I've never used Redbox, but figure they likely pre-auth for the maximum $25 "Buy It" amount for each DVD borrowed? Anyone know if that's what Redbox does or do they just pre-auth each for $1 only and hope the person has more available, if they return it late.

Probably fiter, because authorization doesn't even go to the bank that issued that card. I checked online and it had nothing on that card. However, there are rebate cards from stores like staples that go thru on redbox. Weird, eh?
