I just seen the last few posts and was wondering do I have to do the same re changing to revolut before I renew when I have an Irish account?
Are the steps below correct?

My billing day is 23 Jan so...

1. Change my BOI card to revolut now and make sure my Irish phone number is on the account.
2. Cancel Netflix on 22 Jan and log out of netflix on everything
3. 09 Feb Unlimited VPN to Turkey
4. Incognito Netflix Account Page
5. Renew membership with my revolut card.
6. Feck VPN out the window
7. Netflix and chill for €4.70 a month all in

Or do I stop at step 1, let a revolut payment go through and continue the steps after cancelling on 22 Feb instead?

Change your bank card now. A payment will go through on Jan 23rd. Cancel on Jan 24th. After a month plus a day (Feb 25th) get on to TKY Netflix via VPN and sign back up. DO NOT mess with your bank card/payment type at this stage, or you’ll likely have to start the whole process again.

Since I had to cancel my last Revolut card, I can't update my payment method on my Netflix account at all anymore - it won't even accept my Irish bank card, logging in directly with no VPN

Does this still work ok if using Paypal or traditional bank card (AIB, BOI etc.)?
I've been paying via Turkey with Curve for a long time, but looking to do it for a relative now who I think uses PayPal, or an irish bank card. They wouldn't be interested in setting up curve etc. so want to keep it with their current "traditional" payment method, despite the marginal fx difference.

I have an IP through work and I'm getting the following error :

There appears to be a problem with the payment method you are trying to use.

Any idea how to fix this guys? I am using revolut ?

This comes up for me too when I try go on the Turkish website. Works for Argentina for me though

I use AIB debit card no problem.

So changing to revolut is just to get the better exchange rate is it?

use any card you prefer it is all the same, revolut etc does save a few quid over the year but what ever works is fine

Good to know, thanks both - I thought I had remembered people talking about their banks blocking transactions like this earlier in the thread - nice to get confirmation.

Just do it the way it’s been described to work a hundred times in this thread. When you start adding specific to you things like ‘my work ip’ you’re not doing it the same and expecting others to know. Follow the instructions to the letter. Don’t introduce stuff that you think will be handier for you.

Signup to Irish Netflix. Add payment Method and phone number. Cancel the sub. The day you lose service login to Netflix using a known to work VPN set to turkey and pick a plan.

It’s very very easy.

Did you let a payment go through against the Revolut on IRL Netflix, and then cancel, and try sign up on TKY Netflix a month later?

I was getting the same error as you when I tried to just change my payment type and sign up to TKY Netflix without doing the above. Got the error regardless of card I used (Revolut, Curve, N26)

Gumbo · 20-01-2021 12:22pm

OK Guys, thanks so far.

I have an existing Netflix Account set up for recurring payment though PayPal for the last few years.

To confirm correct procedure ;

Log into PayPal and remove Netflix from my automatic payments?
Then once I have no access on the next billing date (9th Feb), use my VPN to log in through Argentina or whatever country works and sign back up with Revolut?

Thanks.

change payment details and let that process for a billing period first and then change, add a mobile too if one is not added

Thanks, so I've done the following ;

1. Changed Payment Method to Revolut. Its changed when I log in and they took €1 test payment which has already been reverted, so I assume payment method is working fine.

2. Mobile Number is added to Account.

Do I now let it go through a billing fee on 9th Feb, then cancel the next day. Then around the 9th March (or when the service drops) reactivate using VPN from chosen country or do I just cancel and then reactivate from chosen country straight away after the 9th Feb?

Thanks.

Trying to log in to

netflix.com/tr-en

but it keeps redirecting me to

netflix.com/nl-en

Using keep should vpn

Any ideas?

Go incognito and just search netflix, if your vpn is working then Netflix will send you to Turkey, no need for the full address

Thanks

Didn't even need to go incognito, just typed netflix.com with the vpn set to Turkey and it automatically redirected me there.

What free vpn are you using please?

Curb Your Enthusiasm · 23-01-2021 12:12am

Got sorted this evening

Many thanks folks

I'm currently on a Mexican payment plan paid through revolut, due to renew next week. Can I cancel this and reactivate for turkey using the vpn?

I don't have a phone number linked to Mexican account

CrazyFather1 · 23-01-2021 10:58am

Im in Mexico as well, if you change do you need a new email address or can you use current one?

jonerkinsella · 23-01-2021 2:02pm

I've been trying to set up through Turkey with Windscribe. I've tried Chrome and Firefox. I am getting blocked from signing up with either browser.
What vpn is free that will work ?

Thanks.

Hola worked for me on pc

I've installed Hola and trying to use it. It seems to be awful. I have Turkey selected and it still keeps taking me to ie NF. I cant work it out.

jonerkinsella · 23-01-2021 2:34pm

Use incognito mode

Do I actually need to set up an account and register with Hola to use the free service ?

I can't get it to work at all.

Is it worth your while changing to Turkey ? If it’s cheap in Mexico why now leave it

Roughly about €8 in Mexico for the middle package. Turkey is €3.50 so would be worthwhile I think

jonerkinsella · 23-01-2021 2:55pm

I can't get Hola to work. That's now uninstalled. 3 vpn's now without success.
I'll try Tunnel bear.

Ron. · 23-01-2021 2:59pm

If that’s the difference then anyone paying via Mexico is crazy

Ya I've been meaning to switch for awhile now. I was paying 6 euro when I signed up. It has gradually increased due to the exchange.

Hola works
Vpn unlimited works
Tunnel bear works

It’s a simple process that takes a minute when done properly, when connected to the vpn make sure it works then use incognito mode and search Netflix

Is it the vpn or the user in most of these cases

Hola is far too convoluted for me. Way too much work.
Tunnel bear does not work for Turkey.
I have Windscribe, but NF seems to detect it and block it.

jonerkinsella · 23-01-2021 3:26pm

I got it to work on Windscribe. I went through all the steps, but when I get to card details, it will not accept my cards. I tried EBS debit and AIB credit card.

This is a mission.

ps, I am setting up a new account. I do not have an existing account with NF.

Thanks for this. If I select the basic plan when setting up an Irish account then can I update to the premium version with the Turkey Netflix after 1 month?

Thanks
