I told them I would get some codes for them to try it out. </p> <p>I know there are codes BREAKROOM, DVDONME, DVDATWAG.</p> <p>I know one of them are for new customers only. Meaning, say if you have never used Redbox before and you use DVDATWAG, then you cant use BREAKROOM, or(DVDONME) because, technically you are now not a new customer.</p> <p>My question is, in order to be able to use all 3 of the codes, which order should they be used in? I know DVDATWAG should be last, but dont know which of the other code should be used first.</p> <p>Its been so long since I used those I cant remember!</p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/no-longer-getting-confirm-rentals-or-returns#post-725 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:40:35 +0000 slidecage 725@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>i think im almost done with redbox now... hold times is 20+ mins..

My name is phillychad. I am really glad I found this site. Looks like alot of fun! I have a question... It seems like for the most part, that there are two main free rental codes out there... DVDONME and BREAKROOM. The few others I have seen are either regional or have been confirmed inactive. Is there simply not that many codes out there? I would think that with a whole web site devoted to it, that there MUST be many more, YET, all I see is the few on the main page. Am I missing something? Also, from time to time, as I'm sure you already know... REDBOX sends me free rental codes. Will these work for others as well? If so, I would love to post them for others to use...</p> <p>GETTING OVER ON RDBOX...</p> <p>I was thinking. REDBOX WANTS THE FREE CODES OUT THERE! I don't know about you, BUT personally, due to the low rental fee, I end up keeping my rentals out sometimes for days at a time. Therefore, even though I have used the "free rental" codes I end up still giving REDBOX money for the extra days. That said, I'm certain others (you?) do the same thing and therfore it's in their best intrest to get the "free codes" out there.. Do you agree?</p> <p>Also, I have noticed as of late, that the machines are ending up outside of the supermarkets. They use to be kept indoors. Is this a decission of REDBOX or the store? Obviously there is no money kept in these machines but I wonder if any of the machines have ever been robed? Especially in a major city like Philadelphia! Have any of you ever heard of this? </p> <p>BLU RAY?<br /> Does anyone have any info on the future of BLU-RAY being offered by REDBOX? I know that I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for a BD DISC...</p> <p>CONTRACTS...<br /> Does REDBOX have a licinceing agreement with the studios as to which movies are placed for rental? I noticed that when my local REDBOX doesn't have a title I want that DVDXPRESS will carry that title? I am curious about how titles are picked...</p> <p>Thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully gegt back to me on this and I look forward to becomming an active member of this community...</p> <p>PHILLYCHAD </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/membership#post-856 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 08:47:21 +0000 simchadude 856@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>How does one get membership?

I'm now into my 3rd day trying to return movie but the vending boxes are still full. They say "no late fees" but I've now got 3 days worth"</p> <p>"I tried to call the 1 800 number and was no hold for over 10 min before I hung up."</p> <p>" I tried to return my movie to 5 different locations tonight and all 5 said they were full. What's up with that?"</p> <p>"No longer a fan. Tried to return 2 movies, last night. Drove to 6 diferent boxes, all of them said "sorry - full". Notified customer service. Finally at 3rd machine I tried today, was able to return the movies, only to get billed an additional night! Geez, they owe me gas money as far as I am concerned! Poor customer service."</p> <p>"I rented District 9 from the 221 Park Ave #223 location along with two others Julie &amp; Julia and Inglorious Basterds. I was unable to return them to the above address due to the box needing service or something it just refused each time. I went to a 2nd location (Walgreens on Park Ave) and that box was full. I then went... to the Shaws Market at 14 W. Boylston St Worcester MA 01605 and FINALLY was able to return all 3 dvd's.</p> <p>However I have ONLY received confirmation emails for Julie and Julia, Inglorious Basterds. District 9 does not appear to have sent a conf of any kind.<br /> Can someone please review this so that I am not billed further?</p> <p>Also can someone please send a technician to the 221 Park Ave #223 location to repair that Red Box as it is closest to me and not functioning correctly.<br /> Thank you for your assistance.</p> <p>PS. I did try to call the 866 733 2693 number however i kept receiving an all circuits busy message."</p> <p>Tried to call, but your line is busy. Tried to return a movie at one location today. The box was full and I couldn't return it. On to box #2. Full. Onto box #3. Full.<br /> Now what do I do?? I don't want to be charged again. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/who-repairs-redbox-machines#post-840 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 09:28:13 +0000 o2bavw 840@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>I was just wondering who does the repairs on the machines, I currently work as a field technician and think it might be a good move to try and get aboard with the company </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/any-free-gold-membership-offers-still#post-259 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 21:39:46 +0000 Hefner413 259@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>Back in April I remember they had offered a free Gold Membership without having to complete any "trial offer" or any other strings attached.

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.

Also, even if they win their lawsuit against Redbox, there are too many 'holes in the dam' to plug. Every Tuesday is called 'street date' in the trade, and is the date everyone from Wal-Mart, to Best Buy, to Redbox, and all kiosk owner operators are allowed to put the new release DVD's on the rack for public access, and Wal-Mart, on Tuesday only, drop the price for one day down to $15--$16.00 for one day only, to drive foot traffic into the store, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com</a> does the same thing--only with a little bit longer 'window of opportunity'--I checked 'Wolverine'--the last installment of the X-men trilogy, and it was priced at $15.50. This lawsuit brought by Universal, then Fox Studios, and Warner Brothers, is pure greed on their part, as last year DVD sales dropped by 8%, while DVD kiosk rental revenue increased at 147%. I have trade articles and a video interview with the CEO of Redbox, and will be happy to send them upon request. You may email me at:gatwell@dvdnowkiosks.com, and our website is : <a href="http://www.dvdnow.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.dvdnow.net</a>, and we are the 4th largest distributors of DVD rental kiosks in the world--hope this has been of utility for you.<br /> Best,<br /> Gordon </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/help-with-explanation-of-how-to-use-codes-and-how-often#post-574 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 22:13:09 +0000 mysterysinc 574@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>I haven't rented a movie in years. Tonight was the first time. I did subscribe to Redbox about a month ago, but I must have deleted the email with the free code. I knew of this site, so I figured I would try one of the codes here since they just installed a Kiosk down the block at a 7 Eleven.</p> <p>Prior to going, I read a few threads in here and it seemed like a few were saying that the codes would not work anymore. The first one I tried did not, but the second one did.</p> <p>Can someone please explain how to use the codes? Can I use one every night? Once a week? More than one a night? Is there a time limit on the codes based on my email address or credit card used?</p> <p>Any help or advice would be appreciated. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/i-just-got-spam-from-an-email-address-that-i-only-gave-to-insideredboxcom#post-601 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 07:28:51 +0000 DKonarska 601@http://www.insideredbox.com/community/ <p>When I first joined inside redbox I created an email address just for them.

Is this broken?</p> <p>Also, I have a suggestion for a future version...</p> <p>I'm a late 30's guy, without kids. I don't ever ever need to see a kid movie or cartoon, so it would be oh so nice to have 'already rented' movies (which I use as 'don't care to see' disappear forever. This would alleviate scrolling past all the junk I have no interest in. Not sure why 'already rented' stays as persistant content. Of course at that stage the full list of movies would become my queue as i'd just delete off everything I'm not interested in.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Marc </p>
