Hacking Redbox – How To Get Free DVDs

Red Box, Video Rental Automat, found in a Wal-...

I was at Wally-World the other day getting a movie from RedBox with my wife when I noticed some guy enter in a code into the machine.  The code was BREAKROOM.  After watching him for a moment, I realized this code entitled him a free DVD rental.

Now, RedBox is pretty stinking cheap ($1.50/night), but if you’re an avid movie watcher, this really adds up.

So, I did some searching on the Google machine and sure enough, there are new RedBox codes that go into circulation every day.  Each one giving you a free DVD.

The site that offers the RedBox codes is http://www.insideredbox.com/redbox-codes/

Users submit the codes and update the site with the last time they were used.  That way, you always know which codes are currently working.

You simply need to enter the coupon code from the main screen or just before checkout at your local Redbox kiosk. When you do, you will receive a one-day free rental. Any additional days you keep the movie will be charged at the usual $1.50/day.

Update: @diemer on Twitter pointed out to me that inside Redbox also has an iPhone app.  The link for the app is http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/inside-redbox-pro/id306217360?mt=8

I may actually cancel my Netflix account now…

    I say Boycott the Evil RedBox! You say $1.50 is cheap. But Albuquerque is a Test Market. Red Boxes Around the country are still at $1.00. I say stick with NetFlix.

    If we hold strong for a while they should lower their prices.

    Also Try the code: dvdonme .

    Not that I condone Redbox, but hey a free DVD is cool.

    That’s interesting. I had no idea that ABQ was a test market. Why do you say that they are evil? They are cheap and easy to use (plus anything is good to further put Blockbuster out of business)

    RedBox is not a good thing where I live in Wisconsin. Who wants to stand outside in the dead of winter when it’s below 0 trying to figure out what movies to get??? If they would move them all inside, they would probably get more business. I’ll stick with NetFlix and Family Video!!

    @Heather Good call. That sounds terrible. Fortunately for ABQ, I have yet to see a RedBox that is outside. Seems like that’s a big FAIL in Wisconsin.

    Well I also came across some site quoting $0.99 per DVD rent. I think its $1 plus tax. You can check out this Redbox codes site for more info.
