Get Netflix cheaper - SEE OP FOR DETAILS

Xcellor

Updated 20/03/24

(1) They seem to be nuking accounts with payment cards issued from outside the country of origin.

(2) While voucher payment on regions that accept it seems to work, some users have here and elsewhere reported these accounts getting nuked too.

(3) If nuked you may lose the money you paid out, a charge back may need to be started. In the case of an account paid with voucher your goosed. It's probably best not to stack vouchers and instead top up as required.

(4) Turkey currently is the cheapest option with payment via vouchers. You may or may not be geo-restricted and have to use a VPN to watch, user experience differs. Elsewhere it's been reported the geo lock lasts for 30 days.

(6) Other cheaper regions like Nigeria don't accept vouchers and you are very likely to be nuked soon after setting your account.

(7) Password sharing is another area where user experience is different. Some people report no problems, others do. While there is a technical workaround via a private VPN it's probably beyond most average users.

(8) At the end of the day, your mileage may vary and if you set up a non-Irish account do so knowing it could end at any time and you could be out of pocket.

UPDATED 24/1/21
if you do not have an irish subscription to netflix then sign up to an Irish sub. It can be any plan as you'll be asked for a choice of plan when you move. You must do a month of Irish sub first.

- enter the payment method you wish to use when you move to your chosen country ( turkey is the cheapest) bear in mind some banks block cards being used abroad unless they are notified in advance.
- enter a genuine mobile number on netflix for account recovery
- cancel subscription
- when your subscription has expired ie nothing plays then sign out of all devices and get a vpn that works for the country you want to use (vpn unlimited works for turkey). This could be a month away.
- check your ip is working using a site like https://whatismyipaddress.com/
- go incognito and search netflix and enter your details and click renew, choosing which package you want.
- turn off your vpn
welcome to cheap netflix. You do NOT need a VPN to watch it. The programme choice will be the same as a reg irish account. You do NOT need to know any Turkish.
IF you still see prices in USD etc when your VPN is on, then your VPN is the problem. Nord VPN seems to have issues. You may need to use a different VPN to sign up

Plans range from 17.99 TL to 41.99 TL a month

Quick and dirty FAQ here - anyone want to amend or add to it?

Q: What’s this about cheap Netflix subscriptions?
A: Yes, if you purchase and/or setup renewal of Netflix in another country using the likes of a VPN, you’ll then pay for Netflix in that currency.

Q: What’s this VPN deal-i-o?
A: Essentially it’ll spoof your IP Address to appear that you’re in another country. There are many paid ones and free ones - including HolaVPN.

Q: OK.. I’m with you. I’m an existing Netflix subscriber in Ireland - what do I do?
A: You need to cancel your recurring subscription on the Netflix site, then wait it has lapsed, and then re-activate using a VPN.

Q: I haven’t subscribed to Netflix yet - what do I do?
A: How’s life been in that cave for the past 10 years? You could subscribe with your VPN open, or subscribe without (to UK/Ireland) for a month and follow question above essentially.

Q: OK, I’ve subscribed now - what do I do with the VPN? Leave it open..
A: If you’re using HolaVPN.. GOD NO… disable it / remove it / take it out back and shoot it in the face. You’re set up your recurring payment, you don’t need it anymore.

If you’re using a paid VPN, you don’t need it to browse just because you’re set up payment in a different country. Disable it to access UK/Irish catalogue and / or enable it if you want to access say Netflix in another country. If you know how to do this, you’ve probably no need to read this FAQ!

Q: Hold on, I was charged €3 last month and was charged €3.40 this month.
A: Remember, you’re paying in a foreign currency so it will fluctuate - but it should still work out considerably cheaper.

Q: What’s the cheapest to pay in at the minute?
A: I’m not sure but I’m assuming it’s still Turkish Lira but as above, it can fluctuate. Spreadsheet here indicating current conversions between local currencies and euro may help you decide.

