OzReminder for those who may not be familiar with this hack. Thank you for the original post Ulysses31. Here are some steps to setup a Turkish or Argentinian Netflix account to save $$$. Results may vary so it's best to read up, there are plenty of comments below and members happy to help. Unfortunately, it may not work for everyone so please keep that in mind.

Netflix plans

Turkey Basic $4.66 Standard $7.07 Ultra $9.49/month (Mod 15/11/21: Prices in title updated to latest exchange rate, this will vary daily.)
Argentina Basic $4.02 Standard $6.61 Ultra $9.64/month (Note: Taxes will apply)

Step 1: Please understand that following all these steps may not work for you

There is no need for aggression in instances where you are unable to subscribe to an international Netflix account. Share your experience so everyone can chip in and help out. There are plenty of examples where hacks shared on this platform do not work for some people, but may work for others:
* Modem reset for faster internet,
* Cash back program purchase tracking,
* Price matching an unobtainable deal or price error,
* Targeted bargains, and
* Limited quantity items quickly or instant (bot) sellout.
Similarly we know there are cash back users who follow every single step for cash back (turn off ad blocker, have no items in cart, do not click other links, etc.) on their purchases and it does not work, its probably best to move on.There are many users who successfully use this hack and enjoy paying half the price of the Australian membership. Unfortunately there are also many users who have been unable to sign up to Netflix Turkey or Argentina. After all it is intended for people who reside in Turkey or Argentina. If it does not work, I am not affiliated with any of the entities listed below or linked to and cannot guarantee any outcome. I can only read comments on this platform and others to share them with you. Your patience is appreciated. Please do not take it personally.

Step 2: Obtain a Turkish or Argentinian VPN

Express VPN
PureVPN
Torguard
VyprVPN
Windscribe

Step 3: Confirm Turkish/Argentinian IP

IP Check

Step 4: Sign Up to Netflix

In a private-browsing tab open Netflix

Step 5: Enter Card Details

Possibly working: 28 Degrees, ANZ Rewards, Citibank Debit, Macquarie
Mixed reports: CBA, ING

FAQs

Q My bank blocked my payment, what do I do?
A Some banks block 1st attempt and then text to confirm it's you. Once you reply, 2nd attempt may work.

Q Where can I purchase a Turkish Netflix gift card?
A Others have had success purchasing Turkish Netflix gift cards (for a premium) or using Transfer Wise.

Q I have an existing Netflix subscription, can I use the same email?
A You can try! Visit Netflix website and cancel your subscription ASAP. It will expire at the end of the billing period. Then follow Step 1-5.

Q I thought it would cost $4.66 but I was billed for $5.00.
A Please note that changes in the foreign exchange rate will impact the subscription fee. Happy to update.

Q How do I enter an international mobile number?
A Ignore any requests for a mobile, open Netflix in a new tab and confirm account is working. If you must, there are a couple of resources for codes being sent to an international mobile number. Please note that these services may not work since others may have used the numbers for verification codes from Netflix SMS Codes PVA Codes SMS-Activate SMS Approval.

Q Do I need to use a VPN every time I access Netflix?
A No, VPN is only required for sign up. After sign up, use Netflix without a VPN and you will have access to the Australian Netflix library.

      • Look up any hotel / address ;)

      • No bogus address needed, just turn off the VPN once signed up. Worked for me with 1 month free as well

    • Hi, Which bank card did you use? None of my card work when trying to pay in TL currency

  • +5

    The gift cards can be directly purchased from this Turkish e-commerce website called trendyol.

    You can purchase the gift cards without paying any premium (other than any international transaction fees your bank charges):

    75 Turkish Lira Netflix Gift Card
    100 Turkish Lira Netflix Gift Card

    Website is in turkish but can be translated easily through Google Transalate in Chrome.

    Also for people facing errors in adding their credit/debit cards on Netflix, just go and start live chat in the Netflix Help Website and request for the Payment Update Form through the chat window. All my cards which were showing errors earlier were easily added through that form. The cards I added through the payment form and which worked are:

    • Macquarie Debit
    • NAB Credit
    • NAB Debit
    • HSBC Debit

    The only issue is if you update your card through that form, it removes any existing payment methods (except Gift Cards) from your account.

