RedBox

RedBox video rentals seem to be finding more and more locations with businesses. In Logan several are 10 locations between Smithfield and Hyrum. Usually these are at places where you'd normally be stopping anyway. Grocery stores like Lee's, Macey's, and Smith's as well as fast food places like McDonalds all have a RedBox video machine in their store.

The deal isn't that they have a machine, and it's certainly not that rentals are a dollar a night. After all Netflix will let you rent movies for close to $5 a month. The good deal comes from the fact that RedBox releases several promotional codes for free movies. Input your email address here and RedBox will send you a code for a free movie. There are other holiday specials usually available, and sharing information with friends about codes that work can lead to several free movies.

Part of the rental process includes swiping a credit card. This is a matter of security for RedBox; in case you keep the movie they can charge your card. Each code is good once with each credit card. We have a credit card logo on one of our debit cards. This means that we could use the same code such as "DVDONME" once with our credit card, and a second time with our debit card.

The free rental is only good for one night--so be sure to return it within 24 hours of you picking it up.

You can also search on google for sites that may have legitimate or illegitimate codes. If you do so, it's at your own risk.
