You will want to contact them via their website if you have concerns. That said, I'll add that I have never had troubles with Redbox misusing my credit/debit card information, and I've been a customer for 2.5 years. If you look at your records, you'll probably note that you were only charged once, the day after you returned your movie. Redbox waits to charge you until you return your movie. If you had kept the movie an extra night, you would still have only seen one charge, and it would be for $2.18. The nine cents per day is sales tax; the same tax you'd pay if you rented from Blockbuster or Hollywood Video. If you still have questions, you should contact Redbox as per information on their website, http://www.redbox.com<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('52899','paul'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('52899','paul','Bill, \r\n\r\nI am only a Redbox customer; I have never worked for Redbox, nor do I provide support for them.

It just sounded . . . odd. Different might be a better word and different is sometimes looked down on. Now that I have a testimonial (can I get an AMEN!!!), I think we shall try this out. My only problem is that I will probably end up going through the drive thru as well. I guess I can't have everything. Oh, and Christina's idea is excellent and should be heavily pursued. I'd rent three or four movies for some of my flights.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('193','Dave'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('193','Dave','I have long wanted to try Redbox, but was worried about the whole idea.
