Instead, they are full of games.<br /> I want movies and have been a good customer for years. The nearest movies I want, such as Blitz, starring Jason Statham who is a hot actor, are now located 50 miles (one way!) from me, instead of being in the 5 Redboxes in my town. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/rio-and-redbox#post-1379 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 04:42:16 +0000 hukildkeny 1379@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>so sad to see that rio will be available at bbe on 8/9 just one week after release yet redbox wont have it until 8/30. is this a move by the studios to try to put bbe ahead of redbox? </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/redbox-website-problems#post-1364 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 09:41:41 +0000 boberthavok 1364@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>The main site itself works. But when I try to click on a movie or game the site gets a pop up ad that will not go away. It also won't let me check the location of the Redboxs near me to see what movies they have. </p> <p>Does anyone know why it is doing this to me or is anyone else having the same problem? </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/how-to-delete-or-disable-the-redbox-account#post-1334 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 06:00:46 +0000 seanguyen 1334@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>Does anyone know how to delete the Redbox account? Note: the account on Redbox.com site, not this Insideredbox.com site.<br /> I registered 5 months ago, providing all info such email address, phone #, and I haven't gotten 1 Monday free code, I did contact Redbox CSR and they said they would work on that. It has been 1 month now, no response whatsover so I want to delete the account.<br /> If anyone knows how, please help.<br /> Big thanks </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/did-redbox-give-up-on-its-new-website-design#post-1265 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 10:23:04 +0000 Hassen Ben Sobar 1265@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>The new design seems to have been mothballed.

Searched the forum but didn't find a discussion on this.</p> <p>I use the Redbox android app and the webpage but often I'm driving home and would like to see what new releases are available at my local kiosk. If I just drive over to the kiosk it adds thirty minutes to my commute home (15 minutes each way) and I'm gambling that there will be something available that I want to see. Like I said, I use the mobile app but when I'm driving it seems too dangerous to be scrolling through movies on my phone.</p> <p>Does anyone else think it would be cool to call an automated line, hear the new releases, and then reserve at your favorite kiosk? </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/what-is-going-on-with-the-redbox-website#post-1333 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 14:38:00 +0000 offthegrid 1333@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>They had a good working website and for a long long time know they've been playing around with it and it stinks.

It is certainly saving me $$$ for having some really bad movies rob me of hours of my life. For instance:</p> <p>PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2 - Really a BAD movie<br /> JONAH HEX - Even though it had Megan Fox, I had to fastforward to the end just to watch it<br /> SALT - Would this movie EVER end?</p> <p>Maybe we can write comments with a Sharpie on the DVD to warn others? They wouldn\'t be able to track that, right? Just a thought. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/speaking-with-the-call-center-reps#post-1240 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 22:03:28 +0000 DeathStar 1240@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>I\'ve had to deal with the reps at the call center a few times, and honestly, I think they\'re absolutely wonderful. They\'re incredibly helpful, and seem to do whatever they are able to, to fix the problem. I know a few people who think if they freak out on the reps they\'ll get more out of it... but I\'m pretty sure that is not how it works. I work at another call center.. and when people freak out on me, I try my best to give them as little as possible. I mean, just like any other job, the reps there must have policies they need to follow so they can only do so much. But I\'m sure the nicer you are to them, the more likely they will go to bat for you to get you as much as they can. It disgusts me when people are rude to call center reps. They\'re just doing a job. They don\'t want to be there anymore than you want to have to call them. And if you\'re having a problem with a redbox machine, which I have before, why would you take it out on the person trying to help you? They didn\'t go to your local machine and destroy it just so YOU couldn\'t rent. So, I\'m sure most of you think this is lame, but how about trying to be a little nicer to the people you are asking for help? </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/bonus-material-only-on-bluray#post-1269 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 22:11:04 +0000 Anonymous 1269@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>The last few DVDs I\'ve rented from REDBOX have all bonus materials missing - when clicking on \'Special Features\' or \'Bonus Material\' - a message comes onscreen saying that they don\'t appear on this DVD because it\'s only a rental - but you can see them on BluRay.

I\'m taking a course in Management at Troy University and chose Redbox to do a research paper on because it seems to be a great company with lots of growth potential. The problem is, I\'m having trouble doing research on it since it\'s not a publicly held corporation.<br /> I\'m not asking for any company secrets, but if anyone could give me any general infromation on the following subjects, it would be greatly appreciated:</p> <p>• Company mission, strategy, goals<br /> • Company core values • Information on CEO, his/her leadership, power and influence on the company; management style<br /> • Corporate culture • How does the company create and sustain culture?<br /> • Organizational structure<br /> • How does the company stimulate innovation and change?<br /> • How does the company handle corporate social responsibility? </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/rated-r-movies-return-help#post-384 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 16:29:48 +0000 Christian4ever 384@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>I was wondering if someone does not want rated R movies in their Red Box and they do not allow them to even be an option, can someone return one from another Red Box and then rent it out of the first one? For instance, if someone rents a rated R movie and then returns it to another kiosk that does not allow R movies to be rented, can they be checked out from the one that does not allow it?

