Would it keep charging you if turned in a Redbox movie but really that movie?

It's impossible for Redbox to know if you returned the actual movie you rented, as long as the disc you return is the correct type (DVD or Blu-ray) and is in the same case.

Here's why:

* No individual tracking: Redbox doesn't track individual movies. They only track the case and disc type.

* Barcode scanning: The kiosk scans the barcode on the case, not the movie itself. This ensures the correct type of disc is returned.

* No inspection: Redbox doesn't physically inspect the disc you return. They rely on the barcode scan and the return of the correct case.

However, there are some things to keep in mind:

* Damaged discs: If you damage the disc, Redbox may charge you for it.

* Lost or stolen discs: If you lose or steal a disc, you are responsible for paying the full replacement cost.

* Switching discs: It's technically possible to switch discs, but it's unethical and potentially illegal. If caught, you could face penalties.

In conclusion: Redbox relies on the honor system. You are responsible for returning the correct case and disc type. As long as you do that, you won't be charged for a different movie.
