First, sign up for the Blockbuster Express new release email, and you'll receive a code in your email inbox for a free one-night rental. Just enter this code during checkout at the kiosks to get the rental for free. (Any additional nights will cost $1 each.) Plus, now through March 31st, you can also use the code GOLIVE at checkout to get another free 1-night rental.
