Get Netflix cheaper - SEE OP FOR DETAILS

DoubleJoe7 · 05-05-2021 1:14pm

I got this working using the AIB card I had stored on my profile already. I wouldn't accept my Revolut card, real or virtual.

Done exactly this at the end of last month so wondering the same. Guess I'll find out in about 3 weeks time!

Just to update that once the gift card expired yesterday it took the payment from my Revolut car which I had been paying with in Ireland. Might be worth a try for those who had the same issue when trying to renew in Turkey.

DeadSkin · 05-05-2021 2:34pm

I added my Revolut virtual card as a second payment method, the preferred payment is still my AIB card.

I cancelled my sub which expires over the weekend. Will see what happens when I try to renew via VPN to Argentina.

Created new Revolut virtual card and tried to add with it no vpn on as back up card and still got the same error message, very frustrating. At the moment I have no card on it as it won’t accept any of my cards so I bought a few gift cards so paid up until September.

Exactly the same for me, same old frustrating error on the newly created revolut virtual card...

I travelled to Argentina (don't worry, I virtually quarrantined) and it worked for me using Revolut today.
It worked out at about €5.90 before tax - close to €10 after tax.

You do anything different?

Tried to add 2 different cards to my Irish sub and wont accept. Live chat said try again later. Useless.

Was just about to reactivate my account through turkey but noticed this bit Only people who live with you may use your account. Watch on 4 different devices at the same time with Premium, 2 with Standard and 1 with Basic.
Has this always been the case, I assumed the same account could be used in different locations?

I had a sub with a Turkish Giftcard with no card attached. Sub expired and i cancelled it. Used a VPN incognito and the first time it asked me for a Turkish phone number despite my Irish number attached, since then i keep getting the usual error about something going wrong with the card. I reckon I've blocked the account because of the failed attempts. Anyone any ideas? I'll try again tomorrow and see

TheDriver · 08-05-2021 2:00am

Maybe setup a new Austrian account with another email for a free month trial and then try to move that account to turkey?

Netflix sub cancelled overnight, logged out of Netflix on TV.
Opened VPN to Turkey and restarted membership with no issues, for what's its worth I didn't use incognito as when I checked the IP address it was showing up as Ireland. Opened Chrome browser, enabled Windscribe and restarted the account with no issues.

Before I cancelled my sub I added my Revolut as a second payment method, this wasn't available to me when I restarted the membership, just left it as AIB debit card and no problems. I have now changed the payment method to Revolut.

Thanks again OP!!!

Edit: just checked my AIB banking online and Euro 5.52 was just taken out and after changing the payment method Euro 1 was taken from Revolut.

I go to account but I can't seem to see manage payment info, my sub expired if that is why I can't see it?

Maybe. When I restarted the membership the only option was my preferred payment method.

What do you see when you try to restart the membership? Your preferred method should be available.

When I click restart, gives some the 3 site options, then next page is to confirm payment with my card saved (revolut) can only change cards can't add a second

Can I ask did you have to buy Netflix gift cards specific for Turkey, or will na do? Where did you get them from, if Turkey specific, if you don't mind me asking? Thanks a lot

Pauly26 · 09-05-2021 8:17am

Just got the below email from Netflix, that's a scandalous increase. I'm on the 4k family plan

We hope you’re enjoying everything Netflix has to offer. We’re updating our prices to bring you more great entertainment. Your monthly price will change to 54.99 TL on June 9, 2021.

€15.40 is the most expensive that I have seen it in the last few weeks, I bought my last one at €13.13 a couple of weeks ago, it is all to do with fluctuations in the TL to Euro rate so perhaps just check each day to see if it decreases in price

Ok, thanks a lot for that. So when you added this to the Turkish Netflix account, it never asked for any other payment details, such as credit card/Revolut, did it? That's where I was getting stuck, it wasn't accepting my card, but this gift card idea might be a great start. Thanks again

Changed to mexico from argentina last night..Had cancelled and left it run out.. Used Hola VPN on phone, turned off location and wifi, renewed in a few minutes using existing Revolut (mastercard) for payment

Hococop · 10-05-2021 10:23am

Maybe it's the vpn I'm using then, anyone get it to work with surfshark?

I tried with Express VPN,didn't work. Then downloaded Hola and that worked. Uninstalled Hola then

No, I pretty much followed the guide in the OP. I used Tunnelbear as my travel agent.
My Revolut card is about 2-3 years old, not sure if that makes a difference.

just changed from Argentina to Turkey using proton vpn , took my revolut card and I had already verified my Irish phone number beforehand so no problem there , thanks for all the advice posted from previous bargain hunters in this thread .

Tried all the above to no avail. last thing to do is change from revolut to aib debit card for the first payement and log on that way.

GBX · 13-05-2021 2:30pm

My Irish month finished but had an issue with updating my card. Now it seems none of my cards are being accepted be it on the Irish or Turkey site.

drogon. · 13-05-2021 6:14pm

Anyone else having an odd issue, if you head into "Manage payment info" there is no card details anymore ?
Must be a bug, but wondering if it is just me.

Can i ask whey did you move to Turkey from Argentina. I thought Argentina is cheaper and has bigger library.

there's a digital tax in Argentina which brings the monthly 4 screen price to over 10 euro while the price from turkey is around the 5-6 euro mark depending on currency exchange rates .

Library isn't equated to sign-up country, you can use a VPN and get that country's library easily

FINALLY got this to work! After multiple failed attempts with my physical Revolut Visa card, I applied for a Curve card and was able to use that successfully this time around. My VPN was fine all along. Set region to Turkey and was charged 4.01 EUR.

clint_silver · 21-05-2021 10:22am

Am on this last 2 years, paying through Turkey on revolut exchange

Got denied payment this morning, Netflix asking to update payment details. Nothing wrong with the card, tried another revolut card, refused as well.

Anyone else?

4real · 21-05-2021 10:27am

my revolut card also not working.

clint_silver · 21-05-2021 12:22pm

Its revolut.

Revolut made some changes with virtual cards and converted them to debit cards which changes the nature of them.

Theyve done this without consent and Ive got the "sorry about that, we did it with our customers best interest in mind" :mad::mad:

Netflix have this on their payment options so it could well be that they dont accept virtual debit cards.

"
Virtual Cards

We accept virtual cards in select markets. If your virtual card is declined, please choose a different payment method."

Revolut chat support offered to either create a new card or "unterminate" my existing virtual one which Ive opted for. I'll see how this goes.

Netflix said to leave it 4 hours before trying again.

Sleeper12 · 21-05-2021 12:24pm

Don't forget if all else fails netflix vouchers work perfectly. Slightly more expensive

GBX · 21-05-2021 12:31pm

Makes sense but my physical cards were not accepted by Netflix either.

small further update. I got a different rev support guy on he said all users were told about this change via email. Sure enough buried amongst a million other mails I dont read, there it is saying virtual cards will stop working after 19 may so as your service providor (for me its netflix/youtube/prime) goes to take the next payment, expect them to start failing.

There is a new debit card in my cards now. Im going to try that with Netflix later on. Netflix chat support pretty good.
