I am currently on a trip and I want to activate the Netflix offer to enjoy my trip at night and I have searched and found that Virgin TV should be used so I want to activate this offer without needing it and I have mentioned the reason that I am on a trip and I am completely away from home

If you're not a Virgin Media Customer, then you would need to sign up using Netflix's standard process on their website.
Cheers,
I did what did you tell me but i didnt find the netflix banner as you say , i enter at my laptop to virigin media login and i entered but i didnt find netflix banner an di try other thing and it is :
do you offer access to Netflix in your listing? If so do you use your own account? Pay for another account? Make them sign in with THEIR account? I have a Netflix account myself and a ROKU I can hook up -- I just today got my first inquiry about Netflix in the unit. I'm wondering how others do it.
I have an additional device account, one for guests. If a guest doesn't have their own account, they can request me to set up access to ours as a guest viewer. Although after 2 years and many bookings, I have had only 2 requests for me to set them up. Most have their own account these days.
We have a guest account for Netflix and Hulu and an old iPhone with nothing else on it signed in for guests to cast to the tv, via google chrome-cast. Old fashioned but does the job at low cost. (We have no tv service.)
Hi Emilia, I'll just be starting to offer Netflix for my guest this coming month and thinking of the same set-up as yours (guest will have access to my account, but with a different user profile). I'd like to ask if you had any instances where your guests have messed with the other profiles on your Netflix account. If yes, what did you do? Or if not, what have you done to prevent this.
@Jose-Feliciano0, just this week I noticed the Grinch was watched on my specific Netflix profile and there were two young children staying in one of my Airbnbs at that time. It doesn't bother me and doesn't happen often. No one has ever messed with my settings or anything like that. I would say it is more frustrating when they log out of my account and into their own. I have to check every time I am turning over the space for a new guest that Netflix is correctly logged into the right account. I would never give my password to a guest so if they get logged out it would require me going over to the apartment to log them back in (luckily, no one has asked me to do that.)
Hi Jose, So I'm a little behind on this thread & I've been looking into all this stuff with Netflix & if you offer up your own account could the guest potentially mess with the other accounts on it. Anyway, their is a way you can lock your other profiles so they would only have access to the one you want them to have..
I have a "guest profile" for Netflix/Hulu/Amazon but it is still my account. The account requires a password to be modified in any way, including ordering movies that are not included in the subscription so there's no way guests could change or charge anything.
The only issue I had once was someone signed in on their own account, then messaged me claiming that someone was watching stuff on their account after they checked out. We didn't have any guests during the time they claimed this was happening and we had logged them out anyways, so I think they had left their account logged in elsewhere.
@Kelly1126 I have the Netflix account that allows for streaming on 4 devices at once. I just leave the account signed in. Same with Amazon: I'm actually not sure how many people can log in at once, but there has never been a conflict, maybe because Amazon Prime is pretty poor in Canada and there isn't much to watch. Some people choose to use their own account, but I do provide mine also so they can use it if they want.
We have Smart TVs and/or Roku's so that guests can access their own accounts. We remind them to sign out when they leave. We've also been using YouTubeTV instead of cable TV in some properties. So far, so good. The savings are great. Good luck with whatever you decide!
Thanks for your answer, but I bought an Apple TV today and during the configuration process it requested my Apple ID...until then everything Ok but when I tried to get to Netflix the only option to open it is login with an Apple ID or buy a new one.
If you are signing up for Netflix on the Apple TV then that will be connected to your Apple ID. If you don't yet have an account and don't want to use your Apple ID then you will need to sign up via the Netflix website. If you already have an account then just login using those credentials.
The Apple ID is used for iTunes movies, music and tv shows as well as App Store downloads and homesharing local media. all apps are developed and supported by the content owner and will have seperate logins. For the sample, you can download the fox now app and watch clips but it requires an active cable/satellite subscription for full episodes. Netflix is a seperate company and has a seperate subscription account - you get 7 days free before they charge you.
That was originally the case when Netflix appeared on the older machines - later you were allowed to sign-up for Netflix services (for AppleTV/iOS devices) directly using your Apple ID for payment on a rolling basis with a 30 day free trial (in UK, maybe different elsewhere).
As spotted by streaming industry insider Andrew Freedman (and first reported by Cord Busters), Netflix is trying to encourage potential subscribers to sign up to its ads-supported basic tier, rather than its traditional basic tier.
Previously, customers who navigated to Netflix's sign up page were greeted with four tiers to choose from: basic with adverts, basic, standard, and premium. The latter three are not supported by ads, meaning viewers won't have to sit through five minutes of adverts for every hour of Netflix content they stream.
Specifically, you'll need to scroll down until you see some small print that reads 'Want more options? See all plans'. Click on the linked text and you'll be taken to a near-identical sign-up page, which includes the ads-free basic tier. This tier is slightly more expensive than the ads-supported option, but you won't have to sit through commercials, plus you have the option to download the best Netflix shows, best Netflix movies, and best Netflix documentaries to your device of choice. This tier allows you to watch Netflix content offline, too.
So, what's the big deal? Netflix's basic tiers only offer 720p resolution, so most viewers will opt for the standard or premium tiers, which give you better video quality, a higher resolution, and other bonuses, right?
However, the problem lies in how Netflix is promoting its ads-free basic tier. By actively hiding its non-ads basic tier, Netflix is reducing consumer choice on its own sign-up page. That could be considered as poor customer service, as it deprives potential subscribers from seeing every option available to them.
It's a move that also flies in the face of what Netflix's executive team told its own shareholders. During Netflix's Q3 2022 earnings call, Greg Peters, Netflix's Chief Operating and Chief Product Officer, claimed the streaming giant would take a "pro-consumer approach" (per financial advice expert The Motley Fool) to providing consumers with its subscription options.
"As we stated before, we're not really trying to steer our members to one plan or another," Peters said. "We're trying to take a pro-consumer approach and sort of let them find and land on the right plan for them... And so, we really anticipate that this is going to be a pro-consumer model that will be more attractive, bring more members in because the consumer pricing price is low."
Peters made those comments after Netflix posted a net increase of 2.4 million subscribers in Q3 2022, which came after successive financial quarters where the company lost millions of customers and subsequently cancelled multiple, in-development shows. At the time, then, it seemed Netflix was buoyed by its subscriber-based turnaround and wanted to maintain that positivity by telling investors what they wanted to hear.
And yet here we are, four months after that earnings call, with Netflix burying one of its subscription tiers in the small print of its sign-up page. So what changed? The popularity (or rather, unpopularity) of Netflix's ads-based basic tier.
Reading between the lines, it seems Netflix isn't as pleased as it claims. The evidence suggests it's pushing potential subscribers to buy its ads-based basic tier instead of its non-ads one, which directly contradicts the company's previous comments on being consumer friendly. It's not a good look, Netflix, and you know it.
