Do not share a gift card serial number or gift card code with anyone except the intended recipient.

Unless you have another payment method on file, you can watch Netflix until the entire amount on the gift card is used. We'll remind you when the balance is getting low.

  • If you want to keep watching Netflix, simply add another gift card or payment method before your balance runs out.

  • If you change plans, it will change the rate at which the available balance is used.

  • If you cancel your account, you can keep watching Netflix until your gift card balance runs out. Gift cards are non-refundable.


Once you've redeemed your gift card, you can check your available balance on the Billing Details or Membership page.

This date is estimated because the amount taken from your gift balance each month can change if you switch plans or if local taxes or fees change. The date shown on your Account page will update based on current information.

You can apply a gift card to your account if you pay through a third party, except if you pay through Apple or if you have a Netflix-included package.

  • If you pay through Apple and want to use a Netflix gift card, you will need to cancel your Netflix account, wait until it closes, then restart it with your gift card.

  • If you have a Netflix-included package or package add-on, you can save the gift card and use it when your account is no longer linked to a package. You can also apply it to a different Netflix account.

Follow the steps to redeem a Netflix gift card.

If the gift card amount does not cover the cost for a full month of your current plan, we will prorate the account for the number of days it covers.

Once you redeem the gift card, it can take up to 60 minutes for the hold to be removed.
