Netflix Tests Limited 30-Day and 15-Day Free Trials for New Subscribers
Netflix has quietly reintroduced free trial offers for new subscribers, including 30-day and 15-day options, after discontinuing them several years ago. The trials appear to be part of a limited test available only to select new users, with no official announcement from Netflix. Existing or returning users are generally ineligible. This move may aim to attract first-time subscribers amid increasing streaming competition, though availability varies by account and region.
