Get Netflix cheaper - SEE OP FOR DETAILS

Wheety

I just received an email from 'Netflix' saying

Your Netflix Membership Account Has Been Suspended

We recently failed to validate your payment information we hold on record for your account,
therefore we need to ask you to complete a brief validation process in order to verify your billing and payment details.

This is a scam email, just in case you receive this. The coincidence of changing to Turkish Netflix might fool some people but don't click on the link in the email. Go straight to Netflix website if you're worried.

Touchvpn is what I used. I'd only use it for that though.

Cheers for info on VPN. I tried a few before and this would not work. Great value. Thanks again

After mulling this over for ages, I decided to pull the trigger and do this.
I cancelled my account, which was last paid 1st September, and it said that the account will be cancelled the 29th. Today is the 30th and I just tried to stream something to make sure it was cancelled, and its still letting me stream something.

So does this mean its not cancelled yet? Or can I go ahead and do this trick?

When I login to my account, it says "Your membership will be cancelled at the end of your current billing period."

In "Billing Details" it says:
Your membership will be cancelled on:
29/09/2018
Restart membership

So I'm just a little confused if I can do this today or maybe wait until tomorrow. Any help?

If you try to stream on a cancelled account it will tell you. Up until then you still subscribed. You might have a few hours left.
Once the message appeared on my app, I VPNed to Turkey and used the browser to sign up with same email and password with location turned off (just incase).

I had same issue and recall it was to do with timezones.

The_B_Man

OK so from what I gather, I need to wait until it stops me streaming anything before I can do this workaround?

Tryin to go thru Argentina via Hola. I get this error:

"The credit card company reports that insufficient funds are available to reserve a security deposit. Please use a different card".

There's money on the card. Are Netflix up to something??

No Netflix aren’t up to anything, could be your card blocking the payment my Ptsb card was frozen once in London and when I rang the bank they said I didn’t tell them I was going so they froze the card pending authorisation
Never heard the likes of it before, luckily it wasn’t the only card I had on me at the checkout

Use Revolut and it will take local currency and you will get more favourable rates

Looks like they want a pre-authorisation on your card. Most companies have started doing this. Now Tv takes a €1 authorization on the card to verify and then they charge the card in full after.

Could be that they are locating charging 1 peso, and this is below the minimum requirement of €1 by your bank. I've seen this happen on a few occasions.

How much is Argentina currently working out at, I finished up with Mexico at the start of September and have since switched to Turkey, currently on my free month, but just wondering now about Argentina

Pacifico

Can you re-sign up through the app once you have a VPN running?

The_B_Man

Argentina is 229 pesos. Roughly €4.80, but it says pre-tax. Not sure what it is after tax.
Turkey is 39.99 lira which is roughly €5.80. Not sure if there's tax on top of that.

Waiting for the payment to hit my bank from Argentina to see how much it works out as, with bank fees etc.

Btw, its the 1st of the month and I forgot stuff came out today, so ignore my previous messages about the credit card. There was just no money on it!!

Cant speak for Argentina but the amount I get deducted for Turkey is 39.99 lira. I loaded my revolut account up with lira when the exchange was very low and it's been a steady monthly deduction since with no additional taxes etc.

Taken from an American site published on the 18th of September so the price is in us dollars but it’s clear to see which country is cheaper

Turkey - $3.27 per month
Argentina - $4.72 per month
Brazil - $5.36 per month
Japan - $5.86 per month
Mexico - $5.88 per month

Apparently Argentina brought in a digital media tax before the summer of 21%, so what ever the netflix rate is there is 21% added to it when you go to pay.

Cost me €5.52 for Argentina premium plan.

Is that for the 4k 4 screen package ?
229 arg pesos is working out at €5.26 with Revolut
Didn’t Argentina bring in a 21% media tax on top of this also ?

dozy doctor

Sorry to hijack the thread...

I just want to clarify all the steps before I sign up to Netflix....

1) Open a Revolut bank account for cheaper fees etc... DONE....

2) Get a VPN like VPN Hola and set your destination country to Turkey or Argentina....

3) Sign up for whichever plan on Netflix and it should think I'm in the country I've setup on my VPN...

4) Is that it ???

OmegaGene

That’s it

Yes 4k 4 screen package. The current top package.
Don't know anything about the media tax, just what is showing in my bank statement.

That’s a strange one because all the websites list turkey as the cheapest option for this with Argentina coming second

Diaell

Have been using Argentina for the past while.
I'm on premium ultra HD plan.
Through Revolute I've paid the following for the past few months.
22nd July 7.18
22nd Aug 6.54
22nd Sept 5.29

5.90 for 4 screen turkey plan
