i got an email that says.

Now to the good stuff. To redeem your one night's free rental, please enter the following promo code at any redbox.

BREAKROOM

I haven't tried the code yet but it might work without signing up for the newsletter.

To check for REDBOX locations:

It's only a buck a night anyways.. so this might not be a hot deal.

Just found it interesting

the free codes

i hate to be the one asking but how are these codes used?

Thanks OP - green for you!

kringan said:these codes are one time use per credit card .. once you use one free code with one credit card, you cant reuse it again with the same card

But who really just has one credit card. Not us FW'ers
Thanks OP

In my case, I used 2 different cards on same day and they later billed me for the second one used..... so be careful....

I did the same thing the next day and again, charged for the other one.... hence I got 4 rentals for $2 (not bad).

So do I need to register an account before using the machine? Do I need one account per cc?

Can anyone help with these pretty basic questions?

Edit: Lots of people on redbox forum talking about using the codes and getting charged anyways....

1)Go to machine
2)Pick movie
3)Swipe card
4)Take movie
5)Watch movie
6)Return movie

At some point during the rental process, it asks for an email address. They will send your rental receipts here. There's really no "account", other than a credit/debit card and the email address associated with it.

Cool, thanks.

Okay, but can you use a different code with the same credit card?

Ex. I already used one of the codes that was emailed to me by Redbox. Can I use another code that they sent me earlier (or one that I find on the insideredbox site) with my same CC or should I use a different CC and email address to be safe??
