Thursday’s Thrifty Tip – How to Rent Movies for FREE!

Some of you may still have movie rental places in town, but if your city is like mine, Redbox and Blockbuster Express Kiosks are about all we’ve got. We do still have a Blockbuster that is open, but it’s not the easiest to get to. Redbox is everywhere!

In case you’re not familiar with these kiosks, they have movie rentals for only $1 per night! This is a great way to go when you’re in the mood for a flick at home. Not only is a buck for a flick a great deal, but they also send out free promotion codes fairly frequently. These codes will give you a free rental for a night. Keep in mind that you will still need to swipe your credit card just in case you return the movie late, but it will be free for one night with promotion codes.

Now I’d like to teach you how to find free movie rental codes. First, I recommend signing up for Redbox emails. They will periodically email you a free code. Most codes have expiration dates. Some are custom codes for only one use, but many can be used once per credit card. Join the Redbox Text Club for one free rental code every month (comes on the first Monday).

You can refer friends to Redbox using a special referral link. Every time a friend reserves a Redbox movie online, using your special link, you will earn a Free Movie Rental. You can find out more HERE.

Rental Codes are sold at discounted prices on Daily Deal Sites like Groupon and Living Social. Very often you can buy 5 codes/rentals for $1 or $2. I will usually let you know when these deals come up.

Lastly, look for free rental codes on specially marked packages. Redbox often teams up with other name brands, to provide you with a free code when you purchase certain foods. These are always changing, but right now you can find them when you purchase select Totino’s Pizza Rolls, Orville Redenbacher Popcorn (2 codes), Pepsi & Frito-Lay at Walgreens, etc.

I haven’t seen quite as many ways to earn free rentals at Blockbuster Express Kiosks, but free codes are ALWAYS out and about for them. I post them fairly often. Just keep checking back to see what new codes are out there.

Today, Thursday, use code THURSDAY at a Redbox to get discounted rental prices. This will get you Blu-Ray rentals for $1 and DVD rentals for $.50.

Below are some ongoing codes that can be used once per credit card unless stated otherwise (please let me know if any of them have expired):

REDBOX (for first time rentals only)
DVDONME
BREAKROOM
DVDATWAG (only valid at Walgreens locations)
