Netflix now charges PHP 149/month for extra members outside a household

Netflix continues its crackdown against password sharing—including in the Philippines.

Netflix updates its sharing policy

Monthly fee for extra members

In a statement, Netflix said emails will be sent starting today to its members who are sharing their accounts outside their households.

A Netflix account is for use by one household. Everyone living in that household can use Netflix wherever they are — at home, on the go, on holiday — and take advantage of new features like Transfer Profile and Manage Access and Devices, the company said.

If you will be sharing your account with someone outside your household, you will be charged PHP 149 per month.

Consider changing your password

If you don't want additional fees for you, the profile can be transferred to a new membership that they will have to pay for.

We recognize that our members have many entertainment choices. It’s why we continue to invest heavily in a wide variety of new films and TV shows — so whatever your tastes, mood or language and whoever you’re watching with, there’s always something satisfying to watch on Netflix, the platform said.

According to the plans and pricing of Netflix, the standard and premium plans have the added feature of adding extra members. See below:
