Groupon: Redbox Rentals 3 for $1

There is another awesome movie rental deal today on Groupon!  Get three rentals from and Redbox Rental Kiosk for $1.  These are normally $1 each, so you are basically getting them for 33¢ each.  Snag this and enjoy a cheap date night (or two).

You will get three separate codes so you do not have to rent all three at the same time.

Are you doing swagbucks?
You can get 315 swagbucks for doing this deal by first going through your swagbucks account and clicking on Groupon!  To find it, click on “Earn”, then click on “daily deals”.

New to swagbucks? Get 80 swagbucks just for signing up!



  • Pray

    where on the swagbucks page is GROUPON?

    • Abi

      under the “earn” tab look for “daily deals” and click groupon, i had a place to click on the top of the page advertising the redbox deal

    • Momoffaith7

      special offers- trialpay :)

  • http://twitter.com/Rayveniael Rayveniael

    I'm not able to find it either. :(

  • http://twitter.com/Rayveniael Rayveniael

    Must be local. I don't see the National deal just my normal groupon offers for local areas.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_3CULHFNRSK4X36JFSSWHYI2U3I Shawna

    Didn't give methe swagbucks!! ;(

    • http://www.southernsavers.com/ Jenny

      Normally for me it takes 1-2 days to show up so maybe wait a day?

      • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_3CULHFNRSK4X36JFSSWHYI2U3I Shawna

        Thanks Jenny!!

  • Pray

    the deal appears in a bow at the top of your local deals- but- where is the groupon spot on the swagbucks page- or do I just search for groupon?

    • http://www.southernsavers.com/ Jenny

      Go up to the top of your swagbucks page and click on Earn then click on Daily Deals and you should find Groupon listed there.

  • Crissy Hicks

    I cant find this anywhere on Groupon or Swagbucks, what am i missing?

  • Crissy Hicks

    not there for me

  • holly

    I can't find it on Groupon or Swagbucks. What am I doing wrong?

    • Mommy Magg

      check the ticker at the top of your page…there is a link to check out the Redbox offer. You can also select Abeline, TX…that's the city it's showing on groupon.

      • X15er

        Where and what is the ticker?

  • Michelle Cochranwells

    Jenny, is there a special link on the swagbucks page or do you just through the swagbucks shop and earn and find groupon amongst the stores to get the 315?? If I got through shop and earn on swagbucks it just shows the normal 2 bucks for every dollar spent. Thanks in advance!

    • Michelle Cochranwells

      NM, got it!

    • http://www.southernsavers.com/ Jenny

      Once you click on Earn and Daily Deals, click on any Groupon ad there (they are all offering 315 swagbucks) then on Groupon you should see a banner across the top about Redbox. Click through and order your Groupon and you should still see the 315 show up in your account.

      • MK

        Yea!!! Thanks for the help! I was confused too. : )

  • Jes

    I signed up under you, so that you would get SWs from me as a referral. Entered code to get the extra 50 Swagbucks, and got this message repeatedly: Please enter a valid Promotion Code. I also went to “Earn” then “Daily Deals”, and this Groupon offer is not there It shows Groupon deals for a city 4 hours away from me (& none are Redbox). I checked my zip code in my account, and it is correct. Anyone have any ideas? :(

  • X15er

    I went under earn and daily deals and that ad banner at the top of my page is for living social. Anyone else having this problem. The only groupon deals listed before that are local ones?

  • Guest

    Looks like it works for Albilene, TX….but Redboxes are everywhere. Try that ladies….go and just change your city to get this Groupon deal.

  • MommyMagg

    unlike the groupon offered in Dec. 2010 for redbox; I was able to purchse three deals…9 movies for $3! woohhoooo!

  • Melanie

    has anyone received the swagbucks for this?? I did not get mine, but I sent a ticket in, so we will see if they are going to be credited.

  • Critchberry

    Could someone please tell me which city? I get something else for Abilene, TX.

    Thanks!

  • Heather

    Love this!

  • Nanalynne

    followed Jenny's instructions and got mine!!!!! changed the quanity to 3 and for $3 got 9 moview rentals!!!!! Hoping the swag bucks show up tomorrow!!!!

    • MK

      I thought you had to go through the swagbucks site to get the swagbucks credit? In the past it has said you had to b/c Trial play links you to Groupon and then Swags give you the credit. It is my understanding that you don't get the 315 if you don't go through swags site. The only problem now is I don't see the redbox offer on my swagbucks daily deal page???? Anyone know how to find it on the swags site?? Thanks : )

      • MK

        Never mind saw Jenny's post below and it totally answered my question. LOL : )

  • Jennifer

    I've purchased Groupon deals several times through Swagbucks and the 315 swagbucks showed up immediately. I haven't received mine for this Redbox purchase yet, so I wonder if we will get them. Even if not, it's still a good deal. Has anyone gotten their swagbucks from the Redbox purchase yet?

  • Izellejones

    I don't see the groupon offer for redbox?

  • Lisaburcher

    I went to it through SB, but the only banner at top is for Living Social. The Groupons listed are for everything EXCEPT Redbox….. :( Any suggestions?

  • Lauren

    I'n not seeing the offer on SB either. What's up with that?

  • Tiffany

    I can't find it either. The banner at the top is for Living Social. None of the offers listed are for Redbox.

