    The end of my current sub is due on the 17th.. I changed to Revolut as payment method before last payment was taken and then cancelled my sub after it was paid. I just looked at my physical Revolut card that is setup for payment and its a Visa with expiry 2025. Before I sign up again on the 17th should I expect any issues with that type of card?

    If you read all the posts here it looks like it can go either way. I have full 3 weeks before I try this.

    You don't need Revolut. The reason why people are using revolut is because you are purchasing the product in different currencies. If you use your bank card you will pay higher bank charges and fees for currency exchange then you would pay with Revolut.

    Some people are also opting for gift card instead of the monthly payment on the card . Easier to control your outgoings and no currency fluctuation.

    Hi Guys,
    Im trying to do this for a friend. He has let his sub expire without changing payment method to Revoult.
    It's rejecting the card now when I try to resubscribe. Will we have to restart the irish sub and update the payment method before cancelling again or has anyone a work around?

    Hi.

    Lots of people talking about using Virtual Cards on Revolut.

    I don't have Revolut... would I need their Premium service which costs 8 euro a month or could i use the free Revolut card for this workaround to get Netflix from Turkey.

    Thanks.

    This worked for me this week.
    Let my existing sub expire. The day after that, installed Hola, selected Turkey, verifed was a turkish IP address, Netflix offered me the Turkish options, renewed without having to enter any new card details (still using a PTSB Visa Debit)
    Very straightforward process.
    Thanks to posters here - yet another reason why this is a great site!

    Got email from Revolut to say my Virtual Card would be replaced in 60 days, i have been using this to pay for Turkish Netflix, so fired up the Turkish Nord VPN, logged into Netflix to change payment to my Physical Revolute card, shocker!!! it was not accepted, so i tried my N26 card and it was accepted , panic averted, might be worth trying N26 if you are having problems signing up

    Has already been stated but paying by Revolut via curve no longer seems to be working, FYI. Tried and failed, with Curve, twice.
    Successfully changed my membership today after one month on an Irish plan as OP says to do.

    -signed in as normal
    -acted as if I was renewing my Irish plan, continued until I got to the page where I can change/update my payment details
    -changed my payment details to my Revolut Virtual Card and accepted this change of payment method
    -ONLY THEN used free version of Hola unblocker to change IP to Turkey, and when I did Netflix automatically reloaded and was offering me the Turkish plans
    -chose the Family plan and now have 4 screens for €4.75/month

    Between this and Spotify Family, Boards has saved me a lot of cash.

    This worked for me, although I used my Curve card, instead of a Revolut virtual card.
    I tried two Revolut virtual cards but Netflix wouldn’t accept them, so I tried Curve instead.
    I think my Revolut wasn’t accepted because of the currency being set to Sterling, at least that seemed to be the error anyway.
    The payment went through on my BOI card, which is my backup payment method on Curve, Revolut is the primary payment method.

    I also used Windscribe VPN, not Hola, and I had to refresh the page after I’d updated my card details, the page didn’t refresh automatically for me.

    The price for the 4 screens package was also €6.21.

    There seems to have been a Netflix price increase in Turkey recently, which explains the jump to €6.21.
    Is Turkey still the cheapest for 4 screens at €6.21?

    Delighted with this though, Netflix isn't worth €18 a month, and if I hadn't got this working, I would have just dropped it completely.
    Thanks everyone.

    I can't post a link as I'm a new user, but this is an article quote. Taken from aroged.com, which was the top link when I searched "Netflix Turkey price increase". 55 Turkish Lira is €6.12, according to current currency conversion.
    With the increased prices, 17.99 TL Basic Plan namely single screen package 26.99 TLto 29.99 Standart Plan namely the two-screen plan 40.99 TLfrom 41.99 TL Special Plan so if the package with 4 screens and UHD 54.99 TLrose to.

    Making a statement about the updated prices, Netflix conveys the issue as follows;

    “To enrich our content and quality of our services we are updating our libraries in Turkey to further increase membership fees. With this change, we will continue to offer productions suitable for all ages and tastes with an entertainment experience that adds pleasure to our members’ lives. As of March 4, we have shaped our monthly fees as follows: Basic plan 26.99 TL, Standard plan 40.99 TL, Special plan 54.99 TL. As always, our members will be able to choose from these three plans that we offer the most suitable option for them. “

    You likely got this months price before it kicked it. Expect it to possibly rise next month.

