Greetings everyone, I was trying to figure out a cheaper way to get Netflix easily (rather than use iTunes billing and other avenues) and I found this thread over at MyDealz, I thought it was worthwhile to share it.

You can get Netflix for significantly cheaper by signing up / renewing via a quick VPN trick. I only just updated my plan 30 minutes ago, and signed up for the Ultra plan (UHD, 4 Devices) via Argentina and got charged 229 Argentinian Pesos which equated to be $8.99 for the month via my no fee card.

This works out to be approximately 50% of the pricing of Australian Netflix (Basic $9.99, Standard $13.99, Ultra $17.99).

Neil also completed a great write up a few years ago about this, check that out for further reference to assist with getting the deal.

Some examples of the pricing can be found here (I have highlighted the cheapest for each package in bold:)

Turkey:

  • Basic: 15.99 TRY (Equates currently to ~$4.06 AUD Per Month)
  • Standard: 27.99 TRY (Equates currently to ~$7.11 AUD Per Month)
  • Ultra: 39.99 TRY (Equates currently to ~$10.16 AUD Per Month)

Argentina:

  • Basic: 129 ARS (Equates currently to ~$4.97 AUD Per Month) Now 149 ARS
  • Standard: 169 ARS (Equates currently to ~$6.51 AUD Per Month) Now 219 ARS
  • Ultra: 229 ARS (Equates currently to ~$8.82 AUD Per Month) Now 299 ARS

Argentina has now been updated to a new pricing structure. Turkey is now the cheapest.

Hits has kindly made a spreadsheet with the current pricing in AUD from the cheapest countries.

If you have access to a VPN, it is an extremely easy process:

For New Subscribers:

  1. Connect to a VPN that has the cheapest pricing for the package you require per the spreadsheet above.
  2. Go to Netflix and enter your details to sign up to a new account.
  3. Go through and select the package that you would like, make sure the prices are in the desired currency per the VPN.
  4. Continue through and sign-up, your billing will now be in the currency per the VPN.
  5. Turn off the VPN and your account will be Australian, but will bill in the cheaper currency.

For Existing Subscribers:

  1. Go to Your Account and Cancel your subscription. It will expire at the end of the billing period.
  2. When the billing expires, Connect to a VPN of your choice, login and click reactivate your subscription.
  3. Go through and select the package that you would like, make sure the prices are in the desired currency per the VPN.
  4. Continue through and complete the reactivation, your billing will now be in the currency per the VPN.
  5. Turn off the VPN and your account will be Australian, but will bill in the cheaper currency.

Your account will only have titles from a different country if you are connected via VPN. With this method, It will charge in the foreign currency, but your account will have Australia titles :)

It is worthwhile to continue to check which country is the cheapest each month to get the best price :)

There's heaps of VPN deals around if you don't have access to a VPN yet, I used Windscribe for reference and connected to Argentina with ease.

I really hope this helps people out, it's definitely helped me out :)

All credit must go to Luca Lutz @ MyDealz for the help.

As always, enjoy!

      Thanks! Good night mate

    • grrrr on 08/11/2018 - 23:57

      Ahh now I understand… CyberGhost 24 trial is via the app rather than via the webpage.

    • Ge3ks on 08/11/2018 - 23:57

      Great work, cheers.

    • nfr on 09/11/2018 - 01:09

      Haha wtf

  • Flanders on 09/11/2018 - 00:29

    If you want free netflix just sign up to 30 days free trial every 30 days .
    Using PayPal is fairly easy for this. You just go into PayPal settings immediately after signup, and revoke automatic payment permissions for netlfix (or any other trial service) then at end of ftee trial, it will attempt to bill you for another month etc, but PayPal won't allow it. Will get message saying trial over.
    Repeat, another 30 days free trial. Can have Stan, Netflix, Amazon Prime, GooglePlayMusic, etc , all free for that month (or usually 3 months for Play Music).
    Note, you must REMOVE CARD from paypal, then CLOSE that account You will get a message, sorry that you are leaving PayPal your welcome back any time.
    Sign up again with PayPal, same card, ALL YOUR REAL DETAILS, do not lie about name, date of birth, address etc when creating a PayPal bank account, as this would likely be criminal fraud
    Note. It might be frustrating as you maybe lose track of the stuff favourited in your list, from previous months netflix/stan etc. If this bothers you, I found the simplest option is to download netflix on mobile phone, then have old netflix logged into tv, then add everything to you new netflix account (logged in on phone) . If you only have about 20 items saved, this is fairly quick, if you have hundreds saves, night take a while. Similarly, if you want to move the save of which ep you are upto over to new trial subscription, just navigate in new account to episode you're upto then play into it (fast forward) a couple of minutes, then you have a marker for you to go back to :)

    • TheTaxMan on 09/11/2018 - 10:32

      This looks promising. If it's free then nothing to complain!