    • No deal on payment form from 2 chats.

      Does your account need to be live to be sent the form?

      • I am pretty sure you need to have a working account for them to update the card. I don't know if you can change payment card for an elapsed account if that's what you are asking. I had my account running so I faced no issues.

    • They hiked the prices :(

      • I remember the seller being PAYBOX and not this PindepaGO. Maybe Paybox stopped selling Netflix gift cards cause I can see they still sell other stuff like Steam gift cards.

    • It seems like trendyol has gotten stricter about their accounts. My account of 10 months was blocked today due to 'suspicious activity' when I used my normal bank card which I have used before. It seems like this is a dead end. Sorry for the false hope people 😔

      • I think they started doing that recently. I was buying my gvs and suddenly I got an email stating the same. After that saw the hiked prices.

    • This is a form directly on the live chat? I asked for one and they sent me an email with a Link (which didn't work).

    • +1

      thanks for the info @hangryfordeals. Got a 100TL giftcard through your link. Had to get a random turkish address and number to sign up, but received the card codes within an hour.
      Payed with my Aussie credit card, and charged a small int trans fee.
      Logged into Netflix Turkey via my Surfshark VPN, and reactivated my account (after deactivating it a day earlier) and used the gift card as payment - as apposed to updating my old Oz credit card details.

      Turned off my VPN, opened up Netflix again and working great! Shows my balance in TL with account due mid December.
      Will attempt to update my c card details when my giftcard credit runs out.

      Thanks again

      • +2

        Cheers. You can add your card anytime before the gift card runs out. The addition of a credit/debit card won't affect the gift card balance. If there was a card in your Netflix account already then Netflix should automatically charge your saved card in the Turkish prices.

        Glad it worked out for you.

        • Got this going via your link for the card - they stuffed me round yesterday but tried again today and went straight through - thanks

      • +1

        @jazzman1974 - got it done via trendyol as well in exactly the same way and it works. I hope I can top up with gift cards higher than 100TR in Dec

  • Does anyone know if this trick work with music streaming services?

    • +2

      works for my argentinian youtube premium

      • Seems like Ph for Spotify
        Argentina for Tidal

        • Does this trick work with Spotify? I thought you need the payment from the actual area.

          • @Digitalco: Not sure I don't use spotify, but noticed that PH seems to be the cheapest

  • That's interesting, got an email from Google pia VPN cancelled

  • hi all guys i am having problems with Netfix via Revolut. In practice, I access Netflix Turkey via VPN (winderscrabe, Hola VPN) in the payment method I enter Revolut Visa but Netflix does not accept payment. Another guy told me that Revolut works on Netflix but you have to go through the procedure to get the card accepted, can someone help me? Also this guy told me that a few months ago you had to change the label of the Revolut card to add emojis so Netflix accepted them. Now he says that to get the Revolut card accepted you have to change Netflix links, I don't know if that's the truth but the guy sent me netflix screenshots with Visa card inside. Anyone know anything about it? Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you

    • +2

      Try to buy a turkish gift card before to activate your turkish account. Once your account is up and running, Netflix help live chat, ask for Payment Update Form, put your card details in (any card should work) and voila!

      • thanks for the reply, is the payment update form personal or does it fit on any account?

        • +2

          The payment update form is provided within the chat window. They'll ask for the account name and email and they'll remove all the saved cards in your account when tthey add the new card.

          • +1

            @hangryfordeals: Hi Hangry, I assume we switch back to Aus Netflix help and ask for the payment update form?

            • @mikkim4eva: I would also like to know if it was in Aus Netflix help? I tried while connected to Turkey through vpn and didn't work

      • I requested a payment update form on chat. They sent me an email with a link to add credit card. Popped in Cr details but still getting the same error (28degrees).
        Is this the right method to update payment?