  • Lisaburcher

    Ok, ladies….I found a detailed explanation on another site. Click ANY of the groupon offers that show for you. It will take you to the groupon site (without charging you for the offer you click). At the top of YOUR groupon home page should be a link to a “national” offer for Redbox.

    • Lauren

      I tried it that way, and even though it says the SB points confirm immediately, I haven't gotten mine. Hopefully it'll go through.

    • Chazree

      I tried it that way two nights ago and never recieved points yet.

  • Reedle

    Has anyone received their SB points immediately? I'm afraid I wont get mine!

    • Lauren

      Nope, and I'm not sure it's going to work. The support page for the Daily Deals says the Groupon deals post within 30 minutes, and I did mine an hour ago and nothing has happened yet. I'm going to give it one business day before I contact someone.

  • http://www.facebook.com/jenna.grubbs Jenna Stephenson Grubbs

    also can't find it… :(

    • Jane

      me either

    Groupon is expanding very very fast. Especially in Asia. Their strategy is everything must go fast. When they reach one country here are the steps: 1 Start to contact the media companies and HR companies 2 Give Double salary to recruit the people that already in the Groupon business, for instance IT, sales, etc. 3 The new recruitment is encouraged to bring their team into Groupon, so the team expand very fast. That really hurt some local Groupon companies. 4 Start to see their ads when you take subway, bus, etc. They use this way and get success in Japan, Singapore, and now in China. But I think it’s too early to judge it will success or not, quick expansion will surely bring management problems later. Hope they don’t mess up, they really bring some good opportunities for small business people.
    There are lot of people they have purchased Groupon Clone from http://www.joomabc.com to start their local groupon business with the lowest start-up cost, and already doing well. To get as big as Groupon, that’s dream, but those people they have good connections with local SPAs, restaurants, that brings them the first group of good deal and traffic really fast. It’s not hard to start a groupon business as before. Before, you need to spend thousands to develop a site, now just few hundreds and your sales people can start to get the good deals.
    Looking forward to see groupon and local groupons get really strong!

    Why pay when there always a free code out there? Just use a different credit card each time. Also google or twitter for free codes :)

    • Tiffany

      Actually 315 SB is worth more than what the redbox deal costs and not everyone has more than one credit card…

  • jessica

    groupon will credit your account $10 for each friend you refer that makes a groupon purchase. this is a great one to get friends to make a purchase on, it only costs them a buck and they are getting a nice deal, and you get $10 for each person who buys one!

    • jessica

      me again – just wanted to add a p.s. that you can refer friends right from your email or facebook accounts, so you don't have to spend an hour sending individual invites. nice and quick and easy! good luck :)

  • melanie

    Wanted to let you know that I received my Swagbucks this morning when I logged on. I had sent one of the comment forms showing that i did not receive credit and today it is there. Easiest 315 bucks I ever earned.

    • Reedle

      where did you find the comment form to submit?

      • Chazree

        yeah curious how you got it. I bought them and never recieved the swagbucks for them.

  • Ancpercival

    My offer says Groupon 27 SB

  • CouponDiva39

    I signed up for swagbucks, but cannot find the redbox deal…..any suggestions???

    • Robin Pack

      across the top page of the groupon home page is a little text box that says something about “check out the Redbox deal”.

  • CouponDiva39

    I found it —- THANKS!!!

  • Melody Roberts

    When I go to Swagbucks and click on Earn, Daily Deals I do not have any Groupon deals. How do I get these on Swagbucks.????

  • LB514

    I'm not seeing the Redbox deal on the Swagbucks Daily Deal listing. Maybe it was only valid yesterday?

  • Pndbear2003

    The swagbucks deal is now being offered for 80 swagbucks if you do the redbox groupon deal.

  • Tiffany

    Just got an email back from SB. The 315 SB was never an offer. Oh well, we use redbox all the time, so no big deal.

    • Lainibug

      I definitely clicked through SB to groupon yesterday. While I was on the groupon site there was a trialpay banner at the top the whole time about the deal (don't remember exactly what it said). Swagbucks' site still shows that I “looked at” an offer for “Purchase Today's Groupon” so there WAS a groupon offer. Possible that somehow somewhere it applied to everything except the Redbox deal, maybe? But I feel cheated.

  • CouponDiva39

    apparently the SB didn't apply to the RedBox deal, but it's okay, we will still use the bargain rentals!!!

    • Lainibug

      I'm waiting to hear their reply to me; the trialpay banner at the top of the groupon page said “Purchase ANY Groupon to receive your free reward!” It's there today if you click on a groupon offer.

      This is seriously making me think twice about whether I trust Swagbucks.

  • Lainibug

    After emails and waiting, the SB have been applied to my account.

  • Prsol

    Quick question regarding this offer:
    I got 3 movies for $1 and received my promo codes from Groupon with no problem.
    I used the first of those codes last night and Red Box balance was $0.00.
    HOWEVER, today I was checking my credit card activity and there's a charge for $1.00 for that movie!

    Will the discounts reflect once I rent the three movies?
    Or Groupon just made $1.00 profit and I still have to pay for the 3 movies? :(

    This is the first deal I buy via Groupon, so I'm not sure what to expect. Thanks!
