Netflix Offers 23-Cent Credit After Outage

The company offers a 3% rebate on its $7.99 a month plan after going down Tuesday.

Netflix has apologized for its several-hour outage on Tuesday -- by offering users a 23-cent credit.

The site e-mailed users that it will credit 3 percent of the $7.99 monthly unlimited streaming bill, which equals about 23 cents.

If all of Netflix's 20 million subscribers were affected, it would cost the company $4 million.
