Hi, my mam and dad can't watch Netflix with this extra £4.99 per account malarkey. Is there any workarounds, or do we just bite the bullet? I know people say cancel, but they like watching it, and it seems we've used up our "codes" when we tried selecting traveling a few weeks ago, so seems we can only use that trick once cheers.

Log in on your home wifi
However, there are two solid workarounds to this policy you can roll with right now. First, as mentioned above, devices that connect to your household wifi are good to go in Netflix’s eyes. So, if you can, head over to the house of whoever’s account you use, sign in on your device or devices, then go home, and you should be able to watch without issue. Perhaps Netflix will require you to reconnect at some point, but since the change is so new, we’ll just have to see how that works out, and how long you might be able to keep watching. (At the moment, there’s nothing in the Help Center about needing to verify your location after a certain period of time outside the household.)
I have a turkey sub with 2 other hotuk members and ours still works as normal from multiple locations across the uk
My colleague sat next to me though has a UK sub with his dad and it's been blocked.
