Choosing between RedBox and Netflix is a personal preference, however if you’d like to save a few extra bucks for movies at home, RedBox is a good starting point. They’re a convenient movie rental service that operates via vending machines and credit cards for payment.
It’s really easy to rent a movie with RedBox when you’re out and about as they are available in many convenient locations, such as malls and Walmart stores. Here is how you can spend less when renting from RedBox to enjoy movies at home.

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.

RedBox perks

RedBox loyalty program comes with three different levels and the highest you reach, the bigger the benefits. As a welcome gift, you receive free 1-night DVD rental, additional promos for special savings, and a guaranteed free 1-night DVD rental in your birthday month.

The program rewards customers with bonus points for extra activities, such as using the RedBox mobile app – 150 points, linking a credit card – 150 points, completing every section of the profile – 200 points, and Setup Box sign in – 250 points.
