How to Reduce Your Netflix Subscription Cost

As Netflix tightens its policies on password sharing, it’s worth exploring ways to access the streaming service more affordably. Here are some strategies to help you reduce the cost of your Netflix subscription, or even get it for free through various legitimate avenues.

1. Move Down a Tier with Netflix

Consider adjusting your subscription plan to a lower tier to save money. Netflix offers multiple streaming plans that cater to different needs and budgets. If you’re currently on a Premium plan and don’t often use the benefits like Ultra HD or multiple streams, switching to the Basic or Standard plan can significantly reduce your monthly expense.

2. Bundle with Telecom Providers

2.1 Use T-Mobile

T-Mobile’s “Netflix On Us” program is perfect for customers looking to bundle their mobile plan with entertainment. Eligibility requires at least two lines under certain plans, which can cover either the Netflix Basic or Standard subscription. Details on eligibility and activation are available on T-Mobile’s official site.

2.2 Use Verizon

Verizon offers a limited-time deal where customers can buy a year of STARZ and get a year of Netflix Premium for free. This promotion provides significant savings and is a great deal if you’re already considering other streaming services. Be sure to check the end date and specifics as these promotions can change.

2.3 Comcast Xfinity

Comcast Xfinity customers can choose packages that include Netflix. This option may require specific equipment or internet services, but it’s a convenient way to consolidate your bills and potentially save on a Netflix subscription.

3. Legitimate Sharing Hack

Netflix allows devices connected to your home Wi-Fi to be recognized as part of your household. Log in with your device at the account holder’s house, then return to your home. This might bypass the need for frequent re-verification, depending on how strictly Netflix enforces its new policies in the future.

4. Buy Apple Gift Cards

While this tip doesn’t directly pertain to Netflix, purchasing discounted Apple gift cards can reduce costs in related areas, like subscriptions through the Apple platform, freeing up your budget for Netflix. Look for these cards especially during sales or promotions.

5. Consider Alternative Streaming Services

If Netflix’s cost or the crackdown on password sharing is a dealbreaker, explore other streaming services. Platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and Disney+ often offer competitive pricing, unique content, and sometimes even free trials or bundled deals that might be more aligned with your viewing habits and budget.
