Netflix Price Increase

froogletom on 11/11/2021 - 13:38

Hello oz bargain just thought i would inform you most Netflix plans are increasing here is the information from news.com.au

Netflix will increase the price of its Australian subscriptions from today.

The American streaming service will jack up the fees on its standard and premium plans by up to $3 a month.

The price for the standard plan changes from $15.99 a month to $16.99 a month. Customers on the standard plan were already slugged with an increase in late 2020.

The price for the premium plan will go up from $19.99 to $22.99 a month. The premium plan was most recently increased two years earlier.

The basic plan remains at $10.99 a month.

Netflix’s changes will be rolled out from November 11 for new customers but it won’t apply to existing members for at least another week, kicking in at their next billing date after November 18. Netflix said it will give members 30 days notice by email and notification.

    Hmm.. what about in Turkey?

    • froogletom on 11/11/2021 - 13:48

      not sure was thinking the same

    • giu on 11/11/2021 - 15:09

      Turkey seems to have no change. Still the cheapest by far.

        How to subscribe the Turkey one when I have already signed up for AU one?

          1. Cancel your subscription.
          2. Let the expiry date lapse.
          3. Use Turkey VPN.
          4. Login to your Netflix.
          5. Renew with Turkey subscription.

            • polstralian on 14/11/2021 - 22:46

              @wjojff: You can use free vpn only to sign up. There's no need to use vpn once on a Turkish plan.

              • bulletbill88 on 14/11/2021 - 17:56

                @tobia: I've done it with the free windscribe plugin for Chrome. You just have to adjust the setting so it works in incongnito mode.

            @4agte: Hi 4agte, I tried what you said (steps 1-5) and when I tried to use the previous credit card which was still on my account, the following error came up, "There appears to be a problem with the payment method you are trying to use."

            I am using the 28 Degrees Latitude card. I called them and they say that they have no rejected transactions from their end.

            Any ideas anyone?

                  NOV 11, 2021 3:16PM EST

                  BUENOS AIRES, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Argentina consumer prices rose 3.5% in October, above analyst estimates, the official statistics agency said on Thursday, a blow for the Peronist government ahead of midterm elections on Sunday in which rampant inflation is a key concern for voters.

                  The South American country's rolling 12-month inflation was clocked at 52.1% in the month and 41.8% in the first 10 months of the year.

      Does anyone know how to get it going with the Turkey subscription using VPN?

      I was successful with Youtube Premium but Netflix and Spotify no luck.

        Have you tried following the below?

        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/608762

        From memory I wasn't able to sign up a new account using a VPN, it would prompt me for a local Turkish mobile number. So I signed up to an AU membership using a uBank card cancelled the membership and once the month expired I would re-start my membership via a VPN (using the card already saved on my account).

        • vasya on 12/11/2021 - 11:45

          Do you have to sign up with the same subscription level or you can start with the lowest and then switch to a more expensive after re-start?

      True. As more than half of OZB members live in Turkey, I would be interested to know when are the prices going up there.

    Looks like customers like myself that were still paying Netflix Basic via Apple subscription for $9.99 is now increased to $10.99 from 16/11/2021.

    Now there isn't really an incentive to keep this going via Apple subscription…

The pollies may get inflation plus, but the public service not so, and neither they should. Many are overpaid to start with for the little to no value they add.

        Indices Difference (source: Numbeo)
        * Consumer Prices in Zurich are 52.40% higher than in Sydney (without rent)
        * Consumer Prices Including Rent in Zurich are 38.34% higher than in Sydney
        * Rent Prices in Zurich are 15.80% higher than in Sydney
        * Restaurant Prices in Zurich are 77.71% higher than in Sydney
        * Groceries Prices in Zurich are 61.56% higher than in Sydney
        * Local Purchasing Power in Zurich is 26.77% higher than in Sydney

        Bottom line: Switzerland is simply an expensive place to live compared to Australia…if you have Aussie wages (which are, on average, approx 26% lower than Switzerland )

              @[Deactivated]: There are other towns (eg Jestetten and Lotstetten) that make it an 80km round trip, and you can shop GST/VAT free (normally 19%) through the German equivalent of the tourist refund scheme just by getting a form at the checkout, leaving the country and driving home again. A lot of people commute to work (by train) from there too to enjoy cheap housing.
