Same happened to me, went on chat early one morning and got sorted.

Are you asked for a phone number for Turkey now too??
Mine is due to expire on Saturday (I couldn't get it to take a card last month so had to pay full again but now I have a Curve ready to try).

Same here. Waited the 24hrs and got back onto them on chat. Still no joy though. Blamed the bank and told me to buy a gift card instead or somehow pay though vodafone. Not sure how to get Turkish Netflix now. Should I have clicked "Reset my payment details" when setting you the chat?

Zapy · 18-09-2020 10:17am

Similar situation to most on here, but got everything sorted via live chat support.

My wifes revolut card had a dodgy transaction, so card was cancelled. I forgot all about the Netflix subscription (paid in Turkish Liras) which was being deducted from her card each month. So the Netflix payment failed last week and the service stopped. I jumped onto my Turkey via VPN and tried to switch over to my revolut card, but no joy. Also tried switching to KBC and Ulster bank debit cards but again no joy. Then I turned off VPN and tried all cards again, but still no luck.

Then I tried the live chat and told them I was having issues trying to pay.
She asked what country I was in...I said Turkey.
She asked if I was using a VPN...I said No...I was of course logged into the chat session via VPN to turkey.
Then up popped a form, I banged in my revolut details and payment goes through straight away in Turkish Liras!

Did I just get lucky??

Old Jim · 18-09-2020 10:43am

Think she knew my credit card was not from Turkey. She told me to go to Turkey and try it from there!
Anyone get an Irish credit card to work through the chat?

Seems like you did! I had the exact same scenario, contacted support chat and they told me it was just a "generic decline" and they didn't know why it was happening. Nothing they could do, they said!

That's strange as I was also told it's a 'generic decline', but they went ahead and popped up the payment form within chat which allowed the revolut payment to go through.

Not sure what to make of it, but it does show that it's possible to switch to a different revolut card.

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?

You seem to be taking a more moral stance. I’m just looking for a cheaper subscription.

Johnny Derpp · 19-09-2020 9:26am

I tried using netflix with a vpn but it won't let me. Netflix seems to know and tells me it won't work with a vpn on.
How do I get around this?

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.

Can anyone recommend a VPN to use with Turkey Netflix, there are so many options, and some are 3 years upfront for the lowest monthly price, eg VPN unlimited.

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

bigboss1986 · 19-09-2020 5:25pm

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

No he didnt.Netflix had his irish mobile and all he had to do was to confirm that was correct phone number

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

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.

Link or website not accessible from Ireland. Got error message.

I think the problem with buying these is that it can be blacklisted or stopped anytime.

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.

Ya, i read the last few pages. the order i did was:

Turn on vpn, selecting Turkey server
Find Netflix Turkey, Sign up & select plan, enter card number.

I thought, if i selected a plan on Netflix Ireland first, I would be tied into the Netflix Ireland priced plan ?

Sorry, its a little confusing, so i do the Ireland setup first, and then, after that, i do the vpn part ?

I understood from this, that the first step is signing up to Netflix Turkey, while vpn is turned on:

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.

Thank you for the “extra” assistance !

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.

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

BobMc · 21-09-2020 3:10pm

i'm on mexico at moment, finally going to move, no mobile number on the android app can I add Irish no. now ?

and let it lapse on this account and just re join next month from next region ?

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.

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

So load the new card, then cancel sub and then "go to Turkey" and rejoin?

Should be able to do most actions without VPN. Changing card may need you to move home for a month though.

Don't rejoin until your subs have lapsed :cool: Mine lapsed last night - I rejoined today through the VPN - Apparently I am now in Turkey!!

No change to service only the payment is now in Turkish Lira

Mine lapsed on Saturday
I got My BOI card removed from my account yesterday.
I've tried rejoining from Turkey with Irish cards, Revolut, Curve and Monese all of which aren't accepted.

Is the trick to change payment card before the lapse?

Maybe that is the case. I changed the card last week some time and then left the account lapse. It worked without any issues - these kind of things usually don't work out for me so I was surprised
