All of the time you’ve been spending indoors can make you feel trapped. One way people have been passing the time is by investing it in quality entertainment — after all, what can lift your spirits quite like six seasons of Schitt’s Creek? If you don’t have Netflix, don’t have a Netflix budget at the moment, but are still feeling Netflix envy, never fear: this is the secret hack people are using to watch Netflix for free.
There are three types of Netflix subscriptions that range from Basic ($8.99 month) to Standard ($12.99 a month) to Premium ($15.99 a month). These prices may not seem too bad, but if you consider your yearly expenses and factor them in with other expenses, it might prove a bit luxurious for a streaming service.
One way you can get around paying the subscription price is by signing up for a Netflix free one month trial. This offer allows you to test out Netflix before committing to the service. To do this, you will have to visit the Netflix website and input your email address and credit card info — because you will be automatically charged for a Netflix subscription once your free trial expires. But there is one way around that.
If you cancel your membership right before your free trial expires, Netflix often lets customers sign up for a second free trial a few months later. There have also been instances where Netflix gives customers one month free service if they sign up for the service about a year after their free trial expires.
The caveat here is that you won’t be able to access free Netflix for longer than three months. One more way around this is to use different email addresses and credit cards to sign up for free trials. If you’re in a bind, but really need to binge-watch that show you love, these are some options that will cut costs while still allowing you to enjoy Netflix.
