Your Netflix\u00ae bill may have just gone up.

On Wednesday, Netflix announced in its third quarter earnings that it's increasing prices on its Basic and Premium subscription plans. Basic plan subscribers will now pay $11.99 per month, an increase of $2 per month, and Premium plan subscribers will now pay $22.99 per month, an increase of $3 per month. Netflix's entry-level, ad-supported plan (its least expensive) remains at $6.99 and its Standard tier plan remains at $15.49. The last time Netflix increased prices was in January 2022.

Depending on your subscription plan, the price hike adds up to an extra $24 or $36 you pay each year to the streaming service. Below, CNBC Select shares some ways to save on (and even benefit from) your Netflix subscription.

Get a credit card that rewards your Netflix binging

Some rewards credit cards offer cash back when you use them to pay a monthly streaming bill. For Netflix loyalists specifically, the Blue Cash Preferred\u00ae Card from American Express offers 6% cash back on select U.S. streaming subscriptions \u2014 the highest streaming cash-back rate we've seen. Netflix is one of the qualifying streaming services, along with Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Peacock, Prime Video, Showtime, Spotify and YouTube.

While you're unlikely to be happy about paying a higher monthly Netflix bill, it does mean you earn a bit more from that 6% cash back. Amex's cash back is earned in the form of Reward Dollars, which cardholders can then use as a statement credit to lower their credit card balance.

Blue Cash Preferred\u00ae Card from American Express

  • Rewards

    6% cash back at U.S. supermarkets on up to $6,000 per year in purchases (then 1%), 6% cash back on select U.S. streaming subscriptions, 3% cash back at U.S. gas stations, 3% cash back on transit (including taxis/rideshare, parking, tolls, trains, buses and more) and 1% cash back on other purchases. Cash Back is received in the form of Reward Dollars that can be redeemed as a statement credit or at Amazon.com checkout.

  • Welcome bonus

    Earn a $250 statement credit after you spend $3,000 in purchases on your new card within the first 6 months.\u00a0

  • Annual fee

    $0 intro annual fee for the first year, then $95.

  • Intro APR

  • Regular APR

\u00a0

And with the U.S. Bank Cash+\u00ae Visa Signature\u00ae Card, cardholders can choose to earn 5% cash back on two bonus categories each quarter, on their first $2,000 in combined eligible net purchases, then 1%. Television, internet and streaming services are counted as a bonus category and U.S. Bank's website lists Netflix as a sample qualifying merchant. Again, you can use this cash back to essentially lower your credit card bill.

Check your phone carrier's offers

If your phone service is T-Mobile, you're in luck.

T-Mobile has a "Netflix On Us" deal where qualifying cell phone plans get a free Netflix subscription. Those who aren't happy with their current cell phone provider should consider this benefit, which not only makes Netflix complimentary but also consolidates your streaming and cell phone bill.

Pause your subscription

A good way to save on Netflix? Stop using it.

Netflix allows you to pause your membership and come back to it. This can give you a break from the monthly subscription if you're looking to cut costs or if you're just not watching a particular show at the moment.

Make sure your Netflix payment is helping your credit

Experian Boost\u2122 is a free service that gives consumers credit for paying certain bills on time, including their Netflix subscriptions (as well as monthly costs like utility and phone bills, rent, etc). If you're going to be paying more for Netflix, you might as well get credit for it.

You just have to connect the bank account you use to pay your Netflix subscription to Experian Boost, and Experian will add your payments to your Experian credit file. Consumers can link positive payment data as far back as 24 months. Experian Boost also includes access to your FICO\u00ae Score and Experian free credit monitoring that alerts you to changes on your credit report, such as new account openings in your name and balance updates.

Bottom line

Basic and Premium plan Netflix subscribers will now pay a little more each month for the streaming service. To help save on this cost, get a credit card that rewards streaming purchases, switch your phone plan to T-Mobile or take a pause on your subscription. And, while you're paying more for it, make sure that monthly Netflix bill is helping your credit with Experian Boost.

The bad news about Netflix pricing is that its price hikes and raises seem inevitable. For all the new shows and movies that the big red streaming machine gets, this is an understandable downside for one of the best streaming services. That said, the cheaper Netflix with ads is here, and it's ... well, not great.

The latest news on Netflix's pricing is the death of the ad-free basic tier. Now, there's just Standard with Ads. If the company will continue to spend, spend, spend on its ever-growing library of exclusive Netflix Originals its subscribers will keep footing the bill. 

On top of that, Netflix is charging $8 per month to add a household, as an \"extra member.\" This is meant to curb account-sharing, one of the Netflix tricks we've previously recommended to get the most out of your monthly payment. And since we're in a moment where it seems many are starved for more Netflix, most people will likely keep paying for the service. 

This is all happening after the most-recent Netflix price hike hit new subscribers in January 2022. Perhaps it comes as no surprise that this led to Netflix announced its first subscriber loss in over a decade. And as we'll detail below, this isn't the only Netflix price increase in recent history.

Netflix isn't the only streaming service raising prices, as a $1 per month increase just hit Peacock. So, let's break down the new pricing, how much of a jump it is off of last year's pricing, and what you get.

Netflix price tiers: what you get

Netflix's most popular plan, the $15.49 per month Standard tier, gets you up to two streams at once in up to Full HD (1080p). It's likely the most popular plan for two reasons. Firstly, the proliferation of 4K TVs and 4K content isn't going as fast as some may want. Also: people may just not need the four simultaneous streams and 4K HDR quality in the Premium plan.

Netflix's rules for downloading episodes on devices differs by your plan. Standard with ads subscribers can't (because ads need to be served live), Standard subscribers get to download on 2 devices and Premium get six (formerly 4).

