    How do you do this? I can't find any settings option on the Firestick app that allows updating card details. Thanks


    Edit - Sorry . I see now in the replies below yours. Wait for it to expire!

    happened to me yesterday, 3 years with no issues and account got cancelled, no prior warning, email etc.

    however it was possible to renew service with new subscription. they said it is a software that monitors all accounts and unusual activity was a reason for instant account cancellation

    I was expecting to be billed by Netflix overnight, but instead found this email:

    I checked my Revolut and backup payment method (which happens to be a Turkish card), and no attempt had been made to charge them.

    Has anyone else had this?

    I tried adding another Revolut card, but it was not accepted. My Turkish FUPS card was accepted after verifying a Turkish phone number with 5sim, so back in business for now.

    Yes, seems to be a new crackdown by Netflix on non Turkish residents using cheap Turkey accounts with geo blocking & card billing issues being reported. Looks like gift card top-up is being discontinued too.

    What's the best/cheapest alternative to a Turkish account?

    Do you have Turkish mobile number added to your account with 5sim or alternative?

    Hmmm, my payment is due on Jan 28th. Will be watching this carefully.

    Cannot see a reason to pay full price for Netflix these days. Haven't watched anything new in ages

    No nothing added . I be been on the Turkish plan for 4 years was easy to sign up back then. Looking like a clampdown is happening though

    I got the same email today, account is paused, update your payment details

    Revolut doesnt seem to work anymore so added my own bank card, non Turkey

    I did it over chat so didnt need a phone number, working again though I would rather not use my bank card

    3 year voucher-only payment, same paused account email today upon expiry. Last week could standard login for use but VPN-ing to apply vouchers locked out - would not accept password or allow change.

    Uh-oh, I've been getting the mysterious wrong username/password BS last week or two.

    Usually i apply about 4 months worth of TR gift cards but have reduced it to one at a time from this month.

    The end is nigh for my TR Netflix I think.

    I've been pondering what I would do if it ends. I think nothing, barely watch it as is. Sub for a month if there's a binge worthy Boxset

    I signed up for Egypt easily enough last week, used my N26 card and an Egyptian proxy, created a new account.

    Anyone have any experience with signing up to Pakistan or Egypt's Netflix? It seems to be the cheapest out there at the momemnt.

    Got an email but money came out of revolut so looks like I'm ok for now:

    'Starting February 18th, 2024, the Standard plan price will change and your monthly price will be updated to TL 176.99.'

    Strange thing. I saw this thread so after reading the latest posts, I decided I needed to top up before my gift cards ran out so I don't have the bother everyone else is having.

    I have never used a VPN as they never worked so I bought enough gift cards to last until next January and it happily let me add them one by one without the VPN. I got to my last two and they stopped working, getting the something went wrong message. So I turned on the VPN to Turkey, opened Netflix back up again and it let me load the last two.

    It's strange how the majority I didn't need the VPN but for the last two I did. Maybe it triggered some sort of auto-system check or something.

    Regardless, should be grand until next year now.

    Our Netflix account is a lapsed Irish one that was reactivated through turkey last may and there have been no issues, money was only taken the other day for January, 149 TL, using a BOI visa debit card.
