It’s SPAM, it’s a bot that finds open sites it can post to. It may not be possible to block the IP address because they use a bot network that has 1000′s of compromised windows machines. You can thank microsoft and billy boy gates for that one.

If this thread were removed it would stop it for a while. Another thing would be to change the URL from /codes-and-cash/ to /codes-and-cash2/ on all the references here.

If a user isn’t logged in a simple extra text box they have to fill in with one word (a static word works because the bots are lame). Next to the box you say please type in the word “hat” in this box to prove you are human. Then test for that word before letting it post.

The winner has been chosen and is being notified right now.

We chose the winner randomly from the list of correct answers.

We will be sending out an update shortly announcing the winner and starting the next contest.

Stay tuned!

I to went to three different Redbox machines (all on my way home from work) and I tried 7 different codes at all the machines starting with “renting with promo code” and every one came back with either “invalid code” or “code already used”. Have you spoken to anyone at Redbox to see why this is happening.
Aslo I understand that there is only one winner (come on people get real if you think everyone wins) but my question is how will you decide who wins. Was it the first one who responded back with the correct answer/drawing from printed email reply’s………

Oh, it totally makes sense…but it’s not what your website read a few weeks ago. You know, the “no late fees” thing.

How do I get another copy of the redbox update email for treasure hunt password.
I think it ended up in my junk mail and was deleted.

Michael,
You wrote on 3-21 that you will notify “the” winner, which means to me that there will be only one winner. If more than one person got all the answers correct, shouldn’t they all win, or do you just choose one winner? Just wondering. Thanks.

I am not sure what Lisa means by “late fees”.

The cost to rent a DVD is $1/day – and after 25 days you own it.

The code simply gives you 1 day free. So, if you keep it longer than a day, you will definitely be charged. But, these are not “late” fees per se, just the normal $1/day charge for having a DVD out.

Hope that makes sense.
