If you can't redeem a Netflix gift card, try the following steps for the error message or issue you are experiencing.
If you see a message that the code you entered has already been used, it typically indicates that the card has already been redeemed on an account. Check your Billing Details to see if the gift card balance was applied. If you do not see the gift card balance on your account, please contact us.
If you see a message that your code is invalid, it typically indicates there was an issue with the code you entered. Double-check the code and try entering it again.
If you entered the code correctly but still see this message, it could mean that your card has not been activated yet by the merchant. Please wait 24 hours before trying to redeem your gift card again. If you continue to see this error, please contact us.

If you see a message that the code you entered cannot be used with your account, it typically indicates that you are trying to redeem a gift card on an account that is billed through Apple, or linked to a Netflix-included package.
If you currently 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 your account is linked to a Netflix-included package, you can save the gift card and use it when your account is no longer linked to a package, or you can redeem it on a different Netflix account.
