Well if that ain't the damnedest thing.:laugh: It generated a one time use mastercard debit card. I'm now signed up with netflix.
MSCoder saves the day!:thumbsup:

Once again thankful that I don't need credit and proof that living without a credit card is easy.

😕 Having a CC would have been easier.

You just spent 3 hours on an internet forum asking weird questions instead of just going to netflix and typing in a credit card number. I'm going to have to say that using a credit card would have been much easier. Anyways, to each his own I guess...

Actually I spent about 20 minutes on the forum altogether and I rather enjoyed it. Would a CC have been easier? Probably.
But if I had to do it again I would do it the same.

I went with the cheapest one that lets me watch unlimited streaming movies. I think it was $12. I have no intentions to actually get movies in the mail.
Now if I can just figure out how to search the streaming search part of it. Something is eluding me here.😕

You'll find that most movies aren't available to stream, so you'll still be getting them in the mail if you want to watch them. Especially the big blockbusters.

At your netflix home page, click the "Watch Instantly" tab at the top to see streamable movies. either watch them immediately or add them to your queue ("your queue" tab, then "instant" tab)

Oh well, whatever dude. Glad it worked out for you.

It might have had the name mastercard but I didn't have to deal with the CC companies schemes and there was absolutely no fine print...or ANY print.

You come off as a person who easily believes in conspiracy theories.

They are as protected as a credit card....

Debit cards aren't covered if someone gets the card and starts using it. Credit cards are covered for this.
Using paypal is admittedly a compromise of sorts but I can keep small amounts of cash in my paypal account and it takes 3-5 days for an echeck to go through which gives me enough time to stop any major transactions should an "event" actually occur.
This method is very effective and to date it has been both perfectly secure for me.

good luck getting a car loan.

I don't borrow money. If I want to buy something I save and buy when I have the cash.

So buy the time you actually save to pay for house, at the price you will have to pay for one, will you be able to waltz up to the realtor with $800k+ greenbacks in a briefcase?

 

[Kelemvor]

Best thing to do is get a Debit Card that is also a Credit card. It's tied directly to your bank so it's really not like using credit. As son as you buy something it comes right out of your account but as long as you use it like a Credit Card (don't enter a PIN, sign our name, etc) you are fully protected.

Paypal doesn't protect you at all. They say they do but then when you file a claim they say "We agree with you but can't get your money back. Too bad".

 

[TruePaige]

Wait, is someone seriously trying to claim Paypal is LESS evil than a Credit Card company?

...0.0

I wouldn't absolutely rule out credit but as a general rule I just don't do it.

You're not going to pay cash for a house. Unless your one of ATOT's many millionaires.

Plus, any time you make a major purchase like a car or a house, then run a credit check. Simply paying your bills on time and paying cash for everything does not build a credit history. Oh, its great for budgeting and keeping yourself out of debt is a great thing, but the responsible use of a credit card is fine.

Back to the original topic, most legit, decent services will want a CC/Debit card. They are more secure than Paypal and offer much more reassurance to both Netflix and the financial institution issuing the card. If you can already afford the service, just use the CC for Netflix and pay it off every month. Not a big deal.

And debit cards are afforded the same protection as a credit card.

It's true, paying your bills, not being in debt are all well and good but it does nothing for your credit. It took me years to get a credit card. I applied many times and was always refused because I didn't have any credit. WTF? How are you supposed to have a good credit history if nonone will give you credit? It was crazy. I had good jobs, too, at least sometimes. Finally, I was given a credit card with minimal monthly credit and slowly worked my way up. Inasmuch as I have never had any ambition to run up my credit cards I have mostly not cared what my credit limit was. My only concerns with my cards now are what I can get in terms of rebate % and how I get it. Some cards are sort of a PITA with all the things they try to get me to sign up for. I just say no to that stuff. I always pay off my monthly balance and just set up autopayment from my checking account.

For some of us the reward of paying our bills is not so that we might have good credit but so that we can live debt free.

Well, duh, I don't care about my credit. It's never done a thing for me. I have been debt free my whole life and I like it that way. My credit might come in handy some day but I'm not counting on it. I really don't think that way and I have problems understanding people who do, and I realize that most of America does live that way, just not me. I suppose I never will.

Well, for those of us who want to get a mortgage..or an auto loan, or even a cell phone plan without a security deposit, it helps. 😛

also auto insurance generally use credit as a rating factor, so having good credit can lower your insurance premium.

For crying out loud all I want to do is watch a movie people.:laugh:

I don't care if you like credit or not.., but I have yet to pay any finance charges and I could cash in my Amex points for $150 in Home Depot gift cards. My Chase card had a $50 statement credit after first purchase, and I could've bought a PS3 for $250 ($150 credit via Sony CC) several months ago but I decided to pass.

Credit cards are tools- just like anything else, when used properly, they're great. When abused, not so much.

My point is that you're not going to profit from a credit card. If it provides me no profit & temptation then why should I bother?

I'll be thinking about that very point when I'm on my totally free flight to Hawaii next week courtesy my airline mileage CC. For the record I've never paid finance charges on any of my cards.

Keep fighting the good fight.

 

[Adul]

at least he isn't being bent over by the CC companies 🙂 good for him. I personally don't ever use a credit card either.

If a credit card provides you "temptation" you are a dumbass.

I have made over $1000 in cashback profit with my citi dividends card. I have never paid a finance charge because I pay my bill on time every month. All it takes is not being a dumbass.

Its okay to admit you have horrible credit
