Netflix question

So I am probably one of the last people in america to sign up for Netflix. I want to but I have a question as to their billing cycle. Specifically they currently have a 2 week free trial. The first 2 weeks are free and then you get charged. Today being the 5th if I signed up the charge would by all logic happen on the 19th which is cool. My question is on the next months billing would I be charged on the 5th because that is when I signed up or on the 19th because that is when they last billed me? I pretty much would like to insure that I am being billed in the latter half of the month. Can anybody enlighten me?

I actually have no idea. I can tell you that it comes out of my account around the 19th of every month, so I assume it would be the same for most customers.

It depends on when you sign up. Mine gets taken out the 8th of every month, the same day of the after a month when I signed up.

It will be the 19th. Otherwise they would have to charge you half a month's fee on the 19th of April to ensure that they wouldn't be overcharging you come the fifth. And they don't do that.

My billing date is the 19th. Looking at my shipment history, I think I signed up for the two week trial around the 4th or 5th of the month. So, the billing date would correspond with the end of that trial.

What sucks for me with Netflix is that mail from either of the two nearest distribution centers takes about 2 days each way. So, if I return my movies on a Monday, I'm lucky to get new ones by Friday. Anything sent back Wednesday or later in the week and I'm waiting until after the weekend for my copy of Solarbabies: Criterion Collection to arrive.

I need to get NetFlix. I'm really tired of Blockbuster and Hollywood Video, and their ridiculous rental rates.
