Forgot to topup my Lira account on Revolut. Payment has failed and now my account is on 'hold'. Does anyone know if Netflix will just retry to charge the account? Used to just notify me to make sure to topup within 14 days and I could continue watching, but at the moment it's locked down so can't watch anything on it.

Tried to add a different revolut card but it doesn't let me, saying that there's an issue with the payment method.

great time to buy Lira's at the moment too exchange rate it quite high if you want to stock up on them

1 euro = 6.9 turkish lira i think is what i've seen earlier

This is literally an example of what we’ve been talking about in the comments before your post. I genuinely think 45c a month is well worth it to not have to remember to top us your revolut every month and face this exact scenario. Hopefully you get sorted.

The only thing I can think of is to 'reset' the membership as now, technically, it is expired with the payment info still set on the account. So maybe I just need to go through the VPN setup again. Hopefully. I'll try things again later.

There’s loads of examples of this exact issue in this thread so I’m sure 5 minutes of browsing will give you the answer. Can’t remember but I think I recall people having a solution.

Majority of us using Revolut just transfer a year's worth of payments and then set a reminder to top-up again next year. Forgetting to top-up isn't really an excuse when we all have €500+ pocket computers on our persons at all times.

No we don't

So I'd been on Paypal as payment for ages, tried to renew Turkey on that payment and it said problem.
Tried entering debit card -problem
Back to Ireland, renew Irish debit card - problem
Renew Irish paypal - fine
Update payment method to debit card- problem (last 3 all Irish netflix from Ireland!)

The error is generic
"There appears to be a problem with the payment method you are trying to use."

Edit: I've tried 2 different Visa debit cards and Revolut, same for all - is there a general error with Netflix taking card payments at the moment? Both debit cards are currently used for other online subscriptions and standing orders, they are not expired, not blocked, no issues other than Netflix...

Yes, and then when the account lapses in 30 days sign up to a new country.

Cancelled the sub. once it is lapsed, will I renew using my laptop? which vpn you use for mac?

Not sure if any one is keeping track but turkish lira is tanking a bit at the moment from my alert. It is the highest in 1 year period. Anyone who's Revolut is still working with Netflix may want to plan to get some exchange going. Hope this helps.

Yep the exchange at the moment is 1 euro = 6.98 to 7 Turkish liras

already exchanged 1 year worth of Netflix turkey for this

Logged on to argentenian tor . It's taking my transferwise card , last step is that it want's to send me an sms verification message to my argentenian sim , which I don't have. Any of ye come across this and have a workaround ? thanks

I used https://smspva.com/ and got my Argentinian N account activated, but a few days N deactivated it and returned the fee anyway.

hmm, can't see this skip option. I'll try again this evening. I might be flagged or something like that. I might just go the usual way for another month after trying again tonight

My sleep deprived slow brain is trying to wrap my head around this....so You're saying to exchange euro to Turkish lira now at the current price and netflix will take monthly sub from that lira in your revolut wallet, thus locking in the price before the exchange rate trend makes it more expensive?

Revolut will process payments in the currency required and will take from your wallet of that currency if you have one. If not, it'll take from your main account. So if you have a balance of €10 and no lira then it'll take the €4.50 or so from your main balance. If you transfer that €10 to lira it'll take it from the lira balance.

If you transfer to a lira balance monthly, then there is no benefit to you. However if lira drops against euro the you can buy a bunch now, and even if lira goes back up in value, you gave the lira value in your lira wallet and Netflix will charge from that. Provided Netflix doesn't change prices and the lira does improve you save money.

My Netflix account expired which i paid through irish debit card. i have logged into Turkish netflix through vpn but it woudn't accept my revolut or curve card as new payment method. i logged into irish netflix and tried to pay through my revolut card but it wouldn't go through either. what am i doing wrong here??

If you make too many changes to your account within a short timeframe they block it from all changes for 24-30hrs. Just wait a while and it should be fine again, same thing happened me.

Just got my Revolut notification for 41.99 Lira, I logged into the app and its coming up as 'Netflix Amsterdam', Seems odd?!

does Netflix work?
is the amount they billed you what you expected?

if the answer is yes then it doesn't matter where it shows up as billing from, don't contact Netflix over this!

This is.much better no? https://www.pigsback.com/en-ie/offer/436177/NowTv

I couldn't even start a new Irish netflix account with my revolut or curve card. looks like netflix is blocking revolut and curve cards.
