Netflix.com charged for free trial fraud overdraft fee Los Gatos, california

I just took a look at their Terms Of Use page and Netflix told you that an authorization for about one month of service would be placed against your account. They go on to say that if you cancel, the hold will be released and if you don't cancel they will submit the actual charge.

Netflix doesn't owe you any money because it is YOUR responsibility to make sure you have enough funds available in your account to cover the Netflix hold and your utilities bill.

Here's the direct quote from the Netflix Terms OF Use webpage:

"Free trials are only available to first time customers of the Netflix service and cannot be combined with any other offer. Only one free trial may be redeemed per household. You must have Internet access and a valid credit card or debit card ("Payment Method") to redeem a free trial offer. Upon registering for your free trial, your Payment Method will be authorized for up to approximately one month of service. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect the authorization; however, no charges will be made against the Payment Method unless you do not cancel prior to the end of your two-week free trial membership period."
