  • Question
    Can I get a free 30-day trial of Netflix if I'm restarting my membership?
    Community Answer
    Unfortunately, no. Netflix will automatically continue your membership and charge the membership fee to your payment method on a monthly basis until you cancel.
  • Question
    I haven't paid my Netflix bill in a while. How much do I need to pay to get it started back up again?
    Community Answer
    There is no Netflix bill. If you haven't paid for Netflix in a while, then you simply haven't had Netflix for that period, and you don't owe anything. You only get each month of Netflix when you prepay for it. When you stop paying, the service simply stops - it isn't like a cable contract that continues while you miss payments. Whenever you want to resume your Netflix membership, just follow the instructions in the article and pay the normal monthly fee.
  • Question
    If I have signed up to restart my Netflix membership, how long will it take before I can use it?

    As soon as you put in your payment details and payment is approved.
  • Question
    Is there a charge for restarting my Netflix membership?
    Community Answer
    No, restarting the Netflix membership does not apply any additional charges on top of the normal membership fees.
  • Question
    If an account with a free trial has been cancelled and I accidentally sign in, will it automatically restart the membership and take money from the account?
    Community Answer
    If the payment information is still accurate, then yes, but it would be difficult to "accidentally" sign in.
  • Question
    My subscription runs out today. How do I renew it? It will not let me do it in iTunes.
    Community Answer
    iTunes has nothing to do with Netflix. You need to go to netflix.com, sign in, go to your account, and change whatever settings you need to there. However, a Netflix subscription doesn't normally 'run out' unless you canceled it. Once you've signed up, Netflix charges you automatically every month and you continue to have it.
  • Question
    How do I reactivate my Netflix account if someone else made it for me, then deactivated it?
    Community Answer
    If it was activated using someone else's credit card, but you have the username and password for sign in, you could sign in and then update the payment details to your own and it will be reactivated. Then, you could change the password so the person who deactivated it cannot do that again. If it was activated using your credit card and you have the username and password, then you can sign in and re-activate the account, then change the password so the person that deactivated it can't do it again.
  • Question
    When restarting my membership, do I have to put in the payment details I used when my account was active, or can I change them?
    Community Answer
    You will be able to change them.
  • Question
    If I put my credit card details in, can I remove them afterwards?
    Community Answer
    Yes! You can remove a credit card from within the Account settings at any time.
  • Question
    Do I get a refund after a cancelling my 30-day free trial?
    Community Answer
    Netflix does not charge the user for the first 30 days of use, even though they ask you to provide a payment option, so there is no issue of a refund for cancelling a free trial.
  • Question
    If I restart a fully cancelled membership, will my viewing list, history, and profiles for various users still be intact?
