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 ARSUltra: 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:
- Connect to a VPN that has the cheapest pricing for the package you require per the spreadsheet above.
- Go to Netflix and enter your details to sign up to a new account.
- Go through and select the package that you would like, make sure the prices are in the desired currency per the VPN.
- Continue through and sign-up, your billing will now be in the currency per the VPN.
- Turn off the VPN and your account will be Australian, but will bill in the cheaper currency.
For Existing Subscribers:
- Go to Your Account and Cancel your subscription. It will expire at the end of the billing period.
- When the billing expires, Connect to a VPN of your choice, login and click reactivate your subscription.
- Go through and select the package that you would like, make sure the prices are in the desired currency per the VPN.
- Continue through and complete the reactivation, your billing will now be in the currency per the VPN.
- 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!
