Just use the bluestacks trick, it's on the F1 tv thread. Though I thought Disney plus was like Netflix and didn't engage with play store purchasing.

Sleeper12 · 30-03-2022 11:09pm

I'll check that out. Thanks

Inviere · 31-03-2022 5:57pm

Can anyone help me decipher the updated part of the OP, I genuinely can't understand it (have read it several times). Here's how I read it at the moment:

Opens with - "enter the payment method you wish to use when you move to your chosen country" what does this even mean?

1) sign up to Irish Netflix for a month, cancel, then let it lapse.

2) begin process of renewing sub

3) enter the payment method of chosen country (confused, what chosen country...only step 3 here... )

4) enter a genuine mobile number for account recovery.

5) cancel subscription (again??)

6) renew sub using a vpn via an incognito tab.

It also doesn't seem to mention these vouchers everyone is talking about, linked above.

I'm obviously reading it all arseways, can anyone help?

Also trying to add my new Revolut card as back up card but keep getting error when trying to add. Did you manage to get it sorted out?

podge018 · 07-04-2022 4:14pm

Having just loaded up a gift card I'm not sure why anybody would bother faffing about trying to get Irish bank cards to work. So easy and it automatically becomes default payment so I didn't even have to delete my expiring bank card.

I think works out a little more expensive but with the currency so low at the moment its great value

0ph0rce0 · 07-04-2022 5:21pm

I had it had setup with revolut, had 2 years left on my card but it's being replaced and can't seem to add another card without the Turkish phone number.

Just bought multiple 200TL vouchers form TUR for less than 80 euro. 70 something euro and I'm good now until april 2024. Going by Irish prices that would have cost me 503.76 euro.

A saving of 420-430 quid. Canny go wrong.

Lucas Hood · 07-04-2022 5:24pm

Looks like Turkey are increasing price.

https://www.dailysabah.com/business/tech/netflix-hikes-prices-in-turkey-by-around-40

"Accordingly, the basic package fee, which was TL 26.99 ($1.83), increased to TL 37.99 ($2.58), the standard package fee was raised from TL 40.99 to TL 57.99, and the special package fee from TL 54.99 to TL 77.99."

Confirmed on netflix site.

Ohmeha · 07-04-2022 5:51pm

Quite hefty increases for them, still pretty cheap for us

bazz26 · 07-04-2022 6:06pm

TL 77.99 works out at about €4.86 for the top package which is still along way from than the €20.99 being charged here.

I had problems adding my new Revolut card as a backup card a few pages back but eventually it accepted it after reducing my Revolut Euro wallet to zero. That way when it verified the new card by deducting a nominal amount it took it from my TL wallet. I think by default with Revolut it takes it in Euro first which was rejected by Netflix as it wasn't the country where I signed up. Youtubepremium has already worked with the new Revolut card so just Prime Video and Netflix both from Turkey to test and will know if a few days if they work or not.

About a fiver all in with the increase. When I signed up a few years back that was about the price 5-7 euro depending on the Turkish rate.

I think I've watched one series on netfllix since it started about 20 odd years ago but I have to have it at that price 😂

Lucas Hood · 07-04-2022 9:06pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118895136#Comment_118895136

41% increase for top plan.

yrrag1974 · 08-04-2022 6:44am

All set up - just a note to say thanks to all the posters. Actually had my Revolut already set up on Irish account as payment method so it's still there on Turkish account. Anyway used vouchers and all set up til Sept.

Just one thing I came across that may help people. I bought 2 vouchers - input 1 at re-signup through the VPN and worked fine but when I went to add the second one it said error. Came out of VPN and logged in normally and voucher was accepted fine. No idea why that happened but may save someone else 5 mins of pain.

Cheers all

I've tried this twice today and both times it failed at payment. I didn't connect to VPN to do this, is this an issue? It lets me get to the point of the payment processing and then fails out - tried my Revolut and normal bank cards...

Wheety · 08-04-2022 10:13pm

Was coming in here to see the best way to change my Revolut card as they're being updated.

Then remembered, I had changed it to Curve so the money can be charged to our Irish (joint) Credit Card.

So Curve might work for some.

Randomly the order that failed changed its mind and processed, so I'm sorted to Christmas now...

living · 09-04-2022 7:28am

After using 2 gift cards the page started to refuse the rest (I bought 5). I went to the chat and they redeemed the other 3 for me.

CastorTroy · 09-04-2022 12:18pm

Sorry if it was asked, but what time does the Netflix sub end? It still says it's the last day to stream even though it was due to expire on the 8th.

Del007 · 09-04-2022 2:13pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118856932#Comment_118856932

I bought a code for 100 TL from there and tried to add it.

On Netflix, it's saying that the code entered is not valid, any idea why this is?

Thanks

CastorTroy · 09-04-2022 2:49pm

Just thinking, could the OP be updated with the instructions for using the vouchers being discussed?

campo · 09-04-2022 5:58pm

The Vouchers worked for me, and no need to use a VPN

However, on the voucher page, I did choose Turkey as the activation country.

