It's been a loooooong time since I've posted here but I was perusing the board and stumbled across the thread and thought I might be of some assistance. I didn't come up with the following solution but it's effective and worth sharing. I hope it works for those of you who want to sign up for Netflix at $15.99.
So you're new to Netflix and you want to get the $15.99 deal? No problem.
Using IE, follow these instructions. It might be easier if you clear your cookies and cache before doing this. Have fun. Hope it works for you guys. Enjoy Netflix!
1. Make sure you've hit the main default page of netflix
2. Now, close all instances of IE
3. Go into your cookies folder and find the file which says
[email protected][#].txt (where somename is something like your login account name). Your cookies folder is usually in C:\\Documents and Settings\\somename\\Cookies.
4. Open that
[email protected][#}.txt file with notepad or any text editor.
5. Find the line which says "custProps".
6. Right below the line, update to "219~1~6~". The 1 is the $15.99 deal. 2-6 are the other "bad" deals.
7. Lastly, save the file and exit Notepad. Launch IE and go to the nextflix main page again.
