Netflix tip – How to get new releases every single time!

I’ve been a Netflix subscriber for years now and I’ve discovered some tips to get the most out of the service. As other subscribers know, it’s generally a very long wait to get the hot new releases. I once waited over six months to get the “40 Year Old Virgin.” But I found a way to get the these new DVDs everytime.

The key is understanding that while new DVDs are released on tuesdays, Netflix actually ships them out on the previous monday. Thus, if you send in as many movies as you can on friday (or saturday, depending how close you are to the return center) you’ll almost certainly be in front to get that hot new release.

I’ve been using this technique for about a year now and it’s worked every single time.
