Netflix raising rates for Blu-ray subscribers by around 20 percent {Engadget}

Mar 30th 2009 2:43PM Actually, it doesn't appear that we are grandfathered in. This Netflix blog post suggests that the new fees will be applied to existing accounts, too, starting next month:

"If you have added Blu-ray access to your account, this change will take effect on your next billing date on or after April 27, 2009. You will also receive an email from us letting you know the monthly charge for your plan. (Members who do not have Blu-ray access today and add it to their account in the future will see the new prices as of today.)"

Netflix raising rates for Blu-ray subscribers by around 20 percent {Engadget}

Mar 30th 2009 2:28PM I'm getting the same message, so it appears that current customers who are already paying the $1 surcharge will not have to pay the higher rates.* That's good news, and should be featured more prominently (both in this story and in the eventual Netflix press release/blog post on the subject).

* Unless this is a mistake, and Netflix ends up "correcting" it when it becomes public knowledge.
