If I could put 0 stars I would. I was charged for a disk that was returned the very next day.
I wrote, I called, I was charged anyway. Very frustrating. I will NEVER use Redbox again.

BS
February 28, 2021

They are THIEVES! I was charged triple then what the renting price was. They send u emails with free promos that don't even exist. I know there scams already. They will send u an email that u will get a free movie for one night. So u go pick a movie put the bs promo they send u. Then the promo u enter they can never find it in the system because its been. So now u picked a movie u really want to watch but u can't because the promo was bull$#*!t. So u have to pull out ur credit card and pay for it. I caught on to ur scam REDBOX! NEVER AGAIN WILL I USE UR BULL$#*!T RED BOX! PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION TO HOW MUCH THEY REALLY CHARGE U! THIEVES

I preface this with it's all my opinion & best of memory: I used to rent 2 to 4 movies a week from Redbox. Now I get the majority from the library or Walmart $3 or $5 bin.
Back when there were several movie box companies & it was a $1 per night (about 2010-2013).
If they messed up, they went ABOVE & beyond to make it right. IN MY OPINION ALL THE FOLLOWING
As they now control probably 95% of the rental market.
If they goofed yor bill & WAY over changed you, it was refunded & free movie movie code.
When they sent you to the wrong box location, give you a choice refund $1 & free movie code. Etc ABOVE & beyond what is called for.
Then
They turned to JUST free movie codes that expired. To avoid giving your money back.
Then became stringy with those.
Then without notice that I remember getting, (probably micro print somewhere)
They changed 1000 points to 1500 to get a movie. I found out when I got hit for 1500 instead of 1000.
Now
They falsely Advertised 5x points any rental, but give you none. I'll save the email.
12/28/18 through 12/31/18. On 12/29/18, twice I clicked the email, both times 0 points. So I deleted it & called.
They apparently don't care & said "ok can I do anything else for you?" They hadn't done anything.
Don't use redbox, I wonder if they're headed towards bankruptcy?

I have rented movies from Redbox for a while. The intermittent issues with discs is troublesome. They also have very poor customer service.

The one thing I dislike is the RE-RELEASE idea. Would be great if when reserving or selecting videos at kiosk client would get alert on any previously rented items.

How does a business that rents movies not have trailers on many of their movies?
This seems crazy to me!

Unfair fees
June 14, 2020

I have been a renting member of RedBox for over 10 years although not as much recently. I am 58 years old, and now ill with cancer, and thought renting a video might lift my spirits. When I went to return one of the 2 videos I rented, I could not find one of them in the car. It either fell out of the car or was taken from the car. So out of over a 100 movies rented from Redbox, and never having failed to return one, I was charged almost $36.
IT DIDN'T MATTER THAT I HAD CALLED THE DAY AFTER I RENTED IT TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION.
I was told that after 17 days of rental fees, I would be charged a final fee (the $36 fee above).
I could buy the video and replace it for about $20. So I am being punished like a small child by being charged $36.
Either way, Redbox put be on hold multiple times, both the day I lost it, and 17 days later when I was charged.
I was told the first time I called that they were hopeful that a compromise could be made in the charge.
The second time I called, like I said, after putting me on hold multiple times, that their system is automated, and nothing could be done. WHY PUT ME ON HOLD WHEN YOU ALREADY KNOW THE OUTCOME... no deal! I feel abused.

Convenient

I wish the boxes were inside, but it's convenient to use them. They usually have the movies I want to see and normally are in good shape.

Thief

We have been using Redbox for years. Most recently, our family rented a movie only to be charged close to $31 three weeks AFTER WE RETURNED the movie. Redbox lost us as a customer!

I have stopped renting so frequently, because a lot of their movies are too dark (lighting) or as with most, the volume is very low
