Netflix is undoubtedly the leader in the streaming wars, boasting 269.6 million paid subscribers worldwide as of the first quarter of 2024. With its excellent catalog of original series like "Stranger Things," "Bridgerton" and "Wednesday," as well as crowd-pleasing films like "Nimona," "Damsel" and "Hit Man," it's easy to see how Netflix became the industry leader it is today.
However, because it is the most popular service, Netflix doesn't offer many deals or discounts. The streamer has chosen other methods of boosting subscriber numbers, such as introducing a lower-cost ad-supported plan and cracking down on password sharing.
Unlike most other major streamers, Netflix does not offer a free trial. The company discontinued all free trials in the U.S. back in 2020 and is not expected to bring promotional trial periods back any time soon.
Still, it's free Netflix, which is not nothing, and being able to stream new seasons of "Cobra Kai," "Emily in Paris" and "Bridgerton" for the low cost of nothing at all is still pretty appealing for those looking to save on streaming.

The Netflix free subscription in Kenya was the latest option to watch Netflix movies and shows without paying a dime. Users worldwide could connect to a VPN with a Kenyan server and sign up on Android phones without a credit card.
Even though the content was limited, the Netflix free subscription gave users an ad-free experience. Moreover, new users got personalized recommendations and options to create multiple profiles, as well as set up parental controls to protect the little ones.
Sadly, in October 2023, the streaming provider announced plans to discontinue the free trial in Kenya as of Nov. 1, 2023. Instead, Netflix urged users to switch to one of their paid plans. As of the time of writing this article, there are no Netflix free trial countries that you can use with this trick.
Getting a discounted Netflix gift card is another way to reduce your bills. For example, you can buy discounted gift cards from Raise.com or MTCGame. The platforms buy unused or partially used Netflix gift cards and sell them at a discount.
Before the Netflix password-sharing crackdown, you could share an account with members outside your household. These days, only members of the same household can share an account. If you live under the same roof with your friend, leverage this option to split your Netflix subscription bills.
For example, if you split the U.S. Netflix Premium price among three friends, everyone pays $6.66 per month. Netflix Premium allows up to four devices, meaning each person can stream movies on their devices without a hitch.
You may incur a small cost to buy the best VPN to access Netflix in another country and get an uninterrupted streaming experience. Luckily, some of the best free VPNs offer servers in countries with cheap Netflix. For example, Windscribe has a free server in Turkey, whereas TunnelBear offers a free server in Kenya.
The Netflix trial offer may no longer be available, but there are plenty of options for how to get Netflix cheaper. You can split the bill with friends and family, or get a discounted gift card to save money. Note, though, that the former may require you to jump through the latest Netflix password-sharing hoops.
how to watch netflix FREE and your 1st instruction is go to a site and BUY a card. how stupid that must make you feel, all the extra steps to pay for a card fom other country instead of just paying netflix.
I don't have a Netflix account and never have done. I have a Gmail address which I have never used for public communication. Suddenly I started getting email to this Gmail address from Netflix - not a "Welcome to Netflix" email or one requesting address verification, but what looked like a monthly promo for an existing account. This was addressed to someone with a different real name, with that name not similar in any way to the Gmail name.
After a few of these messages I decided to investigate by going to Netflix and trying to log in with that email address. Using the "forgotten password" option I was able to get a password reset email, change the password and log in. The account appeared to be from Brazil, with some watch history but no other personal details stored and no payment information.
Soon the emails from Netflix started to ask me to update payment information. I didn't, of course, and then they changed to "your account will be suspended" and then "your account has been suspended". The "come back to Netflix" emails are still coming in occasionally.
I don't see how this could possibly be a phishing attempt - I carefully checked that I was on the real Netflix site, used a throwaway password not used on any other sites, and did not enter any of my personal information. I also checked the headers of the emails carefully and they were sent by Netflix. So is this just a mistake on somebody's part, mistyping an email address (although it's surprising that Netflix accepted it with no verification), or something more sinister?
(Note that the above steps don't include any "password reset" step for Jim to access the account; that's because the email from Netflix includes authenticated links that won't ask for it. The attacker wants the victim to click on the email links instead of visiting Netflix manually, this is what enables "Eve" to log back in to the account in step 7. Or, since Netflix emails authenticated links, possibly "Eve" already has one.)
The above situation is partially caused by Netflix (understandably) not recognizing Gmail's "dots don't matter" feature where email sent to [email protected] and to [email protected] end up in the same account. That doesn't really matter in your case (given that if this is how you're trying to be scammed, step 1 was skipped entirely), however.
The most probable situation is that someone used an arbitrary Gmail address (yours) in order to sign up for a free trial, or mistakenly tried to change their email to the wrong address (maybe to have a friend/family also get emails).
This would not be a "hack" or even a phishing attempt, just using any available address. This does mean that your Gmail address could not be used for a free trial at Netflix, so there is that negative impact to you.
As a side note, by logging into someone else's account, you have violated many country's "unauthorised access" laws. I would not make a habit of doing this (or telling others on public sites that you have".
I get dozens to hundreds of e-mails from legitimate companies (car dealers, LA dept of water and power, Macys.com, cell phone activation notes, the payroll company ADP, and Nationwide insurance) from people with my first name and an initial matching my last name.
The worst was in early 2019, when I received medical records (Lab results in a .PDF file) - a clear HIPAA violation, since e-mail isn't an authenticated or encrypted communications channel. The "medical records" person, who should know the law, was the sender of the e-mail.
In my case, none of them are nefarious, but represent clueless users or even worse, clueless sales clerks (such as Lenscrafters in Maryland), the Apple store in Manhattan, and others too numerous to mention.
I got emails from Netflix too saying that my account was cancelled and that there was a sign in attempt somewhere from the US... except that I live in Canada, and have never made a Netflix account in the first place. I went directly to the Netflix website and was able to speak to a representative, and they deleted the account. There was no payment information either. I don't understand why this happened, either someone has a similar email address yet without the dots, or perhaps there is some sinister reason, but I wouldn't know. I've wondered if someone might do this hoping that the other person would fill in their payment information, thus enabling the account.
