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Sorry this account is no longer active.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.

        When you buy something it’s in their account and it’s their money. So?

      • G-rig on 27/02/2024 - 17:01

        Agree, don't have an issue. Visa and MC are covered for fraud. Otherwise what's stopping you from paying someone for goods then reclaiming it.

        Back in South Africa you hvae 48h to reverse any transaction. Yiu don't need to give proof or anything

        Sounds like an amazing way to be scammed out of money then. You also type like one of those scammers emails I get with all those typos.

      Same for 2 chargebacks with Westpac. Still need to do my Turkish chargeback with ubank but they need to be called.

      Keep chargeback’ing ppl. If you’re not keen on the money just donate to a good cause, at least Netflix should not get it.

  • iBuzz7S on 26/02/2024 - 18:38

    Well, it was good while it lasted. Looks like I started in March 2022 and finally got found in March 2024, about $200 for two years of a mix between Standard and Premium.

    I would sign back up locally to the plan with ads, but not having access to the full library is the killer.

  • denserham on 26/02/2024 - 19:06

    Did anybody elses account get straight up deleted? I can't sign in or forget my password reset.

    • ahara on 27/02/2024 - 21:28

      Not deleted. Prob just need to sign back without VPN from Australia. Tried that?

    Your membership has already been cancelled.

    They cancelled just a day before my monthly renewal was due to kick in 😎

    All good things must come to an end, I guess… Sad times 😥

  • Moo Deng on 26/02/2024 - 20:15

    Is there a script/template that everyone is using when calling their bank? I'm sure I saw one in one of the threads but can't find it now.

    Spoke to "Darryl" - a manager - on the 1800 number today. (aside: Darryl sounded exactly like you'd imagine an Indian man would if he was raised on nothing but John Wayne films). No refund, but he did say a few interesting things that none of the chat reps copy/pasta mentioned:

    • the mass cancellation was an 'anomaly', affecting many thousands of accounts over Turkiye and Pakistan, and
    • he has been told that it should be resolved within days via either refund or reactivation. I doubt this very, very, very, very mu…very, very, very… you get the idea

    And then he wrapped up the call with stating that they have absolutely no capacity at their end to issue a refund.

    • ahara on 27/02/2024 - 21:29

      Hahaha, nothing is an anomaly with companies such as Netflix who care about profits more than customer service.

        Checking if you logged in on Smart TV? Someone commented that Netflix rep said they're cracking down on people who signed up in a cheaper country but use non portable device e.g. smart TV to watch in another country.

        • neohazard on 27/02/2024 - 09:32

          this could be the case for me as I recently got a new TV which comes with Google TV :(

  • Ge3ks on 26/02/2024 - 21:20

    For those recommending Stremio and Real-debrid… do you activate a VPN when using it? Reading online, it is considered pirating if you use Stremio to access torrents, and for that reason a VPN is recommended. Then it seems like a pitch to sell a particular VPN. So, what do you guys do or use? Cheers.

    • Benicio on 26/02/2024 - 21:35

      RealDebrid does the vpn stuff itself if you add on that (paid) service. $25 for 6 months i think.

      • Ge3ks on 26/02/2024 - 22:04

        Have to give a shout out to Netflix for getting us all motivated to set this up so we can save money, get access to unlimited content and avoid the annoyance of juggling so many subscriptions.

      • djz on 27/02/2024 - 10:11
        +2

        I never understood this though. RealDebrid specifically says that they keep logs of files you accessed for 30 days so what's the point of the VPN on their end when if they are served a warrant they legally have to provide the details of all the people that accessed that file and given that they are paid accounts it will be trivial and easy to track down all the users

    • Dingus on 27/02/2024 - 08:31

      If you use the RD+ links when choosing a link the data is encrypted which means you don't need a VPN. I set it up last night and it is working great.

    • sween64 on 27/02/2024 - 18:10

      ISPs in Australia are only looking at what IPs you’re connected to and by extension which websites your visiting. That’s why torrenting websites are blocked.

      When you access Real Debrid ISPs don’t know what you’re streaming/downloading. I don’t connect to a VPN before using Stremio or accessing Real Debrid.

  • Iwantthatbargain on 27/02/2024 - 07:22

    Netflix Revenue in Q4 grew 12% year over year, to $8.83 billion, higher than Netflix’s previous forecast due to favorable foreign exchange rates and “stronger than anticipated membership growth,” the company said.

    So what if you use the existing "Turkey'ed" Netflix account and subscribe to say an Indian Netflix with proper Indian issued credit card or for whatever country's sub with the appropriate country's issued credit card, but stream at outside of the subbed country location, will they penalized you by deactivating your account this time around?

