Hi all, a lot of people in the netflix turkey thread is saying their membership has been cancelled but did not specific the payment type.

I am trying to determine what the criteria of membership cancellation is, please vote only if you are on Netflix Turkey

Error if your membership is cancelled

Sorry this account is no longer active. Please sign up again or sign in to a different account.”

EDIT: Official "story" provided by netflix:

As per checking To protect members against unauthorized charges, we sometimes cancel accounts that show signs of unusual activity. It looks like your account was canceled for this reason.

They will even recommend you dispute charge via your card company to get a refund as they did not provide you with the service you paid for. So everyone go and get your money back and then buy Turkey Gift Cards ahaha Personally I recommend turgame 200TL gift cards if you order after 5pm they will arrive pretty fast.

    Don't reward these bastards by re-subscribing, they need to take a subscriber hit for this, that's the only way they'll learn. $10 a month or $0.. they chose $0.

    Lost mine, finally gave me the kick in the pants that I needed to execute on the Stremio + Real Debrid solution. Sucks for the family that were sharing the account, but so far the Stremio solution seems to be even easier and cheaper, and better picture quality than the Netflix solution, so I'm happy.

    Nice try Netflix, but I think you're gonna feel this one, based on the comments here and in other overseas forums like RedFlagDeals.

    • Guybrush57 on 25/02/2024 - 02:19

      What other subs have been affected?

  • dreamt on 25/02/2024 - 02:24
    +1

    I must have been one of the lucky ones. I was still being charged off an expired AMEX (card expired in October last year, and I hadn't needed to update it). The last payment was taken early in the month so I only missed out on less than a week of my subscription. I'd dropped back to the Basic subscription anyway and the fee had gone up so wasn't that much of a saving from the Netflix AU with ads. Was also thinking of cancelling anyway so this just made the decision for me.

    • reactor-au on 25/02/2024 - 08:42

      The last time my card expired a year ago, it would not accept the new card, so I have up. Well to my surprise I accidently open the app on the TV about 10 days later it was suddenly working again with the new card.

      I must've been using turkeys since 2021, good value.

      • Dunks on 25/02/2024 - 09:30

        Can't share the account, different household. Turkish account I had no dramas sharing it.

      • CodeXD on 25/02/2024 - 10:34

        $22 + $7 +7 even divide by 3 is ~12 each a month for 3 people, 50c more than turkey.

        This logic is flawed and only works for people paying for 4 profiles, 4k premium and only using it for themselves.

        It is not 50c more than turkey because turkey for $12 you can get 4 profiles, no account lock, 4k premium for a month.

        By your logic for 3 people on turkey is less than $4 per person. Paying ~$12 each month per person is $8 more or paying 3x more.

        • G-rig on 25/02/2024 - 12:06

          It's fine and then comment was regarding single users that want 4k. Not everyone has a household with 4 streams going at once.

          But yes $12 is still too much for some people (buy $11.50 fine via Turk).

          Your logic is flawed because turkey isn't an option.

        I find that downloading 4k Atmos shows and movies are far superior quality. Streaming services are always reducing the quality.

            +4

            @G-rig: Its well understood that streaming resources suffer from exaggerated compression, which effects audio and even visualization quality.
            The Atmos/HDR/4K signal is sent to your devices, but they're not always the best they can be.
            For convenience its good, but since internet is fast these days and quality torrents are easy to find within a minute, I personally cannot justify paying anything more than a SD Netflix account since netflix are stopping accounts now.

            As for evidence, Louis Rossman is awesome for stuff like this. Definitely worth a watch.

            • G-rig on 25/02/2024 - 10:43

              @Aliensf: Yeah depends what quality you are used to and if you're happy with SD. Probably fine for free to air and general crap.

              Well aware of AV codecs and compression. People will also argue mp3s sound as good as CD as well.

              Anyway as you say internet is fast so can steam it easily. I'll have a look, I Doubt the would come out with streams that are half way between Dolby 5.1 and Atmos, it either is not isn't. I can usually tell the difference between 1080p and 4k (as well as the equipment confirming it) but appreciate some people can't, or don't care and/or don't want to pay for it. Nothing wrong with just saying that.

                They have.

                There is TrueHD+Atmos and there is EAC3+Atmos

                TrueHD is lossless, EAC3\DD+ is lossy.

                Can you name a streaming service that is TrueHD + Atmos?

                    @G-rig: Of course I can - particularly in my separate height and surround speakers, compression artefacts are obvious with lossy content.

                    Netflix is handy on a phone, or a dinky little tv and sound bar, but when it’s being thrown on a wall and around the room, much greater quality can be found.

                    • G-rig on 25/02/2024 - 20:47

                      @2025: Righto, good for you. What are height speakers?

                      I was actually all for 4k HDR and Atmos btw and this setup is more than good enough for TVs and movies (don't care for AV receivers and all that stuff for over 15y, but care more about music). Sounds like you take your movies very seriously if 4k ultra HD and Atmos isn't good enough.

                      There is no quality control on downloading from torrents and you'll just end up getting 1080p most of the time. Sounds like you should buy Blu-rays

        • elvislj on 25/02/2024 - 22:55

          Do you mean downloaded 4k atmos from "other" sources?

          I was doing that all the time on my home theatre setup and found the audio quality are poor compared to the streaming services. The rippers focus on video quality and the audio are heavily compressed.

          • G-rig on 26/02/2024 - 09:10

            @elvislj: Exactly, they don't care about audio streams, you'd be lucky to get 5.1. easiest just streaming on the top quality these days, it's come a long way.

    From Reddit
    https://www.reddit.com/r/NetflixViaVPN/comments/1ayj76q/netf…

    They hate when you get a subscription in a cheaper country and will cancel your account, yet they will outsource employment in countries where salary is 1% of the country compared to where Netflix is stationed.

    They list their HQ in a country with the lowest taxes and get their employees from countries with the lowest wages. When you live in Germany and have a Turkish account, getting a call service agent living in the Philipenes is pure hypocrisy.

    That's the irony.

        I think the reason gift cards still works is because they have no way to refund cancelled accounts, which can be an issue in legal side of things.

          Doubt it. They aren't refunding CC pro-rata either, instead asking people to initiate a chargeback

            @Lucille Bluth: Well, chargeback is better if it goes through, I got my full month worth of refund even though I started a fortnight ago. Which I found it hilarious, they prefer us to take all the money back instead of let us finish the current month and restart a subscription afterwards.

    what's the go if you have a sub in 1 country & then add an extra paid member to the account who would access in another country? Is this possible no VPN etc

      No, look at their site FAQ.

      Add an extra member
      Account owners on a Standard or Premium plan in many countries can share Netflix with someone who doesn't live with them by adding an extra member to their account.

      The account owner will need to purchase an extra member slot, then invite an extra member to use the extra member slot.

      The extra member must be activated in the same country where the account owner created their account.

      Extra members cannot be added to Netflix-included packages or third-party billed accounts.

      Extra members cannot be added to ad-supported plans.
