Question

Why do I have to pay every month?

Community Answer

It's because they need to make money to stay in business because they have to pay the movie people to get the rights to put the movie on their website.

Question

Why won't it accept my visa card?

Community Answer

Chances are that your Visa card may be expired, but if you already checked for that, then you may be mistyping some information. Try again but check really carefully this time (even reading it out as you type can help) and if that doesn't work, contact your local bank to find a solution or ask for some tips to fix the problem.

Question

When I watch a movie, does it use GBs?

Community Answer

Yes. Your Internet usage is based upon your ISP (Internet Service Provider), which may include a data cap. On a mobile device, streaming video eats up data quickly; be sure you're on a wireless connection before doing so.

Question

Is Amazon Prime better than Netflix?

Community Answer

It really depends on what you're looking for. Netflix is a more straightforward service in that it's just a movie/TV show service. Amazon Prime covers more things, like electronic books and free shipping and special offers on some Amazon items, if those things are useful to you (unless you just get the Prime Video membership). Amazon also has a bigger selection of movies and shows, but many of them (especially most of the recent or popular ones) are not free, so you have to pay to rent or buy them, on top of paying for the Amazon Prime subscription.

Question

I put in my card information and it says 'insufficient funds'. But it shouldn't matter if I have money in my account if it's a free month, right?

They need to charge a small amount, which they will refund, just to verify that the card can be charged once your trial ends.

Question

Does Netflix take my money if I enter my account details?

Community Answer

It will only take your money once your free trial ends. Netflix gives you a one month free trial, so your card is not charged before that, but they will charge you if you don't close your account after the trial is over.
