From your computer, visit the On Demand Movies page on Redbox’s website.
Look for a movie you want to buy or rent. Click Show Filters to sort by genre, maturity rating, and rent vs. buy. Click Trending to order the list in alphabetical order or release date. To view a summary, click any movie.
Click or tap the Rent On Demand or Buy On Demand button on the right side of the movie’s page.

How to Buy Redbox DVD Movies?
Often Redbox kiosks have DVDs available for purchase, though only used DVDs. The kiosk payment options are the same for buying DVDs as they are for renting them, but unlike renting movies, you cannot search for or reserve DVDs on the Redbox website.
Movie Purchases
To check for movie purchases at a Redbox kiosk, tap the For Sale button when you are browsing for movies. Here, you can browse the movies that are available for purchase, make your choice, and then buy the movie using a common payment method. If you do not see a “For Sale” button, then that kiosk does not currently have any movies available for purchase.
Purchase Options
When you purchase a movie at a kiosk, you can use a credit or debit card. Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover are all accepted at Redbox. Redbox gift cards are unfortunately no longer available as physical cards and can only be used as digital gift cards on the Redbox website.com.
