    I used PureVPN and got my Turkish prices. Everything was going swimmingly until I got to the payment. I tried about 6 cards from 2 different providers - no luck. Finally, I purchased a 100 TL gift card from G2A and used that. It's working for now. I have Revolut as the backup payment method and hopefully that will work in two months time.

    I did the same (up & running by buying a G2A gift card) but couldn't get it to accept Revo as backup payment method - how did you do this ?

    Irish increased too. The Turks won't take price increases too kindly. Still dirt cheap compared to Ireland.

    I'd try a different VPN. Surfshark didn't work for me, but Windscribe VPN did.

    Since moving to Turkey last week, I've noticed that my payment methods now include "Troy", which upon research, turns out to be Turkish Debit/Credit/Prepaid card (much like Laser was to us a few years back).
    Does this mean that in order to change my payment method when my current card expires, I have to either get a Turkish card, or go back to Ireland sub, add new card, or resort to gift cards?

    I have been with Netflix since 2013, back when Irish subs were 6.99 (checked my email history, got a shock!), and had zero luck doing that on Irish sub in past year when I wanted to move off PayPal and onto my card in preparation for switching to Turkey. Tried Revolut and 2 different Irish bank visa debit cards while on Irish sub - eventually had to get customer service involved, they sent me a payment capture form, and only that ever worked. Last week was the first time I've ever been able to move off the Irish sub successfully.

    Had you been trying every 24 hours or did you take a long break before trying again?

    had you used curve for initial month on irish subscription?

    I gave up trying to get a card onto the acct and just bought a couple of 100 TL gift cards at €13.88 each which still works out at around €7’ish for the month so nearly €11 per month cheaper. Covered till end of Sept and hopefully will have card on acct before then

    So, I went through the steps a few days ago. I used a VPN was able to get the Turkish prices however I was unable to add any card to the account. I tried a few Revolut cards plus some Irish bank cards and no luck.

    So I got a Netflix gift card and that worked fine. In the meantime, I've been trying to add a standard payment card for the backup payment method in the hope that when the gift card runs out the Revolut card will kick in. But I'm still getting an error saying there is a problem with the payment method. I've tried to do it with VPN off and VPN on. I've tried PureVPN and Seed4Me.

    Am I missing any steps here?

    Nope, it is the exact same issue that a lot of us are having. See my post above, I gave up and bought a couple of TL gift cards and added them to my acct which will take me up to September at current prices.

    How does one get around the phone number verification? Can't seem to change from Turkish to Irish prefix.

    You add your number and confirm it while still on the Irish sub and then on the Turkish one you select not now or skip I think
    You won’t be able to add an Irish mobile to a Turkish account

    I seem to be the only person who successfully added an irish phone number to a Turkish sub. Myself and someone else managed to add our phone number to an Austrian sub.

    Apologies if this has been asked already folks but Ive gone back through a lot of pages and havent seen it! My sub finished yesterday. Signed up for Cyberghost VPN and verified my locaiton is Turkey. Prices coming up in Lira. But my revolut wont work. Ive tried the virtual card also. If you wait 24 hours, will Netflix change and allow this payment option to go through? Or am I looking at gift card option now?

    I have my revolut on Paypal also. Has anyone tried it via this? Will it pick up paying in Lira? Has for other sterling purchases so I dont see why not? thanks.

    Revolut is pot luck but curve with Revolut added works, how were you paying on your Irish sub ? That payment option should work in Turkey
    Turkish Netflix doesn’t take PayPal btw

    Post one has all the points needed to help really

    I was paying via PayPal which has my Irish debit card on it for years. I’ll try curve out tomorrow. The whole Revolut thing is weird how accepts some and not others!

    Received an email this morning saying on May 22nd the price will go up to 54.99 Turkish Lira. That's for the top tier plan. Just over €5.50.

    Obviously still way cheaper than the Irish prices!

    Got the same email
    I know it's still daft cheap but it's a big % price increase from the €4.26 I just paid this month

    Just signed up for Curve and added my revolut to that. Tried paying with the virtual Curve card but got same error when I used my revolut card directly last night. Curve says I can use the virtual card straight away. Do I need to leave it longer before logging into Netflix and trying again? It hardly should make a difference?

    Turkish Govt revoked PayPals financial license in 2016 so its a non-runner.
