    I guess the promise of free codes forever was too good to be true. Anyways, thanks for running the site and for access to the codes. Keep up the good work.

    Could you give me some more detail on the writing position? Sounds interesting. =)

    do you sell the redbox to people so they can start a business of their own?

    Sadly, for quite some time now I have not been able to get a code to work for a free movie. However, we still the dollar rentals. A free movie every now and then is a bonus. Thanks for keeping the codes updated for us.

    I too have been having trouble with the codes lately. I too really enjoy the $1 rental and if late I don't "freek-out" with those rediculous late fees - just $1 more. I live in a small town with only 3 Redbox and the two nearest to my home have not been allowing a code stating, 'sorry, unable to process this code, sorry for the inconvience'. Finally found one new code the other night that was way down the list. So keep trying.

    Hello,

    Redcodes have not worked in months for me, also as excited as I was origionally about the redbox, I realized that there are some negative factors, for instance, I was trying to return a movie a few days ago, the box was jammed, no support at all of course, so I had to drive to another box, also, while I was at a box, a customer was saying to me that the movie they had rented had been damaged, they were unable to watch it, and had to return it in that condition, knowing the next person would get the damaged dvd too...these are real issues, while renting for a buck is awesome, there are going to be some drawbacks as well. I also don't have a redbox near me, they are all 20t miles, how do I get one in my area?????

    @michelle,

    No question there are always issues, particularly with new services...

    The issues you brought up (problem returning / damaged dvd) is easily solved by calling Redbox (1-866-REDBOX3).

    For everyone, if you do ever get a damaged DVD, please do not just put it back in the box without calling Redbox and letting them know.

    If you do get a damaged disc, Redbox will give you a code for a free rental and mark the disc damaged in the system so they can remove it.

    So, when in doubt, call Redbox!

    HI there!

    I'd like your writing job. I've just published a series of 21 "insanity sagas"; would like a change of pace.

    I found you in Albertson's grocery a few weeks ago and we meet in secret almost every night of the week . . . shh!

    Hello Michael,
    Isn't Google wonderful? I never knew you existed until today. You are on the Google add a button site, and are now added to my toolbar. LOL Anyways, I want to know along with Miss Bailey above, if there is information on how to possibly own, and or operate kiosks here where I live? I have never seen nor heard of Redbox, but with this idea, HERE, the opportunities could be absolutely immense!!! Keep on going, and let me know something if you got the scoop. Thanks Much, Miss Shawnee
    P.S. Oh, I live in Michigan. Waaaay too many of us are struggling here, and the way I see it, a dollar movie, New Release, is a sure bet cheaper for family night, than a whole lot of other things I've spent money on.
