I called Redbox today and got answers to my questions re: codes not working. (I swear this is what they told me):
The monthly First Monday code will be sent out only to people who have joined Redbox with a valid credit card on account at Redbox.com.
Each member will be sent a unique one-use code. To get the code, you must be signed up to receive it as a text message on your cell phone. They will not email it. When you sign up to receive the monthly code it can take up to 2 weeks to be on the receiving list, so sign up now to get the December code.
They know about this site and others where codes have been shared with the public, and are doing this so members only can use their code texted to them, not post it or share it with a friend or use it on another credit card. – one use only.
When we swiped multiple cards they still picked up that it’s the same name on them, so caught on to that trick too. I did it myself, since I have a lot of cards because they all give different rebates every month on gas, groceries, retail, home, office, travel, restaurants, etc. My credit rating is very high because I pay all of them in full each month.
For those who were able to use a code several times today, it’s because it was not one of the new one-use codes that started today.
Unfortunately, this willl make most or all of the codes posted here on Inside Redbox invalid. I don’t know if the codes a person gets for joining Redbox will also be one-use, but I bet so. That would mean this site would shut down? Or just no codes but still the nice reviews of the movies and other news. Sorry. WE All Loved the Codes.
Another comment re: some rude members here: Obviously I’m not poor by the above comment re: paying all my bills in full. But not rich, either. I’m a disabled Vet on a fixed income and am just careful not to pay interest, so will take a freebie when I can get one. Why not? No one here should criticize that. I didn’t get a free movie today, but so what? I'm not whining. I have two Netflix and two from the library to watch, so no big loss.
OK, Here’s a plan: How about some teamwork? That’s how you win, isn’t it? Someone go on Redbox.com and sign up for an account with your mail address. Receive the free code for joining by email, then use it yourself, then post it here and we’ll test it for multiple use. Then we’ll know if those are also one-time. Sharing will pay off and we'll find out where we stand.
