As a former member that cancelled my membership well over 2 years ago, I was surprised to see email from netflix yesterday.
After reading through it a 2nd time, I noticed the domain for signing up was something other than netflix.com, and I began thinking that this was some clever phishing attempt. I then looked at the raw message data, to find that the email originated from mx-mktg.netflix.com.
Ok, so I checked it out further and it was legit , but then realizing that I'd actually have to sign up for their service again to get the free month, it seems appropriate that the email originated from an address with marketing in its name. Honestly, don't you already get a free trial period when you join? Where exactly is the benefit here? Am I supposed to trust that they will be cooperative when I try to cancel 30 days after I join? And why do I get the burden of having to remember to cancel?
This whole thing smacks of a marketing campaign to try to snag former members into coming back.

Was that the one with Kylie Minogue? :)