Q: Can I get it even cheaper?
A: Well, you can add a Revolut card and pay via that. Just ensure it’s topped up.

Another tip is topping up your Revolut account considerably (say enough for a year's sub) while exchange rate is in your favour, and then it'll be deducted from that.

Oh, and there is a Revolut thread here full of helpful people to help with any questions you may have on specifics of that.

i've said it before but this thread just isn't good for my health.

What site are people buying the turkish netflix vouchers from ?

Yah i had googled it but that site was struggling to load and it looked fairly dodge so wasnt sure .

Bought a 100TL voucher off this site (wasnt connected to VPN when purchasing) and went to add to fresh netflix account (all under VPN) and it wont take it... am i doing something wrong?

CastorTroy

I bought from there as well but didn't work so bought then from turgame, which did work

Yeah to be fair. I wouldn't like to buy Turkish Netflix vouchers without being sure of the site. Ha

BKWDR

Oddly enough I was on to netflix support chat for an hour (drawn out playing dumb) trying to get her to add my voucher. She said it was an active voucher but as my account wasn't an active account she couldn't add it. So I think I have to set up an Irish account then cancel it, do the vpn thing and then add vouchers or let it take my payment from the set up card?

I don't think so. I bought 3 vouchers for a mate of mine a couple of months ago but only 2 got accepted. Definitely not a reliable long term strategy I think. In any case we got his card added to NF and yesterday after the voucher expired the card payment went through. Interesting since that card was added before we bought any vouchers but payment would never go through. Sorted now anyway so happy days

This happened when I was setting Turkey NF for a mate a couple of months ago. Bought vouchers and after they expired the card payment went through

mathie

I have a VPN to Turkey but I'm seeing prices in Euro?

https://ibb.co/FzRL11R

mathie

OK I used Incognito and can see the Turkish prices.

I have been getting "There is a problem with the payment method you are trying to use."

Tried a Revolut and PTSB card.

davehey79

just bought 2 TL100 vouchers added them to my account no issues no VPN needed from G2A

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119388068#Comment_119388068

Aye, same here, no issues at all.

gafarrell

I had a KBC card added using a Turkish account. I moved banks as KBC account will be closed soon. I tried adding mt new PTSB card and a Revlout card but was getting nowhere. I was getting payment errors and was looking for a Turkish mobile to send a text to etc.

I contacted support through chat and said that i cant update mt credit card. They sent a form through the chat window and filled it out with the Revlout card details. They changed the payment to the new card and all is working OK. I did VPN in to turkey while on the chat window.

carltonleon

I have used both g2a and eneba and vouchers always work eventually. I may have an issue after a couple but logging out and into netflix normally solves it.. honestly keep trying as I have not had one from either site fail yet and have probably bought about 30 so far.. I’m paid up till 2024 as bought when voucher price went down

Dolphinsmile

Bough Turkish Netflix gift card and use ping me app to get phone number from Turkey. Used Nord VPN and logged in without issues. Watch a film but next time I tried to access Netflix I kept getting complete your registration and I can longer get into site. Anyone have this issue or know work around for this problem?

This did work for me, thanks Tamoreit!

But - and just for the benefit of others who may be trying to do this - two details were slightly different for me.

1) I could not get past "There seems to be a problem with your payment method" when I did it on a Windows PC, but then when I logged into Netflix on an android phone (using VPN of course and incognito browser), it went straight to the "input your Turkish phone number" screen.

2) I topped up the PingMe app with one dollar (which cost 1.29 yoyos somehow) but when I went to get the Turkish number it said balance insufficient. So I topped up with a second dollar. Then it worked! I put the phone number in Netflix and a minute or two later I received a 6 digit code on Ping Me which enabled me to successfully add my Revolut card to Netflix. Oddly, Pingme says my remaining balance is now 1.20 dollars so I am at a loss as to why it said the balance was insufficient the first time.

