Mod remove if incorrect but just want to bring attention back to this post since Netflix jacked their AU prices today. It's been almost a year since it was originally posted.

Basically use a VPN to subscribe to Netflix Turkey and get up to 65% off.

STEP 1: VPN Trial

PureVPN (bad reports)

Decent VPN Guide @Reddit

Open a new incognito/private-browsing tab in your browser. Might not be enough

Visit Netflix

STEP 4: Enter Card Details

      Content is IP specific, so you get "local content" wherever in the world you go no matter where you're "from".

      • dealsucker on 17/09/2020 - 10:30

        Awesome. Thanks guys.

  • stillsinking on 17/09/2020 - 09:35

    Pretty sure they've blocked all the nord vpn servers because it still shows me US pricing any time I connect to any of the Argentina or Turkish servers.

    • Sorry had the post open before the other comments about this were posted.

    Spent a few days playing with this and finally got it. Turkey I could never checkout. Other VPNs were virtual Argentina and billed in USD.

    This is for my existing plan that expired 2 days ago.

    I recommend:

    1. Wait until you plan expires completely + 1 day

    2. Use Windscribe build a plan US$2/mth, select Argentina and another

    3. I used UBank, charged me $8.21 for 4K

    • Nousernamehere on 17/09/2020 - 11:13

      No need to pay for Windscribe, just ask the bot for a free trail and they give you a 24 hour Pro trial (no details needed apart from making up a username).

          Haha I’ve seen people make the same comment before so don’t feel too bad. You’re still well ahead by changing over from AU pricing anyway 😉

    • burndoggy on 28/09/2020 - 10:36

      Thanks Clem….I was losing my mind over the whole USD thing…using WIndscribe solved that.

      I did as Porthos said and asked the robot for a trial…and that worked also.

      Ozbargain….you've done it again!

    Argentine peso must have fallen off a cliff, back in november 2018 i was paying ~$8.50 when it was only 229 peso for netflix premium and now its 449 peso and im still paying around the same. NordVPN would not work when i tried this back then, from memory i think i signed up to a trial with cyberghost vpn which would let me change my region to argentina.

    heres a link comparing worldwide netflix prices to AUD:

    • mangobango on 17/09/2020 - 10:02

      Yeah my money got taken out last week, $5.94 for standard which is insane.

      I think it started at around $8 when the aussie dollar was a bit weaker but it's gone down now.

  • hothot on 17/09/2020 - 10:05

    I have Netflix gift card applied to my account and my account is having credit balance.

    What will happen if I cancel my account? Will credit remains on the account and can be used for once I resign from Turkey or will lose my credit?

    • futureminime on 17/09/2020 - 10:09
      +2

      I would finish out the credit to be safe, this option has been here for a while. My understanding is the gift cards are currency specific, so wont be spent on the Turkish subscription (you seem to know that). No reason it should disappear but would be safer to use a new Netflix account or let the credit run out.

          Is it Netflix that is blocking the credit card or our credit card providers?

              @vivmahi: Hi mate, Thanks. So calling the bank beforehand can/could make a difference? For example, the credit card I used last time is the one issued by my Aussie bank.

              • vivmahi on 05/10/2020 - 00:01

                @Ice009: It's worth the effort.

                  @vivmahi: Thanks.

                  Do I have to tell them I am going to be in that country, or can I just say that I am going to be making a payment for something in that currency, please don't block it. Can I say something like that rather than telling them I'll be in that country?

      Use an international card I signed up months ago and it only worked with citibank. Tried ing, 86400, up, westpac etc and all were rejected. I signed up with argentina though.

    • shakir99 on 18/09/2020 - 20:35

      i either keep failing at the payment screen. I actually got through that once or twice, but then get the SMS OTP screen.

      How do you bypass that?

  • mickyd on 17/09/2020 - 15:38

    Can I cancel today and signup with same account tomorrow or I have to wait until end of billing?

    Got no issue creating a brand new account, just not sure if using same CC(NAB) would ring any bells…

    • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 17/09/2020 - 15:39

      You cancel ASAP but won’t be able to signup to the Argentina deal until your billing period has finished, you also don’t need to make a new account.

      • mickyd on 17/09/2020 - 15:42

        Billing ends 1/10.. would something like this last until then?

          +1

          I’m not to sure what you mean but you’d wait until the 1/10 and then on that day you’ll need to use a VPN and use the same login details on the Argentina site, then sign up on the Argentina website.

  • GLO on 17/09/2020 - 15:48

    • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 17/09/2020 - 15:49

      Make sure you’re typing in the right URL and your using the correct (Turkey) VPN.

    • Ziff on 17/09/2020 - 19:00

      I had this issue with Private Internet Access - The Turkish server seems to give a Romanian IP address. But Argentina works and gives you an Argentinian IP address.

      • GLO on 19/09/2020 - 21:19

        Yes, I’m using PIA.

        What was your workaround? Especially now that Argentina has added the 35% tax to it.

  • ozricoy on 17/09/2020 - 18:34

    I was able to create an account and used TURKISH ip via VPN express. The 4K plan says 13.99 Turkish currency which converts to like $3. However, when I checked on my card, i got charged $22.72. Far out.

    • Sharp on 17/09/2020 - 23:19

      Sounds like that’s not the Turkish site. Netflix Ultra in Turkey is 41.99 Lira, which is around $7.60.

        Disney+ is part of hotstar Sub in India.
        Does the same subscription works on Disney+ Australia? or do we need India VPN to watch Hotstar/Disney+ India?

        • DrKB108 on 19/09/2020 - 08:04

          Its a seperate App which is not available to download through the AU play store.

          If you have an Indian Mobile number, you can register for Hotstar Disney +, but the same login details via this app will be work/apply on the AU Disney + app.

          • SUD26 on 19/09/2020 - 13:53

              Hotstar Premium is the way to go if you have access to the Hotstar Disney + app.

              • ozultimate on 19/09/2020 - 17:59

                  @ozultimate: That's correct. The only way content will work without a VPN is if you download it while on VPN and then you consume it without a VPN.

      • alaric on 20/09/2020 - 23:33

        Thanks everyone. I was looking at this. The VPN is not the issue but the phone number. I'm wary of using a disposable number.

        I did managed to get to the Indonesian site but it wouldn't accept my Australian credit cards.

        Hopefully India accepts Aussie cards. Unfortunately, I can't register with e-mail anymore :( Those of you who register with Hotstar, do you have an Indian sim card or get a virtual number?

    Tip for people who are trying to register new account.
    1. Register New account/trial without VPN
    2. Cancel the Subscription/trial
    3. Let the Subscription run over.
    4. Connect with VPN and renew the subscription

    Note. Banks like CITIBANK will send SMS on the registered Mobile and transaction needs to be authorized via Mobile SMS when trying to renew the Netflix subscription

  • silverx on 18/09/2020 - 19:30

    alright giving this another go
    sign up new account, add mobile phone first to the account before choosing plan by going directly to netflix.com/account

    • Had the same issue others mentioned with Turkey VPN being seen as Romania or only as Euro dollars.
    • Managed to get through once to the 'enter your mobile number to confirm' stage then it failed.
    • Now all I get when trying to pay is an error message saying something went wrong and to try later.
