Redbox
 
Does anyone use Redbox for movie rentals? I've seen them in a couple locations where I live, but haven't used them yet. Do you have to reserve them online, and then pick them up, or can you just make your selections at the kiosk?

I use them alot.

Yes, you can make reservations online or pick them right there at the Kiosk. (online not available at every location though)


Only thing that sucks about these things is, the line backs up at times if someone wants to spend 5-10 minutes browsing though movies.

They need seperate slots for returning movies and renting movies. It would help speed up the process.

make your selection at the kiosk.

$1 per rental per night.

I like redbox. Never had a problem either with online reservations or finding movies at the kiosk. I take that back ... I had one problem.

I rented a movie and when I attempted to return it, the box was busted. I emailed redbox and they said, "No problem, dude. Just return it when you can and we'll credit you for the additional days." I returned the movie a few days later and they never gave me the credit. So, I emailed them again and they said, "No problem, dude. We charge your card and then we issue the credit. It should show up in a few days." I waited a few days and still no credit so I emailed them again and they said, "No problem, dude. The credit's on the way." Finally, after about a month of no problems, the credit went through. It's the most work I've ever done for five bucks.

I think I've only used Redbox once or twice and that was when it was first introduced.
I'm scared I'll forget and wind up paying $12 for a $1 movie.

How are the selections? Fairly current?
I might look into that tonight.

I like that you can return them at any Redbox location...

Thanks! I think I'll give them a try. We have one at Walgreens and just inside our Walmart. I registered on their website, but I think I'll just select them at the kiosk for now.

One thing thats great about the online reservations is, you can beat the kiosk crowd to the punch. Especially for the HOT new release rentals. Give it a shot.

Use them all the time. I haven't been to a Blockbuster in forever. It's a great deal, though my only complaint is that you can't use coupon codes when you reserve online, but if you want a new release it's still only $1.

Halfcan 07-02-2009 05:08 PM

make sure the disc says returned-those fuggers LOVE to over charge your card

I was (unfortunately) in the grocery store today and noticed that they have a bluebox. Same deal ... a buck a film a day. Stand your ground, gentlemen. We're on the verge of being swamped up to our pixels with boxes of all possible colors.
