Two Thumbs Up for Red Box Movie Rental Kiosk at the Exchange

DALLASMilitary families at approximately 113 military installations in the continental United States can turn the lights down, grab a bag of popcorn and prepare for movie night as the Army & Air Force Exchange Service and Red Box have rolled out a new way to rent the hottest movies and video games.

Some 167 Red Box vending machines, deployed by the Exchange, are now providing military shoppers with affordable and convenient opportunities to rent DVDs, Blu-Ray discs and video games.

Red Box rentals are charged at a daily rate. New releases start at $1.20 for DVDs, $1.50 for Blu-Ray discs, $2 for video games and new releases are added every Tuesday.

Online rentals are available as well. Shoppers select their favorite movies and games at redbox.com and pick them up from the kiosk during the next visit to the Exchange.

Returning movies is made even simpler by allowing customers to return movies and video games to any Red Box kiosk location on or off the installation.

“Movies are a great way to spend time with family or unwind,” said the Exchange’s Senior Enlisted Advisor Chief Master Sgt. Tony Pearson. “This service makes that quality time even better.”
