US Airways 2011 Grand Slam Promotion - Netflix

A few years ago I had netflix. If I renew it with the Grand Slam will that count as a hit or is it new customers only?

New customers only.

BUT it's pretty easy to get a hit as they don't ask for your address if you do streaming-only. So use a different e-mail address and credit card than the one you used before. Netflix then has no way of knowing you're not a new customer.

(Ethically I wouldn't feel bad about it in this case, since if it's been several years you really kind of are a new customer)

Don't forget though, that you have to keep the subscription at least six months. And it looks like that may be enforced this year. If you cancel before six months, ALL of your GS miles will be forfeit, even ones earned on other hits.

Also I'm assuming you've never had a netflix account assigned to a US Airways DM number. If you've gotten a US Airways bonus before, you can't get one again to the same DM number.

Here are three posts from last year on ways folks got around the "new customer" angle with Netflix. I cannot say if they will work this year, but this was what was reported as working last year. Good luck!

(The links all look the same, but each goes to a different post.)

Does anyone know if "gifting" a subscription counts? E.g. I could gift my mother a 1-disc subscription. I'm a current customer, but she's not...

Does anyone here think putting one's account on indefinite hold (after the first billing) constitutes cancellation?

I was thinking the same. We could also un-hold it before the 6 month check so that US would see that it's still Active.

Anyone knows if I could get a hit for a new netflix suscription from Argentina?

Netflix has been offering the service in some south american countries since last week.

what do you think?

Follow the link and subscription process as outlined starting on the relevent US Airways Dividend Miles web page (http://www.usairways.com/en-US/dividendmiles/earnmiles/gifts.html#Netflix). If you can subscribe for service in Argentina via that mechanism, you should get 1,500 signup miles and the resulting Grand Slam hit.

Does anyone know if I can sign up for Netflix DVDs by mail only? I've been using my parents' streaming subscription (which I almost never use anyway), but I do miss having DVDs by mail. However, when I use the US Airways link to sign up for Netflix, it brings me to the signup for a one-month free trial which is only for streaming. DVDs can be added to that for an extra $7.99, but I don't see a way to do DVD only. I'd hate to just do the streaming and pay over $48 for a hit.

I assume you can sign up for DVD-only, but I don't know. I'm replying to direct your attention to details, like the one in the T&C of the promo that say you sacrifice all the miles you earn in GS if you cancel a subscription placed for a hit within 6 months. In other words, you will be paying at least $48 for the hit. Though if you want to subscribe to Netfilx DVD-only anyway, I suppose you could say that's a no-cost hit.

You can change your preference to DVDs. I think there is a drop down box. Look carefully - it is there.

I was going to sign up for Netflix anyway so I did through the US Airways site. I don't think I will get a hit though because they don't start billing until after the first free month. I assume this means the activity date won't be until the end of November. Can someone confirm this?

After I signed up I phoned and tried to not have the free month but they said they can't charge me for the first month. Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks

Netflix post with the activity date of the day you originally signed up. They post the miles a few days after they charge your credit card.

From last year: 10/8/2010 11/16/10 NETFLIX MILEAGE AWARDS 1,500

Thanks for the heads up. I did sign up for the free trial for streaming-only, then when I created my account I simply changed it to DVD-only. Worked like a charm. Let's just hope the hit comes through.

I tried signing up through the US Airways site. The link worked and it redirected me to a Netflix page where I'm prompted to enter my US FF account but when I click the button to sign up, I get the following error message:

Page Not Found
The requested page /notfound does not exist. We will try to automatically redirect you to our home page in 10 seconds.
Please go to the Netflix home page by clicking the button below.

Then, it redirects me to the Netflix home page where I'm offered a trial membership. I could sign up for that trial membership, but I'm afraid I won't get miles for this membership since it appears like their standard trial membership.

Did any who got the miles went through the same process?

Has anyone seen these miles post as a hit yet? I signed up on Sept 14, but have not seen it post to my US account yet.

I'd be following up with the vendor on that - I think there might have been an issue with your registration (the miles should have posted on 10/18 or 10/25).

Has your credit card been charged?

When does the activity date count for Netflix...I see they want to do a one month free trial. Is it the signup date (today) or when the card is charged...12/6 (too late)?

See post #1 in Other Partners (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/2011-grand-slam-promotion/1253538-other-partner-hits-not-shopping-mall-master-thread.html)for this information.

Any ideas, thanks
Yes. The answer is given or linked to at least twice in this very short thread. You can still do the Netflix hit.

Did you get the "Page Not Found" message after entering your DM number?

I just got off the phone with netflix. I signed up for the referral with the same name, new credit card, new email address.

They told me that my netflix IP address and usage pattern was the same as <my name> and since this is a duplicate sign up I will not be getting the points.

Now to scramble for a last minute hit. Yikes.

I have no reason to believe I will now be getting these miles. I haven't seen mine post, and today would have been the absolute lastest I think they could post. There goes a free hit... oh well, that probably cements me at sticking to just 12 hits this year.

