You all convinced me to cancel! Unfortunately we just made this month's payment and Netflix doesn't provide partial credit, so we'll wait until a day before our next payment is due. Amazon and Redbox here we come!

we cancelled netflix bc we just don't have the time anymore. plus i couldn't justify that expense on rentals. if we ever want to rent a movie–we usually do Redbox. Do you have those in your neighborhood? 99 cents a movie. and you can reserve online.
we now spend about 99 cents every month or two on rentals. one time i forgot to return it and they charge you every day, so i spent $3 but that was still better than netflix.

I'm glad I don't own stock in Netflix. They've gone downhill fast. I cancelled my DVD plan and kept streaming when they jacked up their prices. If you have Redbox or the blue Blockbuster Express kiosk near you, sign up for their email or text alerts and you'll get a handful of free rentals every month. That's how I satisfy my new movie cravings (assuming I didn't see the movie at the dollar theatre).

Keep us posted on your Amazon experience as it's something I might consider.

My Netflix account has been on hold since just before my son arrived ~5 months ago. There's no time for movies anymore 🙂

We just cancelled our Blockbuster Express because we never used it, we don't miss it at all.
