Trying to reactive today using Cyberghost VPN. It recognises I'm in Turkey, price showing in TL, but when I try to subscribe I get:

I'm using the same Revolut card I had always used. Even if I try use my TSB card, or a virtual Revolut card different to my physical one, same issue.

Any ideas?

It’s mad how complicated this becomes with the way people are trying to pay , convert to LIRa , add Turkish numbers etc . Just short of do I need to speakTurkish .

If you just follow the basic instructions constantly repeated here it should work fine .

Apart from those who do follow the instructions here and it doesn't work fine.

Worked fine for me. Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be for you ?

So basically cancel current sub then when expires reactivate plan through a VPN and pay with revolut?

Change current payment plan to Revolut.
Let one monthly sub transaction process normally to ensure it’s working correctly.
Once processed, cancel sub.
Wait for Netflix to stop working.
Reactivate through a VPN in country of choice.

I am signed up via Argentina but just noticed on Revolut I am being charged $736 ARS which works out at between €7-8 the last few months but when I log into Netflix it says I am only paying $449 ARS - any ideas? Cheers.

Pinkman: Can I clarify that the digital tax is applied to your payment but isn't in the total shown on screen?

No need to add lira to your account, Revolut will do it automatically for you
Did you have the Revolut on an Irish sub before moving to Turkey ?

No

If thatâ€™s the difference then anyone paying via Mexico is crazy

I bought a years worth of Mexican currency when I moved netflix to Mexico. Currency has increased since then. I'll move to Turkey when I run out of Mexican on my revolut

VeryRapidSkoda · 24-01-2021 1:09pm

The simple way around it is to buy netflix turkey gift cards. I had the same problem with payment method and nothing worked. So I just used revolt for my turkish lira then turned on VPN and went to G2A.com (you need vpn on otherwise they block you) to buy the gift card.
The top ultra hd package is 41.99 trl which is about a fiver a month.
Buy 100 trl gift card for 123trl and redeem and your good to go.
I bought 300trl which is about 40 euro for nearly 8 months.

Not as simple as the main solution recommended here .

Can anyone explain how to get Netflix Turkey?

Fingers Mcginty · 24-01-2021 2:29pm

I'm paying 12.78 a month for the 2 screen plan...how much cheaper is the turkish netflix?

It's about €4.70 for the full plan with 4k etc. in Turkey.

It's 29.99 Turkish lira or about 3.30 a month currently.
For 2 screen plan like you have now.

Fingers Mcginty · 24-01-2021 2:37pm

wow that's fantastic. I have an account here.
I've ljust registered my mobile ...now it's just a matter of cancelling the subscription and then doing the do with the VPN etc?

Fingers Mcginty · 24-01-2021 2:54pm

I have the netflix app built into my vodafone TV box. Will it still work or does it only work on a computer with VPN switched on?

Credit Checker Moose · 24-01-2021 3:01pm

You will have to do the setup on a computer with VPN. After that you can use the Vodafone box.

Not in yellow though, that's not great on the default theme :pac:

Davew3 · 24-01-2021 6:22pm

Has anyone gone through incognito on chrome and can’t log in on Netflix ?
Account name and password correct but won’t let me in says wrong password.
Does it when using several vpns ( cyber ghost, windscribe etc ) but the same issue on them each time.
Let’s me in when not using vpn. Strange.

Thanks OmegaGene. I've put that up in OP and made a small few mods to ensure there is total clarity.
Anyone asking the general question should be directed to the OP from now on.

How essential is it to log out of ALL devices? I think I’m logged in everywhere from my mother’s iPad to a TV in the school my wife teaches in. Surely some places I’ve forgotten too.

Do you need a Turkish brand TV to watch this?

Yes and you need to be eating a Turkish Delight exactly when you renew.

May have found a little workaround to having to let a payment go through for a month on a new card, I'll know after midnight.

After I changed the card on my account I changed the payment date too which looked for a pro rata payment. Took the payment from Revolut and then I contacted support and asked them to cancel the change and they refunded the payment.

Yes, exactly that. Eventually I had to get on to Chat.
Apparently it is one of their automatic safeguards, triggered by "unusual activity". The system will reset, automatically, in 24 hours and you should be free to go then. Tech support didn't give a damn where exactly we were.

Like that’s not going to raise a flag with Netflix accounts, doing this is already cheating the system so why bother messing with it

All comes to all and they cancel the account I'll just set up a new one

Done and dusted, 41.99 TL per month

Finished my holiday in Argentina and took a stop off in Turkey on the way home, and got it all set up no bother using VPN Unlimited and Curve. Nice one.

A discount on paid brainwashing - brilliant!

Full disclosure, I have free access to Netflix and just finished watching a Netflix series yesterday. I still dislike the apparent agenda behind their programming choices.

Netflix blocked the use of prepaid cards a while ago. This doesn't affect existing subscriptions unless you cancel and then resubscribe like you have done.

If your Revolut card is prepaid, it will have 'prepaid' written on it in small writing somewhere (if it's a physical card). In that case, you can setup another card on your Revolut account (if you don't have any already). Newer Revolut cards are coded as 'debit' and the physical cards have 'debit' written on them.

If your existing payment card is rejected while trying to sign up to a Turkish subscription, it's pointless trying other cards at that stage. You'll have to sign up for another month of Irish Netflix to change the card details.

If I set up a Family Premium plan, would 3 people be interested in joining it for the year?

Click the three vertical dots (top right) in Chrome -> more tools - extensions
click the Hola details and enable Allow in incognito radio button

feargantae · 26-01-2021 5:20pm

I've been paying for my account with Turkish giftcards for a few months now (100 Lira for ~€12 = 2 months of 4K Netflix and a bit)

From reading this thread am i right in thinking i need to wait for the giftcards to be used up, resub @Irish prices for a month and then I'll be able to add my card?

Currently getting the dreaded error

DavyD_83 · 27-01-2021 11:15am

I've only ever had the basic, 1 screen at a time account. With lockdown were having more situations where multiple at once will be useful. I finally got around to doing this (after cancelling existing sub last week)
I have no idea why I waited so long. Way more service for <€5 per month.
Thanks all!!

I've done it, I've finally done it. This has been driving me nuts for months now. I used to keep getting the "there is a problem with your payment method".
Even though I have two different vpn subscriptions it was free hola that worked in the end. Quad vpn allowed me to go all the way through to payment but then payment problem, express vpn would only show me prices in US$. I used curve with my revolut card linked to it.

McMurphy · 27-01-2021 3:33pm

My friends neighbors cousin said if you wrap your telly in a turkey oven bag you don't even need a VPN.

*Haven't tried it*

(So don't be giving out to me if it doesn't work)

KTBFFH · 27-01-2021 5:37pm

I will be setting up a Family Premium account, so if someone wants to join shoot me a PM.

Was the VPN the issue or the card you tried to use?
I use VPN Unlimited and its giving me the Problem with your payment method.

Note: i set location on VPN to turkey, then tried to setup a new account, using revolut.
Do I need to set up a working Irish account first and then cancel it after a month.
What purpose does this serve?
