GET40OFF

I received this email from Getflix. I am a member but I only participated in the trial (no active subscription). They are offering 49% off the yearly subscription and a further 15% on top of that if you FB like from the subscription page.

To claim this offer, simply login to your Getflix account and go to the "Subscription" section here: https://www.getflix.com.au/manage/subscription

Click on the "Promo Code" tab and enter the code GET40OFF to claim your discount.

Once the code has been applied the normal calculation will give you a 40% discount, however, liking us on Facebook through your dashboard will give you an additional 15% off over your new price.

You can now subscribe for 12 months at 49% off using either PayPal or your credit card!

AFAIK this is one of the top Smart DNS providers with servers in AU. For those that don't know, it's a simple way to trick geo IP locked websites into thinking you're from the country they intend you to be in.

Channels supported: https://www.getflix.com.au/channels/overview

Setup: https://www.getflix.com.au/setup/overview

Prices without discount: https://www.getflix.com.au/pricing

I don't know if this works for new memberships. Worth trying.

edit: If you are a new member, the total yearly after the FB like seems to be about $24 compared to the $18. This is because users who signed up before the price hike get an additional discount. Getflix prices went up a few months ago and if you signed up during that time they promised to grandfather those rates.

    I have been using them for about a year and love it.
    Just set and forget. Set the DNS in your router, then you can use Netflix and Hulu anywhere in your network without any issues. (Except Netflix with Chromecast, haven't got that to work yet…)

    • Jenny Jingle on 21/11/2014 - 21:44

      My Netflix —>> Chromecast works no probs. Never had any issues since I brought CC earlier this year. Casting via any device works for me.

      Chromecast is set to Google's DNS built in. The link below will show a workaround.
      Getflix is great, never had an issue and setup is well explained.

      Just be aware that if they wanted to (I get no dodgy vibes from them at all and do it this way myself, because roku) they would have the ability to change where you go if you type in paypal.com or bankwest.com.au or whatever they like. Hopefully your browser would be smart enough to see something is wrong or you are checking for security certificate before logging in.

      But anyway getflix works great, I gave foxtel the boot.

      • OzJD on 22/11/2014 - 11:05
        +3

        They wouldn't have a certificate matching something like Paypal.com. so if they modified it, they'd have two options.

        1. Break the chain of trust (browsers wouldn't continue, they'd lose a lot of business)

        Or 2. Proxy the trip to Paypal through their servers (pointless as they can't see anything)

  • schmuppet on 21/11/2014 - 21:51

    I imagine this offer was prompted by the Netflix AU announcement.

    • Vladdo on 21/11/2014 - 21:57
      +3

      Still can't imagine that netflix au will have the same breadth of content as the US or UK.. then again, i didn't honestly think that netflix would be in australia til hell froze over..

      • schmuppet on 21/11/2014 - 22:18
        +5

        The risk for Getflix is that Netflix do something serious about blocking access to the US service once their AU one is available.

        • Vladdo on 21/11/2014 - 22:31
          +2

          Try find some forum posts of UK netflix users before it was introduced locally.. and see if they've been denied access to the US site..

          @Vladdo: Nah they haven't in fact they turn on and off the dns service to get different content. Netflix would most certainly no they are doing this and obviously don't care.

        • bunnikins on 22/11/2014 - 00:02

          @Vladdo: In Canada they have limited content compared to US and they still allow you to connect via VPN to US. My friend does that!

      Hulu codes on ebay cheap, not Netflix any more, they stopped selling gift codes.

      • maybeamacy on 22/11/2014 - 13:26

        Do they work the 1 year ones on ebay?

        • No on 22/11/2014 - 14:08

          I bought one in May from some guy in Poland. It was $29.95US and its still working.

          However I wonder if hulu gives more adverts if you have a 12 months membership. I am sure I went from 2 ads per break to 3.

          Can anyone on the monthly subscription tell me if they usually get 2 or 3 ads? Thanks

    • Flyerone on 22/11/2014 - 13:33

    They're trying to get everyone to sign up for a year before NetFlix opens in Australia. I was on Getflix but moved to DNS4me which is about to go out of the free beta and start charging.

    • Axelstrife on 21/11/2014 - 22:01

      They already have i got the email few days ago.

      • OZB Al on 21/11/2014 - 22:12

        Email I got said:

        Regarding subscription costs for our services moving forward, to say thank you to all our wonderful Beta account users, you will get a discounted base price of A$2.49 per month if you subscribe within the 30 Day trial period. New accounts will be priced at A$2.99 per month. We will also give a 15% lifetime discount for Facebook likes and up to 20% extra for long term subscriptions.

        I see AUD $23.90 with DNS4me, Vladdo paid $17.64 with Getflix above.

        • Axelstrife on 21/11/2014 - 22:19

          Have not used them myself.

          There are low ratings for it on the Shareware On Sale website, but I'm not sure if that's because of issues with the service or the fact people struggled to understand it's a service and not software (despite being stated on the page).

      • parkies on 21/11/2014 - 22:09

        Are you a new signup?
        I'm wondering if people that are on the free trial period don't get the stacked discounts.

