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Sorry this account is no longer active.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.

        I'm aware of the crack down mate but do you seriously think that your devices are assigned the SAME IP address when you travel around the country? How many local accounts have been cancelled for password sharing?

        • illusion99 on 24/02/2024 - 17:53

          It’s about consistency. If Netflix detects the same 4 IP addresses keep logging in to the same account at the same time consistently - that would be a red flag it’s not just the account owner travelling around the country.

          • Pricebeat on 24/02/2024 - 20:05

            @illusion99: Just wondering, was that the same issue on Turkish accounts? Because I was sharing with few people and never had issues

              +2

              @Pricebeat: They hadn’t implemented it in Turkey yet. Mainly only the western richer countries. USA, Canada, Aus etc

            +1

            @illusion99: If you’re in the same household then the IP signing in will be the same (public) IP. They crack down on sharing for accounts that consistently login from different IPs.

        • ahara on 24/02/2024 - 20:12

          Soon there will be VPN servers available where users can share their Netflix streaming service.

          As long as all users connect via the same VPN server (IP), then Netflix will not block anything.

          Or ppl can host their own virtual server in cloud and run some cheap openVPN or wireguard as part of their setup.

          Not for the faint hearted but may contact my friends to set something up for them.

          Ppl just need to be more creative now :)

          • luminair on 24/02/2024 - 23:13

            @ahara: It's too risky, one guy forgot to turn on his VPN then account is gone.

            • ahara on 25/02/2024 - 18:16

              @luminair: Need to set it up on router level based on DNS domain resolution. If you trust the other ppl/friends, it’s all good.

              But agree, not for the faint hearted. Payment would also have to be via GC each month.

              A bit of trouble, yes, but ozbargainers have been arguing about 30 cent cones etc. Ppl have different expectations where to save money.

          • cute as duck on 25/02/2024 - 07:54

            @ahara: That's a lot of effort. just use Stremio and Real Debrid.

    • illusion99 on 24/02/2024 - 17:13

      Netflix are cracking down on password sharing using IP logins to determine if ppl are logging consistently outside their home. Gamble whether it will work for you or not

      • Ghost47 on 24/02/2024 - 22:04

        What if someone shares an account with their sibling, and their sibling often goes and stays at their partner's place and logs in there with their password? That seems totally unfair to get banned because of that. I guess watching on your device and casting to a TV would be the only way to not get flagged?

        • Gareth on 25/02/2024 - 13:51

          You were breaking their ToS with sharing your account. The rest is just detail.

          • Ghost47 on 25/02/2024 - 21:24

            @Gareth: Before the password sharing block was implemented? I've never had Netflix before, I'm asking because I actually don't know how it works.

        • CodeXD on 25/02/2024 - 14:04
          +1

          Does that someone and sibling have the same household address/IP? If they do then it doesn't matter as long as the sibling use netflix at the household IP address at least once every 30 days.

          • Ghost47 on 25/02/2024 - 21:25

            @CodeXD: Thanks, that was the answer I was after.

    BTW if you call the 1800 950 726 number, they can refund you for last month's charge. I just did that and they processed a pro rata refund for me.

    • wangasm on 24/02/2024 - 17:40

      This did not work for me, they gave me the same response as the online chat did about contacting the bank.

      • jimbo jones on 24/02/2024 - 19:42

        Netflix are going to get their merchant account blocked or hampered at this rate…

        Hundreds or thousands of chargebacks put them into the high fraud bucket. Maybe their merchant facilities can absorb the overhead, or it's built into their pricing. It's a PITA for the banks to go through the chargeback process (without automation). Some bank systems are going to block payments to netflix…

        You are going to run into edge cases where you complain to both, Bank refunds (and threatens to charge you for mistaken charge backs), netflix refunds, you come out ahead (happened to me when my card was skimmed, hotel refunded, plus bank refunded)…

    • cute as duck on 25/02/2024 - 07:56

      Nah to pro rata. I'm going the full month's refund. Plus that's what they told me to do in chat

  • kaboom mel on 24/02/2024 - 17:25

    Only had one account, Turkish with CC, not using VPN - cancelled. Tried live chat, wouldn't give refund, so doing a dispute. If you really want a refund without the fuss, ring up the 1800 number.

  • mt2000 on 24/02/2024 - 17:46

    Like all of you guys my Turkey kick me out today as well. I rang the 1800 number, the rep said they have refund me the money which I paid on the 20th Feb.

    Oh well fun while we had it. I will not pay full price since we cannot share password.

  • danzig440 on 24/02/2024 - 18:44

    I had originally set it up through credit card which would get declined so went to the gift card route which had worked for maybe 6 months? Then I had noticed the last few months the credit card method had randomly started working and I didn't have to renew with gift cards but it looks like its all over today.

  • RaijnAU on 24/02/2024 - 18:51

    I am also in the same boat. I spoke to a Netflix Supervisor and asked why they didn't email about this they said;

    "That's for security purposes as well, our system are only allowed to sent out email notification on the email address link on the account and our system dont have the capability to know if the owner of the email address link on the account is really the owner of the account, so instead of sending it out to the email address link on the account that is the link to the account owner, we just wait for the account owner to contact us and discuss this."

    I asked what I should say to my bank;

    "All you have to do is to tell your bank that your account was cancelled because of detected suspicious activity and file a claim for refund, you may also tell them that you have reached us out and you were told to contact them."

    And why did this happen;

    "To be honest you, I dont have the context what could be the reason why this happened, but when our system detect any suspicious activity, to protect and for security of our subscribers, our system cancel the account automatically to stop those suspicious activity that may further harm our subscribers."

      Banks look at consistent chargebacks over time before deciding to penalize merchants. A one off increase in the number of chargebacks won’t mean anything.

  • dontpanic on 24/02/2024 - 19:16

    Can't be arsed setting up a GC and jumping through hoops. Not enough decent content on Netflix anymore to justify keeping it. Might dip back in for a on month binge if they bank up enough decent new content, but in all likelihood I'm going back to the high seas. Too many subscriptions these days and too many subscription hikes. I'm out.

  • Today53 on 24/02/2024 - 19:23

    Interesting to see that the cheapest Australian plan is the $6.99 one with ad, which is slightly cheaper than the Turkey one I was paying for. Tempted to re-start with that, but ad will ruin the experience.
    Wonder if this is a global crackdown too.

      I doubt it as this round cancellation was based on non portable device IP not the same as sign up country (“unusual activity “)
      It might work for short time but will get cancelled eventually.

          What he saying is phones can use VPN but even if they don't looks like they will be allowed as Netflix can think your travelling but if they see it on TVs in countries other than your signup it's a contender for cancellation.

    The only reason I didn't cancel Netflix TR subscription was because it was cheap, and it would be difficult to get it back. Now, I will only subscribe when there is something I want to watch, and that isn't often. Too bad for them…
