For more than a year now Elizabeth and I have "played the system" regarding Redbox movie rentals. Each Monday Redbox would send out a free rental code. What we found out was that Redbox tracks the use of the code by the credit card you scan, so if you have more than one credit card you can use the code for each card. That means that on any given Monday night we would have up to four Redbox movies to watch (which aren't due until the next night at 9 pm, so we could watch some on Tuesday too, if we had the time).
Unfortunately, Redbox must have come to its senses (I wonder how many people only ever used the free rentals and never paid for one, like us) because they have discontinued the free movie Mondays and have replaced them with a free rental code only on the first Monday of each month. So we watched one movie last night and have three more at home that we'll try to fit in before 9 o'clock tonight!
That's my whole story.
yeah, we played the system, never paid for a redbox, and are probably part of the reason they stopped the freebies. Sorry.
