I did. My story:
1st Netflix CSR: nothing she can do, I have to wait 6 to 8 weeks.
2nd Netflix CSR: agreed to send me my eligible confirmation, but all he sent is only my account information for netflix
3rd Netflix CSR: did same thing as first one.
then
1st UA CSR: told me to wait 6 to 8 weeks or contact Netflix, would not transfer me to a supervisor, but promised he will follow up on this.
2nd UA CSR: told me to contact Netflix, he said I should talk to a supervisor in Netflix. After I insistd to talk to a sueprvisor, he said all supervisors were busy at meeting. I have to call back later.
then
4th Netflix CSR: Told me he could not send me email about my eligibility, as it contains sensitive market information. But he resent my info to united for escalation my case.
I wonder if it worth so much effort. I will cancel by end of 2nd month memnbership, no matter I get it or not.

For what it's worth, I've tried a couple of experiments, so which I've had netflix for full two months and more, but there were all a colossal fail.
I like netflix anyway, and I'm still subscribed to it (just one subscription now), so it's no real loss to me. I'd move on from this though, the 4000 never posted even after the full 8 weeks.

Depends as not sure about your situation. If you are a definite 1st timer than no problems getting 4k even without going to CS.
If it is not your 1st time then as you can see justing reading a few pages back that it varies ALOT. Some can and some can't no matter if its for the 4k or even the 2k.

When you say first time, does that mean in regards to the card? I am a current member, I want to get the 4k miles though and use my sapphire pref card. I can open a clean cached browser, and my current billing is through my AMEX card so it's never once hit my sapphire pref. Think I will have much of a problem?

I just signed up for a family member who has never used netflix. It gave her a 30 day trial. Does that mean the miles won't post until after the trial and she becomes a paying member? I'm confused why she got a 30 day trial when everyone else is getting charged the first month and getting the miles within a week. Definitely used the link from the first post.