Netflix also added spatial audio for Premium users.

Netflix price increase timeline: a history of hikes

As you'll see below, in data posted by The Verge, the Premium Netflix tier used to be stable, but since 2017 it has constantly seen the largest jumps of $2 per bump. Standard has mostly seen $1 per month increases, with the exception of 2019's $2 increase and 2022's $1.50 bump.

Nov. 2022$6.99$9.99$15.49$19.99

That kinda makes sense, as Netflix knows its more thrifty subscribers are more sensitive to price increases, while those paying the most likely have more room in their budget.

Over time, we've seen small and large gaps of time between Netflix price increases, and the most recent increase was one of the shortest, at 15 months (the same gap between its 2017 and 2019 increases).

Based on recent history, we wouldn't expect a Netflix pricing increase until fall 2023. It could happen sooner, especially if Netflix's games becomes something it thinks it can charge more for. But for now, it seems like we'll be waiting a little bit before Netflix pricing goes up again.

Your Netflix\u00ae bill may have just gone up.

On Wednesday, Netflix announced in its third quarter earnings that it's increasing prices on its Basic and Premium subscription plans. Basic plan subscribers will now pay $11.99 per month, an increase of $2 per month, and Premium plan subscribers will now pay $22.99 per month, an increase of $3 per month. Netflix's entry-level, ad-supported plan (its least expensive) remains at $6.99 and its Standard tier plan remains at $15.49. The last time Netflix increased prices was in January 2022.

Depending on your subscription plan, the price hike adds up to an extra $24 or $36 you pay each year to the streaming service. Below, CNBC Select shares some ways to save on (and even benefit from) your Netflix subscription.

Get a credit card that rewards your Netflix binging

Some rewards credit cards offer cash back when you use them to pay a monthly streaming bill. For Netflix loyalists specifically, the Blue Cash Preferred\u00ae Card from American Express offers 6% cash back on select U.S. streaming subscriptions \u2014 the highest streaming cash-back rate we've seen. Netflix is one of the qualifying streaming services, along with Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Peacock, Prime Video, Showtime, Spotify and YouTube.

While you're unlikely to be happy about paying a higher monthly Netflix bill, it does mean you earn a bit more from that 6% cash back. Amex's cash back is earned in the form of Reward Dollars, which cardholders can then use as a statement credit to lower their credit card balance.

  • Rewards

    6% cash back at U.S. supermarkets on up to $6,000 per year in purchases (then 1%), 6% cash back on select U.S. streaming subscriptions, 3% cash back at U.S. gas stations, 3% cash back on transit (including taxis/rideshare, parking, tolls, trains, buses and more) and 1% cash back on other purchases. Cash Back is received in the form of Reward Dollars that can be redeemed as a statement credit or at Amazon.com checkout.

  • Welcome bonus

    Earn a $250 statement credit after you spend $3,000 in purchases on your new card within the first 6 months.\u00a0

  • Annual fee

\u00a0

And with the U.S. Bank Cash+\u00ae Visa Signature\u00ae Card, cardholders can choose to earn 5% cash back on two bonus categories each quarter, on their first $2,000 in combined eligible net purchases, then 1%. Television, internet and streaming services are counted as a bonus category and U.S. Bank's website lists Netflix as a sample qualifying merchant. Again, you can use this cash back to essentially lower your credit card bill.

Check your phone carrier's offers

If your phone service is T-Mobile, you're in luck.

T-Mobile has a "Netflix On Us" deal where qualifying cell phone plans get a free Netflix subscription. Those who aren't happy with their current cell phone provider should consider this benefit, which not only makes Netflix complimentary but also consolidates your streaming and cell phone bill.

Pause your subscription

A good way to save on Netflix? Stop using it.

Netflix allows you to pause your membership and come back to it. This can give you a break from the monthly subscription if you're looking to cut costs or if you're just not watching a particular show at the moment.

Make sure your Netflix payment is helping your credit

Experian Boost\u2122 is a free service that gives consumers credit for paying certain bills on time, including their Netflix subscriptions (as well as monthly costs like utility and phone bills, rent, etc). If you're going to be paying more for Netflix, you might as well get credit for it.

You just have to connect the bank account you use to pay your Netflix subscription to Experian Boost, and Experian will add your payments to your Experian credit file. Consumers can link positive payment data as far back as 24 months. Experian Boost also includes access to your FICO\u00ae Score and Experian free credit monitoring that alerts you to changes on your credit report, such as new account openings in your name and balance updates.

Bottom line

Basic and Premium plan Netflix subscribers will now pay a little more each month for the streaming service. To help save on this cost, get a credit card that rewards streaming purchases, switch your phone plan to T-Mobile or take a pause on your subscription. And, while you're paying more for it, make sure that monthly Netflix bill is helping your credit with Experian Boost.

As we continue to add more TV shows, movies, and games and introduce new product features, our plans and prices may change. We also may adjust plans and pricing to respond to local market changes, such as changes to local taxes or inflation.\r

\r

Here are the answers to some common questions about price changes:

\r


How will I be notified of a price change?\r

\r

If your price is changing, Netflix will send you an email with details about the price change one month before the billing date on which your price will increase.\r

\r

You can also go to the Billing details section of your account to verify your billing date and your plan price.

\r


What if I didn't see the email about the price change?\r

\r

If you didn't see the email, please confirm that the email address associated with your account is correct.

\r


Where can I compare Netflix plans and prices?\r

\r

You can compare our current plans and pricing and change plans any time.

\r


Can I keep the old plan price?

\r

The new plan prices will apply to everyone once a price update is announced.
