How to Get Netflix for Free
Netflix is a streaming service with a ton of great content, including original shows and movies you can’t watch anywhere else. Between increasing membership fees, and tough economic times, not everyone can afford to subscribe, but there are a few ways to watch Netflix for free.
Sharing Netflix Accounts with Friends or Family
The basic Netflix plan only allows you to watch one show or movie at a time, but the standard and premium plans allow you to watch multiple things on multiple devices. With the standard plan, you can watch up to two things at once, and the premium plan allows you to stream up to four shows or movies at the same time.
Netflix allows you to create up to five separate profiles, each of which can have their own watch lists and recommendations. This allows you to share your account without your friends or family clogging up your recommendations with shows you have no interest in.
Here’s how to set up a separate Netflix profile:
2.Select your user icon in the upper right corner. If you already have more than one profile, you’ll see the “Who’s Watching?” screen.
3. Select Manage Profiles.
4. Select Add Profile.
5. Enter a name for the new profile, and select CONTINUE.
6. Select DONE.
How to Get Additional Free Netflix Trials
If you’re patient and don’t care about going for long stretches without Netflix, you can actually get multiple free trials. This isn’t a guaranteed method, and there’s no way to hurry it along, but it is completely legitimate.
When you sign up for a free trial on Netflix but cancel before your trial ends, Netflix will eventually reach out to try and secure your business. It will typically take at least several months for Netflix to send this email, and it could potentially be significantly longer.
If you do receive an email like this from Netflix, all you need to do is select the Start Your Free Trial link they provide. This will take you to a page on the Netflix site where you can renew your free trial membership.
Under normal circumstances, you can only sign up for a single Netflix free trial. This is how Netflix intended the free trial system to work, but it’s actually possible to sign up for more than one free trial if you use different billing methods. You can even get a Netflix free trial without a credit card, but having several credit cards ready to go helps a lot.
To sign up for a Netflix free trial, you need a credit card, debit card, PayPal account, or Netflix gift code. You can also use a reward card or gift card if it’s issued by a credit card provider like Visa.
