How to Pay for Netflix Without a Credit Card
If you don't have a credit card or any other online payment method, don't worry! You can still pay for Netflix using Netflix gift cards. In this step-by-step guide, we will clear all the confusion and show you how to use Netflix gift cards to enjoy your favorite movies and TV shows.
Step 1 – Purchasing a Netflix Gift Card
Netflix gift cards are available for purchase at various offline and online stores. However, please note that Netflix doesn't sell gift cards in every country. To check if Netflix gift cards are available in your country and where you can buy them, visit the Netflix gift card help center and select your country from the drop-down menu.
If Netflix doesn't sell gift cards in your country, don't worry! You can still purchase a Netflix gift card from a different supported country as long as the gift card is in the same currency as your Netflix bill. For example, if you're in India and Netflix doesn't offer gift cards there, you can buy a gift card from the US or another supported country.
Once you have purchased the gift card, you will receive it by email. If you have a physical card, you can find the gift card code by scratching the foil off the back of the card gently with a coin. Remember to keep the code ready for the next step.
Step 2 – Redeeming a Netflix Gift Card
To redeem the gift card and add its value to your Netflix account, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your Netflix account.
- Go to netflix.com/redeem.
- Enter the gift card code you received or found.
- Click the Redeem button.
A confirmation screen will appear, and the gift card balance will be added to your account. Your next payment will be deducted from the remaining balance. To check how much gift balance is left and when it will expire, log in to Netflix and go to your account settings.
That's it! You can now enjoy streaming movies and TV shows on Netflix without using a credit card.
