I would like to see new releases earlier than Monday on the website. I rent movies for a large number of people(nursing home). I use Netflix for obscure movies, the local library for older movies and Blockbuster and REDBOX for new releases. I modify my queue for Blockbuster based on what REDBOX is releasing. I see the new releases when I go to a REDBOX location on Saturday but I would like to see them posted on the website. I am sure REDBOX know's the new releases they are going to have a month in advance. REDBOX is great.

Note: The guy complaining about people returning REDBOX movies to his non REDBOX location is wrong for blaming REDBOX. REDBOX cannot be responsible for people's stupidity. Those people will $Pay$ for their mistake.

The reason for very few kids movies I am sure has to do with the fact the Redbox is intended for users over the age of 18. Why the age of 18? I am sure it has to with the fact that far more adults hold credit and debit cards therefore making them more of a target over the kids.

I tried using these new weekend codes only to find they wouldn't go thru. If this will be a new service I'd like to see it working I love the monday codes and was very happy with the wednesday codes so weekends would be great too. Joanieb

you must remember anytime you use the machine even with a promo code there is still a one dollar "hold" placed on your card to verify the funds are avaliable and after returning the movie "on time" it can take as much as 1 to 2 weeks for the hold to clear.

I have the same problem. My son, 2, loves to go to the "movie machine". But he has already seen every movie they have that would be appropriate for him. So he gets to go with me to get the movies but we always have to wait until he is sleeping to watch them.

cheap movies or not it not worth it to keep calling the credit card to dispute charges from redbox when charges made from them (Redbox)- discrepancy all the times from their end.

Redbox always charge me more for what I rented from another state charges. And charge me for a free rental when use use a free promo code once in awhile.

Has anyone noticed that Redbox does not have a lot of kids movies? Does anyone have this problem? I am in Southern Maryland.

Thanks for all the codes you've provided. They're a big help when

Just wanted to say thank you for providing the codes for people - it is a perk in today's economy that I truly appreciate.

I tried the codes in Durham, NC around 8 pm this evening and neither worked, but it was worth a shot.

I would love to see a couple more RedBox kiosks installed in Durham. Right now they are about 25 min apart - north side of town and south side of town.

Neither one of these worked tonight in Stuart Fl. tonight. Oddly enough, BREAKROOM did!

Wow, side-by-side kiosks - that's pretty neat!

I will add to this that if you have a complaint about a touchscreen problem you *MAY* need to complain more than once. There was a 'Box near my home that was out of calibration so the screen indicated that I had touched about 1" to the left of where I actually touched. Really made it tough to enter a zip code! I had to call 4 weeks in a row, but they did finally fix it. Who knows - maybe their local tech was on vacation or the part was on back order. Anyway, my point is - it's an imperfect world so don't give up if you don't get an immediate response.

If the touchscreen is hard to push or the redbox is full on a regular basis email customer service. With the location and a description of the problems. Especially if it happens alot. I have seen a 2nd redbox installed next to the existing one (Maverick Gas Station Roy,Utah) and a much newer responsive touchscreen installed in less than a month's time.

Redbox actually listens to its customers (redboxers)
Long live the redbox!
