   I have now turned on comments for this section. If it gets abused, I will have to turn them off again.

   Use this section to:
   - Share additional info about a code
   - Report locations that have a Redbox that are not on the Location list
   - Any other Redbox Code related comments

   Comments that do not apply to this section will be deleted.

   Any chance of adding Exp dates, if known? And maybe also another status line for “failed - one time use”. I forget which code got that response for me.

   @CC112379: I have added Hy-Vee to the locations list.

   @erickwookie: I have added the new “One-time use” status option. I will be adding an expiration date for the codes, as well as a few others things, in the next update.

   Thanks!

   Nice! Great job BTW. Also recently found your dvdplay site. Didn’t realize there were a few of those around me as well. Gotta love free movies…

   I tried using several codes yesterday but none of them worked. Is the code only used once at each Red Box location? I’m still learning.

   Thanks for posting the Monday code early today- I was able to write it down this morning before leaving for work, and use it on the way home. I asked for Bee Movie and it gave me Deck The Halls, but for free I’m not complaining, I’ll watch it anyways. I missed out on the last few because I don’t have internet access at work and the Redboxes are too far to go to after getting home.

   Sometimes if you enter a promo code before selecting your movie, it will spend a minute processing then say “We are currently unable to process your promo code, please try again later.” I got it to work by selecting the movie first, then at checkout hitting the “Add promo code” button.

   Has anyone checked out the Free HDTV offer? Do they really send you a free TV if you take advantage of 2 offers plus a survey? What’s the catch? $300 in shipping and handling?? I want to know more b4 I take advantage of this offer.

    You can use the same promo card more than once only if you use a different credit card. You can get more free movies for however many cards you have.

    March 18 2008 @ 7:42 pm

    The codes ‘breakroom’, ‘credit’ and ‘dvdonme’ always work. If you’re a new customer usually ‘redbox’ works to welcome you for joining. happy renting.

    im a little confused. what does the percentage beside the code mean? that it works 100% of the time? or that it has been used up 100%?

17. 

    bigshew said

    March 20 2008 @ 12:12 pm

    How about adding the raw totals for redeemed codes next to the %. Like “90% - 180/200″.

    Percent can be misleading, ie. 100% could be just 1 of 1.

18. 

    Michael said

    March 20 2008 @ 1:23 pm

    @bigshew:

    That is what I use the highlighting system for. If a code has only been used once, it highlights in yellow. Green shows that it has been reported working recently and often.

    If you want to see more details, you can click on the code, which shows the complete history of that code. It includes the raw counts, too.

    Thanks!

    Like the coupon code section of your website as well as the new release list. Redbox still makes a profit off me on extra days on a weekend rental, or on reserved titles, so everybody’s happy. Like the no monthly committment, no late charges, decent selection of new released DVD’s, low rental rates, and long hours the Redbox machine is available.
    Redbox may want to consider adding Price Chopper supermarket to the list of locations. They have an outdoor machine in Connecticut near my office.
    Both video stores in my hometown closed recently so the Redbox machine in the local Stop and Shop supermarket has suddenly become extremely popular.

    Eventually, you may want to implement the use of a Turing test or something to verify that an actual person is submitting the code as a means to prevent automated spam. While this might not be a problem now, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

    (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha, for the uninitiated.)

    Also, having people re-type the code in a second text box for verification of accuracy will help to ensure that typos aren’t submitted.

    Michael said

    March 21 2008 @ 6:35 am

    @fingerling:

    Great comments. I do want to avoid the turing test, because I just think they are annoying. I do have a system in place to prevent automated code spam, though.

    I will be adding something soon that will alert the user if it is detected they are entering a new code, and require their confirmation. This should eliminate typos quite a bit.

    Thanks!

    For those of you with multiple credit cards the code works for each card only once. Monday codes are a bunch of jumbled #’s or letters and can only be used on a Monday. I can post them as soon as i get them in the morning.

    bigshew said

    For some reason none of the codes were being accepted on Saturday morning 3/22. I tried 7 different ones. Anyone else have all codes rejected?

    SPRING & MISSYOU were good this morning. THANKYOU, CREDIT & GIANT were no good (even at a GIANT - tried 2 diff locations!). Seems like nobody can get CREDIT to work after someone above said it always works? Guess they have a friend on the inside…

    As I mentioned last Saturday, the Redbox at Walgreens in Chicago is rejecting all codes except for the Monday only code. Tried again Tuesday. Codes were working up to Saturday. Rejected codes: FREEHDTV, SPRING, BEEMOVIE, MISSYOU, DVDONME, THANKU, MARCH, 14FREE, THANKS, SPRINGBREAK, PRESIDENT, BUDDY, MOVIEONME.
    Tomorrow I’ll try another location.

    There are specific code that work at specific location and store in your area. It is good for a long time.
    In Maryland at my local Giant, the code “GIANT” is working. I don’t think it work in any other market.

    Ruth said

    the code THANKS works,but you need to use a different credit card every time you use it.

    cheyne said

    March 26 2008 @ 3:02 pm

    I have noticed many of the codes dont work. But they still show that they’ve been used over the past few days in other locations. Whats the deal?

