How to Manage a Netflix Profile

There is a "logic" to the Netflix delivery queue. The availability options are "Long Wait," "Short Wait," "Now" and "Releases on 00/00/00/." These options tell you when the title will be available. If you manage your profile the right way, you can get the movies you want with the least amount of waiting.

Instructions

    • 1

      Add 20 or more titles to your queue. Assign an availability option to each one. Click "add" to add a title to the queue.

    • 2

      Organize the list so any titles set to "Short Wait" or "Long Wait" go to the top.

    • 3

      Add as many titles as you can to the "Save" list. These are films that are not yet in the Netflix system, but will be within the next year. The earlier you add a title, the closer you are to the front of the line when that title does get to Netflix. As soon as any title comes out of the "Save" queue, move it to the top of the "Short Wait" or "Long Wait" queue.

    • 4

      Push the titles in the "Save" list around so the films with the earliest release dates are on top. When the title finally ships, it will be removed from the list and the next one will take the top spot.
