January is the generally the best time to pickup gift cards and apparently gift subscriptions to services such as Netflix. I think the reasoning is that tons of people get gift cards and subscriptions they don’t want and hawk it on ebay.
I was a bit skeptical about buying a gift subscription to Netflix for 1 year (3 dvds out at a time) but apparently feedback was good for the majority of sellers on ebay. Most 12 month 3 dvds at a time gift subscriptions sell for $170 (which is about $14 a month). You’ll save some cash if you’re already a Netflix subscriber or interested in joining. I found a mispelt auction title and snapped one up for $150 (more on potential savings in mispelt auctions in a future post).
So my Netflix subscription for the next 12 months is costing me a cool $12.5/month for unlimited 3 dvds out at time. The only downside is you pay you essentially pay your subscription dues upfront, but if you have the cash, the potential savings are worth it.
Don’t you carry around a bag?
huh?
