Netflix has just announced it's own Netflix Card, offering a pay-as-you-go-a-like service for any of its three tier subscriptions.
Coming in three flavours - £15, £25 and £50 - you can get your binge-viewing on without needing either a credit/debit card or a PayPal account.
Just scratch and sniff the code on the back of the card and add it to your existing account or start afresh.
You can use it on any of Netflix's streaming plans; so if you want to get a quick fix of 4K fun for your brand new Ultra HD tele you can get it up and running in a trice. The cards can be picked up in the usual places, like supermarkets and newsagents, making them widely available with more being added over the next few months.
It's a smart move by Netflix; its free trials are all well and good - they're free after all - but how many of us have gone through the process of signing up for a free month of some funky new service only to have stalled at entering our credit card details?
This no-strings-attached approach may be more enticing for a lot of people in terms of their trialling of the service afresh.
Though inevitably there are some slightly stringy things.
The £15, £25 and £50 values don't match up neatly with the prices of the different subs tiers, so you will end up with money left on your account which wont be enough to buy you another month of viewing.
So you buy another card to top up, just this once...it's a waste otherwise, right?
