What is redbox?
Redbox are those big red boxy things at many grocery stores these days where you can rent DVD's. Works better than Netflix for me because I don't watch movies often and it is MUCH cheaper than renting a movie from a Blockbuster store. Try it out. DVD's rented from Redbox can be returned to ANY Redbox location. It's $1 per night per rental. New nights start at either 7:00pm or 9:00pm, it has been extended in some areas, it will say the due back time when you check out.

Some advice:
Check the disc to make sure it's not scratched badly before you leave, if it is just rent another copy, then return the first, call customer service and they will credit you without a problem.

As far as I know coupon codes don't work if you rent the DVDs online then pick it up in the store.

OLD THREAD!!! FIND THE NEW REGENERATED THREAD HERE WHERE THE WIKI IS UP TO DATE==>: https://slickdeals.net/f/6135216-OFFICIAL-Redbox-Free-Rental-Codes-for-new-existing-customers-post-other-codes-here-too?v=1


PLEASE HELP UPDATE THIS WIKI!!!

-----------------------------------
For MOVIES: - Codes work for DVDs (in most cities it makes them free, but not all due to pricing differences) - In other words it takes $1.20 off of DVDs or Blu-rays
1)THERE ARE ONLY three TWO semi-PERMANENT CODES THAT ARE ACTIVE:
THESE TWO CODES YOU MUST TYPE IN RIGHT AT THE REDBOX KIOSK YOU DON'T TEXT THEM & THEY DON'T WORK ONLINE!!!

Long Term Codes:
DVDNIGHT - Works 1 x* per CC, @ any Redbox KIOSK - Valid checked 07-02-2013
DVDONME - Works 1 x* per CC, @ any Redbox KIOSK - Valid checked 07-02-2013
DEAD BREAKROOM - Works 1 x* per CC, @ any Redbox KIOSK - DEAD VERIFIED - on 7-02-2013, 7--3-2013, 7-4-2013 - R.I.P.
DEAD DVDATWAG - (Walgreens only) 1 x per CC* - DEAD VERIFIED - R.I.P.
--------------------------------------------
For VIDEO GAME CODES.
2)How to get them: these are Code words YOU TEXT to 727272 (1st) then Redbox texts you back a code related to Movie or Game Rental
YOU MUST TEXT THESE CODES USING YOUR PHONE TO 727272 FIRST
- GAME CODES MUST BE USED @ THE KIOSK at this point in time.
=No Current Game Code/Text Offers - updated 7-5-2013
* HOWEVER - YMMV - (look for specially marked RED stickers on Energizer batteries - Red Sticker for 1 Free Game Code) - Only known Redbox Game offer Currently running. - 7-5-2013 (P.S. It started many months ago so findings are rare in most areas).

Other ways to get game codes:
Similar to the movie monthly + often bonus codes, the Redbox Gamer's Club gives out 1, or more (bonus) codes every month. After you have signed up for the movie club you should receive a prompt asking you to TEXT Y to 727272 if you wish to sign up for the gamers club. If you don't pay for texts you might as well since you can give them to members who do or try & trade them for movie codes etc.


Tracking the Day of the Week that the Free Movie Code is Released:
Jan 2013 - Sunday (1-13-2013) - BONUS 2nd Code 1/ /201
Feb 2013 -
Mar 6th (WED) 2013 -
***NOTE****CHANGE IN CODE USE** - Redbox allows SOME codes (they specify if it can or can't) to be used to RESERVE the movie online first before you go.

EXPIRED (RECENT DEALS)
Facebook (March Madness Game is Over) - Codes Expired 5-3-2013
Redhead Nation (Redbox Streaming Game Game is Over - Codes Expired 6-30-2013)

EXPIRED - TEXT TO GETCODE #2 Video Game - Posted 6-11-2013 Text: E3 to 727272 the OP thread if I can find it again... Code is good until 6-20-2013
EXPIRED - NOWPLAY is once again dead but may become active in the future 6-3-2013
EXPIRED - Text: TOMB to 727272 (posted 6-1-2013) here is the OP's thread that he shared the code in please rep. Code is good until 6-30-2013 but no word on how long the text to get it will be valid.



