Pay for Netflix with a crypto card

Netflix takes cards, some wallets and gift cards, but not crypto. It also requires the card country to match the country of the Netflix account, and in a few countries it refuses prepaid cards outright. So the honest picture: the card works for Netflix in most places, it does not work in all, and the gift card route is the fallback.

Fund the card with USDT, add it at netflix.com in the account country that matches the billing address, and the plan renews from the card.

What Netflix costs

Plans are priced per country. In the United States at the time of writing the ad supported plan is $7.99, Standard $17.99 and Premium $24.99 a month. Netflix bills in the local currency of the account country; when that is not US dollars, the card converts at the Mastercard rate plus 2.5%.

Adding the card

Sign up or open Account, Manage payment info, and enter the card with the name from your CryptoCardex account and the billing address from sign up. Netflix runs a small temporary authorisation on a new card. Keep the plan price plus a dollar or two on the card for the first charge.

If Netflix refuses the card

If the message appears instantly, Netflix is refusing the card type or the country, not the balance, and retrying does not help. The fallback is a Netflix gift card bought with this card from a retailer in the account country and redeemed at netflix.com/redeem; the subscription then runs on the gift balance with no card at all. If the refusal came at renewal, it is usually balance: top up and Netflix retries within days.

What the card itself costs

The card costs $49.99 once and nothing per month. A top up is 3% plus the network fee. A purchase in a currency other than US dollars costs 2.5% of the amount, every approved purchase over $1 carries a $0.10 service fee, and the issuing bank's fee on a purchase is passed on at cost. All of it is in one table on the pricing page; if a charge is not there, we do not take it.

How to get the card and pay

1. Open the card. Sign up with an email address and pay $49.99 once for the virtual Mastercard. The card number, expiry date and CVV appear in your account about two minutes later. No passport and no selfie.
2. Top it up with crypto. Send USDT or USDC on TRON, BNB Chain, Polygon or Ethereum to the deposit address shown in the account. The top up costs 3% plus the network fee, and the balance is held in US dollars.
3. Pay at the checkout. Enter the card like any other Mastercard: number, expiry, CVV, the name from your account and the billing address it asks for. The merchant sees an ordinary card payment, not crypto.

Questions people ask

Does Netflix accept prepaid cards?

In most countries yes, in some no. Netflix decides by country, and the gift card route works everywhere Netflix sells gift cards.

Can I use a Netflix account from another country?

The card country must match the account country. Keep them the same rather than mixing.

Will the price change if I pay in dollars?

Netflix charges in the account country's currency. A dollar card pays a dollar account at face value; other currencies are converted at the Mastercard rate plus 2.5%.
