Get Netflix cheaper - SEE OP FOR DETAILS

Xcellor

Updated 20/03/24

(1) They seem to be nuking accounts with payment cards issued from outside the country of origin.

(2) While voucher payment on regions that accept it seems to work, some users have here and elsewhere reported these accounts getting nuked too.

(3) If nuked you may lose the money you paid out, a charge back may need to be started. In the case of an account paid with voucher your goosed. It's probably best not to stack vouchers and instead top up as required.

(4) Turkey currently is the cheapest option with payment via vouchers. You may or may not be geo-restricted and have to use a VPN to watch, user experience differs. Elsewhere it's been reported the geo lock lasts for 30 days.

(6) Other cheaper regions like Nigeria don't accept vouchers and you are very likely to be nuked soon after setting your account.

(7) Password sharing is another area where user experience is different. Some people report no problems, others do. While there is a technical workaround via a private VPN it's probably beyond most average users.

(8) At the end of the day, your mileage may vary and if you set up a non-Irish account do so knowing it could end at any time and you could be out of pocket.


UPDATED 24/1/21
if you do not have an irish subscription to netflix then sign up to an Irish sub. It can be any plan as you'll be asked for a choice of plan when you move. You must do a month of Irish sub first.

- enter the payment method you wish to use when you move to your chosen country ( turkey is the cheapest) bear in mind some banks block cards being used abroad unless they are notified in advance.
- enter a genuine mobile number on netflix for account recovery
- cancel subscription
- when your subscription has expired ie nothing plays then sign out of all devices and get a vpn that works for the country you want to use (vpn unlimited works for turkey). This could be a month away.
- check your ip is working using a site like https://whatismyipaddress.com/
- go incognito and search netflix and enter your details and click renew, choosing which package you want.
- turn off your vpn
welcome to cheap netflix. You do NOT need a VPN to watch it. The programme choice will be the same as a reg irish account. You do NOT need to know any Turkish.
IF you still see prices in USD etc when your VPN is on, then your VPN is the problem. Nord VPN seems to have issues. You may need to use a different VPN to sign up

Plans range from 17.99 TL to 41.99 TL a month


Quick and dirty FAQ here - anyone want to amend or add to it?

Q: What’s this about cheap Netflix subscriptions?
A: Yes, if you purchase and/or setup renewal of Netflix in another country using the likes of a VPN, you’ll then pay for Netflix in that currency.

Q: What’s this VPN deal-i-o?
A: Essentially it’ll spoof your IP Address to appear that you’re in another country. There are many paid ones and free ones - including HolaVPN.

Q: OK.. I’m with you. I’m an existing Netflix subscriber in Ireland - what do I do?
A: You need to cancel your recurring subscription on the Netflix site, then wait it has lapsed, and then re-activate using a VPN.

Q: I haven’t subscribed to Netflix yet - what do I do?
A: How’s life been in that cave for the past 10 years? You could subscribe with your VPN open, or subscribe without (to UK/Ireland) for a month and follow question above essentially.

Q: OK, I’ve subscribed now - what do I do with the VPN? Leave it open..
A: If you’re using HolaVPN.. GOD NO… disable it / remove it / take it out back and shoot it in the face. You’re set up your recurring payment, you don’t need it anymore.

If you’re using a paid VPN, you don’t need it to browse just because you’re set up payment in a different country. Disable it to access UK/Irish catalogue and / or enable it if you want to access say Netflix in another country. If you know how to do this, you’ve probably no need to read this FAQ!

Q: Hold on, I was charged €3 last month and was charged €3.40 this month.
A: Remember, you’re paying in a foreign currency so it will fluctuate - but it should still work out considerably cheaper.

Q: What’s the cheapest to pay in at the minute?
A: I’m not sure but I’m assuming it’s still Turkish Lira but as above, it can fluctuate. Spreadsheet here indicating current conversions between local currencies and euro may help you decide.

Q: Can I get it even cheaper?
A: Well, you can add a Revolut card and pay via that. Just ensure it’s topped up.

Another tip is topping up your Revolut account considerably (say enough for a year's sub) while exchange rate is in your favour, and then it'll be deducted from that.

