- Yes, every single BlockBuster requires its own card. I have about 3 or 4
- Blockbuster cards (not in my wallet.) None of them are any good anymore, by
- the way, as BlockBuster clears out your account after 6 months of non-use.
- I like the size and selection of BlockBuster, but I do not like the prices.
- I usually rent at grocery store or discount store for $1.00 or less per
- video unless I can't get it there. Then, I go to BlockBuster.
