If that is the case, then it may be the cheapest deal yet? Use virtual credit card number, and sign up several times. For example, sign up 10 times, will cost about $79.99 and you get 25,000 AA miles

Any holes in the approach above? Problems, Issues that will come up if attempting to do multiple registration with virtual credit card numbers?
You will probably need a different address for all of those virtual cards since they do ask for your billing address. In the T&Cs there is something about only one offer per address.

YMMV I think the problem will be to get multiple bonuses into same FF account.

I had signed up for myself for a subscription that I still have, and then signed up for a new account as a gift for a family member. I used a different mailing address (the family member's I gave this to), my name on account, and my FF number, and a different cc. I did not get the second bonus. I assume this was because I was trying to credit the same FF account that had received a bonus a few months prior.

Wow that was quick.

As I said above, the Netflix T&C says they will only post 1 bonus per AA account. Do they enforce this? Who knows. I have a feeling even if you switch up cc's and addresses and email addresses, they will look at the AA #'s that the bonuses are posting to.

Can you create 10 different AA accounts and then combine them? Maybe, haven't tried.

Why the rush? Enjoy the free downloads for a few weeks, as they won't rebill for a month from your initial charge.

If you deemed the hassle worth it, I'm sure you could get away with a couple or maybe three accounts, but AA would likely take issue if you pushed too far. Getting the bonus for multiple family members might be easier (just be sure to use different addresses, emails, credit cards, etc.)

I already have my main account for that, this one was purely set up for the miles so I figure I should cancel now before I forget and get billed for another month.

None, assuming you have 10 different addresses to use...

It keeps giving me a 30 day trial. Is that the same as all the rest of you? I went through the original link and entered my AA number but then no mention of anything the rest of the way.

That didn't happen with me. Doing the 30-day trial will disqualify you from the promotion, though. Not sure what to tell you to do.

The system see's you as a past member, same thing happened to me. It had my old address from years ago and even when I tried to sign up with a new address/phone number, etc it still sent me to the free trial. It's a welcome back trial too...

This is up for Delta now at 2500 miles, too. Unfortunately, I keep getting the 30-day trial screen (previous subscription) even though I cleared cookies and tried some tricks to get around it.

The funny thing is that T&C say to enter a Dividend Miles number . . .for miles to post to your SkyMiles account! Mmm. . . maybe that is the trick I need to get my SkyPesos here!

Log out, and clear cookies if you wish, though I don't think they're detecting dupes with cookies.

If you want to make sure you aren't detected as a duplicate, make sure you do all of the following:

1) Use your real name (there's no way they de-dupe on this, as there are probably hundreds of Tim Browns, all different people).

2) Use a backup/different email address than you used before. If you don't have a spare that you are sure you didn't use previously, then just create a new one. Takes just a couple of minutes with Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc., and is free.

3) Use a different street address than you used before. If you aren't going to have them mail you DVDs, then it shouldn't matter what address you use *as long as* it passes the address verification check (if they do one) AND it hasn't been used by someone else in the past. Know an old couple down the street who would never bother with NetFlix? Well, there ya go!

4) Use a different phone number than you used before. You could make one up, but probably best to make it unique.

5) Use a different birthday and security questions/answers than you used before. If you are really worried about account access later, record them, but it really shouldn't matter if all you plan to do is cancel once you get the bonus points.

6) Use a different credit card/payment than you did before. If you used a credit card the first time, consider PayPal this time. If you don't have multiple credit cards, pay a friend $10 to charge $8 to theirs!

7) Don't use the same FF# from the same airline you've used in the past. That's a sure way they can detect dupes (not sure if they do, but would be easy/logical for them to). If you've received a Delta bonus before, do AA this time, for example.

Anything I missed? I don't think you need to go nearly to this extent... I didn't, and I've been able to get multiple bonuses. I just wanted to do a run-through because there are multiple people claiming that the system keeps recognizing them and I'm sure that if you follow all my steps that would solve your problem.
