Immediate $8 charge. I'm fairly sure that's how it's supposed to work -- the free trial membership looks to be an indication that something went wrong.

FWIW, I just did another Netflix offer other than United (US Airways), and unlike the United offer, it gave me the free month. I'm not holding my breath that the miles will actually post.

i have had a netflix membership in the past, but I cancelled it.

Today I signed up for the 4000 miles promo, being cautious to be incognito.

I used a different computer (not at my home) to avoid any IP issues
I used a different email address, and a different CC I have never used before, and I used my old United mileage number.

The transaction processed, and all seemed to go smoothly, until I got to the Netflix landing page and it said "Welcome back, <my name>"... Welcome **back**, shouldn't it just be "Welcome"... How did it know I was already a member before?

Can anyone confirm the old UA membership# (11-digits) is still working now or not? It seems the new membership id can be repeatedly used in this promotion from lw7878's post.

Did you sign up for streaming only?

got miles even with welcome back message

I have done several netflix trials for both UA miles and Skype credits, for some of them, I got the same welcome back message, but the bonus did posted after that.

I wouldn't worry too much about the message.

On a tangent, has anybody signed up for the equivalent AA offer for 2500 AA points?

https://aa.netflix.com/offer.jsp?src=nflxaasolo2

I already got my 4K UA miles posted. For AA, I used a new email, new CC, and even another address. AA points haven't posted.

Did AA a few days after UA, both posted within a week or so. New email and CC, but what are you talking about with an address? Streaming only = no address.

Yeah, you're right, I don't know what I was talking about. I'll wait for my AA pts.

Can the additional user on a UA card use the card (same number) to get the netflix miles. Assuming the original user has already used the same card before.

Probably not. Apparently, people on this thread have reported not receiving the bonus for using the same CC

I am planning on signing up for this promotion but I did sign up 2 years ago with my CO FF # and canceled in Feb 2011. Now that my UA FF # is numerically the same as my old CO FF #, will I have an issue getting the bonus miles if I sign up with that same (now UA) FF number but use a new CC, new email address and new physical address?

4000 miles just posted for me, as well. I used my Priority Club Visa. Thanks for the tip.
