HOW TO JOIN NETFLIX PREVIEW CLUB

So how do you get in?

Netflix says it’s an “invite-only opportunity” offered to members – and there’s no cost to join.

You’ll be pre-selected based on two criteria:

Your viewing behaviour
How long you’ve been a Netflix member

BONUS WAY TO WATCH

Netflix says that there's a third way to watch preview content...

“While the primary account owner needs to join Netflix Preview Club, screenings can be enjoyed by everyone you live with,” Netflix explains.

“Regardless of their age (just remember that everyone who watches must keep the information confidential).

“Each screening invite includes details about the show or movie, like a plot summary and estimated rating, so you can make informed choices about who to watch with.

“Sometimes, we specifically encourage you to watch with certain types of people, such as kids, when we have an animated show or movie available.”

There’s no way to request membership, and there’s no telling exactly how to game the criteria to join.

If you receive an email to join, it will only come from one of the following two addresses:

If a Netflix invitation in your inbox doesn’t come from those email addresses then you’re being scammed.

You may also receive a notification in the Netflix app.

When you follow the invitation link, you’ll be sent to a website hosted by Alida where you’ll be able to complete the joining process.
