Is there a setting in revolut to pay in the local currency?

not in revolut, its more then likely in the payment page on who you are paying. On netflix, i think it automatically gets charged at the local currency because you are a local.....

Not really - you will get the local content of whatever country your viewing Netflix in.

With the new EU 'law' coming into effect (bringing your EU sub catalogue with you wherever you travel within the EU) this means people with cheap, non-europeans subs could find themselves limited in content when traveling.

eg if you sign up to Mexican Netflix, you can browse as normal and get the Irish / UK Netflix catalogue, but if you travel to Italy you will only get the Italian Netflix catalogue (which is quite limited)/

Where as someone with an Irish Netflix subscription, traveling to Italy, will get the full Irish / UK catalogue under the new EU law.

Not a huge deal breaker by any stretch, but worth keeping in mind.

Oh yeah but that's a cat and mouse game with getting blocked + it's an extra sub!

They fixed that lately so no tom and Jerry game and the sub is lifetime and it’s cheap at the moment

Getflix :- Also please take note that due to constant DNS/VPN blocking from Netflix side, our network engineers found out that setting up Static Routing in your router will fix Netflix issue permanently especially for media players, consoles, set top box, iOs, android and other devices that use Netflix application.

We have updated our Static IP routing instructions especially for Netflix access. You can check on it from this page https://getflix.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/202281524-Block-Public-DNS-Overview and please make sure to set United States under Netflix from your Getflix Region page.

In theory you can but its sharing the same account unlike Spotify where everyone has their own login. On previous discussion, it's hard to stop one person hogging all the screens so you'd want to trust them

A Netflix family you mean
I am part of one now for 4/5 months and it’s working perfectly, not a single problem with it
Rules can be implemented if need be

If someone takes more than one screen they get benched and lose their money etc

I signed up via Columbia a fortnight ago (Hola, revolut and a new email address) - all was going fine until today when they have signed me out on all devices

when I try to sign in I am prompted to restart my membership (at irish prices).

There doesnt seem to be any way around this. (have tried clearing cookies and signing in via hola) buteven then i'm still only getting prompted to restart at 32,900 COP (4 screen HD). As far as I recall that's more than the original COP amount.

Anyone experience anything similar or as I imagine - is the fun over and do I have to go crawling back to netflix and reinstate my old account?

It’s all going Pete tong

Snake Plisken · 08-04-2018 5:51pm

Mine is still working with 4 screen premium and payment via Revolut. But maybe Netflix have copped onto this and are working their way through accounts that they think are using the vpn workaround. It will be interesting to see what happens in the coming week.

OmegaGene · 08-04-2018 5:57pm

Checked hot deals uk and nobody is complaining about getting knocked off
Surely if Netflix cancel mid subscription a reason would be given, can’t just log a user out unless something was done wrong in the set up but even then a valid reason should’ve given
Terms and conditions broken or something

Mine is fine. Mexican account

TheDriver · 08-04-2018 6:51pm

They couldn't do that mid sub surely? Mine working fine still, Mexican account. You could be travelling in Europe a lot and rarely home in Columbia

Exactly what I was thinking, makes no sense to me

My recent activity is all Ireland based so I am screwed if they look. But I'm only a tiny fish in a massive pond

Happy_Harry · 08-04-2018 7:01pm

Did you try another country ? It seems in the past problems have been reported with Colombian subscriptions with non-Colombian cards

That's an idea thanks. Maybe a Mexico/ Turkish sub worth a try.
Mine is mid cycle but no charge/ refund involved as I'm still in my free month

Yes the prices for Columbia increased. My membership wasn't automatically renewed!

TheDriver · 08-04-2018 7:18pm

Ahhhh if you're in your free month, then it's hard to have comeback. They want you to agree to new price. Still cheap though

FranklinMint · 08-04-2018 7:18pm

Is the first free month given automatically when u sign up to Mexico?

When would the first payments be taken?

Thanks

Price increase has probably caused this to happen
When you got the free month the contract was for the old price to come out every month

As far as I know, the first month is always free, regardless of country. Payment is taken at the same day(you signed up) the next month. Although I think they may charge you when you sign up and immediately revert the charge once they see the card works.

quinnthebin · 08-04-2018 9:41pm

Signed up again with turkey sub (sounds like a subway special ðŸ˜€ ) though didn't get another free trial month - maybe because I used same revolut payment card as before (used a different email)

Thanks to all for the help.

I signed up on my virtual travels to Mexico - didnt make it much if any cheaper - still $13.99 a month (I do get the Ultra HD though - there is a $7.99/month plan for 1 screen SD quality)

If you have the app on the phone in settings look for Netflix and switch USA on, or go on the website and do the same

As well as pick the USA for for the dns setting - There were a number of DNS servers to choose from for the entry point getflix server- did you use the Irish one? I was having mixed results with it.

I didn’t select a USA dns I did exactly what I said, switched on USA Netflix on the app and bingo
All the info is on the getflix website

Here’s a snippet of a convo I had with them

Yes, US Netflix is already included in your subscription. You may visit https://www.getflix.com/manage/regions and turn on the US Netflix region.

Yup - thanks - did all that - several times....

My question is what was the DNS server (the 4 numbers) you entered into your TV/Router/XBox etc...

There is a long page of servers to choose from - I was having issues with ones I tried - and I tried several - and was wondering if anyone could suggest one that worked for IRELAND (the irish DNS on the page below didn't used to work - but no longer works for me for netflix)

Ie. Which option did those who got it working on their TV get it working on:

https://www.getflix.com.au/setup/dns-servers

(just getting it working on a Smart Phone wouldnt be good enough for me)

OmegaGene · 09-04-2018 11:30am

Wrong thread for this really but I selected a Dublin and uk dns when I first set it up on my router settings and it’s worked since, I don’t have a fixed/static ip so I update getflix on the app

I got refunded the other months i had paid for Colombian Netflix. So i basically got 2 months and 3 weeks free netflix.

I signed up for US Netflix via a workaround but instead of being charged $10.99 my revolut card was charged ~$12.64. could they be charging me some FX cost on top of the normal price. I made sure I had enough dollars in my $wallet. Will try via US PayPal account next month.

Why the us out of curiosity ?
Netflix don’t charge fx cost they bill you in the currency of your location maybe it’s a Revolut issue

fmul9798 · 26-04-2018 8:41pm

That's odd - almost sounds like you're paying an Irish sub but in US$

I probably being stupid but I presumed that the most content would be available in the US so I'd need to pay a US sub.

I'll sign up under a new email at the end of this current period and see if that works any better, will double check workaround settings thoroughly before hand tho.

The content is based on where you are actually located at the time so say you pop over to Mexico and sign up there for the low price then you can travel anywhere either physically or via vpn/smart dns and watch the content of your choosing
USA and Canadian content is better btw

Off topic, but has any else experienced very poor picture quality when watching HDR content from Netflix on a LG smart TV? Very dull, washed out almost unwatchable. HDR clips from YouTube play perfectly. I did try Netflix customer support but hung up as they started asking questions about my sub.....

I signed up for Netflix Mexico on the 26th March initially for the middle sub at 149MXN a month then upgraded to the highest sub during the first month.

Payment of 199MXN was taken on the 25th. April.

Then this morning I got an email to say that that the 199MXN had been refunded but no reason given for why.

When I tried to use Netflix I got a message to say that I must renew my subscription.

Went back in via VPN and renewed my sub to Netflix Mexico and payment of 199MXN is now reserved on my debit card and no problem using Netflix again.

Hopefully not going to be subjected to this dance every few weeks...
