The Red Box
By 3Robins onOur local McDonald's has just installed a "Red Box" dvd rental station.The "box" has a multitude of new movie rentals to choose from.My family and I do not eat at McDonald's often, however, we have become a regular visitors because of the movie rental station.In my opinion, this idea will revolutionize the dvd rental industry!
You pay $1 per day for the dvd of choice with a debit or credit card (sorry, no other option) and may keep the movie for as long as you like.Your credit or debit card will be charged $1 for each day that you keep the movie until you return it. After a month, they will no longer charge your card and the dvd is yours to keep. ( I have never kept a movie that long, but my cousin has once or twice).The best feature is that you can return the dvd to any Red Box location, anywhere.That is a great feature for everyone who has a dvd player in the vehicle.
For my family, we love to rent movies, but our local movie rental store charges $3 for a new release and the movie MUST be returned before 6pm on the third night.If it is returned any later (say at 6:30), they tack on an extra $1.50 for each day late.As you might be able to read between the lines, this happens to us more often than I would like to admit.
Red Box is a convenient and inexpensive way to rent a great movie.
Oh my goodness-McDonald's is becoming a one stop shop! I don't think we have the Red Boxes here (& we go to McDonald's often!). It does sound like it would be pretty convenient & the price is great!
Its really nice to know we can get that here..)
I Have Never Head Of This Before. Yet, It Sounds Great! Thanks For Sharing!
I've never used these, as I am reluctant to use my credit card there. I do see a lot of other people using this service tho, so it must be a pretty good service. Thanks for the helpful info!
I have never seen or heard of this before, thanks for sharing this information.
We have Red Boxes in our Harris Teeters here...I don't shop Harris Teeter regularly but I will pick up a few things when I go in for that $1 movie :0)
Fantastic idea, and yes, at the regular movie rental stores, we're just about always late also! They get you one way or another! LOL!
Its so funny that I read about this now because before last week I had no idea this existed!! My husband saw it in walmart and surprised me with some movies the night before mothers day. Then I just had to see what he was talking about. This is the coolest thing EVER! I couldn't believe it was so easy and just $1! Plus we have already received free rental codes to my husbands email. I LOVE IT!
I've seen Red Box at Walmart - sounds like I should give it a try!
I love the red box at McDonald's. The movies are so much cheaper to rent there than at the video stores. Our video store is 5 nights for 4.95 and then if it's late, you get charged another 4.95.
