Redbox: Lots of FREE DVD & Video Game One-Day Rental Codes

Hip2Save may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you via trusted partners and affiliate links in this post. Prices and availability are accurate as of time posted. Read our full disclosure policy here.

If you have unlimited text messaging on your phone, you may want to take advantage of these new Redbox text offers which will score you FREE one-day Video Game Rentals. All you’ll need to do is text the following codes to this number (727272) and you will then receive a text message back with an exclusive one-time use video game rental code (all codes expire 12/31/12)…

TRYGAMES
TRYITOUT
SCREEN
TRYREDBOX

Also, if you don’t have text messaging on your phone and are wanting to watch a movie, you can try each of these codes below to score a FREE one-day DVD rental (some codes may be regional)…

DVDONME
BREAKROOM
DVDONUS
RENTONME
JINGLE

And these codes should work at most Walgreens Redbox locations…

BREAKDOWN
WALGREENS
DVDATWAG

Keep in mind that you usually cannot use promo codes when reserving moves online. Also, if you rent a standard-definition DVD, you won’t be charged for your first night’s rental. However, if you use the promo codes above for a Blu-ray Disc or video game, the promo code will cover $1.20 of your first rental day. And keep in mind that your movies are due back at ANY Redbox location at 9:00 p.m. the day after you rent them. For each additional day you keep them, you’ll be charged for an extra day’s rental plus any applicable tax.

(Thanks,  Free Stuff Times and Laura!)

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Do they all need to be sent in different text messages, or all in one?

    • shan

      i just sent themm all seperate and it worked

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Yes, I too, had to send them separately.

  3. Brittany

    Thanks Collin!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      YW! 🙂

  4. SoxGirl1029

    I’ve never done a text code, but for the non-text codes you can use them more than once as long as you use a different credit card and don’t put your email addresss 🙂

  5. Pumkinhead

    Some orville redenbacher popcorn boxes have 2 free rental codes inside. Look for the specially marked boxes. My codes don’t expire til 09/2013.

  6. Heather

    Do you have to have a credit card to get these free rentals from Redbox?

    • fran

      Yes, Heather, you do. I don’t know if a debit card will work or not. You can try calling them and asking.

      • Ashley57

        A debit card will work if it has a visa or mastercard logo.

        • Heather

          Okay, thanks ladies!

  7. cassie

    Thanks! I love free game rentals because it gives us a chance to play them to see if the kids like them before we buy them!

    breakroom also works at non walgreen locations

    Last time I returned a movie to redbox the machine did not accept it correctly and the next person who used the machine recieved my dvd for free and kept it. I was charged 25$ for the DVD and the redbox customer service said there was nothing they could do about it. BEWARE this could happen to you.

    • Amanda C.

      Make sure that you have your email address linked to your card. They will always send you a return receipt. If you don’t get one, you can always call to make sure it returned correctly. There has been a rare occasion when I haven’t received one and they have always been able to check for me for peace of mind.

    • Amie

      I’d call back and be sure that was indeed the case because I had been charged once and I called them up , it turned out their system didn’t record that it was back in the red box and they did refund me.

    • Kay

      OMG same thing happened to me recently, only it was for a Blu-Ray and they charged me $35 with tax!!!!! I had to argue for over an hour to get them to refund me, and they were SO rude about it.

  10. Kimberly

    For the movie rental DVD codes, do we text those to the number or use them at the kiosk?

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You just need to enter the movie rental codes at the kiosk.

  11. alma

    2 weeks ago I sent two text JUSTDANCE and RENT to 727272 and I got two free game rental codes. It might work if you try.

    • shan

      me too! those dont expire for awhile either!

  12. Kelli

    Just tried to use some most of those codes and said they were invalid!!

    • Cheryl

      Kelli – I was hoping someone would try them! I always follow the free codes on Inside Redbox and a lot of those on the list above I haven’t seen before. The ones I know work for sure on movies are: DVDONME, BREAKROOM and DVDATWAG (this one is valid only at Walgreens). You can use each once per credit card and only one promo code per transaction.

  13. Amani

    Thanks so much Collin! And Alma the JustDance code worked again for me.

  14. Kristin

    I’ve been trying to text them ur free DVD codes but in response I get….

    Redbox: We have received your message, but we’re not sure what you’re trying to do; please reply with a valid keyword. Txt STOP to end. Txt HELP for help.

    • sharon

      me too…

    • Denise

      The DVD codes are ones you enter at the actual Redbox kiosk. The only ones you text are the first ones on the list for free game rentals! :0)

  15. Mayra

    Thanks so much!!

  16. Keri

    I contacted redbox and they said ALL of the game codes are invalid and sorry for the confusion also dvdonus is invalid

    • Kelli

      I just texted 727272 all of the game codes & received a real game code back for each one. How would they be invalid?

    • Jake

      They all work fine. Did you text them to 727272?

  17. lore

    I did too! Got rental codes back to all of them

  18. Jamie K

    Thank you so much – all of the text codes worked for me!

  19. chantal cooper

    all the game codes worked for me.. thanks bunches!!

  20. Laura

    I have a code for a Free Redbox DVD rental that I won from playing the McDonalds game that I am not going to use. The first person who emails me at lauraredmond@live.com can have it. It expires in 2 days on 11/7/2012.

  21. michelle
