After Netflix closed its free trial program it is been difficult to get the Netflix Account. But Still, there are ways you can get Netflix for Free. Learn how you can get a free Netflix account and save a significant amount of money.

In this post, you will learn various ways you can get a Netflix account for free or at a significant discount.

Netflix is one of the most popular and best streaming services in the world. It has more than 200 million subscribers worldwide.

Since its inception, Netflix came up with various TV shows and movies of its own that gained a lot of popularity worldwide and were instantly hit. This increased the demand for Netflix and since then Netflix has launched great shows and movies to watch for its audience.

As in the last couple of years, Netflix has grown to a great extend. This led to the closing of the Free Trials which they used to offer to their new users. Also, a Netflix subscription comes at a great cost of around $14 per month.

Even though its cost is on the higher side if compared to Amazon Prime, yet it is worth every penny if you want to get the subscription at this cost.

But I am not discussing paying for a Netflix subscription. But to tell you ways you can get a free account or save money on the subscription.

Netflix Subscription Cost

Let me show you what is the usual subscription cost of Netflix and how it is structured with the cost of various features.

	Basic	Standard	Premium
Monthly Price	$8.99	$13.99	$17.99
Annual Cost	$107.88	$167.88	$215.88
HD Streaming	No	Yes	Yes
Ultra HD	No	No	Yes
Screens at the Same Time	1	2	4

The above table clearly shows that if you can get Free Netflix Subscriptions then you can save around $215 annually.

Ways to Get Netflix for Free

Since the end of 1 month or 14 days trial period Netflix it is really hard for you to get the Netflix account completely.

1. Trial Period

But apart from the US, the Trail period is still going on for many other parts of the World. Such countries are India, Brazil, and Europe. Since Netflix is always looking to expand its market they are offering these trails in the countries in which their presence is less.

This is the most common way you can get a Netflix Account for free. So, if you are signing up for Netflix for the first time you will get 1 month of free subscriptions and once 1 month is completed then you will be charged on your card.

Things required to get the Free Trial account of Netflix. Let me list down the steps for you.

Email Address – Make sure that it is never used with Netflix in past.
Credit Card or Debit Card – To get the Free Trial you need to put in Credit Card or Debit Card information.

Once you get the free trial for 1 month for 4 screens, I would tell you to sell those remaining screens on Instagram or Telegram channels with a minimal price of around $3-$4. With this, you can earn around $9 or $12 in the first month.

Once you have earned the first month of money you can invest that money to continue your subscriptions and you may not be required to pay the money for your Netflix account till the people you found on Instagram or Telegram are ready to pay you.

Using this same idea in the early days my friend was able to use Netflix for free for almost a year unless one of the buyers dropped out and then he searched for another buyer in meantime.

Note that this idea does not work for you if you are someone who is going to use all 4 screens at the same time for Netflix at your home.

Also, this method is against Netflix policy and if found then your account will be blacklisted immediately and you will not be able to use Netflix ever.

And I do not recommend such a method as well since it is against the company policy and you can get into legal troubles as well if found.

You can also keep extending these trial plans by using new email and credit card information. Since old or used email account and information will not receive any free trials.

Share the Plans with Friends and Family

Do you have any friends or family members with a Netflix Account? Then you can ask them if they mind sharing the Netflix account username password with you.

Since there can be few friends and family members who are not using all 4 screens or user limit set by Netflix and they might be happy to share the account details with you without asking for money.

But since other people are paying the bills, most of the time you may hear a resounding No from them. As they may not be comfortable sharing their email address and other information with you.

And some may ask you to pay some amount and then you can get the account information. In this case, I think you can utilize these offers at a minimal price.

Netflix Lucky Trial Subcription Extension Mail

If you are one of the lucky members then you may receive a subscription extension for your free trial from Netflix.

Note that this happens rarely but it is still one of the options for you to look for. Hence while you are on a trial period keep looking for the mails you are receiving from Netflix they may offer you an extra one-month subscription for no cost.

There is another way as well in which most of the customers got the subscription extension. That is call customer care and ask them for the complimentary extension as a courtesy. Most of the time customer care executives are happy to offer the extension.

Look for Offers for Free Netflix from Your Mobile Carrier or Internet Providers

Nowadays because of a lot of competition in the mobile carrier and internet provider space, most of the companies are coming with offers where they are offering premium Netflix, Prime, Hulu, and other video streaming services as free with some specific plan you buy from them.

