If you love the thought of being able to rent, stream, watch, and return movies or TV shows from the comfort of your own home (or simply walking to your mailbox to return a movie), you may be interested in signing up for a Netflix Membership.  Currently, NEW members can sign up for a completely FREE 1-month trial of Netflix. The best part about this trial membership is that you can test it out for an entire month with no charges. AND if you sign up and find that you don’t like Netflix, you can cancel the FREE 1-month trial in your account with no penalty and no charge whatsoever!

I personally LOVE Netflix as I feel that there are so many movie choices for our entire family to enjoy. My kids love streaming Netflix on their devices and I really enjoy the fact that I can plan ahead to have a movie date night with my hubby and have it shipped to my door! We just select movies or TV shows online, add them to our queue, wait for them to come in the mail (or even watch Instant Movies via the computer, Playstation 3, Wii console, or other devices for an additional monthly fee), drop them in my mailbox when we’re done, and then wait for the next one(s) in our queue to arrive! It really is that easy! 😀

Fine Print:
Your Netflix membership, including a 1 month free offer, will begin when you click on “Start Membership” during the registration process. Simply cancel anytime during your 1 month free membership, and you will not be charged. To cancel, click on “Your Account” and follow the simple cancellation instructions. No refunds or credits for partial months. You may instantly watch on one device at a time. If you are enjoying Netflix, do nothing and your membership will automatically continue at the monthly subscription rate. This 1 month free offer is available to new and certain former members of the Netflix service and cannot be combined with any other offer.


Another online movie rental service (similar to Netflix) that you may be interested in checking out is Blockbuster Total Access. You can also score a completely FREE 30 day trial for new customers and you can cancel within your first month and not get charged if you cancel within your first 30 days. With Blockbuster Total Access, you will receive unlimited rentals by mail, unlimited in-store exchanges, as well as have access to many new releases (available 28 days before Netflix and Redbox), AND Games and Blu-Rays are included in all plans!

Keep in mind that with Blockbuster Total Access, you will also be able to exchange movies in any Blockbuster store, as well as by mail. Plans start at just $9.99/month for 1 Disc at a time, $14.99 for 2 Discs at a time, or $19.99 for 3 Discs at a time (after your free trial ends) – including game and Blu-Ray rentals! This plan also seems like an awesome deal, especially if you’re a big movie buff like me! However, it appears that you will not be able to stream to your computer or device.

Fine Print:
In-store exchanges and discounted game rentals only valid at participating BLOCKBUSTER stores. Free or discounted trial offer valid for new customers only; cannot be combined with any other offer. For those getting a free or discounted trial, limit one per household. Requires internet access, a valid email address and a valid method of payment for the monthly fee. If you do not cancel your subscription prior to the end of your free or discounted trial period, your subscription automatically renews at the applicable monthly fee for the plan selected (plus taxes) until cancelled. If you cancel your subscription prior to the end of your free or discounted trial period, BLOCKBUSTER By Mail rentals must be returned no later than ten (10) days after the expiration date of your trial to avoid additional charges.

    Awesome. I love Hulu Plus too. I recently switched to them because I got tired of Netflix. I had it for about 2 years and felt like I had watched everything I wanted to.

  7. Carol

    I got my code. Can I go online and reserve a certain movie at a kiosk and my husband pick it up after work or does the whole transaction have to be directly from the kiosk? Does anyone know? I’ve never used Redbox before.

    • Cassie

      You can’t reserve movies with a code 🙁

    • Delia

      You can reserve it online. The clock starts when you reserve it online – not when you pick it from the kiosk.

    • Leah

      yes you can used a code online now it should be when you get to payment information

  8. Yvonne M.

    how to use this free code?
    please some one teach me!

    • Kristen

      Go to the Redbox machine, put the movie that you want in your cart, and when you “checkout” (BEFORE you swipe your credit card), hit the “Promo Code” button and enter the code they send you. You’ll still have to swipe your card (in case you keep it for more than a day), but as long as you return it by the due date tomorrow you won’t be charged anything.

      • Keri

        • Teresita
