Sharing is caring!

Everyone always looks forward to Friday’s. It’s the end of the work week, and the unofficial start to the weekend. Let’s face it… you get to work on Friday morning, and all you can think about is 5pm.

Thursdays need love too!

With more than 1,350 automated kiosks across all 10 provinces, Redbox is Canada’s largest DVD “rentailer”. Throughout the month of October, Redbox is offering customers a free one-night DVD rental each Thursday at all Redbox kiosks across Canada.

“What’s better than getting a quality movie when you want it, where you want it, all for free?” said Kate Brennan, Senior Communications Manager at Redbox. “We’re inviting our customers in Canada to get a headstart on the weekend by picking up a free one night movie rental at Redbox. Whether you’re a returning customer, or new to Redbox, we hope you’ll enjoy a movie on us!”

No Membership

One of the things I disliked about renting movies from old video stores was remembering my membership card. With Red Box, there is no membership. No card to misplace.

How do I receive my free movie from Redbox?

To receive your free one night DVD rental on Thursdays in October (Oct. 9, 16, 23 or 30), just visit a Redbox kiosk, enter promo code THURSDAY at checkout, and swipe a valid credit card to cover any additional nights you hold onto the DVD. If you return your DVD by 9 pm local time the following day, there won’t be a charge.

Great selection!

Redbox offers a variety of unedited genres in both DVD and Blu-ray Disc formats. New movies are added to Redbox on Tuesdays. Each Redbox is stocked with anywhere from one to a couple dozen copies of each movie.

Renting from Redbox is so easy!

We have a Redbox in our local convenience store, just a few minutes from home. Whenever we want to watch a movie we don’t currently own, we head over and pick one up. We have never yet been disappointed with selection or availability, but if you want to reserve a movie, you can do that in advance.

Free One Night Movie reserve online

Earlier this week, the girls wanted to watch a movie, so we headed over to 7-11, where our local Redbox is located.

01 Free One Night Movie red box looking

Once the girls figured out what movie they wanted to rent, I let them do the process, to show how easy it is to rent from Redbox.

02 Free One Night Movie four easy steps

They found the movie they wanted to rent…

03 Free One Night Movie making selection

They added it to the cart…

04 Free One Night Movie add movie

Then they entered in my email address, where a receipt will be emailed. Redbox thinks green! Note: this step is optional.

05 Free One Night Movie enter email

Once the email is entered, I stepped in to pay. Once paid for, the movie pops out of the right hand side…

06 Free One Night Movie receive movie

And the girls are happy! And you know what happy daughters mean, right? Happy Daddy!

07 Free One Night Movie happy daddy

Returning the movie is just as easy!

You can return your movie selection to any Redbox location. It doesn’t have to be the one you rented from.

08 Free One Night Movie returning movie

A screen prompting you to insert disc comes up…

09 Free One Night Movie insert disc

Insert disc with the white arrow facing the Redbox…

10 Free One Night Movie inserting disc into redbox

Voila! You are done. As long as you return the movie on time, you are good to go. If there are additional charges for additional days, it will prompt you to pay those upon return.

11 Free One Night Movie thanks
