You know how all your friends and your away-from-home college students are currently using your Netflix credentials? Netflix knows it, too, and is testing a new way of allowing account sharing, but for an additional fee.
The streaming giant is currently testing a pair of new features that, while enabling memberships outside the main account household, will also add a little surcharge.
The “Add an Extra Member” feature allows those on Standard and Premium plans to add “sub accounts” for up to two people living at a different address (think friends, distant relatives, or your student studying at Harvard). For an additional $2.99, these sub members will get their own ID and passwords, profiles, and personalized recommendations.
