Most of you probably already know how to get free Redbox rentals.   For the readers that don’t know all of the ways to get free Redbox rentals I’m sharing my methods to get free rentals in this post.

I rarely rent a movie from Redbox nowadays since I do most of my movie watching on Netflix. However, there are still some times when there is a movie I want to see on Redbox that isn’t available on streaming for Netflix.  On those occasions I use a free Redbox rental to get the movie I want to watch.  The easiest way to get a free Redbox rental is to go to Redbox.com and sign up for their email list and texts.  They usually send a free rental code once a month.  The drawback is that the code is only good for 24 hours, so if you don’t have time to watch a movie that day then the code is wasted.

A better way to get free rentals is to use the free promo codes that they make widely available.  A simple Bing search will give you plenty of different promo codes to try.  A couple of popular promo codes that have been around a while are BREAKROOM and DVDONME.  To use the promo codes pick the movie you want at the kiosk and then click on the promo code button at the bottom of the screen. After you enter the promo code the screen should reflect your new total of $0.00.  If the promo code didn’t work then you can try another code.  These codes are only good once per card.  Since I get new cards fairly often and new promo codes come out every once in a while I have always had a free rental available to me. My job gave me two different prepaid Visa cards as a bonus which means I have two new cards to use promo codes on as well. You can use a prepaid card to rent a Redbox movie as long as long as the card has sufficient funds available.

Using these methods you should be able to get lots of free Redbox rentals.  You don’t need to feel bad for Redbox either; I occasionally don’t get my movie back after one night and have to pay the rental fee for the extra night.  My guess is that enough people do this to make these free codes profitable for Redbox.

As an alternative to Redbox you might be able to get free DVD rentals from your local library.  The library near me has lots of DVDs available at no charge.  The library where I used to live though charged $1 for each DVD rental. Hopefully, you have a library with free DVD rentals and a good selection.  If you watch lots of movies and/or TV shows you should consider getting Netflix. You can watch unlimited TV shows and movies online for just $7.99 a month making your cost per movie/TV show watched extremely low.  Just make sure you don’t spend all your time watching TV.
