Promotions for free movies
Occasionally RedBox will run promotions for free movies and free video games. In the past, they had a promotion for two free DVD or Blu-ray video games in the form of promotional codes that people had to text, and although the promotion said video games only, the codes actually worked for movie rentals too.
These offers will be advertised on their website and/or social media page, so do make sure you check back with them regularly to grab these deals before they’re gone.
As low as $4.99
RedBox calls these ‘For Keep on the Cheap’ and they include both movies and games in the selection. They are pre-rented and you can buy them to keep at prices starting from as low as $4.99. The selection is not available everywhere and may vary in price and items by location.
