What We Like

A great place to find free Redbox codes if you're already a social media user.
Works over and over, even if you're not a new Redbox customer.

What We Don't Like

You have to be a social media user to stay on top of any updates.
Other, irrelevant social media posts are shown, too, in addition to any Redbox codes.

Redbox gives out a ton of Facebook freebies. On the Redbox Facebook page, they frequently give out free codes for a night's rental. To get your free Redbox Facebook codes, become a fan of Redbox and watch your news feed. Occasionally you'll see a wall update from Redbox announcing a free Redbox code.

Redbox also has a @redbox Twitter account that's another good place to monitor for any brand new Redbox deals and promo codes. If you enable mobile push alerts, you'll be among the first to catch any Redbox codes, should they announce them there.

One last thing you can follow is the Redbox Instagram account. Watch it for contests and other perks that non-followers might be missing out on.

Be sure to keep a careful eye out for them on signs, receipts, and flyers you see at these places.
