    I have now turned on comments for this section. If it gets abused, I will have to turn them off again.

    Use this section to:
    - Share additional info about a code
    - Report locations that have a Redbox that are not on the Location list
    - Any other Redbox Code related comments

    Comments that do not apply to this section will be deleted.

    Any chance of adding Exp dates, if known? And maybe also another status line for "failed - one time use". I forget which code got that response for me.

    @CC112379: I have added Hy-Vee to the locations list.

    @erickwookie: I have added the new "One-time use" status option. I will be adding an expiration date for the codes, as well as a few others things, in the next update.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for posting the Monday code early today- I was able to write it down this morning before leaving for work, and use it on the way home. I asked for Bee Movie and it gave me Deck The Halls, but for free I'm not complaining, I'll watch it anyways. I missed out on the last few because I don't have internet access at work and the Redboxes are too far to go to after getting home.

    Sometimes if you enter a promo code before selecting your movie, it will spend a minute processing then say "We are currently unable to process your promo code, please try again later." I got it to work by selecting the movie first, then at checkout hitting the "Add promo code" button.

    You can use the same promo card more than once only if you use a different credit card. You can get more free movies for however many cards you have.

    How about adding the raw totals for redeemed codes next to the %. Like "90% - 180/200".

    Percent can be misleading, ie. 100% could be just 1 of 1.

    @bigshew:

    That is what I use the highlighting system for. If a code has only been used once, it highlights in yellow. Green shows that it has been reported working recently and often.

    If you want to see more details, you can click on the code, which shows the complete history of that code. It includes the raw counts, too.

    Thanks!

    Like the coupon code section of your website as well as the new release list. Redbox still makes a profit off me on extra days on a weekend rental, or on reserved titles, so everybody's happy. Like the no monthly committment, no late charges, decent selection of new released DVD's, low rental rates, and long hours the Redbox machine is available.
    Redbox may want to consider adding Price Chopper supermarket to the list of locations. They have an outdoor machine in Connecticut near my office.
    Both video stores in my hometown closed recently so the Redbox machine in the local Stop and Shop supermarket has suddenly become extremely popular.

    Eventually, you may want to implement the use of a Turing test or something to verify that an actual person is submitting the code as a means to prevent automated spam. While this might not be a problem now, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

    (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha, for the uninitiated.)

    Also, having people re-type the code in a second text box for verification of accuracy will help to ensure that typos aren't submitted.

    @fingerling:

    Great comments. I do want to avoid the turing test, because I just think they are annoying. I do have a system in place to prevent automated code spam, though.

    I will be adding something soon that will alert the user if it is detected they are entering a new code, and require their confirmation. This should eliminate typos quite a bit.

    Thanks!

    For those of you with multiple credit cards the code works for each card only once. Monday codes are a bunch of jumbled #'s or letters and can only be used on a Monday. I can post them as soon as i get them in the morning.

    I have noticed many of the codes dont work. But they still show that they've been used over the past few days in other locations. Whats the deal?

    An example is the monday-only code. I missed the cutoff by a minute!! A guy in front of me took forever picking a movie at midnight and I missed out. But people are still posting that they used the code effectively on Tuesday and Wednesday. Whats the deal?

    I'm thinking it is error on the part of the person posting it here, not on the redbox end. What do you think?

    An above poster had asked about codes working more then once.

    The answer is yes, for a while, several codes would give 5 movies per credit/visa debit card. If I remember correctly, BREAKROOM, DVDONME were the only ones. But both have now been limited to 1 freebie per card. SERIES also gave 3 freebies per card for a time till it was disabled.

    I have yet to find another code that gives more then 1 but should anyone find another multiple freebie code please let us know.

    Hey boss, what about coding said multiple movie codes? maybe Blue? Or something should they appear?

Have 4 different cards that I use and today tried 7 codes at two locations with all 4 cards and it said either it was not a valid code or that I have already used the code. Any suggestions other than just waiting for Monday? From KY.

    Fred, sorry bud No disrespect intended.. but might as well get used to it.. with digital age in full swing finding a "Zoomed in" movie (aka full screen) that cuts off 1/2 the movie will become increasingly difficult to find.

    I just recently broke down and purchased several new Wide screen HDTVs, and now appreciate the Wide screen format and wouldn't go back to "Zoomed in" movies even if I was paid

    Hi Akoanino -

    I already called REDBOX and they are not going to be expanding via franchises.

    All Redbox machines and locations are corporate owned.

    You have to 'swipe' your credit card, that way they can charge you if you bring the movie back late or not at all. They won't charge anything if you return a free rental on time.

    Thanks for the new codes; couldn't get the Monday one in time this week since I have no computer access at work but used NOFOOL today.
