This wikiHow teaches you how to sign up for a free Netflix trial. While Netflix generally requires you to pay for a subscription, your first month with Netflix is free, and you can cancel your membership before the end of the month to avoid paying. Keep in mind that you cannot legally obtain a free Netflix account for more than one month, though you can technically create multiple accounts for multiple free months if you have several different payment methods.
