Open an account in the UK which is 7.99 GBP = 9.02.
I think you need to have a UK IP to sign up or it keeps redirecting to Irish site. Also I suspect you need to use a different credit card. In my case I used a revolut card I have.
I've logged on using my irish IP and the account works. 3 euro saving a month. (and if you sign up again you get another free month...)
Quick and dirty FAQ here - anyone want to amend or add to it?

Q: What’s this about cheap Netflix subscriptions? A: Yes, if you purchase and/or setup renewal of Netflix in another country using the likes of a VPN, you’ll then pay for Netflix in that currency. Q: What’s this VPN deal-i-o? A: Essentially it’ll spoof your IP Address to appear that you’re in another country. There are many paid ones and free ones - including HolaVPN. Q: OK.. I’m with you. I’m an existing Netflix subscriber in Ireland - what do I do? A: You need to cancel your recurring subscription on the Netflix site, then wait it has lapsed, and then re-activate using a VPN. Q: I haven’t subscribed to Netflix yet - what do I do? A: How’s life been in that cave for the past 10 years? ![]() Q: OK, I’ve subscribed now - what do I do with the VPN? Leave it open.. A: If you’re using HolaVPN.. GOD NO… disable it / remove it / take it out back and shoot it in the face. You’re set up your recurring payment, you don’t need it anymore. If you’re using a paid VPN, you don’t need it to browse just because you’re set up payment in a different country. Disable it to access UK/Irish catalogue and / or enable it if you want to access say Netflix in another country. If you know how to do this, you’ve probably no need to read this FAQ! ![]() Q: Hold on, I was charged €3 last month and was charged €3.40 this month. A: Remember, you’re paying in a foreign currency so it will fluctuate - but it should still work out considerably cheaper. Q: What’s the cheapest to pay in at the minute? A: I’m not sure but I’m assuming it’s still Turkish Lira but as above, it can fluctuate. Spreadsheet here indicating current conversions between local currencies and euro may help you decide. Q: Can I get it even cheaper? A: Well, you can add a Revolut card and pay via that. Just ensure it’s topped up. Another tip is topping up your Revolut account considerably (say enough for a year's sub) while exchange rate is in your favour, and then it'll be deducted from that. Oh, and there is a Revolut thread here full of helpful people to help with any questions you may have on specifics of that. |