* - After a long deal of time try the card again 1-2 years later... for another go around. Or check cards that get re-issued to you either because the account was cancelled due to a lost card or stolen for example; or cards that are re-issued as they expire. - Nothing to lose by trying them again, but a few seconds time.
============================================================
Also, use prepaid gift cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover) as long as you have at least a $1.20 DVD + Tax, $1.50 + Tax Blu-rays, $2.00 + Tax Games balance (or if you happen to be in a test market whatever the applicable prices are in your area).

The promo code does NOT work if you reserve it online. - However, when you sign up create an account your first reservation nets you a $1.20 off your next rental.

Click here [redbox.com] to find the location nearest you.


HOW TO USE A CODE AT THE KIOSK - Most CODES ARE AT THE KIOSK. IT used to be ALL of them but... (They have begun a limited number of ONLINE codes but they are USUALLY marked CLEARLY for ONLINE RESERVATION ONLY)

To use a promo code, visit a Redbox. Touch "Rent with Promo Code" and enter a valid promo code.
Select the movie you want. Touch "add to cart". The price will come up as $1.20 minus $1.20 for a total of $0 -- Free Rental! (PRICES UPDATED to reflect DVD now cost $1.20
or $1.50 for Blu-ray - $1.20 = $0.30 + tax on that amount.
Touch "Check out" and you will be prompted to slide your credit card through.
Enter in your e-mail when prompted or touch "no thanks".
Enter in your zip code that appears on your credit card's statement.

You have until 9pm the next day to return your movie for no charge. Additional days are $1.20/day plus tax. After 25 days ($24 with code), (IS THAT PRICING CURRENT) the movie is considered yours to keep.
Some machines allow movie purchases for $6 + tax (prices may vary). DVD's can be returned to ANY Redbox, not just the one you got it from.

Promo codes are valid once per credit card. You can enter in your email address at the machine to be added to a mailing list where more free codes will come as well as your receipt. Prepaid credit cards - have been shut down.

New Redbox Code may come ANY DAY* of the month from Redbox text 727272 - * this has changed from the Redbox literature still on their site (not first monday, although it could be, it's any day of the month they choose).

FAQs About Monthly Codes

What's the Redbox text club?
The Redbox text club is a group of customers who want to get great deals on their phones. If you're a member, you'll get special Redbox deals & freebies texted straight to your phone – including a free promo code every month!
How do I sign up for the Redbox text club?
All you have to do is text the word SIGNUP to 727272. (Up to 2 messages a week, only available on participating carriers, message and data rates may apply, and you can always text HELP for help & STOP to quit.)
Why aren't you sending promo codes on the first Monday of the month anymore?
Text club members told Redbox that they wanted free promo codes on more days than just Mondays, and Redbox listened! Now, instead of Movie Mondays, you can expect your free promo codes to be texted to you on days of the week that aren't just Mondays. You'll still be sent one free promo code per month.
If I've already signed up for Free Movie Mondays, do I have to register again?
Nope! As long as your phone number & carrier haven't changed, you won't need to re-register for the text club.
Can the free monthly promo code be used to rent Blu-ray™ movies or video games?
Yes! Using your promo code for a Blu-ray movie or video game will take $1 off the price of your first day's rental.
Will I be charged for the promo codes I receive from the text club?
Redbox will never charge you for the promo codes you receive from the text club. You might see some message & data rate charges from your mobile provider, though, so be sure to check your plan.
I got a promo code thru the text club, but it didn't work. What should I do?
The promo code will only work on the day you receive it. If you tried to use your code on the day you received it but it still didn't work, please contact the Redbox Customer Care team.
I didn't get my free monthly promo code texted to me until the nighttime, so I didn't have a chance to use it. What should I do?
Redbox always sends out the free promo code texts between 8 am and 10 am, local time (based on the area code of your cell phone). If your promo code comes later than that, it might be an issue with your phone. Please call your mobile provider to find out what's going on.