      • Flanders on 09/11/2018 - 20:19

        True, especially something like Stan, where I rarely even use it,and IMO definitely not worth $10month, but for free.. Might as well have it :)

        • ramona on 10/11/2018 - 22:29

          Would I have to create new email addresses aswell?

          • Flanders on 11/11/2018 - 22:31

            @ramona: Probably. I just create new everything each month. Netflix ain't the police or ATO etc. I don't like giving out any of my genuine details online tbh. No need to risk identity theft in such a way.
            Call yourself Mr Joe Bloe , make an email joebloe782 joebloe783 joebloe784 (it's easiest to have some sequence to your disposable email addresses, that way if you need them again, not hard to remember) .
            Make sure you use real details regarding name etc for PayPal as that is a bank account of sorts, shouldn't be making bank account in fake name for obvious reasons

  • Nick K on 09/11/2018 - 01:04

    Do you have to reconnect to VPN every month to do the billing or just once only and it’ll automatically charge at that foreign price forever?

    • MaximumEffort777 on 09/11/2018 - 01:05

    • CUA Visa Debit; or

      Now a list of of cards that worked please

    • LoungeLizard on 09/11/2018 - 08:09

      They'll probably introduce a location-based time restriction like Spotify did. I can't see Netflix not being aware of this workaround.

      • MilkDrinker on 09/11/2018 - 10:19

        To my knowledge Spotify retracted that restriction after publicity backlash. I may or may not be on a phillopino Spotify family plan right now.

    An update to this post from me earlier:

    Tried both Argentina and Turkey but no dice with any of the following cards:

    Macquarie Debit MasterCard;
CitiBank Debit MasterCard;
CUA Visa Debit; or
GEM Visa.

    Also used both SaferVPN and Getflix VPN's.

    Managed to get it work first time when using the iOS app for SaferVPN and my CitiBank card. I was using the Firefox browser on all the above attempts so it might be worth trying different browsers or devices to sign up.

    • Arsenal on 09/11/2018 - 11:02

      Interesting, so you're saying the issues people are having are down to the sign up method rather than the credit card?

      • Davidenco on 09/11/2018 - 11:11

        Tried with nordvpn and exressvpn CBA ANZ and ING cards with no luck.
        I find hard to believe is the method rather than the card

        I'm just stating what didn't and did work for me, not saying it will work for all. After issues last night I tried again on my iPhone this morning using a card that didn't work last night and it went through.

      • expatOz on 09/11/2018 - 13:33

          I tried to apply for a 28 degrees card. The form requires a landline number before you can proceed. I haven't had a landline for years. Neither has my workplace. I could add a fake one, but all the personal financial questions are too invasive for my liking. Think I will just pay for Netflix via discounted Aussie iTunes cards.

    Hi Guys

    Give you update on my experience, I have tried some countries that VPN could be connected with….turkey, us, HK, and estimated exchange rates and credit card transaction charges etc… once you input credit card details and all shown errors. I have used about 10 different credit cards and debit cards from variety of OZ banks…all did not work. There is only one conclusion, you must use the bank card that originated from that country to be able to go through the process. If you hold turkey bank card or HK bank card, you should be right. AD$18 per month for premium membership is not too bad, at moment only a very few counties membership is cheaper than us, once you add exchange rates, international converting fee, bank fee charges, you would be expecting even or higher than paying in Australia. Plus all the hassles.
    I could not get vpn connection to Argentina, if you could get through, that is another story. Because the money value gaping.
    Good Luck All

      There is only one conclusion, you must use the bank card that originated from that country to be able to go through the process.

      Well it's not the only conclusion as quite a few of us managed to sign up with AU cards. Seems like there's been some luck over the last few posts using the SaferVPN app on mobile devices.

      What personally worked for me was:

      • SaferVPN app on iPhone using Argentina;
      • Access netflix.com in Safari browser; &
      • Used CitiBank debit MasterCard.

      All previous attempts failed using my PC and various cards.

        More information on connection, seemed very one had good luck on VPN to Argentina and paid alright with all your bank cards.
        I stick to my situation and conclusion, as far as I tried, you have to use the credit card originated from that VPN country. At the end, I used HK VPN connection on www. Netflix.com/HK/. Memebership HKD 93 per month, tried all my OZ bank cards and credit cards without success. On last thought I had HSBC debit card with multi currency account, include HK dollar currency. I tried this OZ debit card and it went through without any hassle. Horay! This had approved what I said about card that you use to pay. Must be in the currency for that country. Now I am watching Blight on Netflix.

          Your situation doesn't prove anything about what you said. It only proves that cards that have local currency work. It does not prove that cards from other countries don't work.

          My Australian Qantas Bankwest debit MasterCard worked for Argentina. That proves that it CAN work.

          Your logic is flawed.

            @NoApostrophePlurals: As I said in my post earlier, I could not VPN to Argentina, so your case in Argentina is exception for me. You are trying to say I am wrong, but at least you have tried my path before your judgement. Different countries has different regulations on using foreign credit cards. Don’t concentrate on argument afterall we enjoy value added services. This should be only logic for all.
