Insiders, your fealty to the almighty Box of Red has not gone unnoticed. Redbox recently rolled out an upgraded loyalty program that offers some pretty sweet rewards for regular renters. Read on for details!
The new program, Redbox Perks, rewards customers based on the number of rentals and purchases they make. There’s a free one-night DVD rental as a gift just for signing up, and then there are three tiers of rewards as rentals are accumulated. The tiers are as follows:
Star (10-19 rentals or purchases)
• Additional promos for special savings
• Free 1-night rental in your b-day month
• 2 free Blu-ray upgrades per year
Superstar (20-49 rentals or purchases)
• Free 1-night rental in your b-day month
• 3 free Blu-ray upgrades per year
• Get alerts for the hottest new releases
• Triple Points Earning Days 2x a year
Legend (50+ rentals or purchases)
• 2 free 1-night rental in your b-day month
• 5 free Blu-ray upgrades per year
• Triple Points Earning Days 3x a year
• Get alerts for the hottest new releases
Redbox Perks program members can also earn additional points by downloading the Redbox app, adding a credit card to their profile, and more. Click here for the full Redbox Perks FAQ.
Are you going to be taking advantage of this new program, Insiders?
This not sweet. It’s worse. 10 any rentals get one free was great. Now it takes 14 or 15 rentals and freebies no longer count. Now instead if a free DVD code which you could use off a Blu-ray and pay the difference now most boo texts only work on DVD. It’s more complicated and restrictive and less exciting. I’m encouraged to rent less.
I agree that it’s worse. A 33% devaluation in the rewards for renting a DVD. My biggest gripe is still the quality of the movies available.

I agree 100%! Redbox likes to position it as this great improved loyalty program, but in fact, it is quite the opposite! It is far more cumbersome and difficult to attain the “freebies” and as indicated above, the free rentals from codes WELL-EARNED are not any longer included in the “equation” when determining/”calculating” the credits one has toward the attaining of rewards! this really sucks and I am really starting to sour on renting from REDBOX. They used to be head and shoulders above the rest, but are no longer that at all!
I stopped the Box sometime back. I just get my DVD’s in the mail from Netflix.
No next day return bit. No going to the box bit. My DVD’s 95% of the time come in one day. And I have HULU, Amazon, Film Struck, Warner Archives. And Acorn TV. And HBO, CIN MAX ^ Show Time On Play Station VUE.