Oh, and there is a Revolut thread here full of helpful people to help with any questions you may have on specifics of that.

It's 6.99 for everyone on the first level. The highest level covers you for 4 screens at any given time, full 4k and HDR. This is 12.99 and I think going up another Euro or so soon

4 screen plan for 4k content = €168 a year split between me and 3 family members is €21 each every 6 months. We each have a profile and watch from different places at the same time.

You get half price netflix when you sign up for 6 months. If you cancel after 6 months & join again using another email address you get half price again for 6 and. You can keep doing this if you want. I couldn't be bothered myself as I don't think it expensive but there's 6 live in my brothers house and after 3 year they are starting on the average 2nd email address for each family member

How do you do this?

Peig Sayers

Won't work with 3 for me. Used to until I changed plan and then the option disappeared. Cancelled my subscription and took out a new one with a different email and it still won't appear as a payment method. Pain in the arse. I can use 3 to pay for anything else in the play store so I don't understand.

There's a problem with more than one account on three with Google play billing at the moment. You can see the threads on the talk to forum. It's affecting all subscriptions, not just Netflix.

If (a big if considering it's Three) they fix it, then in theory once you join or rejoin on your phone you can select it as an option again.

TerrorFirmer

Yeah, not showing as an option for me either. Oh well.

What would the selection be like from a Mexican account? Would you get similar to the US level or much less?

Looking at the US premium price they are pretty much the same as here. But you would get much more of a selection. Would you need a VPN on constantly or could you be traveling and get access to the US content over here?

rogercross

I just looked at Netflix Mexico, for a two screen option it's almost €7

No free rides in this family anymore! I paid for the basic 2 screen package shared among 3 for about a year before realising it wasn't worth it (I mainly use PLEX).

I only really want Netflix now for some of the 4K shows like The Crown & Narcos which I'm happy to contribute €21 every 6 months for.

You're right. It doesn't matter where you sign up but where you are watching from. If you sign up on the Mexican netflix with a VPN/Proxy but watch with your Irish IP you get Irish content.

Netflix loads the local page based on your location. If in Ireland, it will load Irish site.

You get content for the region you are currently in. So you’ll get the same Asan Irish account

Does this mean you can use a VPN to create a Mexican account and thereafter just log in normally in any browser/device?

Seems almost too easy to be true....

I'm not sure the "boardsie spotify family" process would work for netflix - with Netflix it's the one login per account and each person in the account would have access to each profile in the account. There's an element of trust with our boardsie spotify family but at least we each retain our own login details.

...no offence if you're into some of the stranger categories (full category listing here, incl. the "secret" ones) like belgian movies, but having seen some of the posts here, I really don't want to see some of the stuff that ye would be watching coming up in my history or recommendations....the potential for mischief would be too hard to resist...:D

Yeah I would like to know the same can you just get a trial VPN say unblockus change region to Mexico go to Netflix Page and sign up with Revolut card? Will it not change back to Irish plan after a month?

If everyone used their own profile within the account, you wouldn’t see each others history or recommendations! Plus with the Spotify sharing thing, nothing stopping the lead account holder removing everyone and running away with 100+Euro, surprised it hasn’t happened before!

yeah, but that's the point - in spotify you can't access the other users profiles, but in netflix you can. keeping your nose out of the other profiles would be hard and even harder would be resisting the opportunity to mess with their recently viewed list!

and as regards spotify - don't be so cynical the BA members are way too nice to do such a thing....aren't they?

How much are you paying, as i've never tried out Netflix, but after seeing some of the ideas here, i'm in 2 minds in paying for E12 for it now!

UK Site costs - £7/€9 - UK IP needed?
US Site costs - ??

That's different though - that's using VPN to access content from outside the country where you're located, which Netflix have been clamping down on for years. What people are suggesting is using VPN to sign up (and subsequently be billed) from a country that is cheaper then the euro zone price.

Unless you fiddle with settings that you're not supposed to, you get the correct content for the country you're accessing it from. That's always been the case.

There's a group of us, 3 boardsies and a buddy from xbox, who do this- works fine, everyone set up as an individual user and i have never thought to look at what the lads are watching, mostly cos i couldn't care.

Do Netflix are still solid on the vpn blocking? Curses.
