    Default Netflixs gift codes not as common as before........

    I was searching the web for any gift codes for sale, last time on ebay there were heaps now there are only a few and these will send you a new account rather than a gift code. Anyone got any recommendations on locating some of these?

    Last time I think we got a 12mth subscription for $22, and if my memory serves me right I think it was Admin who drew our attention to this.

    You will not find codes anymore.

    what you will see is people offering 12month accounts which they sell to 10 - 20 people on one account with there credentials, even if you change the password they can reset it as they are the primary email holder.

    these accounts get shut down after 3 months. so really not worth the $22.00 dollars there selling them for.

    Yes you will if you look hard enough.

    I am yet to see this on Netflix though I have seen it on Hulu Plus. In fact I have a shared Hulu Plus account, purchased on Ebay that is still working and about 8 months old.

    They dont get shut down as most sellers simply offer them as shared, thats shared between 2 people which is what is allowed by both Netflix and Hulu, a maximum of 2 logins at the same time regardless of location.

    myf360f1, here are a couple of sales for you :

    $30 USD


    and

    More expensive but obviously cheaper than $96 a year.


    The first looks alright.

    So you telling me the seller is profiting by selling 2 subscriptions only as shared hmm, lets do our maths admin 7.99 x 12 = $95.88 + ebay fees + paypal fees to transfer funds to your normal bank account. Yet these seller are doing it for the love to help people out and loose money at the same time

    i.e shared account which you posted at USD$30.00. can you please explain the logic?

    I can tell you there is more than 2 shares in that account, try like I said before 10+ world wide they rely on people from different parts of the world not to be on at the same time.

    another way they do it is 2 shares $60.00, they purchase 2months worth $15.98, and the USD$44.02 they pocket out of the $60.00 x that by 20 sales in 1 days = $440.10 by the time 2 months are up its to late for paypal dispute.

    Ok so I would like to share my experience today buying these codes. I wasn't fully comfortable buying a shared code so I followed one of the links posted by Admin (thxs) and found this guy
    His original advert had postage additional because he would post the gift card, thinking that only US citizens would buy these, but after some discussions offline I made him aware that people outside the US would be interested and that postage would not be required, simply emailing the code would be sufficient. He subsequently changed his advert to include postage and he accepted offers, so I placed by offer at $27 USand he accepted, so that converts to $31.35 Aussie for 12 mths.

    Billygoats you have confused your self with 12 months subscription code - which the seller send you in a email and you log into your netflix account and put your gift code in - this method is A1 and you are the only person with it

    12 month subscription accounts are already created accounts by the seller so you have no control over how many people log into that account the seller can resell it to multiply buyers and you all put the same email addy and password.

    and as you said if you cannot afford 96 dollars for 12 month subscription then get off centre link and get a job or give up the crack pipe

    Its a shared account, he clearly states that. If you didnt want that, you could buy from any of the other seller links I posted. Not real hard is it? Billygoat pretty much summed it up.

    Had a chat to the seller last night, apparently Ebay didnt like his advert so they shut him down for a while. Code I received worked great, put into Netflixs and it showed me as having $96 credit.

    At the end of the day your not saving millions but $60 saving will pay for Fish and chips on Friday night for the family (Kids rapt), a treat for the missus (favourite drink) and all going well a guranteed good night for me....lol

    Yeah..you can add a gift code before expiry but it will not show up until the first one has expired. I added mine a month ago but my current one does not expire until the end of this month. Nothing shows in account window except a few highlighted words at the bottom of the page saying you have unredeemed gifts...I expect it will just switch over when the last monthly payment is taken out in a few weeks...I entered the code last month and it accepted it OK but no real confirmation except those few highlighted words. I used a UK seller and Netflix US accepted it fine.

    Mandc is correct, I've also added gift codes and they are used when the old one expires.
