Paying for Netflix with a prepaid virtual card
Yes. Netflix says it accepts prepaid Visa, Mastercard and American Express cards, as long as they’re enabled for recurring online payments. Virtual cards are accepted only in select markets. You’re charged in the currency of the country you signed up in, so a card in that currency avoids conversion.
Netflix payment rules
Summarised from Netflix’s own help pages on 28 Oct 2026. Rules change, so open the source before you rely on it.
- Payment methods
- Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit and debit cards that are enabled for recurring e-commerce payments. Other methods depend on your country.
- Prepaid cards
-
We accept prepaid cards with the following logos.
Those logos are Visa, Mastercard and American Express. Netflix also says it accepts virtual cards in select markets, and if a virtual card is declined you should choose a different payment method. - Billing currency
- You’re charged in the currency of the country you signed up in until you cancel and rejoin. Netflix bills monthly; there are no yearly plans.
- Card and country
- Pricing, currency and payment methods vary by country. The error “This card is not supported in this territory” means the card isn’t accepted for Netflix there. You may need to enable international transactions.
- Card checks
- Some payment methods trigger a temporary authorisation to verify the card. It isn’t a charge, and your bank may take a few business days to drop it.