TheValeyard · 09-04-2022 10:57pm

Strange...Cannot login via Turkey, says password is wrong (i know its not)

TheValeyard · 10-04-2022 12:54pm

Yeah, Ive tried various approached, different VPN, no joy, just says code is not valid, or rejected because of my gmail address. Must be tied to my previous credit card detail, which Netflix will not let me remove.

CastorTroy · 10-04-2022 1:14pm

My sub finally expired. So logged in, got to payment details but said problem with card even though was same Revolut I paid with last month.

So tried buying codes and code wasn't valid.

Will try again later.

Netflix are testing new ways to stop people taking advantage of stuff like that, but it is not illegal. They were told that a couple of years ago.

There is more info about the tests that Netflix are doing linked a page or two back. My guess is that they are testing now, and it'll be back soon. As a side note, as it's not illegal to have visited Turkey, purchased a subscription and cam back to Ireland you can contact Netflix and ask them to reset your password or explain to them that you can't access your account with the correct credentials.

CastorTroy · 10-04-2022 9:34pm

Do the g2a and turgame codes take a while to activate? Bought from both sites but none work.

I clicked to restart my membership, it asked for plan and payment details so same plan and same payment (Revolut) but problem with payment. So tried another payment method using the voucher code but said wasn't valid for 3 g2a and 1 turgame cards I tried.

mistress_gi · 10-04-2022 9:54pm

I redeemed 5 100 lira giftcards from turgame in March and they worked perfectly. Apart from having to change profile every 2 cards

mistress_gi · 10-04-2022 9:54pm

dulpit · 11-04-2022 8:18am

Do the gift cards lock in the price? When I added them it said I'm covered to December, but if they increase price will that move forward, or do I get the old price until cards run out?

11-04-2022 9:38am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118906342#Comment_118906342

I'm having the same issue. Has it worked for you yet?

11-04-2022 10:54am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118909674#Comment_118909674

I ended up just buying 4 x 200TL vouchers and applying them. Should have me covered for 10 months at the highest quality. Cost me €67.63 for the vouchers. I was on the €14.99 p/m package, so saving €82.72 for a better package. If I was on the corresponding package, I would save €142.63

Not bad, not bad at all

CastorTroy · 11-04-2022 1:04pm

The turgame voucher finally worked just now. None of the 3 g2a vouchers worked

Suckit · 11-04-2022 1:51pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118909456#Comment_118909456

No they do not lock in the price. And they will move backwards not forward, forward is into January February so backwards would be October November.

CastorTroy · 11-04-2022 4:00pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118911014#Comment_118911014

Bought them yesterday morning. So still not working over 24 hours later

bazz26 · 11-04-2022 4:19pm

Payment taken today from my recently renewed Revolut card without issue. So happy days continue for a while yet.

Dingaan · 12-04-2022 9:27am

Not sure if this is common knowledge. I got an email from Netflix this morning about a price increase. Increase from 55 to 78 on the top package. Still good value for us.

"We hope you’re enjoying everything Netflix has to offer. We’re updating our prices to bring you more great entertainment. Your monthly price will change to 77.99 TL on May 12, 2022."

Was posted few days ago here. Still cheaper than converted amount 6 months ago

coldfire1x · 12-04-2022 1:50pm

Anyone signed up for a new account via Turkey in last few days or everyone just renewing their subs?

If you did manage to sign up a new account - did it work through Revolut or the vouchers?

Thanks

CastorTroy · 12-04-2022 8:58pm

Yesterday using voucher bought from Turgame, eventually. Revolut wasn't working. Have the card as the backup payment so will see next month if it works.

nedd · 12-04-2022 10:17pm

I just went to update my revolut card details, got a new card, and it's asking for a phone number to validate.

Anyone else get this? Asking for Turkish phone number.

Try the link in this post, or similar

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118800180/#Comment_118800180

But as mentioned in the post and the one above it, it could be while testing and maybe posible to do at another time.

reubenreuben · 14-04-2022 3:59pm

I've been trying to update my revolut card on the netflix site but keep being asked for a turkish mobile for confirmation text. How do you get around this?

SourSessions · 14-04-2022 4:04pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118927065#Comment_118927065

Del007 · 14-04-2022 4:12pm

I'm off to Turkey in a few weeks.

Should I open a new Netflix account from over there? Will I be able to add my revolut card from there?

wotzgoingon · 14-04-2022 8:14pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118927125#Comment_118927125

You will need to get a Turkish PAYG sim card and have a unlocked phone for the sim card to work.

Said I'd finally give this a go but same issue and I get "something went wrong" when I try reset my password too

mistress_gi · 15-04-2022 9:09am

Did you try login first in irish netflix then vpn then back to netflix and you should already be logged in

CarProblem · 15-04-2022 2:39pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118929735#Comment_118929735

Thanks - I hadn't

This worked to restart membership an apply a 100TLR voucher, however (with Turkish VPN on) it's asking me for a postcode

Will it work without VPN & my own post code or do I need to use a random Turkish one?

Thanks in advance
