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Sorry this account is no longer active.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 think if the other country person added, paid and gave you the login then maybe (but why would they) but says you need your own login and they would see the IP is in another country eventually, and stuff using a VPN every time you want to watch somethingn(although not that hard and could be worth a go if you know someone in India etc).

    • ahara on 25/02/2024 - 18:31

      Just get that extra person to VPN to your “home” router and you’ll be fine. Or use a VPN from the same country permanently.

    well boys it was fun while it lasted, time to downgrade from 4k to the ad tier plan. Ironically I will pay less now, I suppose now we just look for netflix gift cards on sale?

      You instead invest 30 minutes to get Stremio and Real Debrid up and running.

        Its really a completely different proposition…

      • FeZZa21 on 25/02/2024 - 14:23

        Does it have F1 stream as an option? And are the 4k streams also hdr?

        • scud70 on 25/02/2024 - 16:39

          Depends which torrent you choose regarding 4k n hdr. Dunno what you mean by F1 stream… For a family Stremio is not ideal, no profiles, without real debrid you will have buffering issues every now and then depending on the video size, seeded, bandwidth etc etc… , no chance of my wife and kids figuring out what to do when it randomly logs you out, restarting a playback is inconsistent, possibly need VPN to hide your traffic which is not as easy when majority use TV's to watch… I'm trying it now and it's completely fine for me but I'm in IT and been doing this type of stuff for 25 years, for anyone else ease of Netflix/insert other streaming service is unfortunately incomparable…

          Also keep in mind real debrid is made to be used from home (when multiple watch at the same time) you try and use it out and about with IPs changing and more than one person on it at the same time expect to get a warning.

          I'll give stremio a try and see how bad backslash is.. I expect I'll be hounded to get Netflix back fairly soon hahaha

            • scud70 on 25/02/2024 - 18:25

              @G-rig: Lol yep I'm expecting it … Once I'm over being annoyed at the pricing here in Aus I'll look into Netflix again .. for now I'll sell stremio as something they can watch more than just Netflix on… But it'll only take a couple of bad experiences for that to get thrown out 🤣

              I didn't neg but I'm guessing the comment about not having one streaming service wasn't taken well hehe

    Just a thought but my account is still active in Turkey. I had issues with my 28D at some point in the past so had switched payment to Macquarie debit.

    Not sure if this is why it's still going.

    • ScoMosas on 25/02/2024 - 19:27

      I had Macquarie and gone

  • chickenchipsgravy on 25/02/2024 - 13:34

    india not even accepting new sign on's — first vpn blocked, unable to load web/app — diff vpn loads but tried 20x email variations (gmail/hotmail/yahoo etc), just says "error processing your request" — tried logging in with Turkish account, keeps saying password incorrect (it's not — I can log in without vpn).

    • GerrardLFC on 25/02/2024 - 18:52

      Password incorrect you fix that by logging in from Netflix AU then switch your VPN on to India or Turkey and it works again.

      Two points- it's not much of a hassle (subjective) and secondly, I'd guess the vast majority are financially way ahead even if they lost a whole month's payment.

      What waste of money?

      I saved over $1200 since 2019 buying cheap subs on Netflix. And now if I so chose to, could resub again with Oz. Account isn't cancelled, only the monthly sub is. $8 lost, ultimately saved ~+$1192

  • ianf50 on 25/02/2024 - 15:04

    Managed to resub with a GC from https://www.g2a.com/netflix-gift-card-200-tl-netflix-key-tur….

    But now region locked…

    As good as it was for all these years, I feel like this is a blessing in disguise. The amount I was paying was slowly increasing and the amount I've been watching was slowly decreasing. I mainly used it for the odd movie and kids stuff.

    I should thank netflix, after my charge back goes through of course.

      Despite what the brains trust on here would have you believe this is exactly what most will do. These are the same clowns that have been screaming "HODL" every time someone says they want a new GPU cos they're convinced that Nvidia will come crawling back begging them to buy gpus at a lower price, meanwhile NVIDIA earnings & stock have gone stratospheric.

      • G-rig on 26/02/2024 - 07:49

        CCw Google TV fixes that easily, and you'll have a much better experience :).

        Looking at it now - not because I'm too cheap to pay for NF but as I don't mind a tinker..
        I can't vouch for how secure it is, could be opening yourself up for trouble, however hopefully ok (i've got an adblocker and firewall at the router level).

        The Real-Debrid Account doesn't seem free however. They really need to offer a trial so at least you know it works (to your satisfaction).
        Smallish spend for testing it out for a while though, will see what is recommended.

        • sween64 on 26/02/2024 - 08:30

            So trial the Economic or Speed?

            I've still got Prime (watching more on that lately), Disney (from a fam mem), Stan (but that may go as i swapped NF), YTP, access to Kayo.

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.

    I unsubscribe to Netflix since they started cracking password sharing. In my opinion, I paid for a 4 screen simultaneous connection and I should decide how I will use them. I know this thing will going to happen so when unsubscribe I went full on PLEX only mode aside from my Amazon Prime which I keep as I primarily order stuff from Amazon.

    My Turkey ADOBE subscription has been canned 2 weeks ago for the same reason as Netflix and I'm pretty sure Youtube Premium is going to follow suit.

    • ValouSydney on 25/02/2024 - 20:58

      Useless, I was able to buy a Turkish gift card and reopen my account but it's region locked. You need a VPN to watch it. Otherwise it works but it's a pain to use on most TV.

      Also using a gift card you don't need a phone number,then you set up the secondary payment using a credit card and it automatically switched to it.

      • Hc123 on 25/02/2024 - 21:03

        I’ve rejoined with gift card on vpn, but yes it wants a Turkish mobile number , this is where I’m stuck

        • ValouSydney on 25/02/2024 - 21:04

          You should be set, just close and reopen Netflix? The ask for a number should disappear
