Today i saw a commercial said netflix is only $ 10. a month. you can keep them as long as you want and now im wondering what the drawbacks are? and has anyone tried it and liked it? please advise me. do you get the movies as soon as they are out on dvd.?

I know of a couple of people who subscribe to Netflix. They both really enjoy it from what they have said about it. It's so simple and they are really fast too! I think they actually have plans that are cheaper than 10 though, you might check into that!

I have an account on Blockbuster.com which is similar to Netflix, only you can upgrade the account so that you can exchange your movies in the store too, so that makes it better. I pay $20 a month and get 3 DVD's at a time, and 5 in store exchanges per month. There are a few movies which say there is a long wait, newer movies sometimes have a wait time just because of how many people want them, but if there's a movie I want to see bad enough I'll use one of my exchanges for it. I really like Blockbuster.com. I had a Netflix account once, but only for a few weeks. It seemed pretty good, but then I tried Blockbuster and I enjoy the fact that I can exchange movies in the store. Whenever I've had a customer service problem with them, they've e-mailed me a coupon for a free in store rental, so I like that too!

i really dont have a printer, so the coupons dont do me any good any more. i used to get coupons from blockbuster to print out but now have a laptop with no printer.

I do have Netflix and I enjoy the services. We love to rent new releases here at my home and it is way cheaper than going to see the movie at the theater. It is also alot cheaper than renting them from the local movie store as well! The local movie store near my home charged $4.99 per new release and of course if they were returned late there was the same fee applied for each late movie! I spend $16 per month (plus tax) for 3 movies at a time unlimited. This means for $18.14 monthly I can receive as many movies as possible 3 movies at a time to watch. I turn them in when I am done with them and keep them as long as I want. Normally we rent about 3 movies a week or less during the summer months (too busy during the summer) then we normally get 4 to 6 during the winter months. The postage is already applied to the movie rental and the service is very good. Normally it takes one day to receive a movie. I can receive the movie on Monday afternoon, watch it and mail it out on Tuesday and have another movie shipped to me by Wednesday. It is well worth it in my opinion. It has really cut down on our entertainment budget!


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3660)   ranked 1 out of 46 in dvd player  6 months ago

now thats the kind of response i needed. thanks. i'll definately see when i can do it now. you'd make a good advertisement person for themthumbup should let them know.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Shellyann36 (688)  6 months ago

LOL thanks, glad you decided to go with them. When I joined I signed up under my sendearnings account and got $9.00 for signing up. So my first monthly cost was actually paid back to me. I see you are going to go for it with MyPoints! That is a good plan! Enjoy it!

We did netflix a few years ago. In a way it is good. The turn around on the movies is pretty fast. And you can make a list of all the ones you want to see and they will send you ones off your list. The $10 a month probably would only get you one movie at a time. It is worth it if you watch the movie right away and send it back to get the next one. The only way it wouldn't be worth it is if you got your movies and kept them so long that you were paying more per month then what you were actually watching.


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3660)   ranked 1 out of 46 in dvd player  6 months ago

thanks. yes i realise i'll have to figure if it would be worth it.

I use it and it's great. It's really easy to use. The only drawback is that if you get busy and don't watch a movie for weeks and weeks, you're getting charged for nothing. Sometimes I get movies that just came out, depends on whether I saw them in the theater or not.


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3660)   ranked 1 out of 46 in dvd player  6 months ago

i sometimes watch ones i've seen before also. just because i liked them so much.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10177)  6 months ago

Me too but mostly I go after the ones that I haven't ever seen.

I got a card in the mail from Netflix for a free month trail to have unlimited movies for one month. I am not sure I will use the card though since we really don't use stuff l like that. Although it is a great super deal. To go to the movies nowadays cost $3.99 and up..$4.50 for our cinemas so it would be a good deal to be able to get all those movies watch them send them back..when your done. I am not sure about the new releases though. But Might be so hope someone can help you there. I just searched for the card and didn't find it..must have gotten tossed out since I hadn't been going to use it.


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3660)   ranked 1 out of 46 in dvd player  6 months ago

gee it would be nice to get a card like that just to see. maybe i'll try the website when i find it and see if theres deals.


myLot reputation of 99/100. mtdewgurl74 (10348)  6 months ago

http://www.netflix.com/?m... this it should take you to a page to start a free trial for 30 day and yes it says classics as well as new releases..I just read it.. Hope this will be of some help..


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3660)   ranked 1 out of 46 in dvd player  6 months ago

thanks. but i just went and signed up at mypoints. a good idea cause it got me more pointsthumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. mtdewgurl74 (10348)  6 months ago

Cool..did you have to have a credit card and use it even if they weren't going to charge it? that is another reason I didn't sign up I don't have credit cards and don't use them


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3660)   ranked 1 out of 46 in dvd player  6 months ago

actually i used my bank card but imagine you could use paypal? i dont really know much about paypal or what you can use it for.


myLot reputation of 99/100. mtdewgurl74 (10348)  6 months ago

I do use paypal but don't have a paypal card.which they would probably want to use. But thanks for getting back to me on that information I appreciate it. thumbupwink

We just joined with netflex for $9.62 that 8.88 plus taxes. It takes at least 3days o return a movie and get the next one in your queue. We have a center in the next county. You can also watch any number of movies on the computer or if you have one through an X-box which my grandson does. I signed up through "My Points and got the first two weeks free. I think it is well worth the $10.00 to get so many movies..


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3660)   ranked 1 out of 46 in dvd player  6 months ago

omg, thanks so much. i didnt even think of that. i belong to mypoints and if i can do that will be getting points also!! thats like the best advice so far. tyty.

There are no drawbacks except getting it to the post office.:)


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3660)   ranked 1 out of 46 in dvd player  6 months ago

myLot reputation of 94/100. libby2009 (1569)  6 months ago

Hahaha... no, I mean you have to send it back to the post office. You have to make the time and effort to return it.


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3660)   ranked 1 out of 46 in dvd player  6 months ago

I use Blockbuster, and it's about the same. I pay $20/month and I can have up to 3 movies out at any one time. I can pretty much watch a movie every night. Right now I have all 3 movies here at the house and I wont be able to watch them until after next week. I've kept a movie for over a month before and there's no additional charge, although it's counted as one of my 3 that I can have out. If you like to watch movies, I think it's great. Blockbuster (and I'm sure Netflix is the same) has the movies available the same day they're released, so if it's on your list and that's what's next then you'll get it when it comes out. I usually don't though because I don't pay too much attention to the order of my movies - I have over 30 on my list right now. One thing that Blockbuster does that is cool is that you get one free in-store movie rental a month. I've only used it once in over 2 years, but it is nice to know that you can do that.


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3660)   ranked 1 out of 46 in dvd player  6 months ago

but if its 20 a month i dont think it would be worth it to me. not sure we watch that much a month.


myLot reputation of 99/100. reinydawn (4236)  6 months ago

They do have a cheaper plan for like $9.99, but it's only one movie at a time. I like having 3 at a time because then I have a movie almost every night.
