Just want to share my horrible experience of using Netflix giftcards
DO NOT buy Netflix Gift Card!! It's not the same as regular payment!<br /><br />I have been a Netflix user for a long time and I would buy gift cards for myself at times since I thought it's the same as credit card payment anyways. However, I did not realize there is one big disappointing surprise of using these gift cards..<br /><br />What happened is that I will be traveling abroad for a few months and was hoping to put my account on hold in the meanwhile and will resume my membership after I come back. However, I was told that the only way to put my account &#34;on hold&#34; is to cancel my membership and reactivate when I come back. However, when I clicked the cancel membership button, I was told that my membership will only be canceled after all of my credit are used up. I still have more than $48 dollars of credit from previous gift card purchase and having my accounting charged for the next 4 months completely defeats the purpose of canceling my account which is to put it on temporarily hold without getting charged.<br /><br />I called the help center and the lady told me there is no way to put my account on hold without getting charged since I have purchased gift cards. I told her it makes no sense as it seems I am being &#34;punished&#34; for pre-depositing money at Netflix by using giftcards, which she agreed! she then said she'll talk to her team to see if they can help. To my big surprise, after being put on hold for 10+ minutes, instead of helping with a solution, she came back reading a bunch of terms and agreements that I &#34;agreed&#34; when I sign up, essentially saying &#34;this is what you agreed to, even though I agree it makes no sense, but we're legally protected&#34;<br /><br />anyways, really frustrating experience. one thing for sure is that I will not being resuming my membership after my credit runs out!<br /><br />Just want to share my horrible experience of using Netflix giftcards. so please be aware.<br /><br />Thanks.
