do they take payment from your credit card or do you m

Answer 1

love Netflix...

Depends on where you live as to how long it takes to get them...I can sed one back on Mon and have the next one in my mailbox on Wed.

I watch the free ones online, most of the newer releases are not avail to watch online yet, but they have a good selection anyway.

The monthly fee comes directly out of my bank acct(cause i used my debit card), but u can use a credit card, it works the same, and u can cancel anytime, no penalties or restrictions

Answer 2

The online movies don't count as one of your movies per month?

Answer 3

the movies arrive fast depending on where you live. if you're in a big city, it normally gets to you the day after they receive it. somewhere smaller, it may take a few days more.

the free streaming movies are great, but they only work on PCs. they don't have everything, but enough that you'd always be able to find something to watch.

and yes, they take credit cards.

I've had netflix for about 3 months now and I really love it. When you create your account you get to put as many movies as you want in your queue (there are 2 queue's. one for online movies and one for shipping movies). The movie literally does arrive the next business day. There are different plans too. For example you and choose to get your movies one at a time, 2 at a time, 3 etc. This limits how many movies you recieve per shpping not per cycle. The shipping is free and you just return the movies in the same envelope you recieved the movies in.

Now the online streaming thing is pretty darn amazing but it's limited mostly to indie flicks, documentaries and oldies. in other words, their online library is no where near as vast as their regular library. but I highly recommend looking through what's available. I've found some amazing indies on there. Sometimes you'll find popular tv shows (all seasons) available to watch instantly (like Heroes)

You can watch as many movies online as you like. All you have to do is download and install the streamer. Just make sure you're connected using high speed internet.

I have had a really good experience with netflix. I find the customer service to be amazing (and it 24hrs so if you have any other questions i recommmend you give them a call.) You can cancel your account at any time if youre not satisfied, but i know you will be.

oh and i'm almost positive you have to use either a debit or credit card. They just charge you whatever the amount is every month.

Answer 5

We've had Netflix for several years now, and it's been great, I really recommend it.

It depends on where you live as to how long it takes what you send back to arrive, but once they ship a new movie it usually arrives in one day. For us, it takes three or four days for us to get a new movie, from the time of our sending off the old one.

The free streaming movies are available for you to watch at any time on your computer. You need to have Internet Explorer 6 or above to watch them, they don't work with Firefox, but that's not a very big deal. It's good if you have a steady internet connection, because otherwise it might stop and adjust the streaming based on the slower connection speed that just came up. But anyway, it loads at the beginning of the movie (it only takes a few minutes) and then the movie just plays. They have an OK selection, there's a lot of older stuff on there, but there's also some newer stuff. It's really just an added bonus. You can also buy some thing that you hook up to your TV and then you can download instant movies onto that and watch them on your TV, but I would browse their selection and make sure there's enough stuff you want to watch before you get that.

Sorry I'm not sure about payment, but they probably charge your credit card? I don't remember ever getting a bill from them.