    Signed up for the basic sub on Irish Netflix for a month. I let it expire. Then I used vpn and switched to turkey. I selected the top package and it worked. Was so straightforward. Thanks a lot guys.

    Now, if only I could do it with Disney+. It seems impossible

    Download Indian Discovery+ app from apk mirror. It will work. They have separate app for India.

    Things to do,

    1. Get an Indian subscription with a vpn. I used nord vpn. An year subscription costs under 5 euros
    2. Download the app from apk mirror and sideload to TV
    3. From the indian discovery+ site, go to "Link TV" and enter the code you get on the TV app

    Enjoy...

    Need the VPN to watch on the phone anyway. Possibly could start whatever you want to watch then turn off the VPN if you were using a different device.
    The location check happens before the program plays I am on the phone now because I'm watching something else on TV and it seems to keep playing after VPN goes off but when I switch to a different app it won't play when I click back in (i am assuming it's because it checks location again)

    No. Discovery+ is country specific . You need the Indian specific app.

    After many attempts with various VPNs and cards I'll just detail what worked from me. Of course this is all bits and pieces from other posters previously which i am very grateful to:

    1. Set up Curve (I linked my Revolut to Curve but I'm sure a regular bank credit card may work)
    2. Go through the Restart Membership (with no VPN) and go to add new credit card. Add the new card and click through to Next
    3. Now turn on your Hola VPN to Turkey and you will see membership prices change from EUR to TRY
    4. Submit and then Oila

    Agh FFS

    After all the build up, I made a boo boo!

    I cancelled last month, stopped working this morning.
    Logged in from Argentina instead of turkey as ARS was in my head from the You Tube Sub!!

    Worked perfect, but obviously paying €10 instead of the lower Turkish amount, still an €8 saving on last month but :(

    Anyway, question, has anyone swapped from Argentina to Turkey ok?
    I presume its the normal process, cancel Argentina and wait the month and then restart from Turkey?

    It's rejecting the card now when I try to resubscribe. Will we have to restart the irish sub and update the payment method before cancelling again or has anyone a work around?

    Most likely needs to reactivate from Ireland with the new payment card. Allow one payment to go through and start the process of switching again.

    Did all the steps as described. Payment went through on my virtual revolut card last month for Irish sub. Account was cancelled yesterday and went to turkey today and now it wont let me restart saying an issue with the card. Set up curve card today and tried that as well. still no joy. Using surfshark VPN, also tried winscribe and neither worked.

    Are the vouchers a good option?

    A VPN, or Virtual Private Network is basically something that creates a "tunnel" from your network connection to others. It's usually used by businesses for privacy, when connecting to their office servers etc.

    In more recent times it has been something that people use to mimic connections from foreign countries, Turkey in this case.

    You turn on your VPN, set to Turkey, and if everything goes swimmingly, Netflix will think you're in Turkey.

    Netflix will seemly block payments on an account t that looks fishy. Wait 24 hours and try again. Seemly if they see multiply payment attempts this can happen.

    I couldn't add my new revolut as my main card but tried a similar method to make it my backup payment option which worked first time.

    Without vpn on I used MS edge to log onto Netflix ireland account settings. From the account options I selected add backup payment method. I was brought to the payment details page.

    At this point I turned on the VPN and entered the new mastercard details and it was accepted. I was given the option to make it the default card which I did.

    Tried this with my new virtual card and Keepsolid/VPN unlimited and no joy.

    Will try again tomorrow

    Yes . its weird how for some it works at first go and the same process for others is no go at all.

    I see lots of people are getting stuck when they try to renew , at the point of adding new card.
    Is this step only way to get it, I mean could you add backup card and then when try to renew once its expired with making backup car primary? Has anyone tried this.

    Other thing that works for sure is when renewal fails while still connected to VPN select purchase gift card and that will bring 3 (Turkish) locations to buy .

    I think it's just not meant to be for me! After brushing up on my Turkish I managed to buy a gift card. Took about 10 minutes to get it which was great. Thought I was all set, entered the gift card details. I was then greeted with the message,we can not redeem this card due to an error, try again later!

    I'm hoping it will be ok tomorrow after all my various attempts today