        • x-ray on 21/11/2014 - 22:11

          yes new sign up

          So that's two existing customers, Vladdo and Holden, that have had the full stacked discount and 2 confirmed new signups that haven't.

        • stonedewok on 21/11/2014 - 22:15

          Thanks OP, great deal!

          I also got $17.64, been a member with the FB discount for a while

    • fryandlaurie on 21/11/2014 - 22:12

      Are you a new customer or existing one? I think if you signed up a while ago you got lower prices as they fixed the cost (as they were about to increase the price). I don't have FB so I just guesstimated the extra 15%. Will update OP if new customers are getting less.

    • Vladdo on 21/11/2014 - 22:19
      +1

      I was a customer before they had a price hike, therefore got a small additional discount.

      • fryandlaurie on 21/11/2014 - 22:20

        Yep, this seems to explain why some newer users are getting about $24 yearly after the discount. It's still a good price.

    • systmworks on 22/11/2014 - 12:08

      Same here. So if you are a new signup, there is no point liking them on Facebook, as the other 40% promo code is the maximum discount ?

      • dazweeja on 22/11/2014 - 16:57

        I believe it's $28.44 for new signups without the FB discount.

    • Toddich on 08/12/2014 - 10:47

      Just signed up then and I couldn't stack the 15% ontop of the 40%. They did thank me for liking their facebook page though…

  • vlahka on 21/11/2014 - 22:02

    It's great that it lets you cycle through each netflix region for the alternate channels they offer. However does this thing work for any country to unblock? Or is it just for netflix and other US stations specifically. As good as this is I'd probably go for something that lets me access every region of the world. ie accessing greek stations that are locked to everyone overseas. Thats if I understand how getflix works.

    • Vladdo on 21/11/2014 - 22:18
      +1

      Getflix does some tricky with DNS calls. As in, it masks your location to the service you're trying to connect to. Unless it's on the channel list, DNS calls are the same as those made by your ISP. It's not a VPN like service where you can select your geographical location from a list.

      Unless it's on this list, it'll be unavailable.. https://www.getflix.com.au/channels/overview

      • vlahka on 22/11/2014 - 01:21

        Thanks for that. Guess I'll stick with my original plan on getting a VPN once my useless NBN is installed sometime this century.

        • johnno07 on 23/11/2014 - 13:26

          Keep in mind that using a VPN can be (and often is) EXTREMELY slow for streaming video. Getflix is much faster for this.

  • snuke on 21/11/2014 - 23:12

    Does anyone know if a subscription will stack?
    I have 193 days left on my current 12 month subscription from the last deal when they introduced annual payments. If I subscribe again for a year with this deal, am I somehow signing myself up for two consecutive annual subs, or will it simply add another 365 days to my current 193 days?

    • fookos on 21/11/2014 - 23:20

      Perhaps try it and let me know! ;)

      I've got about the same time left on my subs so keen to know the answer too.

      EDIT: sorted! Back over 550 days! Was $17.60 for me too.

    • deeevan on 21/11/2014 - 23:41
      +1

      I've had well over 365 days on my subscription, so I think they stack ie. Purchasing an additional 365 days. I signed up for the annual sub 6 months ago but then added a second account. I was asked if I wanted the group discount as a refund or additional months, I took additional months.

      Good deal (old plan + FB like + annual sub + group disc + promo code = $13.18!) but I'd think I'd be crazy to take it up… I've got 327 days left!

      • snuke on 21/11/2014 - 23:45
        +3

        Results = Status Active Credit Card (559 days remaining)
        So yes it stacks.
        Easy choice for another $17.60.

        • Whatisthatvelvet on 22/11/2014 - 08:55
          +1

          Had a quick look at this. Am paying via PayPal. Says I have to cancel PayPal first so can't stack?

      • OzJD on 22/11/2014 - 11:22

        Tell me about the group discount? I only have $14.04/year

        Edit: Oh, found it! Requires you to own 2 or more accounts for 25% discount.
        That would reduce my cost to $10.53!

  • Jatacid on 21/11/2014 - 23:43

    Just so you know, Netflix had a press release only yesterday that they're planning on releasing in Australia in March 2015.

    Granted they will likely have a much smaller selection due to Foxtel still having exclusivity rights. But it means that USA netflix might block our credit cards.

    • stringbean402 on 22/11/2014 - 11:41

      lol… why would they block foreign subscribers, were paying customers, they know and couldn't care less, it's all revenue to them.

      • Jatacid on 23/11/2014 - 13:37

        Business reasons. They want to show higher subscriber numbers in the Australian accounts. Probably make more money off the Aussie ones too.

    It will be interesting to see if Netflix Australia will effect services like these.

    All the other Netflix countries allow you to 'travel' with your account, which is why services like this work. What's a bet that pressure is pushed on Netflix to either charge a much more exorbant rate by Australian distributors, or prevent the travel ability. I do know Netflix are well aware that a huge portion of their users are Australians geo dodging.

    At any rate, I'm looking forward to Netflix coming here and sticking a rod up all the local distributors who are used to price gouging out services.
