. Cheese Rewards app.

Play Pass cards

Chuck E. Cheese offers Play Pass cards and Play Bands, which provide a more touchless and convenient experience for customers. The Play Pass is a card with a radio frequency identification chip that can activate selected games inside Chuck E. Cheese, depending on the price of the game or the time remaining on the card. The Play Points required to play each game will be displayed on the card reader.

The Play Pass can be purchased in three ways: at a kiosk by following the on-screen prompts, at the cashier register using a credit card, gift card, or cash, or as part of a reserved birthday party package. There is a $2 activation fee per Play Pass card, and the card can be reloaded with time or points in-store. Play Bands work in the same way as the Play Pass cards but are worn on the wrist.

Play Points can be added to the Play Pass at a kiosk or cash register using cash, credit, or debit cards. Play Points do not expire and are not subject to a maintenance fee. They can also be combined and transferred from one Play Pass card to another. The Play Pass can be used to play coin-action games, where tapping the card on the game's card reader will deduct the requisite points and dispense a token.

The Fun Pass is a membership program that includes Play Pass benefits, such as daily gameplay and discounts. There are two options for the Fun Pass: the Two-Month Fun Pass and the Monthly Membership. The Two-Month Fun Pass provides unlimited visits and benefits for two months for a one-time charge, while the Monthly Membership offers the same benefits for a recurring monthly fee. Both options are available in three tiers—Bronze, Silver, and Gold—offering varying levels of gameplay and discounts. The Fun Pass also includes surprise bonus benefits and discounts on attractions like the Trampoline Zone.
