Netflix - 30 day free trial

Hey,

The free trial that Netflix offer is great and I didn't spend a penny. AND YOU CAN SIGN-UP AGAIN AND GET THE FREE TRIAL

I set up an account (I think through facebook) and gave my credit card details. After 28 days I cancelled it. This was very easy. I've heard LOVEFILM can be a pain to cancel. A week later I signed up again for the free trial and even used the same credit card.

https://signup.netflix.com/

So I got 2 months for free. Ive not tried again but it looks like you'd get another free months membership if you re-sign up again.

    Looks like you only get the cashback if you stay signed up.

    Netflix is not really free because you are charged £2 per download on your telephone bill, i let my granddaughter do the 30 day free trial and my phone bill is £60 more then normal, when i questioned this with my telephone supplier they said had i been trying Netflix because they fail to tell you that you pay for each film you download, i am glad we cancelled it after the months "free" trial.

    What kind of internet deal are you on as the only reason that might happen is because you have gone over your bandwidth limit so you get charged. Otherwise I've never heard of that before and we've been on netflix 2 months now with nothing else being charged, just the £6

    Netflix did not charge you. Your broad band provider charged you because you went over your internet allowance.

    Just signed up to the free trial only to discover that the Netflix app is not available on my samsung ue37d6530 tv, I can't even watch it through the browser as it keeps insisting I don't have the right system requirements! Anyone know anyway around this? Obviously I could watch on my computer but the point is I want to use the computer whilst dh watches films!

    If you sign up through Quidco you get £5 for the free trial or £20 for becoming a paying customer. Get the free trial, then pay for 1 months supscription and make £14!!

    Nope, i've got the same problem. I can watch it via my Apple TV though.. The other option would be something like this:

    What does this actually do, it looks interesting?