For example, if you are having T-Mobile then you can get Netflix for free very easily. They are running an offer named Netflix on Us in which you will get a free Netflix subscription.

Another example is if you are from India then if you get a JIO FiberNet broadband connection with a price of Rs 999 per month. Then you will receive a free Netflix Account on monthly basis.

But there are always limitations to it that is you need to get the specific plan that is offering Netflix for free. This can be a little higher than your regular plan. For example, for T-Mobile, you need to have more than 2 lines to qualify for this offer.

And based upon your number of lines T-Mobile decides on your Netflix account type which you may receive.

Ways to Reduce Netflix Bill to Zero

You can use the below-mentioned methods to reduce your bills for your Netflix Subscriptions and in some cases, you can make it to zero as well.

Search for Netflix Promo Code

To lower the cost of Netflix, you can look for a free Netflix code to activate the discounts.

Here is the list of coupon websites for Netflix:

These are the popular websites that allow community members to upload deals, discounts, and promo codes. These websites list their deals, coupon code, and promo codes in very informative ways.

They also show that was the provided coupons or discount coupons are effective in any way.

Buy Gift Cards for Netflix

You can buy discounted Netflix Gift cards from the various gift card websites. Discounted gift cards are the best ways to reduce your subscription cost.

There are many websites such as Raise.com or if you own any credit card such as to discover then you can browse their discount portal and buy the discounted gift cards from their website.

Once you get the gift cards at a lower price from such websites. Then you can redeem it for your membership. These websites offer various other gift cards that you can purchase to save money for any subscription you want.

Buy Subscriptions for Alternate Months

Another way you can save money is by buying a subscription for alternate months. With this, you will be able to save money for half of the months of the year and you will be able to watch your favorite shows as well.

Hence, suppose you are having few TV Shows which are going to release in winter then you can cancel your subscription till winter, and then once shows or movies go on air, you can take the subscription for that month and watch your shows.

Split your Bills with Family and Friends

You might have friends who are already having subscription in their name or any family member who have the subscriptions or Netflix account in there names and they are ready to split the bills with you and share the Netflix account.

This is the most commonly used method all over the world. As any four members of the group of friends or family come together and buy the Netflix subscription then they split the bill among themselves equally.

This method saves three fourth money on each subscription cost. And all you are doing is paying 25% of the subscription cost of the Netflix account. And you can enjoy full 4K video streaming on it.

Rotate with Alternate Video Streaming Service

Another method to save on your Netflix account can be choosing alternate and cheaper video streaming services and canceling Netflix for that month.

Prime Video

Prime Video is also a popular streaming service provided by Amazon. You can also find a lot of great TV Shows and Movies on Prime Videos. Prime Video comes at very less monthly subscription costs.

You can join Amazon Prime now and will get 30 days trial for free and also lots of other shopping features from its membership apart from video streaming.

It has a yearly subscription at somewhere around $99. In which you get all the Amazon benefits including the Amazon Music streaming service and also prime delivery on each product.

Hulu

Hulu is another great video streaming service available as an alternative to Netflix. Hulu also has great TV Shows and Movies to watch. They have a huge library of movies and shows to choose from.

If you are a Sprint Customer then you can get Hulu Service for free. Or if you are a Spotify user then you can get a free online Hulu service.

HBO Now

HBO is the most popular video streaming service on the cable network as you all may know. But currently, they started their online video streaming services as well.

Though you may not see everything available on the cable to be streamed on their website. But still, you can find great shows and movies to watch.

HBO Now is its standalone streaming service. You can create a new account to get a 7-day free trial, but this requires a different email address if you’ve redeemed a trial before.

Get a Side hustle to Earn Monthly Subscription Price

Apart from this, you may start some side hustle to earn some money which handles your Netflix subscription cost.

You may start doing an online Survey from Survey Junkies if you are a resident of the US, Canada, or Australia. It is a great website where you can spend around 30 minutes of your daily time and can earn around $5 every day.

Or you may do some part-time job for an hour extra in a whole month even if you are on minimum wage that should cover your Netflix subscription cost on monthly basis.

Another way can be you can start an online blog or a YouTube channel and start making content to earn some side money to get your budget adjusted as per video streaming services you want to own
