    How does this work? I sent a message to 727272, but got an error reply.

    • Linda Meyer Stevens

      text the word Pandora to that number and they will text you back with code to use

    • mary

      yes, i got a reply that redbox doesn’t understand my message!

  5. Kristi

    Is this legitimate?

    I hate to give out my cell phone # to them. I don’t want to get spam or random text messages from them. :/

    • Craig

      exactly! And how does it work? Do you put in the heading PANDORA? and use this # as the phone #??

      • Linda Meyer Stevens

        put in message box

    • Sarah

      Redbox doesn’t send spam- they only send you what you sign up for. You can text STOP to cancel anytime.

  6. Em

    You text Pandora in the message and the phone number is the 727272.

    In other words: pretend your texting “hello” to your Mom. Instead of Mom you text 727272 and instead of hello you type Pandora.

    Yes, this is legit. I’ve gotten a million free codes from this type of thing. You can text STOP to 727272 and you won’t get any more messages from them.

    • sarah

      Strange…I can text my mom, but I can’t text this number. Just get an error message.

      • Em

        Are you typing it exactly like this “Pandora” minus the quotes? I don’t know what to tell you, it just worked for me and I’ve never got an error message unless I mistyped

      • Dawn

        I have a Free Text app that won’t allow me to text to these numbers, but I can do it without any problem on my regular text.

  7. Christine

    Does anyone know of a way to get these text offers in my situation- I don’t have “real” texting, just a texting app called textnow, and it won’t send messages to the “short” numbers like this so I can’t even get any of these offers. So frustrating! And I don’t really like asking my friends who have texting if they will be generous and do it for me because then they can’t have it for themselves since it always seems to be a single use code that you can only get once. Any ideas?

  8. SLS

    Thank you! Got it!

  9. Suzana

    if i have unlimited texting with my phone company will there still be an extra cost to send this text?

    • Em

      No

  10. Jennifer C

    Thanks, Collin! I appreciate these free codes, as we rent from Redbox all of the time 🙂

  11. Lindsay

    I love the deals where I don’t have to worry about being near a printer 🙂 thanks Collin

  12. mirielle

    i have the same question as Suzana, will there be any extra cost everytime I receivea atext from them?

    • LuvSaving

      There is no extra fee if you have unlimited text service or if you dont go over your pre-determined text package. Hope that helps to answer your question

  13. LuvSaving

    • LuvSaving

      Sorry code has been given away but if i get anymore i’ll be sure to pass it on. Habe a lovely day.

    • pam

      Thanks for any code you can give me. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

  14. Michelle

    Do you need to put in your credit card info at the redbox kiosk even if you have a free code?

    • M. Leeper

      Yes, you still need to…

    • fran

      Yes, just in case you keep it longer than the one day. If you forget to return it the next day, you will be charged for each additional day.

  15. Ashley

    Yes you do have to enter a credit card/debit card no matter what. They do that because the rental is only for one day and if you don’t return it after one day they charge your card $1 a day until you return the movie.

    • fran

      Oops, should have read down further 😉
      Actually, isn’t it a $1.20 or $1.25 a day?

      • Sarah

        Yes, $1.25 a day. 🙂

  16. Maria

    Thanks. My DH was just asking me to rent a movie

  17. Misty

    Thank you so very much. We just got a redbox around the corner. Love it!

  18. tracy

    would this expire on the 8th or you can still use the code on the 8th?

    • Dawn

      I’m pretty sure you can still use it up till the 8th at end of day

  19. Heather

    Thanks!

  20. Reese

    I just used the code and it gave me a $2 credit. Paid $0.43 to rent 2 movies 🙂 Thanks!

  25. Jerri

    I just tried it and got “Sorry, this service is not responding at this time. Please try again later. Maybe all the codes have been given out??

    • Jenny

      Call redbox at 866-733-2693 customer service and tell them about your error message. They are so nice and the same thing happened to me, I called and they gave me 2 free codes!

  26. delicia29

    Just got a code, thanks! Will give hubby and I something to watch while we wrap all the presents tonight.

  27. kimberly sh

    my code is for a game rental

    • Melissa

      Mine too! Oh we’ll, maybe ill grab one for the kids tonight…

  28. Sara

    My code is for a game rental as well!

  29. Melissa

    I have a free game rental anyone want to trade for a movie rental? No gamers in my house.

      • Carter

        cwhale11@yahoo (dot) com …my other comment is awaiting moderation for typing my whole email lol. thank you!!

  30. Kelly Grant

    Rented 2 movies, put in the promo code and it took $2 (!!!) off.

  31. Kristin

    My code is for a game rental as well. We don’t even own a gaming system! 🙁

  32. Crystal

    Im wondering if people are entering their code even for the movie instead of a game rental hence why they are getting a $2 credit…cause I thought the games were more $. Sending the hubby out in a few to try it also, because I got game code and we have not game systems to play games on.

    • Crystal

      I will come back an let you guys know.

      • Crystal

        Well we got texted a code that said for free game rental hubby went an rented 2 movies an paid $.42 (tax and each movie was $1.20 each). Hope this helped!

  33. Hope

    My text says for a free MOVIE rental, yet when I tried to rent a movie the screen said my code was for a game. I did a live chat with redbox online and told them my problem, the person apologized and was nice enough to send me two free MOVIE codes instead.

    • SherB

      I just contacted live chat and they told me that the codes were intended for games only and that I was out of luck as this was an error and since the movie codes they issued are still valid they cannot give out any “compensation” (movie rental codes) or change them to movie codes. Deceptive advertising if you aks me.

  34. cc

    Tried code today, redbox display indicated vcode was for game only.

    • M

      mine too on the text message its for a GAME not movie.

  35. kik

    I text they said it was over.
