Fun and Frugal

Well, I messed up by posting outdated info on my Red Box post yesterday.  Oops!  I do apologize and want to thank Devon, Mead, Charissa, and Tavita for emailing to let me know Red Box quit offering the free Monday codes by email recently.  I’m glad to know my informed readers are paying attention to my posts.    Here’s what I now understand: Red box is fading out the free Monday codes and is only sending out one the first Monday of the month for June, July, and August and that’s all we know.  The company may end the free Monday codes, or extend them, or come out with a new promotion.  Here is an excerpt of an article I found here, which refers to free Monday codes via text message and not by email, but I’m assuming it would be both methods, but not for sure:

“Our free rental code promotions are a great tool to raise awareness and trial of redbox and to encourage consumers to experience the convenience of our DVD rental kiosks,” said Mitch Lowe, president, redbox. “Due to the positive feedback the promotion has received from our consumers and the press, we are going to extend the promotion through the summer.”

Consumers can opt-in to receive information on redbox promotions by registering at www.redbox.com.

Redbox is available at more than 15,000 locations nationwide, including select McDonald’s® restaurants, leading grocery and convenience stores, and Walmart and Walgreens stores in select markets. The company has served millions of customers and has rented more than 380 million DVDs to date.

Each fully automated redbox kiosk holds approximately 700 DVDs, representing up to 200 of the newest movie releases. Consumers simply use a touch screen to select their favorite movies, swipe a valid credit or debit card and go. Customers can keep the DVD for as long as they’d like for $1 per night plus tax, and return it to any one of redbox’s more than 15,000 locations nationwide. After 25 nights, rental charges cease and the DVD is the customer’s to keep.

For added convenience, consumers also can visit www.redbox.com to choose their DVD online and pick it up immediately at the redbox location of their choice.

Looks like InsideRedbox.com is a great resource for info on Red Box codes worth checking out.  Thanks, Charissa.  Please visit Redbox.com to sign up for the Red Box email list or request text message notifications.
