Free Movies And Games From Redbox

Movies, games, books and toys are necessary tools when traveling with kids. Some people even say that movies are essential to surviving a long trip with little kiddies. You can find a decent selection of movies from your local library, download backup movies from your virtual friend’s for safe keeping, buy from Amazon or rent through one of my favorite places – Redbox.

The cost to rent movies and games via Redbox isn’t huge (even more now that Envaulted has disappeared), but it’s fun to save money using their Refer A Friend Program. Get out your referral network list and have each person sign up with your link.

RedBox
First a little background on Redbox. They offer more than 1.5 billion disc containing the latest movies and games. A nice benefit with renting from Redbox is the flexibility to rent and return at any one of their 29,000 locations. You can rent a movie in Madison, Wisconsin and return it in Honolulu, Hawaii. If you need a movie for the return flight, simply reserve a movie or game via online, iPhone or Android, then pick it up before your flight departs and return it in your hometown.

Redbox Refer A Friend Program

Last year Redbox began a refer a friend program to get free movie rentals when a fiend (referee) signs up for Redbox and rents a movie using your referral link. And I’m not aware of Redbox quietly yanking referral credits from accounts *cough*Jetsetter*cough*.

1. Go your Redbox account. (If you don’t have an account, consider my referral link.)
2. Register for the refer a friend program to get your personal referral link.
3. Send the link to your referral network, they will need to click on your personal link and complete an online reservation for a DVD, Blue-Ray Disc, video game, movies, etc.