        • +1

          No no no, They do that and bring you to the original page. Ask them to provide you the Payment Update Form in that chat. Just say that it doesn't work using that method and you want the payment update form in that chat.

          • @hangryfordeals: I will keep trying. These ppl keep sending me to that page. Thank you.

            • +2

              @mrtin: I just added my card to my account. They will try hard to send you the link. You can just say "I can't open the link", "What's the error?" "Bad Gateway (502)"
              They will try few links and eventually they will let you to add the card from chat. Happy days!

              • @Lol321: Awesome man thank you
                Will try

                • @mrtin: They sent me the update form and I tried 2 different cards but they told me the card has exceeded the limit for both (which is not true) :(

              • @Lol321: thank you.
                went on chat today. Said i had trouble adding a credit card and asked for an online form. Dude gave it to me without hesitation unlike the last few times. Card now added. cheers

      • thanks to your advice I was able to insert revolut card into netflix after giftcart. Now I have a question, can I start my Turkish netflix subscription by directly inserting my card without using giftcard? some have succeeded but I don't understand how. can you help me?

  • what are the best sites to buy netflix gift cards?

    • +2

      G2A (it's a marketplace). No need to send ID or verify mobile.

  • the premium subscription has the price of 55 TL but the gift card is 100TL, do I not cover the total two months? how it works in this case

    • +1

      I have just added 100TL credit to my account last night (22 Oct) premium as well.
      My account shows I have credit of 45.01 TL and paid till 16 Dec.
      I'm assuming the credit added will pay for the 1st month, then maybe on a day pro rata basis till the credit is used up

      Will change my credit card details before mid Dec when my credit runs out

  • Second time in two months I’ve stuffed up the process and copped the aud price sigh.

    This time was rejecting my 28degrees so tried to re-add the cvc then it asked me for a Turkish mobile number so followed another ozbargain comment and turned off vpn, and then this time didn’t prompt and just deactivated.

    Going to go gift card route next time and give up if still no love _

  • Ah… I just got an email that Argentina is changing their monthly prices on all their plans so my basic plan is going from ARS 279 (pre-tax) to ARS379 (pre-tax) as of November 24, 2021.

    Did anyone else get similiar emails for Turkey? Not sure if I should make an effort and move my VPN to Turkey now as it may be possibly $2 cheaper I would imagine per month.

    Thoughts?

    • No emails for Turkey as of yet

      • Changed over not long ago and confirm a charge of 55 TRY (A$7.99) using citi debit (existing card on file).

        • @G-rig, was this also on the basic plan? I think I'm getting charged about $6.83 AUD at the moment using my westpac credit card whilst on current ARS basic plan, guessing I'll be paying possibly $8-9 after the price hike though…

          • @fuudrizzle: Ultra HD plan.

            If ppl can't get turkey working I'd suggest Brazil over Argentina, not much more than turkey and easier

    • Yep. Got an email from Netflix Argentina for a 40% price hike for ultra plan. Last time I tried to switch to Netflix Turkey, I couldn't, then it stuffed my account up. Not sure if it's worth it to try again…

      • That sucks! yea… I'm also worried about the swap over as I'm reading about so many bad stories from the comment section here.

        • I might try creating a new Netflix account and try signing up to Turkey with that first

  • Stuck at Turkey mobile verification. Can someone help me with Turkey mobile phone number for verification? Tried 5sim.net but wouldn't take my aus credit card. Any other suggestions?

  • Here’s what I have done so far, still waiting for success

    1. signed up using PIA vpn in Turkey,
    2. used my wise account to pay,
    3. got to the phone verification screen, which I ignored and signed into new tab
    4. Looks like my account is created, but I get a message asking me to finish signing up. When I click, it takes me back to the payment page.
      Now, I am unable to use the same wise details that worked for the first time - get an error saying incorrect payment details.
    5. Searched up some comments and bought a gift card from trendyol, but now my order says estimated shipping 30 Oct. i sincerely hope
      I can get the gift card sooner.

