Over half the rentals arent worth $1 anyway, other than the handfull of movies worth seeing on the bigscreen, Hollywood's quality standards are really low...whats with all the lame remakes?...no new ideas out there?

With 7 cards in my wallet and let's say 5 circulating codes, it would take me about 10 years to run out given the rate of movies I feel are worth even $1 to rent.
I remember when I was consolidating bank accounts. I had 8 cards (5 CCs then, plus 3 debit Visa cards) and I worked at a place with a redbox machine. Best part is, if you pick it up right after midnight, you receive until the following calendar day to return it. I worked until midnight as a regular shift, so I'd punch out, hit the redbox machine and get two days to watch the movie, and could easily bring it back and get another without going out of my way at all! 8 cards and codes got me a long way
