Redbox Update - Online rentals are a go

Started by Michael · 3 months ago

After a short hiatus (again - sorry), I am back with the Redbox Update. Things have been crazy for me the past few months. Hopefully by the end of October everything will return to normal. Anyway, enough with my boring life…
ONLINE RENTALS NOW AVAILABLE
The new Redbox webs ... Continue reading »

  • I like the idea of renting online. I've used it twice so far. It got a little tiring waiting in line only to find that the movie you stopped for was out of stock. So, thanks to Redbox for saving me lots of time.
  • I thought about using the online service, however, I was unsure if you can use promo codes through the website.
  • Ken,

    It is true that you cannot currently use promo codes with the online rental service. I don't know if this is temporary or permanent, only time will tell.

    In any case, I think we all should use the new system, pay our $1, and show our support for Redbox. They are a truly innovative company that has the potential to change the rental market in the country.

    So, pass the buck ($1 that is) to Redbox and rent a movie online today!

  • Well, it would be nice if it were available to use here in Houston, but it curretnly states that none of the locations are available for online rentals.
  • It's a great idea but I can't use it yet. Their website says all of the boxes within 5 miles of me are temporarily unavailable.
  • Very seldome do any of the promo codes work in my area. (Bountiful, Ut) Why is this?
  • Could someone please explain what the percentage number next to the code means?
  • not getting my redbox codes in email?
  • hey redbox thanks 4 the online rentals. it saves me alot of time, luv it!
  • I was going to use it one day until i realized i couldn't use codes... I probably won't be using it because of this. I guess i could still use it to check what is in stock and hope it is still there by the time i get there.
  • Not available in my area also.
  • I have used the Redbox online rental several times and it is awsome. I like not having to wait in line and getting the movie I want when I want it, and hey its just a dollar better than $3 I would spend at a traditional store. Now if we could just figure out a way for them to deliver them with the pizza, hmmmmm...
  • While the Promo Codes are what this site is all about, we should all remember that Redbox is a company out for profit. If we want Redbox to be successful and continue to be around, we should spread the use of the free codes a little, and occassionally pay our dues.
  • I checked it out last week and had to exit because it took so long to move from page to page. Decided to try it tonight and rented two movies for pick-up. It was a piece of cake. One thing I think that would be great is email alerts when a movie that you want is turned in. Tonight, all of the G and PG movies (for my kids) are out of stock for a 5-mile radius. It would be great to not have to keep going back and checking for these movies. I don't want to make two trips out to pick up movies.
  • I really enjoy Redbox and use it often. The only problem I have with Redbox is many times I just want to return a movie but have to stand in line while 3 or 4 people ahead of me are trying to figure which movie they want to rent. It would be nice to have a seperate place to just return.
  • I hate it because I'm a "drop-in while I'm out" kind of girl. Since the online rental started they never have anything available for people like me to rent.
  • Netflix is better. A dollar a day becomes too much after a while. I would rather pay one fee a month and have them sent to my house than have to go and pick them up and return them.

    If it does work out, then cool, but I don't think I will ever use it.
  • well, netflix is another thing. it has a variety of movies including older ones.

    for redbox, it's all about new releases; plus you KNOW you will get your movie when it is out on Tuesday for pickup after work/school with online rental.
  • Jayne, I think Redbox has just recently addressed your concern by reserving last copy of a title for "walk-in only". I think online renting is pretty cool and I've used it a few times to prevent holding up the line while making a selection...
  • WELL ONLINE RENT IS GOOD BUT PROMO CODES NEEDS TO BE ADDED BUT I NOTICE THAT THE CODES HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING FOR ME OR GOES IN GOOD BUT WHEN I USE MY CREDIT CARD IT SAYS NOT A GOOD CODE :(
  • yeeps
  • I would like to know what happens when you get a movie that is damaged beyond watching, as that is what just happened to me. This is a hazzard I guess and a drawback unlike standing in a line at the local video store!!!!!!!!!!!
  • I would like to have some one call and tell me how i can get red box at my grocery store in torrington wy.

    Thankyou