    Can’t wait to continue what I was watching on cinemahd. Dammn

    • So - my gift card order got canceled. Now looking for other ways to pay. Will keep this thread posted on how I go.

  • Looks like another price hike.

      Make a new Turkey account for best value

  • The Turkish price for ultra 4K plan is 54.99 TL -> 7.62 AUD, not 9.49 shown in the title.
    Any tax above it?

    • +3

      No tax for Turkey - it's likely currency fluctuations. i think I paid 8.50 last month

    This site is cheaper than mtc and g2a for gift cards:

  • Netflix turkey is now showing "your account cant be used in this location."

    Anyone got this error?
    I can still make it work if using vpn

  • Anyone have success with Pakistan? Is it easier then Turkey?

    • Considering the pakistan price is more than double that of Turkey's, It's probably not worth trying. Brazil would be cheaper and may be easier to get a bank card working but I haven't tried. Turkey is not hard to do if you're happy to keep using gift cards and it is still cheaper purchasing gift cards for Turkey than to use your bank card with Brazil.

  • anyone stuck on the turkey phone number? found anything that works?

    • +1

      Best is activate Australian first. verify the number. Let it expire. Use VPN. reactivate with Turkey giftcard. Never got asked for the turkey number.

      • Will your existing card continue to be charged using Turkish Lira once the gift card balance expires, that is the question…

  • Anyone successful in switching an existing Netflix account paying in Argentinian currency to Turkish currency?

    • +1

      Nah I tried everything suggested in this thread. Going to attempt the gift card method using a fresh account.

    • no but brazil - turkey worked fine after letting account lapse, and using the payment card on file.

  • Added PureVPN extension to MS Edge, logged into PureVPN and selected Turkey, done IP check and it says I'm in Istanbul.

    When I try to go to netflix.com.tr it says can't reach this page and err_tunnel_connection_failed.
    When I try netflix.com it says the requested URL cannot be retrieved.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    • Q - do you go to netflix.com or netflix.com/tr?
      Q - do you click on Sign In on the top right corner or type in your email address and click on "Get Started"?

      edit: when click on Sign In and type in the email and password it says the password is incorrect which I know is not.

    • the purevpn extension does not work for Turkey. You need to use the desktop version of PureVPN

      • Thanks, I'll give it a try tonight.

  • The PureVPN desktop app did not work either.

    But thanks to instructions from Tuttle and mnenonic on page 2, I used Urban VPN on an iPad and now Netflix is back on via Turkey. Have to wait and see if my 28 degrees card will be charge after the gift card credit ends.

    • use Windscribe chrome extension

      • thanks, I ended up downloading the Urban VPN app on an iPad and that worked perfectly.

  • +2

    As the Turkish lira keeps biting the dust, this will be even cheaper.
    There months ago I started with AUD 9 for ULTRA plan and last month I got charged just AUD 7.75 only. And now, as per the current exchange rate, the ULTRA plan will be around AUD 5.90.

    • Is there a way to pay yearly membership at the moment given it’s so cheap

  • Do you still have to confirm with a Turkish SMS if you pay with Turkish Gift cards?

    Still trying to score the Turkish Delight.

  • +1

    https://www.turgame.com/netflix-gift-card-100-tl-tr/ - this lot suggested by djtranny above allowed me to create an account and add to cart without any sms just email address - still sitting in my cart waiting for payment

    • Did it work?

  • Got there in the end. After a lot of trial and a lot of error. Ended up using g2a to get a gc. 28 degrees already pre added. Hopefully smooth sailing now

  • +3

    Thanks OP worked flawlessly. Steps I took were;

    1) Let Netflix account lapse.
    2) Installed Windscribe VPN to browser (Chrome) and changed country to Turkey (Free)
    3) Opened Netflix and it prompted me to renew subscription, so followed the steps for that and it renewed with my CBA Debit card for $6.35 for the Ultra 4K plan.
    4) Logged out, turned off VPN and we are cooking with gas now.

    Stoked!

