The reported reason for this change was in the interest of finding other marketing promotions.  As a representative for Netflix said in a statement: \u201cWe\u2019re looking at different marketing promotions in the U.S. to attract new members and give them a great Netflix experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The promotion is still available in certain countries, but this may very well change.  Competitor <strong>Disney+<\/strong> also removed their seven day free trial prior to the arrival of hit musical <strong><em>Hamilton<\/em><\/strong>, but other services such as <strong>HBO Max<\/strong>, <strong>Hulu<\/strong>, and <strong>Showtime<\/strong> still grant free trials.  Free trial promotions help to draw in customers who are on the fence about whether or not they want to pay for a certain streaming service, so to see Netflix remove such an option is surprising, to say the least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it remains to be seen what other marketing strategies Netflix has up their sleeve to compensate for the lack of free trials, there is indeed a way to watch Netflix content before paying: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/watch-free\">Netflix Watch Free<\/a> site.  Launched by Netflix earlier this year, the site showcases a handful of Netflix content for potential subscribers, such as episodes of <em><strong>Stranger Things<\/strong><\/em> and once wildly popular film <strong><em>Bird Box<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nNetflix will no longer offer a 30 day free trial, reported Variety Tuesday.\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=31795\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Netflix 30 Day Free Trial Offer No Longer Available in the U.S.&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":31796,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6],"tags":[501],"class_list":["post-31795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-film-tv","tag-netflix","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Netflix 30 Day Free Trial Offer No Longer Available in the U.S. - The Cultured Nerd<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=31795\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Netflix 30 Day Free Trial Offer No Longer Available in the U.S. - The Cultured Nerd\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Netflix will no longer offer a 30 day free trial, reported Variety Tuesday.
