Netflix has recently begun offering free trials to users across multiple regions. Based on the reports we now see across Reddit and X, the duration of free trials varies by user, ranging from 7 to 30 days. However, several people suggest that if you open Netflix in an incognito window or clear your browser’s cookies before trying — or use a new browser altogether, you should be able to get the maximum duration, which is 30 days. Perhaps the only thing you need is a new email ID that has never been used on Netflix before.

Netflix’s recently updated support page says the company “is offering a limited free trial to eligible new members in certain countries.” However, given the breath of reports, we suspect it’s available to anyone who tries to set up a new account. You would also be required to add your payment information, which means you’ll be charged automatically if you don’t cancel your trial within 30 days.
What is a little annoying to some users, however, is that the free trial is seemingly available everywhere except the US and the UK. Despite that, many people appear to have conveniently activated offers by deploying VPNs, so it’s still worth a shot even if you are in those locations.
This isn’t the first time Netflix has offered a free trial, though it’s been quite some time since it last did so. According to What’s on Netflix, the company discontinued 30-day free trials sometime in 2020, possibly after the rise in viewership during the COVID pandemic.
