I just wish they had gift cards in the shops, like most of their rivals.

Why what difference would that make ?

The numbers willing to pay £7.99 a month must be dwindling.

Off the top if my head. Aside from the obvious reason of giving a gift to someone for birthdays, etc, there are many people who don't want to use a credit card. For example, because they dont like giving out their card details or they find it easier to budget if it's not coming off automatically "out of sight". I've read numerous accounts of people losing track of subscriptions and paying for things they aren't even using anymore because there's no regular act being actively performed thst reminds them. And of course, some people don't, even can't, have credit cards.

And Debit Cards aren't always an option either, some services like AppleTV+ bizarrely don't accept Debit Cards. They even block certain access unless there's a credit (not debit) card in place as a verification procedure e.g. you can view TV+ on Apple devices and their Apps with a gift card payment but not on a web browser, which requires a credit card in place.

Give it a few years and this said tier will be the price of the current sub which by then will likely be doubled.

I don’t know if that’s true, but it is certainly the case that the reduced-fee ad-supported version will encourage a lot more people to watch it. There would be more still if the ad-supported version was free.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

it depends on how many ads they throw at it and where they are. Before shows is one thing but during shows if to frequent is just not satisfactory.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

Almost certainly, it would be during show and before shows. That’s what the commercial TV Players do now.

Just as i said would happen Netflix have announced price rises for UK customers.
The basic and standard plan will both increase by £1 a month to £6.99 and £10.99. The premium tier will go up by £2 to £15.99.
The price change is immediate for all new members, while existing members will be notified by email 30 days before they come into effect. The streaming giant then confirmed in its statement issued today: "We offer a range of plans so members can choose a price that works best for them."

I wonder how long before they put up the prices for Turkish subscribers hahaha

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

That's the one i use lol £3.20p/m for the top tier.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

Netflix is going have to be very careful with these price increases whilst I don’t think will see the masses cancelling I do believe you’ll see a considerable amount downgrading packages.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

Agree i think with the way cost of living is spirralling the likes of Netflix need to be extremly careful.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

TBH if it wasn't included in my Sky package I would be ditching it altogether at the price

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

I think they're being shrewd getting in their price rises now. The later they announce it, the less disposable income people will have and so more likely they would be to cancel.
