[quote name='jamehze']I guess you could, but your credit card information is on there since they charge you every billing cycle. I don't remember the details, but there are more slots open since Netflix is a separate app. I think they do 6 activated machines at one time?[/QUOTE]
Do you know if there are alternative billing cycles, such as an annual payment for netflix, rather than monthly?
Edit: Might be able to with this:

I'm gonna check it out with friends at the moment and see. If it doesn't need monthly billing info, I'll put up gamesharing details and let people know if it works.
Note: All gifts come out to $7.99/month, so no discounts on more time.
Oh, and another issue may be bandwith allocation. If someone goes over bandwidth streaming movies, will be the home account responsible due to the internet service provider, or the netflix account, since that is what would be using it? I'd like to say the home account, which would help giving accounts to others as well. Anyone like to confirm?
Final Report: K, so the gameshare system would technically work, but the subscription model means that it could be renewed past the gift amount if it's still in use and does not cutoff, which would lead to problems. And as nsync points out below, there's also no way to enforce the upping # of devices, as the limit could be passed. So I have to pass on gamesharing the netflix account right now.
