Get Netflix cheaper - SEE OP FOR DETAILS

jarvis wrote: »

Just got an email from Netflix saying that Argentina has now introduced a tax on Netflix of 35%. It says I will now see this on my card asa separate payment.

Think I’ll cancel and checkout where is cheaper now. Anyone more current cheapest alternative country?

For anyone else wondering I’ve just just checked current Turkish prices. 4K is 42TL (€4.67 on XE.Com). 1080 is 29.90TL (€3.34 on XE.Com).

I’ll be switching from Argentina to Turkey now that Argentina has an extra 35% tax.

In answer to the last comment try a different VPN. I’m using vpn unlimited on my iPhone and it works fine.
Edit...
Re reading your question if you mean you’re trying to watch with a VPN rather than add a subscription with one then I don’t know that answer.

But does not give you Turkish content etc?

No, not unless you keep your vpn connected to turkey while watching it. Vpn is only needed for sign up. You'll get the content of whatever country you are in.

Just helped friend of mine.
His Netflix expired 2days ago.I used Speedify on my phone for Turkey ,however his Revolut didnt work so we left his irish card and signed up for 42Lira package.Then he logged in on his phone on irish Netflix and he was able to change payment method to Revolut.All was done in 10min

And you didn't need the Turkish sim to do it? Mine expires on the 27th and I'll give it a go if I don't need a Turkish phone number

Just download the Speedify app and set it to Turkey, sign up, then uninstall Speedify and away you go.

Did all that, Downloaded Speedify, selected a Turkey server, VPN is appearing up top, gotonto Netflix Turkey, but won’t accept my credit card, or N26 Card, just get an error on Netflix Turkey sign up page
“ There appears to be a problem with the payment method you are trying to use.”

Have triple checked my details, and they are correct, any ideas ?

Tried 4 different cards, same result- error is the same

This is an issue with Netflix not the VPN you are using

Is there a work around ? seems to be working for other people on here

Went on Netflix chat.

As per some posters, they said its an issue at my bank, and as i have exceeded a certain number of attempts, i need to retry in 14 hours. Will try my credit card bank first, to make sure there no issues, but i wouldn't think there is one.

Have you done any research through the comments here. It’s discussed on every page I’d say. You need to add payment here on your account via Ireland. Only after payment method is added can you add subscription via another country.

You need to sign up to a plan from Ireland for a month, you may be able to get a free trial for this, cancel plan before month is up, during the Irish signup make sure to add a mobile number as well as your chosen payment method,

When the plan expires just use a VPN to sign into your existing netflix account from Turkey and you will then get the option to restart your original plan.

WTF am I doing wrong?!

Last month I cancelled it & let it go for 24 hours after the sub expired
Used a VPN to be in Turkey but couldn't get it to take any of my Irish cards - not even a Revolut
Read that maybe i should try a Curve

Renewed Neflix for another month and got a Curve

it expired (having cancelled it during the month) on Saturday and now I can't get it to take any card when connected to Turkey (not even the Curve)

I got on to chat and got them to delete my old card which they did - happy days I thought but it still won't take my card
No card - they're all rejected

Any ideas?

Dont let it expire. Make sure you've enough funds to pay it on card when its due.

Expire was the wrong wording - I cancelled it
Will edit my post

Did you add the curve card after paying for month in Ireland? I think I spotted people having better luck in paying for a month in Ireland using whatever card you plan to use in future, then cancel, then go on a quick holiday to Turkey to reactivate using the card that has been used previously.

Thanks, no I used to pay with a BOI credit card.

Ok, will join again
Pay in Curve
Cancel
Wait for month to end
Go to Turkey
Reactivate

Just FYI I tried this. I have tried everything the last 2/3 months. Nothing works. I contacted chat, asked them to reset my payment details (it took me literally begging at one stage) - they sent me a hyperlink, and it didn't work either.

The chat went then another guy came on and said "you are using a VPN turn it off" - of course I said how dare you I am in Istanbul studying......... anyway it didn't work. Tried Curve, Revolut and every AIB card under the sun

I've given up

You should be on the Irish NF site without VPN while chatting with customer care. let them add the card and charge you for Irish subscription .cancel it next day and let the subscription expire. when expired turn on your VPN and log in to NF turkey and restart your subscription. in my case revolut , N26 and curve card didn't worked but monese card worked without contacting customer care.

Another month to pay & another card to try then it seems
:mad:

Completed this with Curve this morning and Hola VPN - surprised how easy it was!

Worked out at €4.69 (41.99 Turkish Lira) for the premium package - now all I have to do is buy a decent TV

Thanks Op
