They are right there on the Redbox Codes page next to the "colored circles". Currently "DVDATWAG", "DVDONME", and "BREAKROOM" are good codes, others sometimes work but often not. Each code is a link to a list of when the code was last used and the user's comments, but you need javascript enabled for that to pop up.
You can see the codes without any signup at all.
I have no idea what "click colored circle to copy code to form" means, it's never done a thing for me.

The "click colored circle to copy code to form" means that if you click the colored circle next to the code, that code will automatically be placed in the "Promo Code" field of the red "ADD / UPDATE REDBOX CODE" section just above the codes. That way, you don't have to type in the code when you want to report it as working/not, etc.

I did the same thing. Then one day I happened to scroll up and noticed the code whose button/circle I pushed was already entered and I figured it out.
Michael, you might want to make it a little more clear about what the circles do, since the phrase "click colored circle to copy to form" can be a little vague/perplexing when nothing appears to happen on-screen. Maybe have the colored circles "push in" like a button and/or pop you up to the form when clicked.
I'm guessing a lot of people like myself and the others in this thread take a long time to figure this out, if they ever do. Until then, they either have to enter the code manually (and I've seen new codes show up because of typos) or they may just not bother at all to report the code as working or not. So, maybe bad codes would disappear more quickly if more people knew they didn't have to enter them manually every time. I've personally reported on more codes since I figured out how they could be entered automatically. Scrolling up is still a pain, albeit minor, especially when you have a few codes to enter, so "popping" up to the form would be a really nice feature, beyond helping people understand what the circles do.

lakrow,
I agree with you 100% - I know it is a bit confusing and am hoping to remedy that shortly.
Another thing you can do is report the code on the code history page. Just click on the code and right at the top is the "update code" form (it is minimized by default).
Anyway, I do appreciate the feedback, and it is something that is on my to-do list.
