    Yes, but when adding as not a new Sky Customer, you are only saving a 99c.

    Standard is €14 with Sky vs €14.99 from Netlfix.

    New customer's get it for way less I'm sure, Sky TV & Netflix for €25 per month.

    I resigned up to Sky only last month and the sales person was trying to get me add Netlfix on for maybe €5 extra a month and I didn't want it. Would snap their hand off for it now at that price.

    When you re-activate using giftcard, can you change payment to Revolut?

    My Turkey one gone too. Is this affecting any other regions, could sign up via Argentina?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,725 ✭✭✭✭shmeee


    Would also like to know more about this, €3.99 per month.

    If you’re reactivating the account with a voucher - yes, you need a VPN (I’ve Windscribe for a 10er a year)


    If your account is already working - no, you just add the voucher. I use a VPN because I do it on a laptop and it’s easy.

    It’s only a theory but I think they purged foreign (non Turkish) payment cards. mine went and because I signed up and then did what you did, changing to Revolut mid way, that’s how they got me

    Dam you Netflix66!

    I had a feeling they would do this eventually once Disney+ did the same without any warning around a year ago and I still have never signed back up for that. Disney+ did at least refund you in full

    I tried setting up India using a different email but got the same message



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,568 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    Argentina was tried earlier.

    It asks for argentina number. I bought a cheap sms to use for verification, but then Netflix would not accept it.

    Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

    I noticed the same this morning. With the vpn running copy and paste this and it should have you logged in Account Settings - Netflix



  • Posts: 7,681 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Had the same problems this morning. Have to reconsider netflix. I've Disney, prime and paramount and occasionally nowtv. Do I need netflix at 15 or 20 a month!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,568 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    Looks like my emby account is going to be used a lot more!

    Managed to delay it using a giftcard, but I guess all will be gone by next month.

    Anyone try a travel moneycard e.g. an post as a payment?

    Shared accounts on gamco also going.

    Only advice I saw is start downloading like crazy while you can.

    Going to go with NowTV at €5.99 a month instead when it goes.

    So Argentinian virtual eSIM doesn’t work is it?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,308 ✭✭✭furiousox


    Just checked and I'm still active.

    I've been using gift cards since I started (Aug 23) and I'm paid up 'til the end of March.

    So far so good but I'm starting to feel like I'm on borrowed time!

    You are a khaki coloured bombardier, it's Hiroshima that you're nearing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,568 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    Didn't work for me. Kept getting error. Will try again later.

    Also gone! End of an era.

    Back to using made up families then I suppose?!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,498 ✭✭✭Wheety


    Another one here with a cancelled account. I have Windscribe on phone and can get as far as payment screen, with Turkish prices, to reactivate it but will probably be cancelled again.


    Edit: It's looking for a Turkish phone number on mobile browser. Not sure if I try reactivating on Firestick. That was the work around previously.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,273 ✭✭✭The Ayatolla


    I can go through the checkout when using Turkey as VPN location; anyone know if the Gift Cards will work if purchased from that Turkish website?

    Some amount of households in Ireland this morning waking up to “Noooooo, partys over” haha



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,407 ✭✭✭ooter


    I've been using stremio for the last few weeks and have been very impressed with it. Defo won't be paying full price for Netflix, pretty much anything I'll want to watch on it will be on stremio.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,260 ✭✭✭0ph0rce0


    Had my daughters onto me first thing haha.

    Just bought some gift cards from TURGAME and loaded up using windscribe free vpn, back up and running.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 968 ✭✭✭mistress_gi


    Mine got cancelled a month back. I loaded on gift cards for a year, pending increase in price that is.

    I hope they don't cancel it since it's prepaid!

    Did anyone get their account cancelled with gift card credit active?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,405 ✭✭✭Dr_Colossus


    Mine gone also this morning and increased payment TRY 177 (€5.44 via AIB as they previously cancelled my account years ago when using Revolut) only taken on 19th Feb.

    I see someone has already requested their money back via Revolut but will Netflix be refunding all these accounts automatically or are charge backs going to required. Never had cause to initiate one previously so would prefer the auto refund and then maybe later looking into alternatives such as the voucher cards.

    I had family on my account also and while I didn't use it often would prefer to keep but won't be paying Irish prices especially since password sharing isn't available anymore.

    Mass culling of turkish account across the globe..australia/canada/Ireland/UK and possibly many more ! Reddit is trending on this topic..Bye bye Netflix



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,330 ✭✭✭lau1247


    Yes you will need VPN as far as I know because that's the only way you will get the amount to pay in Lira (and the voucher you buy specifically state Lira value also).


    As for VPN, I have Getflix from many years ago. I don't think it matters much which VPN as long as you are 'seen' as from Turkey. I usually do a quick check on the IP Leak website after I log on VPN just to make sure it is showing up as in country.


    Hope this helps.

    Looks like gift cards is the only alternative?

    Can we get them cheap anywhere?
