Question

Can I get a free 30-day trial of Netflix if I'm restarting my membership?

Community Answer

Unfortunately, no. Netflix will automatically continue your membership and charge the membership fee to your payment method on a monthly basis until you cancel.

Question

I haven't paid my Netflix bill in a while. How much do I need to pay to get it started back up again?

Community Answer

There is no Netflix bill. If you haven't paid for Netflix in a while, then you simply haven't had Netflix for that period, and you don't owe anything. You only get each month of Netflix when you prepay for it. When you stop paying, the service simply stops - it isn't like a cable contract that continues while you miss payments. Whenever you want to resume your Netflix membership, just follow the instructions in the article and pay the normal monthly fee.
