Free Stuff: One DVD Rental from Redbox
Since the library fills my DVD fix, I do not use Netflix or pay attention to the Redbox DVD rentals boxes at the grocery stores. Redbox rents limited newly released titles for $1 a night with no late fees, it just keeps charing your credit card an additional dollar for each night you have the movie out.
If you enter your email at the Redbox web site, you will be sent a promo code to get one free DVD rental. Or if you go to Redbox Codes to find code or Inside Redbox is a little bit more fancy with codes listed when they were last used, percentage of success and by state.
The one thing that worries me about these machines is that they would be out of order the day I intend to return the movie and I either would have to drive to another location to return it or eat the extra costs. I am sure customer service is used to customers trying to skirt late-day charges with this claim, having records showing that a service call has been made on the out-of-order machine.
Best I can tell from the other titles released today, the library might be my best bet for getting the Jennifer Lopez produced Feel the Noise,
which was released today :) I might save my free promo for next Tuesday and see what is released. By the way, the promo codes are not valid with online rental/reservations.If you use Redbox, let me know your thoughts in the comments.

I love love love redbox! That's the only way we rent movies now. Our library has such long holds on things, so I only use that for old movies that I want to see sometime, but don't care if I have to wait weeks or months. We don't rent movies enough to make netflix worthwhile. Redbox is perfect if we want to watch a movie on a whim, particularly if it's a new/newish release. We love that we can hop online and see what our redbox has in stock, and that you can reserve it online. And it's only a dollar. That's so amazing, since the blockbuster and hollywood stores a block away still charge $3-5 per movie.
I've never run into a problem with our redbox being out of order, but my experienc w/ their customer service has been great. Once we got a coupon for a free movie that expired at midnight. We went to go use it late one night, and it charged me anyway. We figured it was a timezone issue. We emailed to complain, and they sent a nice apology and another coupon.
I'm a big, big fan. My only wish is that at Christmas time that they would carry more Christmas classics. I would think there would be enough demand to warrant it. We'll see...maybe next year.
I use Redbox all the time! There are always codes for free rentals, I don't remember the last time I actually paid to rent a movie from them, as long as I'm on time returning it. I haven't had a problem with any machines being out of order ever either, and I heard from a friend of mine in Washington that if they ARE out of order, Redbox is aware of it and doesn't charge anybody late fees until the machine is working again. I don't know if that's true or not though.
They do have limited titles sometimes or don't have ALL of the new releases, but lately, they've been releasing every major movie on the Tuesday it comes out, which is surprising to me. I would fully recommend Redbox to anybody, there are lots of websites out there with codes, in fact, Amy has a Freebie Friday over at momadvice.com & she loves Redbox too & almost always posts a new code up every Friday.