  • czechboi on 27/02/2024 - 11:15

    Netflix just processed my refund for the current month. I was in the process of working with Wise to start the dispute process but seems this has been done automatically

    • G-rig on 27/02/2024 - 11:18

      yeah just wait- i read on here they'd refund or reactivate automatically. Not much loss, $10 for 10 days use here.

      @skeeo Works pretty well on Google CCwGTV
      no doubt the rips are focused on video not audio quality but most should be basic 5.1 hopefully (i haven't gon to the source to see if there's a nfo file etc)..Good enough for a cheaper option anyway I think.

      Heres hoping, I just did a chargeback with Macquarie but they wanted me to send them netflix's T&C's I said you can ask netflix what they are.

    In case anyone here is looking to get into Stremio, check out this guide from Reddit

    • G-rig on 27/02/2024 - 12:34

      Pretty good, come a way from looking for and d/l them and playing manually.

      Still clunky with buffering and depending on the source file. Subtitle seem to cause a very slight hesitation. Good enough in general though once you get going but hardly better quality than Netflix. You may need over 100Mbps plan for true HD and Atmos (I'm using google TV). Nice there are some latest releases that you'd normally have to pay to watch as well.

      • sween64 on 27/02/2024 - 18:12

        Real Debrid and RD+ cached links and you shouldn’t have any buffering issues.

        • G-rig on 27/02/2024 - 19:03

          It's all g, just made the settings changes below and much better. Great for what it is, more integrated than I was expecting.

    • theguyrules on 27/02/2024 - 12:40

      Only catch is no app for Apple TVs. You can plug it into Infuse but you still need another device to "download" the media.

    • G-rig on 27/02/2024 - 13:41

      Any idea on Google TV tweaks?
      Little bit of stuttering on one I'm watching, it has various audio streams can choose from. The trueHD+Atmos version no sound. Will have to look into it but not bad.

      Wondering if there's a way to download/cache stuff to watch later on instead of on the fly with streamio.

      • SuperC on 27/02/2024 - 13:46

          Too easy. Good to set it up and test it out.

          Go to Stremio
          settings>Playback> Frame rate matching and select Disabled,

          settings > server > torrent profile and set it up to Ultra-fast

        Yeah the different platforms have slightly different settings I couldn't find that either.

    Just reactivated my account with a gift card from Turgame. Definitely geolocked but PIA vpn is getting around it on Desktop, iPhone and Google TV.

    Hopefully in 30 days ill be free to go back VPN-free (if I'm not banned by then)

    I would love to just ditch Netflix completely but the family love it, I've got 4 other households all streaming separately from this account so the value is still decent.

    • G-rig on 27/02/2024 - 14:12

      Do they have to bring their devices around to your network every 30 days? That won't last for long either, but maybe some people getting away with it.

        They got all the info including Country of registration, country of signup, membership status (former member), has rejoined etc.
        Be easy to get people.

Didn't login to any smart TVs, only my laptop and Android phone. All fine I thought, didn't watch anything until just now on my mobile phone for about 30 mins. Account immediately cancelled after an hour or so when I wanted to continue watching.

      Is there another method? I've been following India and Nigeria threads too and those have also been cancelled.

  • matt1234 on 28/02/2024 - 11:16

    Mine was cancelled and i was using an AU Amex card. Have been using Turkish account for years now. About a year ago when my card expired and i had to change it i was asked for Turkish SMS verification, which i did via PingMe - but they no longer offer Turkish numbers. This also shows that they are cancelling SMS verified accounts as well, so don't rely on that.
    I tried the usual stuff via live chat like asking for a SecureForm payment, but no dice they refused to bypass the SMS verification.
    I ended up purchasing a Turkish Netflix giftcard from G2A (make sure your VPN is disconnected when buying as G2A will ban accounts if it detects VPN) and that worked to reactivate the account - i didn't get any region locking and was able to access netflix without my VPN being connected.
    I did encounter issues activating the giftcards whilst connected to my VPN though - my usual Turkish VPN was in Bursa and it just refused to recognise the giftcard code - i then changed to Ismir and the giftcard worked right away, so if you have issues activating try a different Turskish VPN location/server.

        I watch in 4k, and no buffering. It might be your internet because Netflix automatically updates quality based on your internet connection. Streamio/RD+ can't do that.

            @BellaWii: Speed doesn't matter, it just takes longer to download. I use 25/10 as not rushed to D/L for watching later. Live streaming the likes of Netflix, Kayo etc was also fine on 25/10 so Live Stream should also be more than fine with a 100/20 connection.

            @BellaWii: That's more than enough if you actually get that. Often internet is slower in peak times. Yes, you can download it, but you can't use Stremio for that. You would have to download it directly from RD.