    An example is the monday-only code. I missed the cutoff by a minute!! A guy in front of me took forever picking a movie at midnight and I missed out. But people are still posting that they used the code effectively on Tuesday and Wednesday. Whats the deal?

    I’m thinking it is error on the part of the person posting it here, not on the redbox end. What do you think?

    Breakroom has worked for me 3 times at the same location. Like posted earlier you have to use different credit cards.

    Michael in Kentucky said

    March 27 2008 @ 3:18 pm

    An above poster had asked about codes working more then once.

    The answer is yes, for a while, several codes would give 5 movies per credit/visa debit card. If I remember correctly, BREAKROOM, DVDONME were the only ones. But both have now been limited to 1 freebie per card. SERIES also gave 3 freebies per card for a time till it was disabled.

    I have yet to find another code that gives more then 1 but should anyone find another multiple freebie code please let us know.

    Hey boss, what about coding said multiple movie codes? maybe Blue? Or something should they appear?

35. 

    mooeystitches said

    March 27 2008 @ 6:14 pm

    I have been using the codes and love the free movies. But now it is where I can only use the Monday code. Have 4 different cards that I use and today tried 7 codes at two locations with all 4 cards and it said either it was not a valid code or that I have already used the code. Any suggestions other than just waiting for Monday? From KY.

    This is a great site. I was curious as to what happens to the peeps who place the dirty/bogus codes?

    Example: The other day, C*CK TEEZ was the code and I LMAO on that one. Yesterday,the code was removed.

    The funny part,2 other peeps reported that code wouldn’t work.

    Dan said

    ^Those people reported it did not work so that it would be removed from the list of codes. When a code has a success rate of less than 33% it is removed from the list of codes.

    I have had great luck with both of the sites, although today i tried 5 codes at REDBOX and 3 codes at DVDPLAY and none of them worked. It is all just the luck of the draw i figure and it would help if more people logged in daily and let the rest of us know what works and what doesn’t. Bottom line You still ROCK Michael!

    Fred, sorry bud No disrespect intended.. but might as well get used to it.. with digital age in full swing finding a “Zoomed in” movie (aka full screen) that cuts off 1/2 the movie will become increasingly difficult to find.

    I just recently broke down and purchased several new Wide screen HDTVs, and now appreciate the Wide screen format and wouldn’t go back to “Zoomed in” movies even if I was paid

    i’m not sure if this is true but my friend said that if you don’t use you’re email addy on a credit card then you can use the code as many times as you want as redbox tracks the emails not the credit card numbers.

    Hi Akoanino -

    I already called REDBOX and they are not going to be expanding via franchises.

    All Redbox machines and locations are corporate owned.

    I was disappointed too.

    But, just like STARBUCKS, no franchises.

    8traxrule said

    April 3 2008 @ 8:35 pm

    You have to ’swipe’ your credit card, that way they can charge you if you bring the movie back late or not at all. They won’t charge anything if you return a free rental on time.

    Thanks for the new codes; couldn’t get the Monday one in time this week since I have no computer access at work but used NOFOOL today.

    Do you know if Redbox will be allowing you to use the Promo Code via online rentals? It sure would be nice not to have to fight the touchy screen and cuss everytime it takes the letter above, below or beside the letter you are trying to type. Sucks on those cold or rainy days…..

    150 people may have gotten their card info stolen.

    Before sliding your card/s into a kiosk,make sure it doesn’t have a weird looking contraption at the top of the normal card reader.

    Does anyone know how redbox makes money on the rentals? With the price of the kiosks and the DVD’s I have trouble figuring out how they make money on this. And why do they have software engineers for DVD rentals? I checked out the job listings they have and it’s like a corporations list of jobs. I can’t imagine why they need all those positions if all they do is rent DVD’s. When I was at a redbox a couple days ago there was someone from redbox doing something with the machine. As far as I could make out it looked like he was swapping out DVD’s but I couldn’t get a real good look so I’m not sure.

    You can’t return to just any redbox machine. Most machines have the return slot on the side, but some have slots near the bottom with smaller slots. The dvd cases are of different sizes. I’ve also found that 7-11 stores in my area (Nevada) chare $1.50 not 99cents!

    What is up with the bogus-looking codes? Some don’t look or sound legit at all since the code names sound like “negative” words… who posts those and how do those codes get posted. I haven’t tried any of the bogus-looking codes so far.

    I used the promo code’s … Alvin14, mcskllt308 in Utah today and they worked great. :)
    It’s been awhile since i’ve gotten any promo codes to
    work at all around here unless it’s a new card and I use the codes I already knew!! :)

    My email header today read ” Spring Fever”. Someone may wanna try that one.

    Alvin14 still working for me in Ohio. I left my notes with the other codes at home this morning.

    p diddy: Touch the screen to start.You’ll see “enter promo code” key-lower left corner- and press it.Type in the code and enter.If code works,the screen opens up to the movie list-in alphabetical order. If code doesn’t take,it’ll be a red screen saying “Sorry,code is no longer valid”.

    If the screen accepts the code,make sure when you check out,it says $0 for rental charges.Once in a while,it’ll still show $1.07 for me. Usually 1 code works per 1 card. 4 different cards,4 free rentals. Takes longer,but the price is right.
