We don't have cable and only do Netflix. Probably 3 times a month we pick up a redbox movie while grocery shopping.

It's how we watch most movies, but we don't watch movies often. Maybe once every couple of months!

I have used it and like it but we don't use it a lot... Like 2-3 times a year. You sometimes get a redbox coupons / codes which makes it free to rent as long as you return it the next day. My college friend and I would rent like 3-5 free (we each had a code) and have an all nighters watching movies and we would return them the next day. Ah good times.
If we didn't get around to watching them all we would just return them anyways and wait for the next free coupon code. That is how they get you!! You keep the dvd too long or forget to return it. Watch out for that!

Only a few times a year. We have Netflix and Amazon Prime. We also use the PBS and Drama Fever app. It covers most of our watching needs. When I do rent Redbox, I always use a code for a free rental.

I voted yes, but it's definitely not a regular thing. We rented several movies from redbox over Christmas vacation, but I don't think we have rented one since then.

We did in college a bit but prefer just renting from iTunes now.

Not really. To rent is blaspheme to DH. He's a movie lover and will literally buy movies he's never even seen before for the sole purpose of owning them. We own several movies that we don't even like. He has really strong feelings on how he watches his movies. It's both weird and endearing. All to say we don't rent becausse of his quirk lol

We used to but now we use Netflix or Amazon. I liked that Redbox was cheaper and there were multiple ones a short walk from our house but now our movie watching is after also is asleep so it's not convenient to go out.

Regularly, it's how we watch movies these days. Once or twice a week after the kiddos go to bed with a bottle of wine. And a stack of papers to grade for me

I used it alot before having other streaming options and with PPV costs not being so crazy that made it more convenient just to purchase from the TV instead of a trip to a Redbone kiosk.

I would guess we use it 10-15 times a year. We generally use the free codes, but we will pay if we want to see a particular movie. It's sad how infrequently we can actually find the time to watch a whole movie...

I don't have the poll option but, we do use it occasionally. Before #2 we used it a lot more but since we don't have cable or time to go to the movies we would see if Redbox had anything interesting and if so, we'd grab one! They usually have B movies now though. Not too many of the big ones. Otherwise, Google Play, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime are my go-to's.

We used it several times when we moved and before the fios guy came. Haven't used it since then.

Nope, we live in a small town no redbox just the old fashioned movie rental store which we love!!

I have used it once or twice, but if a movie isn't available on Netflix or the like I usually rent it from the public library! They have a really good selection of movies, and are pretty good about getting popular new releases soon-ish after they come out. There isn't usually anything we're dying to see before they can get it.

We do use it, but try to avoid it bc we are AWFUL about returning movies timely and often end up paying more than if we had just rented from iTunes

Nope. We watch a lot of TV, so don't really have time to watch movies, and when we do, we just use Netflix or Amazon Prime.

I think I tried it once with a free rental code. We don't watch a ton of movies... So I'd be willing to pay a little more to just rent it on Fios or something. Otherwise we just borrow from library.
