Last week, I tried to return "Semi-Pro" to the closest Redbox. Well after two attempts on the same day I called Redbox. This was Wednesday. They told me that the machine was down and would hopefully be fixed by Friday. I was hoping I didn't have to go into the fact that I would now have to drive out of my way to return the DVD. I didn't she automatically extended my DVD for an additional 48 hours. She said I would be charged for two nights but would then receive the credit. Well I got the email this morning. Talk about now hassle!!! I love Redbox!If you don't know about http://www.insideredbox.com. You should really check them out. Sign up for the email and every Monday you will get a rental code for a free movie on Monday. They have been sending them out for Wednesday also. I think this might be a summer promotion. Also, you can find more free codes at the site.
I have a friend who always buys her kids DVD's for Christmas. Her boys will watch the same movie over and over. My girls don't do that. But anyhow I gave her the idea to buy the DVD's at Redbox for only $7.00, put them in a CD case and print out the movie artwork. Woo hoo. A DVD for half the price. They won't care that it is a used DVD.

That is great that you did not have an issue with being charged for something that was really out of your control. I did not realize that you could buy them out of the Red Box for $7. I will have to go to the site and look around. I like to rent movies from Red Box.

Not all Redbox sell movies, I have noticed that the Redboxs that are in McDonalds seem to be the ones that sell the used DVD's.
