Purchased Netflix subscription with Bitcoin

[alkaline]

I saw the site netflix4btc.com advertised and gave it a shot, despite not being able to find any reviews or other confirmed successes.  At first I thought I'd been scammed, because the Netflix code was not e-mailed to me in the immediate hours after I sent my Bitcoin (which is what is advertised on the site), but about 8 hours later, I did get a code, and the code did work at Netflix for a full year of Netflix.

I found this forum after I paid:

Apparently if you're not from the US, you may have some problems with his codes, unless you know how to make your streaming ip appear as though its coming from the U.S., so be forewarned.  However, for U.S. customers, you should have no problem using his site (just don't expect the code to come instantly as advertised).

I'm writing this, because when I thought I had been scammed, I was prepared to write a condemnation of the site, warning others not to go there.  I figure it's only fair that I write a good review given that the Netflix code he sent worked. My only standing criticism is that he clearly advertises: "Quick delivery straight to your email after 1 bitcoin network confirmation", which just wasn't the case with my purchase.  Nevertheless, I'd recommend it, great deal!

I wonder how they deal with bitcoin/dollar exchange rate crashes. Does the subscription price constantly change so it is still a fixed dollar value? It would be a nice commiseration after a crash to get half price netflix, but I doubt it works like that.

It's a pity it only works hassle free for US residents. I'd like to give it a gobut I dont live in the US and it sounds like too much hassle to try to trick the system into thinking I am. I expect the service ill be extended to the rest of the world if it is a succes and I suppose I will have to wait until then.

Just use a VPN to change IP. There are free solutions already.

It only costs $95.88 for an entire year of netflix in the US and you can buy one for $25 of BTC?

Be very wary of purchasing these gift codes. They are typically purchased with stolen credit cards or stolen accounts. Netflix cancels the subscription when the payment for the gift code is reversed.

Thought there would probably be a catch. How much do yearly memberships normally cost?
