Netflix grew by nearly 16 million global customers in the first three months of 2020 — adding to its already robust customer base, which was estimated to be 207.6 million at the end of March 2021. The streaming service offers an ever-growing library of entertaining content in over 30 languages, spanning 190 countries and endless genres.
Members can watch their favourite rom-com, docuseries, or horror flick from anywhere, at any time, with new releases every month. Netflix is even forging a new path with award-winning original content. It’s no wonder people can’t get enough.
However, members pay anywhere from $9.99 to $18.99 per month to access the service, adding up to around $119.88 to $227.88 per year.
Fortunately, some of the best credit cards in Canada offer cardholders cash back or points for these purchases specifically. Being a couch potato has never been so rewarding.