Why? They like to repackage old movies and showcase them along with new releases. To trick the customer further, they even put up different artwork on the case.</p> <p>Next time when you try to rent, make sure you check online that they are the latest release: just google the title. This repackage-with-different-face thing had caught me like 3-4 times already for movies that I already watched. And they don’t show the year a particular movie is released either.</p> <p>Lamers! I happen to get tricked just now. I wish somebody take this issue straight up to Mitch Lowe’s a** and shove it up. Maybe follow up with a lawsuit or two to redbox. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/new-filter-wanted#post-1244 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 11:27:39 +0000 jbellville 1244@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>I prefer not to rent R movies.

They each offer such great services (Netflix with their enormous library and Redbox with their awesome convenience and almost instantaneous gratification quotient).</p> <p>So, here's what I think would be a great idea: The ability to return the Netflix envelope/dvd to a redbox and get a "free" Redbox DVD in exchange. Netflix would then automatically send out the next DVD in your queue as you've "returned" your movie. This way, you get instant gratification of the redbox DVD while you're waiting for the next DVD in your Netflix queue (which is sped up by possibly as much as a day - depending on when you return). Maybe we could also see a subscription pricing model from redbox that took advantage of this feature. Like a $3-6 monthly add-on to your netflix account?</p> <p>Thoughts? </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/quickreturn-feature-has-anyone-ever-seen-it-our-used-it#post-1158 Mon, 08 Nov 2010 12:36:22 +0000 Nazrac86 1158@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>Last year, redbox said they were testing a "quickreturn" feature at their kiosks - a second slot for disk returns only...."Redbox, the largest of the kiosk operators, indicated Monday that it plans to address the problem by introducing a "Quickreturn" feature that will separate customers who merely wish to return a disk from those who are renting one" - from an article August 2009. Has anyone seen this feature? Has anyone used this feature? If so, please comment (with an address, if possible, so I can see one for myself). </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/is-there-a-detailed-release-list#post-1144 Fri, 15 Oct 2010 20:54:46 +0000 moviecouple1995 1144@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>Just curious if there is a detailed Upcoming Release List?

The good news here is Netflix takes action on legitimate complaints, and are very nice about it too.</p> <p>With the holiday weekend and mail not being delivered, I reserve 3 DVDs on redbox.com to fill the gap.</p> <p>When I show up they're not available, machine out of service. I call customer service, wait 20 minutes, given an obviously scripted "apology", and am offered CODES to replace or a refund. It's "not possible" to transfer the reservation to working kiosk, or even tell me what's available. I select codes and go to nearby kiosk.</p> <p>At the nearby kiosk, only one of the 3 DVDs is available, I take it and go home. On arriving home (about 10 minutes) I check the redbox.com and the two "unavailable" are shown as available to be reserved.</p> <p>A second call to customer service, a 10 minute wait, another scripted apology, promise of a refund (verbal only, no written message) which will take 3-5 business days (means a week from the day after tomorrow).</p> <p>So much for guaranteed reservations. I will have my own reservations about redbox.com now.</p> <p>Getting around for me is no small feat, and last minute failures cannot readily be mended, so redbox.com is going into my unreliable and unresponsive category, where it is likely to take up permanent residence.</p> <p>In all fairness, I report I have previously rented a DVD from redbox.com on separate occasions, with no problems. Still it's 1 of 3 on events and 3 of 5 on DVDs for extreme dis-service. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/renting-movies-increase-to-2#post-437 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:22:57 +0000 ddiazrose 437@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>why the rental dvd now is 2$? </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/being-temporarily-charged-by-redbox-for-a-free-movie#post-1057 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:37:51 +0000 canoesnip1 1057@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>I recently rented a movie at Walgreens under the code "DVDATWAG". It allowed it to go through at the time, and I also rented another movie that we paid for at the time. I only had $1.83 in my account, but knew it wouldn't be a problem because we got one for free. Come to find out a few days later, redbox took out the $1.06 for the paid for movie, and $1 for the other movie. This caused my bank account to go "overdraft" and get fees. When I called Redbox about it, they said the $1 is a "hold" they're putting on the account to make sure there are funds in there. Has anyone else had them put a hold on their account for a free movie? Also, they're telling me that my bank should reimburse me for the fees, and that many people that they've talked to have said their banks reimbursed them???</p> <p>Can anyone give advice/opinion about what to do? My bank is telling me they won't reimburse me!
