We use the app to reserve, and I love that you can return to any redbox. For example, we will pick up from the one closest to our house and then return at the grocery store the next day when we go to do our shopping. Super convenient and cheap. Even if you forget for 3 days it's still cheaper than if you rented something on demand, I think movies are like 5.99 on our directv.

It's fine for us. bpcmarj on "Do you use Redbox?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-redbox#post-1529888 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 13:35:43 +0000 bpcmarj 1529888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @kiddosc: So glad I am not the only one!!! I got to that point, too where I said I am already 15 dollars in...might as well go the whole way! kiddosc on "Do you use Redbox?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-redbox#post-1529879 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 13:33:11 +0000 kiddosc 1529879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @bpcmarj: LOL, I own "Star trek" and " Angels and Demons"... forgot to return them before we went on vacation and by the time we got back I'd already paid for them over halfway. shinymama on "Do you use Redbox?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-redbox#post-1529774 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 12:59:20 +0000 shinymama 1529774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Rarely, but we're not big movie people. deactivated_account on "Do you use Redbox?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-redbox#post-1529590 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 12:03:42 +0000 deactivated_account 1529590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I used to before we got apple TV. whenoceansrise on "Do you use Redbox?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-redbox#post-1529243 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 10:40:49 +0000 whenoceansrise 1529243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ love redbox! birdofafeather on "Do you use Redbox?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-redbox#post-1529238 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 10:39:26 +0000 birdofafeather 1529238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We use it all the time but we have two really close to us. We rent whatever we want to watch for that night and return it the next day. We're cheap. And there are usually a bunch of free codes and you can use one for each credit card. So we rarely actually pay! fussygal on "Do you use Redbox?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-redbox#post-1529192 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 10:30:31 +0000 fussygal 1529192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @locavore_mama: We use it all the time and love it. We're actually canceling the mail portion of Netflix b/c we use Redbox way more often. You can also download their app to reserve Ahead of time. Very helpful if you're out and about when the mood for a movie strikes!

Total charges = $7.50. We were charged 3 days for AH, 2 days for EP, and DBC was free with a promo code (need to return today!) regberadaisy on "Do you use Redbox?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-redbox#post-1528669 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:29:46 +0000 regberadaisy 1528669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @LuLu Mom: how far ahead do you usually reserve? I think my cable provider is offering a month of free ON demand through RedBox. LuLu Mom on "Do you use Redbox?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-redbox#post-1528665 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:28:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 1528665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, we use it often with newer releases. I reserve online and pick up at our local so I know they have the movie we want! Going to go ahead and do it for tonight ;) NOt to thread jack but anyone use the Redbox ON Demand? I think it's like Netflix but wasn't sure how it worked? regberadaisy on "Do you use Redbox?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-redbox#post-1528664 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:28:41 +0000 regberadaisy 1528664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @owlmom: @kiddosc: oh, that's brilliant! Thanks! :) @LMOG47: that's not bad at all! We have a local video store we use sometimes and their rental is super cheap but they get you with late fees! @mrsjyw: that's our problem too with returning them! But DH likes to watch movies and like @bpcmarj: said it's so much cheaper than on demand! But on demand is oh so convenient. :) yin on "Do you use Redbox?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-redbox#post-1528645 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:25:20 +0000 yin 1528645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Love it and use it often when I want to watch a movie not available on Netflix. I use free coupon codes all the time and have only had to pay a few times. The code DVDONME works like a charm. mrsjyw on "Do you use Redbox?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-redbox#post-1528635 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:22:49 +0000 mrsjyw 1528635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ just started using it this wk. it's a pita to get to returning it within 24 hours, but their selection is great bpcmarj on "Do you use Redbox?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-redbox#post-1528593 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:14:00 +0000 bpcmarj 1528593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We don't have a dvd player right now but when we did we used it all the time. It's $5.99 to rent on demand or $1 through redbox which is at thr grocery store, so I just buy snacks for movie night while there. autumnlove on "Do you use Redbox?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-redbox#post-1528584 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:10:43 +0000 autumnlove 1528584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've only used it once when I was visiting a friend.

We have rented two this week - it's super easy to find promo codes too, which is a plus. We rarely pay for a movie. We have had some trouble this week finding Dallas Buyers Club, but as a result we have watched Gravity and American Hustle (both were great!). In Redbox's defense though, our "trouble" was that it wasn't at our usual Redbox. kiddosc on "Do you use Redbox?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-redbox#post-1528568 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:04:05 +0000 kiddosc 1528568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I love it. You can go on their website and reserve a movie at a particular kiosk so that you know it will be there when you get there.

You can check availabity of the movie you want on their website - it lets you know which redboxes in your area currently have the movie in the machine.

I believe it's 1.20 or so a day. Pretty sure the movie needs to be returned by the next day before 9pm. If you keep it longer, it's another 1.20 a day. regberadaisy on "Do you use Redbox?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-redbox#post-1528518 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 07:40:43 +0000 regberadaisy 1528518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm thinking about trying out Redbox. My cable provider is providing one month free of rentals and I always see coupons for free rentals. If you've used it what has your experience been with new movie availability? How long do you get to rent the movies out for? What's the late charge penalty? Thanks!
