Q: Do you sell gift cards?
A: Yes! We sell packages of 5, 10, 20 or 50 promo codes that can be used for 1-day rentals of DVDs, Blu-ray Discs or video games. They're delivered via email or Facebook, and they can be used at any Redbox location in the United States, at redbox.com or on the Redbox mobile app. For more details and to get started, go here.
Q: What should I do if I want to send promo codes to someone, but I don't know his or her email address?
A: No problem! Just select yourself as the recipient, and have the promo codes emailed to you. Then, when you get the email, you can print out the codes and hand them out in person. Use them as stocking stuffers, party favors, raffle prizes whatever you want!
Q: If I buy a package of promo codes, can I break them up and give them out individually?
A: Yes! Just select yourself as the recipient, and have the promo codes emailed to you. Then, when you get the email, you can click on the codes to create separate gifts with each one.
Q: When I buy a Redbox Gift, what exactly will the recipient get?
A: They'll get an email with links to 5, 10, 20 or 50 promo codes (depending on which package you buy), which are each valid for a 1-day rental of a DVD, Blu-ray Disc or video game (depending on the package). They can then print out the promo codes and use them at any Redbox location or they can use them to reserve their rentals at redbox.com or on the Redbox mobile app.
Q: Can the promo codes be used at redbox.com or on the Redbox mobile app, to reserve rentals ahead of time?
A: Yes! They can be used to reserve discs online or on the Redbox mobile app. (Promo codes bought before November 6, 2012, though, can't be used online or on the Redbox mobile app.) Note that you can only use one promo code per transaction, and you'll be charged for any other discs in your cart.

Q: When I use a promo code, how much will I be charged?
A: If you use it to rent the item it was intended for (a DVD, Blu-ray Disc or video game, depending on the package), or one of lesser value, you won't be charged anything for the first rental day. You'll just be charged the regular daily rental rate for any extra days you hold onto the disc. (If you use a promo code to reserve a movie or game and never pick it up, then you won't be charged for extra days.) If you use your code to rent something that has a greater value (for instance, if you use a DVD promo code to rent a Blu-ray Disc or video game), you'll be charged the excess amount.
Q: Do I need a credit card when I use my promo codes?
A: Yes, you'll need to swipe a credit or debit card in order to cover any extra-day charges, or charges for other discs in your cart.
Q: Will the promo codes cover the second rental day?
A: Sorry, no promo codes only cover your first rental day. Your credit or debit card will be charged for any extra days that you hold onto your disc.
Q: If I send promo codes to someone, who gets charged if the movie or game is kept out for extra days?
A: The extra-day charges are the responsibility of whoever rents the discs.
Q: What if the Redbox Gifts email is lost?
A: If you've lost your Redbox Gifts email, please contact Giftango at 1.855.899.0036 so they can send you another one.
Q: Do the promo codes expire?
A: Nope! There's no expiration date.
Q: Can my DVD promo code be used to rent a Blu-ray Disc or a game?
A: Sure! But since the daily rental rate of a DVD is less than the daily rental rate of a Blu-ray Disc or game, your credit or debit card will be charged the extra amount. And remember if you hold onto your disc for more than one day, you'll be charged the regular daily rental rate for each extra day.
Q: Can my Blu-ray promo code be used to rent a game?
A: Sure! But since the daily rental rate of a Blu-ray Disc is less than the daily rental rate of a game, your credit or debit card will be charged the extra amount. And remember if you hold onto your disc for more than one day, you'll be charged the regular daily rental rate for each extra day.
Q: Can my video-game promo code be used to rent a Blu-ray Disc or DVD?
A: Yes! You can use your promo codes to cover the first rental day of any disc of equal or lesser value.
Q: Can my Blu-ray promo code be used to rent a DVD?

Q: If I buy promo codes, what will appear on my credit- or debit-card statement?
A: It'll appear on your statement as "Gift Card Purchase."
Q: Once I buy promo codes, how quickly will they be delivered?
