    Netflix doesn't care that we are buying through turkey as they pay less tax on the income earned there than they would on income earned in ireland /UK.

    Just an FYI, I just received an an email saying "We have recently failed to validate payment information, we are aware of their own, Thus, we must ask you to complete a short validation process in order to verify your billing and payment."

    As you can see from the poor English, it's just spam. I know some people said they received an email mentioning payment method. Just be careful folks. Sometimes coincidences like this can have people drop their guard.

    I get these on a weekly basis. I'd only take any note if Netflix stopped working on renewal day

    Is there a way to switch to another country (around the monthly renewal) without losing the viewing history on your account?

    As long as you re-subscribe within 10 months, you keep your viewing history, profiles etc as far as I'm aware.

    https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2018/0814/984960-turkish-lira-edges-up-from-record-low/

    The lira, which closed at 6.9 per dollar yesterday, has weakened 45% this year, hit by worries over President Tayyip Erdogan's calls for lower interest rates and worsening ties with the United States.

    Hey Guys,

    Just a heads up on cheap netflix, not sure if this is posted already.

    Connect with a Turkish IP address (Use a VPN or Hola) sign up and get billed in Turkish Lira, currently the best deal, next cheapest is Mexican Pesos:

    Base (SD):
    Turkey 2.00 € / 15.99TRY Mexico 5.05 € / MXN109 - 1 Device
    Standard (HD): - Turkey 3.51 € / 27.99TRY Mexico 6.90 € / MXN149 - 2 Devices
    Premium (UHD): Turkey 5.01 € / 39.99TRY Mexico 9.22 € / MXN199 - 4 devices

    Instructions for existing customers:
    1. Cancel the existing subscription and wait for it to expire.
    2. Join a VPN to Turkey / Mexico / Canada.
    3. Log in with the account and click reactivate subscription.

    Make sure when you see the amount on the Netflix page it in TRY or MXN.

    After you've done that then just disconnect from Hola/VPN whatever and it will revert back to Ireland. Continue watching as normal but your billing will continue in that currency.

    5 euros a month for the UHD Subscription is a pretty good deal :) of course if the Lira recovers then Pesos might be a better deal (the free trial period is included as well of course)

    Combine it with your Revolut or N26 Card for best results :)

    I think it'll be one of those things that become so well known that Netflix will do something to counteract it. That seems to be a new thread on HDUK even though it's been on there a few times already.

    So for HD and 2 screens its 27.99 in turkey, does that mean I could top up a revolut card with say €50ish and exchange to Lira and not worry about Lira improving for the year?

    Assuming Netflix don't raise the price in response to the currency troubles (which isn't necessarily a safe assumption), then yes.

    I'm considering putting a group together for myself and a few friends and just have some questions that i hope someone can answer:

    Currently I pay the regular price for netflix and have built up a profile, this is linked to my@emailaddress.ie (just an example)

    If I sign up for netflix turkey is there anyway I can keep my profile linked my current email address?

    I'm aware of how to use the VPN to sign up, but how are people who are sharing the family plan doing this?

    Is it best to create a brand new email address and password and share that with the others or whats the best way to do it?

    Hope someone can clarify


    Thank guys

    I used my existing netflix account to switch to the Turkey pricing. Kept all my watch history and profiles etc. It's simple, these are the steps I did last week:
    1. Cancel my existing subscription
    2. The day the existing subscription expires, connect to the VPN
    3. Log in to Netflix as normal with the existing account. it will ask you to reactivate your accout.
    4. Ensure the price displayed when reactivating matches the country you are connecting to via VPN.
    5. Reactivate as you normally would. (I updated my payment method to use revolut at this point)

    It's very straight forward if you already have a VPN.

    I don't see how it matters if you use an existing account or a new one when sharing with a group, can just create the profiles on your existing account

    I installed Hola as an extension, have it disabled at the moment. Think my subscription is up tomorrow so will enable it to sign up for the Turkish one and then delete it. Don't like how the free VPNs mostly use your IP for others.

    Netflix are probably working on something to stop this happening. I'm sure they know about it.

    I've tried Hola Premium as a Chrome Extension & Hola on mobile, with both set to Turkey & I'm still getting full price in € showing up. I've tried clearing cache/cookie/history & disabling location but to no avail. If anyone has any tips I'd be grateful

    I didn't use the premium. Worked on Hola free as an extension (on pc).

    Make sure Turkey is selected and then go to Netflix through the extension. It should open a new browser window when you select Turkey.
