In many countries, Netflix doesn't offer a free trial. That means that you need to pay monthly in order to watch the streaming service's movies and TV shows.
If you're an existing member and need to change how you pay for Netflix, you've come to the right place. We're going to tell you what payment methods you can use and how to adjust an existing method.
How Does Netflix Billing Work?
Netflix will automatically bill you every month unless you cancel your Netflix subscription. This charge will come out on the date that you signed up and may take several days to appear on your bank account statement.
If your billing date is one that doesn't occur in every month (e.g. the 31st), you will be billed on the last day of the month.
If you pay for Netflix through a third party, your Netflix billing date might differ from that of the third-party service.
