Hi everyone. I'm sure you all know that Netflix has come to Pakistan for some time now. My question is, has anyone used any of the debit cards (online activated) and see them work? If yes, how did Netflix charge you for the monthly cycle?

Thanks

As you know first month is Free. But they charge you for 1 month and give you 2 month subscription. Charges are monthly deducted. Used MCB CC.

I see. So it worked with MCB. Is it always online activated? I mean, what if Netflix wishes to deduct the monthly funds but can't due to the card not being activated?

Mine is always activated. But if its not, then Netflix will notify you by e mail and stop providing services.

Okay. Would you have an idea as to whether a HBL debit card would work? Their policy is to first call and get activated.

MCB's debit card does not work online. You can't even activate it to work online.. I tried netflix with MCB Lite. Worked absolutely smoothly. Although they claim the first month is free, when you register, 1 month's charge will be deducted. But this will then work for 2 months... meaning first month IS indeed free. But if you choose to unsubscribe in the first month, you will be returned all the money... No charges whatsoever.

I think I was charged very little above the dollar conversion rate.. I think it was 20 or 30 rs.

I will warn you about one thing: Don't subscribe. Netflix is absolutely useless in Pakistan. Very old movies, no latest movies whatsoever. The only 2 TV shows that seemed latest were Narcos and Making of a Murderer.. If you are so curious, do try it. But if you find it useless, like I did, unsubscribe from it within the first month so that you may not be charged for anything..

Yes, I am aware of Netflix's limited catalog here which is why I was going to also use a VPN + DNS alteration. I was just consulting for an appropriate debit card that could work. Thank you for your insight though.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
