Netflix, Save money you are already spending!

Netflix is a site where you rent DVD’s. You create a list of what you want to see and then select your package of how many DVD’s you want at a time. Then Netflix sends you the first DVD, or more if you chose, on your list and when you view it you send it back in a prepaid envelope and they send you the next DVD on your list!



Netflix is great for avid and not so avid DVD watchers. They have everything from fitness to sports, romance or action, oldies, new releases, TV shows, kids and family, and so much more! They have almost every movie you could ever want to see. And there is no limit to how many DVDs can be on your list! I have over 500 on mine.



To make your browsing easier they have included a top 100 list and a rating system. Every time you watch a movie you can rate it from one to five stars. Then they take that rating a give you recommendations on movies you might like. The more you rate the more recommendations you get.



Also when you add a movie to your list, they show you movies like it and with the same actors in them. When searching the site you can search by movie, by actor, by theme or by keywords.



They also have an option where you can link to your friends on the site and send them recommendations for DVD’s you think they will like. Also, each member of your family can have their own section to rate movies and get recommendations so each family member get personalized recommendations too!



Netflix gives you a free, two week membership when you first sign up to see if you like it! You can cancel at any time threw out the membership. You also never have to pay late fees. Keep a movie 3 months and don’t ever worry about it!



Netflix sends you the DVDs free of shipping charges and includes a pre-addressed envelope for you to send the DVD back in so you don’t pay shipping. Also they have excellent customer service if you ever lose a DVD in the mail or find one broken!

But don’t take my word for it, here is a member’s words:



“I am so addicted to my Netflix! I have over 400 titles on my list to be sent out and I really get my money's worth I pay $16 (the 2 movies at a time package) a month and I view probably 20 or so a month! Cheaper then renting! It's great! They have everything from old ones, to new favorites, TV shows and fitness to documentaries! I strongly recommend it!

The smallest package is $5.99 a month, no late fees and you get a 2 week free trail!”

So give Netflix a try if you already haven’t, it’s a great site and comes strongly recommended.