Anyway Turkish 1.00 was charged to my revolut card by Netflix and then reverted so I think job done (fingers crossed)

Boo_hoo

PingMe worked for me too. Added Revolut card as backup and then switched it to preferred.

The reason you could not get PingMe to work with the $1 topup is because its costs between $0.75-$1.03. You needed 3 cent extra. If you go to profile you can watch Adverts and check-in daily to get the extra 3c. Its 100 coins for 1 cent. The topup for $1 cost me 20.99TL or €1.16. Receiving the text used 75c of balance. Alternatively you can use an invite code like TBLMBJI to get 20c extra. I have no idea where to enter the invite code though. I did try this method first.

The first time I setup PingMe, I got a message saying no numbers available so I checked the next day and it worked.

Steps I took:

Install PingMe in Bluestacks5 on Windows.
Topup PingMe $1 in Bluestacks.
Watch Adverts with sound muted to get 3c.
Select Neflix & Turkey verification in PingMe. Click Next. Turkish number generated.
Connect to Turkish VPN
Login to Netflix in private browser
Go to Account and add backup card
Enter details
When prompted for Turkish number enter PingMe no.
Click refresh icon in PingMe. Code arrived in less than a minute.
Change card to preferred card.

Top tip that, worth the little bit of extra effort 👍

ITT-Pat

Apologies for asking a question that will already have been asked, but I'm finding the thread hard to follow.

I followed all of the steps in the OP and when I got to the stage on restarting my membership, I was able to see the prices in Turkish Lira, but it wouldn't accept payment from my Revolut card (which has funds in Lira in the balance)

Can anyone tell me what I should do next?

mistress_gi

You can try voucher for a month to start with?

ITT-Pat

~~I've tried buying vouchers from Turgame and also G2A but the payment won't go through to actually get the vouchers. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?~~

EDIT: It eventually did go through on G2A and the voucher worked perfectly on Netflix.

One last question - it was a 100 TL gift card that I bought and there is no 62.01 left on the balance. Will Netflix automatically take payment from that gift card when payment is next due? And then when the balance is gone, will it then revert to my Revolut card that is the Backup payment method?

unkel

Installed hola browser. It's free. Within the browser selected Turkey and then I went to Netflix site and clicked on chat button. Within about 10 minutes I got an agent who after a few minutes sent me a secure form (online), I entered my new bank account details and it worked straight away. Got billed immediately for this month's fee of €4.31 for their top "Ultra HD" package 😂

Thanks this worked. I tried to add a new card to my account after my Revolut card due to expire in 2024 had to be replaced. I couldn't get past the Turkish phone number issue.

I would advise topping up PingMe by $2 as $1 isn't enough. I topped up by $1 first but it wouldn't let me top up by Google wallet again for 48 hours. The 30 coins for watching an ad wasn't enough either as it only gives you $0.003!

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119446802#Comment_119446802

How come $1 isn't enough when it only costs $0.75?

unkel

I tried PingMe first too, didn't work, the SMS that Netflix sent me to the Turkish mobile number never arrived. Waste of $1 topup, for which they actually charged €1.29 🤔

The above method in my last post is completely free and actually works...

VG31

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119446834#Comment_119446834

It costs $0.75–$1.03 to receive a text so you need at least $1.03 in credit.

Mervyn Skidmore

I'm sure this has been brought up before but the Turkish Netflix doesn't work everywhere. I was in Thailand on a holiday recently and it didn't work.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119447413#Comment_119447413

We're not using Turkish NetFlix. We are using Irish NetFlix. But we pay Netflix pretending we are in Turkey, to get the cheapest NetFlix subscription in the world.

Just ran though this, to update my card. Super painless. Didnt take 10 mins.

While On VPN (Windscribe on iPadOS) I made a failed attempt to add Revolut.

Then chat them, explaining issue with card being accepted.

I was asked "Does your Credit/Debit Card have 3DS" It does - thats the in app verification.

They claimed that they do not support 3DS. And sent the From to submit the details. 1 min later all. done.
