Free DVD rentals

(This only really applies to people in the front range people.)

Have you seen those automated DVD rental systems that have a some McDonalds now?  (store locations)  They're actually pretty cool.  You navigate a touch screen to select a movie, swipe your credit card, and it spits out a DVD.  To return it, you put it back in the DVD case and insert it into the machine.  It's only $1 (plus tax) for a one day rental.  I tried it out last night, and rented Sideways.

Thanks to dirtpupfc (and christinelh for forwarding me his email), you can get some free rentals for a little while.  Before you "checkout", there's a button that you can hit for a promo code.  Enter "greine", and you'll get the movie for free.  You'll still have to swipe your credit card, but it won't charge you anything (probably just harvest your information to send you piles of junk mail.) The promo ends May 11th.  (See this promo information for more details.)  You're supposed to only get 1 free rental per person, but maybe you can get more free renatals if you swipe other credit cards.

Here's some more codes to use too:

  1. I believe the Dyers have used these before...I haven't yet. So you have to return them? The Dyers used one that somehow self-destructs-makes-itself-unusable 48 hours or something after you open it. It seems that the 'not having to return it' is a major reason to use one of these.

  2. I saw these things everywhere in France. Soooo cool, and I kept wondering why they didn't do it here. Then I got Netflix. :D

  3. I'm not a big fan of something that turns into an AOL cd 48 hours after being opened.