Hmm. Now that 21st century quote really is looking like insurance...

Oh well, one more rental car churn this weekend. I was hoping to keep my rental for the weekend, but not now.

Account 1: My account was set up on 9/26 with a new credit card, new email, and a new name...we activated the account using the same IP address that we had previously used for the recently cancelled account in DH's name. MIles posted fine on 11/2.

Account 2: Set DH up with a new account on 10/8, It has not been activated yet as we plan to gift this one, so it is not associated with an IP address yet. New credit card, new email, same last name but using only the initial for the first name. We have not received the miles yet, but I was not expecting them until Nov. 14th or 15th.

The credit card billing address is the same for both new accounts and for the one we cancelled.

Who thinks we are safe for account #2? We have enjoyed Netflix for years but have never reaped the benefit of a mile bonus from them.

*We did receive a "welcome" email vs "welcome back".

I think I'm just going to call Netflix tomorrow and ask when I can expect the miles the post. If they say it's eligible, I can take the rep at their word and trust it will hit. If they say it's not, I'll cancel the account and get a hotel transfer hit for around the same price.

I'm one of those people who likes Netflix but doesn't really miss it that much when it's not around ...

Update!

Miles posted today! I feel like Christmas came early!

I use the same IPs, signed up with new email, and also with a slightly different name. Have never used my DM number before for netflix promo. Signed up on 10/3, billing hit on 11/2. Miles posted 11/8

My suggestion is do not call. It can only make things worse, as a person looking at your account will likely see things that their filter misses!

What was your activity date? Still no post for our second account with an activity date of 10/8.

If you signed up on 10/8 you won't see any miles yet. They need to end the 1 month "free" trial, and charge your card. Today/Tomorrow should see a charge on your card and the start of your first paid month. The miles should post soon after, with the correct activity date of 10/8.

I've edited my post to include my dates.

I am a little worry about my Netflix hit. Shows pending charge today. I used my nick name (first name), same last name, different credit card number and email address but same IP address.

Would I see it before November 13th? If not, I better do a hotel stay.

Even if it doesn't come off pending before the 13th, according to http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/17367501-post14.html , the activity date is the original order date and not the billing date, so you should be fine even if it posts way after.

By the way, has any Canadian got US Airways 1,500 Bonus miles posted with the Netflix signup? Any other offer with higher miles? With United there appears to be a 2,500 miles signup bonus so hoping someone might know of a higher signup for US.

Last minute Netflix signup for the 32nd hit. The confirmation page doesn't mention anything about miles and my phone call, now going on 30 minutes, isn't helping out much.

They keep asking me for a 'promotion code'. :mad:

I don't think it does/will. As long as you were prompted for it on the very first page you should be good. There are some hidden values being passed along between the various forms that presumably track back to the FF# you enter on the first page.

In normal times i wouldn't have bothered. The last day of GS 'ain't no normal times'. :D

Called back an hour later and within 5 minutes it was verified that all info was properly recorded. Only two problem children left.

What day of the week does Netflix post?
My credit card was charged on November 9, 2011.

I just did NEtflix this morning for last minute safety hit. Wasnt eligible for promo (from cancelled account from last year), so card was charged today. I also did a SPG transfer as a back up safety hit. I am worried about 21st century, and points.com which is "under review"

Riversair- I don't think you will receive anything from Netflix. If you are charged right away, it means you are not a new customer. Hopefully you don't need a safety hit.
You should receive the hit for points.com. mine was under review for over a week.

After you enter your DM account, it will redirect you to Netflix to sign up for a trial offer. The US Airways logo will remain at the top right corner.
The GS is over but for future reference, one way to know for sure if you signed up correctly is to call Netflix and ask them what promotion did you sign up under. I did it and they were able to quickly tell it was a US Airways promotion.
Also, the company that runs the referral or loyalty program for Netflix is the same for all the airlines: DBG. At the bottom of the first page where you enter your FF, there are a few small links at the bottom of the page in case you have problems signing up or need to contact them.

Had you bothered to actually read the post you're referring to you would see that I did call and they were completely unable to let me know if i was signed up under any promotion.

A second call an hour later resulted in talking with a competent individual who, in a total of 5 minutes, confirmed what i wanted.

How long are we supposed to keep these accounts open again until we can cancel without risk of losing the miles? Has anyone cancelled their account already?

I hope not -- May 14, 2012 is 6 months after the end of the promotion, and is the date you can start cancelling stuff.

I can't wait for this. I just can't believe how lacking in content Netflix is. I guess I've always believed the ads that it had everything I wanted.

More than that i am bothered by the way they come up with suggestions for you or they categorize and the movies. Plus, their search engine sucks! My pal is telling me that they spend a lot of money to come up with this cr@p..

Missed hit 40 because Netflix has yet to post.
Customer service is no help.
Fucck!

Which customer service did you talk to? A year ago when I did the United netflix offer and I got only half the miles I contacted both Netflix and United customer service and kept getting bounced back and forth between them until finally I talked to someone from netflix that was very helpful and got the miles posted.
