<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n1. The Obvious One: Choose a Cheaper Tier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Netflix offers different tiers of its service with different pros and cons. These tiers vary from one country to the next, but in the USA there are three options: Basic, Standard & Premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most basic option only costs $8.99 and lets you watch shows on a single screen at a time only. You can also only watch shows in standard definition. That sounds like a bad deal, but if you mainly watch Netflix on a small phone screen and only want it for yourself, it\u2019s a $5 saving.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe same applies to Premium. At .99 it\u2019s the most expensive option with the main advantages being 4K content support and four screens active at once. However, if you don\u2019t have a 4K TV, aren\u2019t interested in the 4K content currently available or have slow internet, you might as well go for a lower option. That is unless you absolutely need 4-screen support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Netflix is diversifying its tiers from one country to the next, so be sure to check if they have specialized offers wherever you live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Watch Everything You Want With the Free Trial (Outside the USA)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In some countries (although currently not in the USA) Netflix offers free trials for up to a month. While you will need a credit card to sign up, you can simply cancel a few days before the trial ends and not pay a cent. If you\u2019re lucky, Netflix may even offer you a second free trial a month or so after cancelling.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nSome people have had luck using different email addresses and payment methods to use successive trials. However, that\u2019s clearly an abuse of the offering, not to mention quite a hassle to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. The Risky Method: Account Sharing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This is a common practice, where friends<\/a> or family members share their account credentials and either pay a share of the Netflix fee or piggyback for free. This is against the Netflix terms of use and it’s something the streaming giant has been cracking down on recently. If you do this, you may receive a warning message and be required to enter a pin sent to the primary account holder. <\/p>\n\n\n This shouldn\u2019t be a problem for families. For example, parents sharing an account with their college kids or grandparents. We don\u2019t know how much Netflix will tighten the noose in future, but if the primary account holder is OK with being bugged for verification it\u2019s still a viable way to do things at the time of writing, although it\u2019s entirely at your own risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Netflix often partners with other companies to offer their streaming service as part of a bundle. This can be a deal struck with an internet service provider, a cable company, a cell phone provider or anyone really. <\/p>\n\n\n If you\u2019re in the market for one of those other products anyway, it may be worth picking the one that also comes with Netflix as part of the package. Just be sure to read the fine print carefully to make sure it\u2019s actually a good deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n T-Mobile has a Netflix on Us<\/a> feature that will cover the cost of a basic Netflix subscription if you have a certain number of lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a good idea to always open your favorite search engine and do some research on any Netflix promotions that may be happening in your country. This may include vouchers for free time or a discount on fees. <\/p>\n\n\n All you have to do is go to the Netflix promotional page<\/a> and enter the code. If you don\u2019t already have an account, you\u2019ll have to create one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In some territories you can buy Netflix gift cards at physical stores or order them from online retailers. Every now and then you can pick up these cards for less than their face value. Whether it\u2019s because retailers want to clear out their stock or because it\u2019s a promotion related to something else. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n4.