Quote from beowulf7 :
I wound up renting the Blu-ray version of "End of Watch". Great movie and I'm normally not a fan of those 1st person documentary style movies. Cool Note that he movie is very rated R. According to IMDB, it is in the top 5 for movies for most number of occurrences of the F-word. laugh out loud
Agree. Saw it a couple weeks ago. Last 20 mins was gripping!

Huge fan of hers since she appereared in House, but check out the movie Butter to see her on a pole for a scene or two. The scene makes the movie worth the dollar.
Thanks again for the recommendation of "Butter". I finally got around to checking it out. Olivia Wilde is my new Mila Kunis. drool

The girl-on-girl action with Ashley Greene was also pretty good. Blush

I have a Blockbuster Express code that I can't use since no more BBE kiosks exist in my area. Let me know if you're interested in it. If you can trade a Redbox movie code, that would be appreciated, otherwise no biggie.

T5GMHMNZ used. Unfortunately, the email I received about code T5GMHMNZ didn't state it was for 50 cents off, and I presumed it was a free code. But I see here it does state 50 cents.

So for anyone who received email updates, make sure you return here to see the full post :-)

Hey, i was just wondering... I rented Taken 2 (BLU-RAY) a few weeks back. And myself along with, too many to count, people reported they couldn't get the Redbox rentals to play on any of their machines. I personally tried it in a PS3, a two different Sony BR stand alone players, and two Samsung HTIB's failed to read on any of them. ...Had the same problem months back with the Artist (Blu-ray)

ANYWAY, just wondering if they ever sent out replacement discs or if someone has recently rented it. For all the time I spend asking the question & not getting a response on facebook I should just rent the DVD.

Rented Taken 2 a few weeks ago on Bluray and it worked fine on my Sony Bluray player.

Thanks for the feedback. Repped! Wondering if you could provide a tad more information. Model of the BDP player & if you know more specifically the date.
I must have posted it in another thread, but I believe I and others rented it on / near the generic Valentines day code.
Oh well, I'll give it another go either way.

I really enjoyed "Taken 2" (almost as the original), but I saw it at the theater, I didn't rent it. Bdub, did you update your Blu-ray player's firmware?

I rented it on 2/17 and the Sony BDP model # is S370. Hope that helps.

Interesting. So I wonder if A - they got different copies in different places or B - they replaced the bad copies. I also use a BDP-S370 and when I tried the copy that I received either during the Valentines day code ==OR= the Generic DWTFREE3/4 codes (the week before) it wouldn't be read by that player either. OK, I'll definitely give it a second shot, thanks again.
Quote from beowulf7 :

Yup, despite an awful experience with my very first Blu-ray Player having a bad firmware update - though it reported to have completed successfully (luckily it was under warranty so it ONLY put me out $15 to mail it down to Laredo, TX and have them completely ignore the letter explaining the problem) - all they did was erase & re-flash the new firmware making it about 90% Blu-ray compatible. After the bad firmware update it was had dropped from previously playing 100% of the Blu-rays attempted, to about 30%...

Anyway, yes the PS3, the Sony's BR players & the Samsung HTIB are all up to date with firmware. If it's one device it's usually the issue, something with the damnable copy protection not playing right with the device. But this was 5 devices from me & literally 100's more reports on the redbox facebook page in that day or two when someone mentioned others had the same issue & I should check it out. I'm confident the discs were a bad copy.
I got into reading an interesting thread on AVS forum about how seemingly to punish people like me, who 99% of the time rent only, some movie studios are providing a less stellar/less pristine usually 25GB Blu-ray version of the movie instead of the original 50GB versions. Apparently, the thought process behind the studio "geniuses" that came up with that one is that if people really like the movie they will pay to see the higher quality version & get the extras that some of these rental only discs have.
But.... Unless you know that going in, what is the average movie renter to think? Um, hey this movie looks like $#i+, glad I didn't blow $12-$18 bux on buying it. Crying2 Rofl2

P.S. I discretely marked the rental disc so I'd know if I rented the same one again.
