In my original review of NetFlix.com, the DVD rental company that provides delivery to your home, lets you keep the DVD's as long as you want, with no late fees, and allows you to always have DVD's around to watch when the mood strikes, I praised a program that had three openly admitted catches.
1. No movie credits may be rolled over from month to month. Each months rentals including your initial free rentals must be used during each 30 day period or forfeited.
2. You can only have 4 DVD's at a time; selections after the first 4 are released on a one for one basis as selections are checked back in or returned.
3. Regular rate of $15.95 per month will begin to be charged to your credit card after the 30 day free trial is over, unless you cancel your membership first.
According to the e-mail I received from Marc Randolph, the founder of NetFlix.com, the first of these catches has been eliminated. As long as you remain an active member of NetFlix.com, "you can take as long as you like to use your Free Rentals. And it gets even better. Not only can you now "roll over" any unused rental credits from your initial month into your second month, but now ALL your unused rental credits will automatically roll over every month.
I believe this raises NetaFlix from a four star to a five star rating. Their only real restriction now is only having 4 DVD's at a time. (Having to pay can hardly be considered a serious restriction.)
Just think of all the wonderful movie epinions you could write with delivery of DVD rentals to your mailbox......
********************************************************************
Effective immediately, there are no extra charges for more than 4 rentals per month! That means for one low price get as many DVD's as you want delivered--the only restriction, only four can be checked out at a time.
This offer is a boon for serious flick addicts!
