Pretty good idea, ah?

Like Trevor said, whether or not you post asking for the code, it gets posted anyway. Since they're one time use now, you can have them text you your own code to your cell phone.

It’s the first Monday of the month! Enjoy a free rental! Don’t miss out – the code expires at 12:00am CT tonight!

I was about to post the same thing. Same code, so it is universal.

cardsfan111 · 11-02-09, 01:08 PM

So now we get a univeral code and a personal one-time use code.

Well-
It looks like codes are the only way I'm going to get Redbox rentals. In central PA, they raised the rates to $2 for the first night, $1 for each extra night. This makes me less inclined to take chances on items I wouldn't normally rent. Plus Blockbuster sent my a card for 1.99 rentals until Nov 22 so I don't feel rushed to watch it in one night when I have a whole week thru Blockbuster.

Anybody know how I can sign up for the universal code to be sent to my phone? I got the one time use code and thought I could use it again but it said "promo code already used". I didn't realize there was another code that's a "universal" code. I'm not going to make another trip out there but for the future, I'd like to know how I can get the universal code as well.

Looks like your answer was posted a few posts above.

It won't be sent to your phone, but apparently some codes are posted on twitter. Another course of action would be to monitor/subscribe to this thread since universal codes are often posted here when one becomes available.

My idiot story for the day: I stopped by the Redbox and used the universal code to pick up a couple of DVDs (different CCs), then entered in the one time use code. As the DVD was being dispensed, I was reading all the upcoming releases and reached over to get the DVD and accidentally gave it a slight nudge and the machine sucked it back in. The screen said "something wrong happened during this transaction, your credit card won't be charged" then went back to the start screen. When I tried to use the code again, it said "already used"

Oh well, I still had a couple. I may shoot off an e-mail to them shortly. It seems as if I've heard their customer service is pretty good and maybe they'll send me a replacement code.

Thanks!

Just trying to figure out if there's a way for me to get the code on my phone so I don't have to go home first to check the forums and then go back out.

I posted a link on this page for getting redbox to text out a code.

runner001 · 11-04-09, 05:20 AM

I do get the text for the one time use code, but I was asking about getting the universal code on my phone too.

felcher · 11-19-09, 01:33 PM

How do the text codes work? Thanks again.