    • +1

      Thanks, did this and worked

  • great

  • Thanks OP, got mine setup too. I got it setup on a brand new account, and subscribed using my Crypto.com card to get 100% cashback.
    - Used Premium PIA VPN to connect to Turkey
    - Used pvacodes.com for Turkey phone verification - $1 USD cost

  • OK I unlocked Turkey 🦃 with a giftcard but I can't update my payment details as it doesn't like my VISA debit card.

    It is showing under my account that I have a backup payment as PayPal - can I just leave the gift card balance to expire and it will default to PP?

    Or is this when I should ask for the payment update form? What wording do I use do I have to pretend to be Turkish!?

    • When my GC ran out it defaulted to my VISA card

      • It won't let me add the VISA card though as a valid payment method.

        • hmmm. weird because it let me put a payment method when redeeming my GC and renewing the subscription

          edit: wait no, you had to have the payment method there before renewing the sub

          • @I Smell Pennies: I had an existing VISA as my payment method but when I switched to Turkey it wasn't accepted and was removed from the account. So I put in the giftcard code and have Netflix till 22 Jan but it says my alt payment method is now PayPal so maybe that's a good thing.

            I tried to add my VISA again but it didn't like it. It seems to be fussy with certain cards.

            • @beebul: that’s weird aye. I’m currently using suncorp visa debit on the account. currently charging $6.94/mth for premium

              • +1

                @I Smell Pennies: Thanks Pennies. I might just see what happens when my gift card balance expires, ideally I would like it to fall back to PayPal.

  • A couple of things about my fun with this yesterday.

    Firstly, when I tried login to Turkey Netflix via VPN, my password failed from account setup in Oz. I then reset my password but again failed, tried again and worked. There was nothing wrong with my original password but for some reason it fails first time, second time it logs in fine. A problem with VPN or browser, I have no idea.

    Second thing is I ordered a gift card from https://www.mtcgame.com/
    12hrs later and after clicking the order refresh a million times I got onto chat. Said they had none in stock and try tomorrow or get a refund (7 days). I get on to chat again an hour later and the next person said I must verify my mobile number and will get it in 30mins. I did this but immediately thinking a scam and started researching this site and there are many negative posts.

    Waited the 30mins and nothing. An hour later got onto chat again and requested a refund but received the gift card soon after and as people mentioned above, a photo of the gift card printout. Immediately tried it many times (used google translate to find the code) and it failed and failed….

    At this stage gave up thinking I've been scammed but this morning I tried and it worked.
    Again, a mystery why.

    …but I'm on :)

    • I have received the voucher code (a photo of printout) but when I applied it against my newly created account, it says "Sorry, we are unable to process your request." Could you please clarify what you did to make it work? Did you just wait for 24 hours before retrying to enter the code again?

      • I'm just going to answer my own questions. So I was using Urban VPN to switch to Turkey and I could setup the account and confirmed it's pointing to Turkey website. However, when I tried to apply the GC balance to the account, I got the error message "Sorry, we are unable to process your request". I looked it up online and lots of people had the same issue but managed to resolve it by changing the VPN provider.

        I switched to Windscribe and continued setting up my subscription and managed to apply the GC balance in a second. However, I got stuck again after applying the 3rd or 4th GC and got the same error message "Sorry, we are unable to process your request."

        This time I turned off my VPN completely and just used my normal internet provider. I also logged out and in of my Netflix account again to refresh the data and continued to apply the GC balance and it worked! I managed to apply 3-4 more GC and now the account is fully paid for 13 months. Total cost is $ 89.50 for 13 months with GC bought from MTC Game.

    I have already got Netflix Turkey and needed to update payment method to a different card. Nord VPN with chrome desktop rejected all my cards (Revoult, Macquarie, Anz, 86400). Thanks to fellow ozbargainers experience, I tried the below and it worked flawlessly. I now got 2 backup cards (Revoult and Macquarie) added successfully. Hope some one finds it useful.

    1. From my mobile, activarted getfilx VPN for Turkey
    2. connected to netflix.com using duckduckgo browser
    3. Added additional cards without a glitch and got confirmation emails
