More about the Netflix Free Trial

The Netflix Free Trial is currently 2 weeks long, during which time you can rent as many movies as you want during that period. You will be able to rent 1, 2, or 3 DVDs at a time, and like a regular Netflix membership, you mail back (for free) the DVDs you’ve watched to receive your next selections. You gain access to 100,000 available DVD titles at Netflix, and have the option to cancel membership whenever you want. Of course, if you do not cancel during the trial period, your membership converts into a regular Netflix membership, which is currently available at 3 levels.

1 DVD at a time for $4.99 (limit 2 a month)
1 DVD at a time for $8.99 (unlimited)
2 DVDs at a time for $13.99 (unlimited)
3 DVDs at a time for $16.99 (unlimited) 

Special Feature - Watch Movies Instantly!

On top of being able to rent DVDs by mail, if you buy an unlimited plan (starting at .99) you are entitled to watch movies INSTANTLY on your TV as many times as you want, as long as you have a Netflix ready device, which you may already have. Netflix ready devices include common devices such as Playstation, Xbox, or Blu-Ray players, along with other devices.  If you do not have a Netflix ready device, you can still watch these movies over your PC or Mac. This service is a great bonus since it gives you access to 17,000 titles, and is completely free as long as you are signed up for an unlimited plan.

How Netflix Works

By being a member, you select DVDs you want to watch using the website. Typically, you will receive your DVDs in one business day, and you can keep the selection as long as you like. There are never any late fees. You simply return the movies when you are done watching them, and your next selections are sent to you automatically.

In addition, members can enjoy 17,000 movies streamed for FREE, which can be viewed on your computer or on your TV through the use of a Netflix ready device.

Netflix is biggest online movie rental service in the world, and provides movie fans a convenient and low-cost way to enjoy unlimited movies every month. The Netflix free trial is a great way to see what membership has to offer for 2 weeks with no risk.

The Blockbuster Free Trial is a 2-week trial of the Blockbuster By Mail or Blockbuster Total Access Program, which are probably the two best online DVD rental program you can take part in. We recommend it over all other DVD rental programs (including Netflix) for many reasons.

What Blockbuster Offers

With Blockbuster Total Access, you get many benefits which are not included with other programs:

• You receive 1 – 3 DVDs at a time through the mail.
• Unlimited DVD rentals – This means you can send back DVDs by mail and receive new ones as often as you like throughout the month.
• Turn in and exchange DVDs by mail or at a store location – In-store exchanges are free, but you can also return the movies by mail (free shipping) and wait for your next movies which usually arrive days later. This way, you are not forced to get DVDs only through the mail or only through the store, as you would with other rental services. Instead, you have the opportunity to reap the benefits of both.
• No due dates or late fees – You never have to worry about returning the rentals on time, and you can keep a DVD that you received in the mail as long as you like.
• Over 90,000 titles to choose from – Only Blockbuster can offer such a wide selection.
• Quick Delivery – DVDs that are placed in your queue are typically in your mailbox within 1 or 2 days.
• You may terminate the subscription whenever you want.

In almost every way, the Blockbuster Total Access program beats traditional DVD rental programs. For one thing, it is a lot less expensive than most programs assuming you rent more than 2 or 3 videos a month. But the most powerful benefit of the Blockbuster program is that it combines the convenience of renting DVDs by mail with the ability to exchange DVDs at the many Blockbuster stores nationwide. There are not any other programs out there that provide the ability to do in-store exchanges, since Blockbuster is the only video company nationwide that has the number of stores to make an in-store service compatible with a national DVD-by-mail program. 

More About The Blockbuster Free Trial

Membership begins with a 2-week Blockbuster Free Trial, then converts to your chosen paid membership at the end of the trail period unless you cancel.  We recommend trying the 2-DVDs at a time Total Access subscription, which comes with 5 in-store monthly exchanges.
