Is the Netflix Free Trial Really Free?

If you ever browse Yahoo Answers or any other question and answer forum, then you are sure to see this question. People just cannot believe Netflix would give a 30 day free trial without any catches. After all, we are raised to believe "if it sounds too good to be true, then it is." However, in this case, Netflix really has a free trial.

The Netflix Free Trial Catch
Wait! Didn't we just say there was no catch? This really isn't a catch, but there are some minor qualifications to actually get the 30 day free trial.

1. You have to be 18 years old. This is because you have to own a credit card in order to sign up. If you can get a parent's credit card, then you can sign up with their card. Don't worry. Just because you need a card doesn’t mean it will be charged.
2. You need a valid credit or debit card to sign up. Netflix will put an immediate hold on the card for $8 to check for validity. If you cancel, the hold will be released. For debit cards, the money actually comes out of your account, but it will be returned upon cancellation. This is more of a bank thing than a Netflix thing.
3. It is only available to first time users. Netflix tracks customers through e-mail and credit card data. Therefore, if you had a Netflix account before, you won't qualify for the free trial.

The best part of the free trial is unlimited access to everything Netflix has. If you have not tried Netflix before, sign up today for your 30-day Netflix free trial at www.CouponShoebox.com
