Malas noticias, mis compañeros agentes.

We had previously been informed by email from Netflix that the Argentinian government would be applying a 35% tax on Netflix starting in Sept

I have regularly being paying ARS 449 so was expecting to pay ARS 157 extra but today I was actually billed for a total of ARS 736.35 which is a 64% increase.

Anyone know WTF is going on over there?

Anyway still wouldn't accept payment 😡

You would still use the same Revolut card, right? Is Revolut intelligent enough to detect the currency requested, then look at your existing currency accounts and use the correct account, leaving your main Euro account alone?

Yes.

Right folks, have been paying in TL for a long time now. Unfortunately, new bank card issued and it won't accept the updated payment method (AIB debit card). Any ideas ? Have tried a BOI and Revolut also - same message. Just tried the AIB card now on VPN but failed again. Any suggestions ?

I was on ARS also, was normally lying €5.06 - €5.15 most months. This month was €8.96. Just cancelled. What’s the cheapest country nowadays Turkey?

I pay through Turkey. Around €4.80 for the 4 Screen plan

I was on the Argentinian plan but cancelled with the new tax fee there...

- Let my membership lapse
- Waited a day and tried to renew from "Turkey"
- It said that it will cost 41.99 TL/mo, so I'm logged in from the correct place.

However, when I try to finalize the payment it says "There seems to be a problem with the payment method you are trying to use"

I'm using the same BOI Mastercard registered to my account that I used from "Argentina" but no joy

McMurphy

From memory lads,

Sign up to Netflix Ireland using your normal Irish banking details.
Cancel.

Once the membership lapses, log into Netflix with a Turkish VPN.

restart membership.

Prices will then be in TRL

Exact same happened to me. (BOI Mastercard also). I went back to Argentina for now until I figure it out. I think it would have let me use Brazil but I didn't have a phone number set up and it wanted to text me.

I think we’re screwed. And to think that I was good with Turkey until 2024 with my AIB card. Lost the bloody think and had to update payment details. Bugger.

Someone mentioned using a Curve account recently and it working? Curve payment but actually linking back to a Revolut account. Anyone tried that?

I used curve. Not necessary to link to Revolut as you get a good rate through Curve anyway

I'm also a new user. Last week I tried to open an account from Turkey, was prompted for card details, used Revolut and immediately received error "something went wrong".
I did not want to start with Irish subscription as currently no offers, so I went to Poland. Premium plan for less than 1EUR for 30 days. I was asked to provide a Polish number, found somebody with Polish mobile number and used that. All went through using the same Revolut card. When I logged in to Netflix I was asked to add a phone number, keyed in my Irish mob number, so now my Netflix account has my Revolut added as payment method and the Irish number.
Not sure what will happen after I cancel subscription and move elsewhere to resume it. Polish Netflix full price is nearly 12EUR so will try to move.

Btw if anyone wants to try with Polish, not sure if 100% works, but there is service to receive SMS to Polish numbers for example:
https://receive-sms-free.net/Free-Poland-Phone-Number/

I tried this for other services, sometimes there is a delay in receiving the messages. I could not find a similar website with Turkish number unfortunately. Somebody posted here they were prompted to provide a Turkish number when subscribing, I didn't get to that stage anyway, immediately received 'something went wrong' error

I used Curve linked to my PTSB bank account - it doesn't need to be linked to Revolut

Another alternative is add your revolut card to paypal and use paypal payment instead. Make sure to change charged on local currency when using PayPal.

PayPal isn't an option for Turkey

There is now a 35% tax on Netflix in Argentina,

Been with Netflix Turkey for about 2 years now. Costs roughly 3 euros for 2 screen HD package. I just logged into Netflix Ireland to update the expiry date on my visa debit and was surprised to see it had auto-updated so I didn't have to change anything. Looks like I might get another 4 years out of this.

Yes, this exact same thing happened to me. There was an email a month ago from Netflix that they would add 35% tax but that should only bring the total to ARS 606.
I contacted Netflix who said nothing to do with them, they only took 449 and they said the credit card company is responsible for collecting the tax in this case and advised me to contact the credit card company.
Naturally when I got onto credit card company (Revolut) they said nothing to do with them either and that the merchant had advised them that the payment was ARS736.35. I had the option to dispute the payment but that would probably end my Netflix account so I didn't do that.

I would cancel Argentina and move to Turkey but it seems that a lot of people are having issues signing up there with any kind of card so I am staying put for a while so see how it plays out.

My guess is that they are for some reason charging 21% VAT plus this new 35% tax so 449 x 1.21 x 1.35 = 733.44 ??????

Think Brazil works out cheaper than the new Argentina price, so you could try that.

Can someone change the spreadsheet at the top of this post to the updated Argentina price?

Now.....how could Netflix possibly know the exp date of a new card?

Terminator

In my case, the number of the card stayed the same. Apparently VISA and others supply updates to the likes of Netflix so that subscriptions carry on seemlessly.

I think it’s the payment method on turkey that’s proving to be the stickler.
