Redbox: A red machine that dispenses dvds for $1 upfront, more later. There are thousands of complaints about these machines where the company keeps charging credit cards for purchases. It hasn’t happened to me because I hit them first.

Can anyone say prepaid credit card? Rent 20 movies for $20 (+tax)….then make sure theres no money left on card…simple enough. When they catch on…use your debit card…hit them for 50 movies and then report the card stolen and get a new one issued.

Sure…sounds unethical….until they start charging your credit card every month for charges that you didn’t authorize. How many people do you think they “accidentally” charge….even $1 extra…times 5000 people a month….Its only $1 to you but much more to a company that has access to your stored card.
