    I'm in the same boat, not working, where did you buy the gift card?

    From here: https://www.gamivo.com/

    I have more cards than a magician, incl. Curve, Revolut, N26, etc.
    I have tried Windscribe, Surfshark, Halo, Nord, incognito blah, blah, double checked each time, with what's my ip etc etc.
    Followed instructions to the letter.
    Tried switching on vpn at payment point etc etc
    Cards ticked for location security off.

    Even tried with a brand new account set up last month.

    No way, no matter what, it says "problem with my payment" and payment declined in the Curve app.

    At this point, I am prepared to pay more than the Irish sub, to get the Turkey version working. :D:D

    I tried with Surfshark set to Turkey/Argentina. It doesn't recognise my password when I do this.

    I can't seem to get it to work after following the steps in the op.

    Surfshark is leaking in Turkey, sort of.
    You will see Turkish lira pricing but NF is suspicious, hence the password error.

    Vpn unlimited or Hola work for me.

    I know that, I am just amazed that Ireland has the largest Netflix library.


    I gave up on US Netflix a year ago for this very reason.

    US is only better for very US stuff like criminal minds, naked gun movies etc. Irl has everything else you want.

    Thanks for the information, because I am using Surfshark set to Turkey for watching the football on the SSport+ app and it hasn't buffered once. I will be hopefully switching to Turkey next week on Netflix. I taught it would be good to use Surfshark.

    The free versions or 30 day no quibble refund of Hola and Vpn unlimited worked fine.

    Surfshark is my preferred VPN otherwise. If you were dedicated enough and raised a ticket with SS they might get you sorted ;)

    Did that and it worked, it's an awkward amount though, 100 LI when the sub is 55 and they must know this

    If you look at the expiry date for the gift card on your account you'll get the full 100 LI worth of time so almost 2 full month.

    Hopefully it'll switch over to the card on account without problem after this.

    Changed mine over last night.. Worked seemlessly.. Many thanks to OP and all following user experiences that were posted after that.. What worked for me was.
    Changed payment to Revolut physical card, cancelled subscription, once month passed by and viewing was cut off I singed out of all devices that I could remember account was signed into.. Missed my account on TV so don't know is this step needed? Anyway.. I then used VPN unlimited to change IP to Bursa in Turkey and used Dolphin browser with Incognito mode switched on.. Renewed subscription with prices on TL, Asked me to verify my phone number but it didn't stop me from continuing..

    Sorry, are you saying you didn't need to do this step:
    Go through the Restart Membership (with no VPN) and go to add a new credit card. Add the new card and click through to Next and THEN turn on VPN?

    No I followed the steps in the original post word for word.. But when I signed out of all devices I forgot to sign out of my TV.. So wondered was that step needed? Probably best to stick to the guide as it is.. I've a habit of making things confusing :)

    Second month in a row trying this and it hasn't worked again. Using PureVPN and a Revolut VISA card.

    Membership expired, signed out of all devices, browser incognito mode on, VPN set to Turkey - all the boxes ticked - and I just can't get past the "problem processing your payment method" message on the confirmation page.

    I honestly don't know how some people are getting this to work.

    I thought perhaps people were turning off their VPN at the point of confirming chosen plan and payment method, but that has just resulted in me being signed up at Irish prices.

    Use a different vpn - vpn unlimited works fine

    I don't think the problem is with the VPN I'm using. I was being offered plans in Turkish Lira prices.

    Same here got all the way through it and switched VPN on when I got to €17.99 pkg entered card details, which then switched to 54.99 TL and then fell apart at that stage regardless of whether I was using Revolut, Curve or Zen.
    Was thinking of just whacking on €60 on a gift card and getting the best part of the year out of it that way.

    are you using incognito mode and a decent vpn, just because you are viewing turkish prices doesnt mean it is working 100% ?
    i wrote most of the bulletin points outlined in the op and it was edited by a moderator, if it doesnt work then something is wrong with the set up it isnt just randomly working for some and not others

    I had the exact same issue with that VPN switched to Hola and it worked no problem.

    Also are you using the virtual Revolut ?

    It is without doubt the VPN. Seeing TL prices alone does not guarantee that Netflix has not identified the IP as a vpn
    Surfshark is leaky too

    Me and a friend had instant success using Proton. It’s €5 for one month of the VPN and you can cancel as soon as the job is done. I had no success with others.
