Netflix announced the day before that it will charge an additional amount to those users who share access to their account with people who live outside their household.
SIGHT: Netflix will charge an additional S / 7.9 for each user who does not live in the same house
This new policy would be part of a pilot plan, which will be carried out in three Latin American countries (Costa Rica, Peru and Chile), which will seek to gradually introduce new tools in the service, the main one being the possibility of adding extra members to the membership. , even if they don’t live in the same house, but yes, paying an extra cost.
This measure seeks to curb those people who do not pay for their subscription, but use the service from another address other than the one linked to the main account and pay the bill half with the owner.
How much is the additional cost for password sharing?
The company will charge an additional S/ 7.9 in Peru for each user who does not live in the same house as the account holder.
With the new option to “add an extra member”, Netflix users with Standard and Premium plans will be able to add accounts for up to two people with whom they do not live. Each one will have their own profile, personalized recommendations, login and password.
How many people can watch Netflix at the same time on a single account?
The plans that Netflix offers today allow different numbers of devices within a home to play content from the platform at the same time: 4 with Premium, 2 with Standard and 1 with Basic.
As long as the devices within the plan belong to people in the same household, they can watch as much as they want, anytime, anywhere.
But with Netflix’s recent announcement, now Standard and Premium plan members can pay extra to add an “extra member” sub-account for people outside their household (up to a maximum of two sub-accounts).
Can family members/relatives who do not live with me use my account?
No, Netflix stipulates in its contracts that the subscription you pay for is for people who live together in the same household, for example, on the same property.
In Peru, members who share their Netflix account with people outside their household can now add an “extra member” subaccount for an additional S/7.9.
