I HEART RED BOX!

REASON #2 for loving Wednesdays...right now anyhow!
RED BOX FREE MOVIE NIGHT!!!

Alright my friends listen up! Stop what you are doing and read on. I am sorry not to have posted this sooner, but you know I have been busy; and only really remember on Wednesday. First and for most let me answer your question....

What is Red Box?

Red Box is a wonderful new way to rent movies. The movies are ONLY $1.00 per night. It is great plus you can rent them at one site and return to any site. Okay where do I find a Red Box, most locations are at Wal-Mart, McDonald's, but recently our Walgreen's has begun to have the machine too. Now you may be surprised when you walk up...Yes it is a vending machine (go ahead and reread for clarification). You simple push the touch screen and pick the movie you want. Swipe your credit card (I recommend registering on Red Box...that way your email and stuff is programed in), and wait as the vending machine pops out your DVD. How long can you keep it for? You may keep it till 8 pm the following night! If you forget it just charges you a whole DOLLAR more....yep only a DOLLAR a night.

Now for the great part: MARCH MADNESS! The whole month of March on Wednesday they give a promo code on their BLOG for a free rental that night. Now last week it was messed up so they extended it through the 1st week of April. Here is were you go (Red Box blog for codes: http://blog.redbox.com/ ) Today I had to scroll down about 3 post to get the promo code. I am always up for free stuff even if it is an old movie I have seen a billion times, still a fun night right? Sorry I didn't' get the info out early this Wednesday, but now you know where to go. Enjoy the FREE FLICK!

Here are my Pros and Cons to Red Box...as with most things everyone has some!
CONS
  • They tend to get not as many block buster hit movies
  • The machines mess up occasionally
  • The new release sell out FAST

PROS

  • GREAT, AMAZING, WONDERFUL customer service!!!
  • If a machine is messed up they will give you free movies galore, I think we got 2 the time the machine was down
  • ON-LINE RESERVATION---you can go only and reserve the movie, that way you don't have to rush out the second the new release is out. Only problem is the credit card that reserves is the only one you can use to pick it up
  • FIND ONE NEAR YOU- if your Red Box is out you can go on-line and see which Red Box has it...then do the on-line reservation
  • The ease of drop off anywhere-this is so amazing. Chris and I can rent her in Fort Worth, but drop off at his parents in Minnesota. Just check on-line and see if where you are going has a Red Box. Movies for the trip, we do this for our drive to El Campo too....buy here drop of in El Campo!

CHECK IT OUT, I promise you will LOVE IT!!!!
