I think what they are doing is using the last machine you rented from as the location in the email. I got one listing Walgreens and tried it at a Jewel. Worked! </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/new-machine-specific-codes-going-out#post-888 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:16:42 +0000 UBM 888@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>Looks like there are more coming.<br /> I just got another machine specific code<br /> 5 mins. ago, via email, tied to a specific machine<br /> near my work!

I guess they'd have trouble here with so many Redbox machines already here. What's funny is this is a town with no Redboxes at McDonald's. That's how I first found them when I was living in Houston. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/renting-movies-increase-to-2#post-881 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 13:08:56 +0000 iago23 881@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>SOFU thanks for the link but I have yet to see a Blockbuster kiosk.

Came home and called Redbox -- got right through -- and explained the situation asking for a return of that nights fees. The very nice lady (definite Canadian accent) on the phone first claimed she couldn't issue the refunds, but when pressed she sent me 5 free promo codes. </p> <p>The next day, I was out and decided to stop at another Walgreens to return the movies. Here I found an older gentleman who was "loading" movies and indicated he would be a while -- but he then kindly offered to take the movies and return them for me after he was done.</p> <p>This morning I still hadn't received any "return" notices via e-mail, so I once again called Reedbox. This time, the man I spoke with (he said he was in Chicago) was most helpful and immediately sent out the refunds -- $1 per card. He also checked and confirmed that the 4 movies had been returned yesterday as promised. He noted that the "technicians" have some way to return DVDs that don't generate e-mails.</p> <p>So be persistent in calling, keep track of what you have, where you tried to return them, times, etc. Entering your e-mail address for each card you use is only needed once, and you'll get a confirmation receipt of your rental and the subsequent return. And yeah, he said to keep and use the codes that had been sent to me the day before! </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/suddenly-redbox-is-not-easy-shmeasy#post-850 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 17:53:46 +0000 clownphart 850@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>It would help if everyone knew what they wanted, rent it and move on. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/suddenly-redbox-is-not-easy-shmeasy#post-849 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 17:16:34 +0000 AmyMichelle 849@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>wow NyteHawk that would be great! i can't tell you how many times i stood in line forever just trying to return a video </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/redbox-future-release-ids-early-bird-opportunity#post-838 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:21:28 +0000 Michael 838@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>I appreciate the thought in sharing this information, but this is not new to Inside Redbox. We always post new releases well ahead of the redbox email, and anyone can access and rent Redbox movies at 12:00am on release day by accessing our movie list, or even that on redbox.com. </p> <p>We track all new ids on a daily basis and add them to our system. We don't necessarily share them too early, though, because as you mentioned there really is no point since DVDs aren't stocked in the kiosks until a few days before release, and even if they are there just knowing the ids does not allow you to rent them. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/redbox-future-release-ids-early-bird-opportunity#post-837 Wed, 17 Feb 2010 17:48:49 +0000 bs0d 837@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>Hey redbox enthusiasts, </p> <p>I posted some information on my website regarding unreleased movies on redbox that I thought you might be interested in. This information that may be particularly useful to those in competition for reservations. I'd like to specify that the site admin.'s here are more than welcome to post the same info on insideredbox.com, provided that credit is given to AllSyntax.com &amp; the author. I looked for a contact method, but didn't find any here, so I'm posting it to the forums.

I only just joined the forum today in order that I could post this message about receiving spam to my "Inside Redbox"-exclusive e-mail address. I just received the first spam (multiple copies of the same e-mail) today. I thought I would post this because I didn't read any follow-up and the previous posts are at least three weeks old. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/duplicated-reservation#post-822 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:08:21 +0000 UBM 822@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>they go ahead and charge you ( no way to refund was what I was told)<br /> and in place of a cash refund, they give out the 30 day use code...<br /> since it was only $1, didn't seem like a big deal to me.... </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/duplicated-reservation#post-821 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:28:34 +0000 stephiejean37 821@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>Ive had it happen before too.

However if you browse the actual inventory for any particular kiosk from the iPhone app or the website you'll see movies that have been floating around the system that may be up to 2 years old. </p>
