Netflix adds “extra home” fee, will block usage in other homes if you don’t pay

Users who share accounts with people they don't live with will have to pay an extra membership fee. The extra member fee of about $2 to $3 per month was implemented in some countries, but will not be implemented in other countries.

Customers who share accounts will be charged a different type of fee. The new one requires customers to pay for "extra homes" and will be charged starting August 22 in Argentina.

If your account is being used on a TV outside of your home, you'll have to pay an extra fee. The fee will not be automatically charged when someone adds an extra home, according to the pricing page.

There is a fee for each additional home in the Dominican Republic. The fee in Argentina is about 17 dollars a month. An account-sharing fee is expected to be rolled out by the end of the year, according to reports.

For the worldwide roll out of the service, it is not known if it will standardize on a single fee, offer users a choice between the extra home and extra member fees, or create some other option. The company will not make changes in other countries until they better understand what's easiest for their members.

The ad-supported tier will be added to the current ad-free plans.

“TV will be blocked unless you add the extra home”

If you haven't used your account in that location before, you can watch on a TV outside of your home for up to 2 weeks. This is allowed once every year.

The two-week grace period will be available for customers who sign in outside of their home.

Customers will have to pay a fee if they want to avoid being blocked in other homes.

The option to review which TV or TV- connected devices are using your account by location will be added to the user account pages. Signing out of a location will allow the device to be signed out.

The number of extra homes users can add will be limited. Premium subscribers can add up to three extra homes, Standard subscribers can add up to two extra homes, and Basic subscribers can add up to one extra home.

The Basic, Standard, and Premium plans are available in the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. There are different prices in the US. There are limits on how many people can watch at the same time, but they are based on the number of screens rather than locations.
