Today Redbox announced the re-launch of their loyalty program that will allow renters to earn everything from free DVD, Blu-ray and game rentals, Redbox Perks to other perks from Redbox partners in the future. This new program is called Redbox Perks and will replace the old Redbox Play Pass program.
WIth the new Redbox Perks members will achieve “Star” status after making 10 rentals or purchases each calendar year. “Superstar” and “Legend” can be achieved by making 20 and 50 rentals or purchases each calendar year respectively. Once members reach each status, they will receive an exclusive welcome gift and additional opportunities to earn points and rewards. In addition to earning free DVD, Blu-ray and game rentals, Redbox Perks members will soon have the option to choose rewards from Redbox partners.
“We’re recognizing and rewarding members for making smart home-entertainment choices with their hard-earned dollars,” said Ash Eldifrawi, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at Redbox. “The updated loyalty program increases the value of each Redbox experience.”
Customers that already take advantage of Redbox Play Pass should experience no difficulty transitioning over to Redbox Perks, as all points will be migrated into the new system. The new points balance will equal the same number of one-night rentals away from a reward as it did under the flagship loyalty program.
“Redbox customers deserve significant rewards for significant loyalty,” added Eldifrawi. “We’re excited to offer benefits above and beyond free rentals with the updates to Redbox Perks.”
