I dont use credit cards.
Netflics monthly fee is about $8.00 Cdn.
While netflicks allows PayPal use, when completing the entry I get a message of "you MUST have a credit card registered to continue"
How do I work around this as I do not use credit cards online, to me thats what pay pals all about.
help?

Hey Martin. Yeah it's one of the most puzzling situations I have encountered as well which has led to the reason why I'm not a subscriber to Netflix, because I don't own a legit credit card, but I do use prepaid credit cards that wouldn't be able to pay the monthly bill having a fixed amount of funds on it. I would really like to know why a Paypal account can't be used to cover the monthly commissions. I mean, even if a Paypal account does run into insufficient funds, Netflix could just cut services until they acquire a payment. I think it's just more of Netflix's policy than it's Paypal's fault. What you can try doing though, is signing up for a BMO Prepaid Travel Mastercard from Bank of Montreal. It's a prepaid credit card that you can reload, use online, at retailers, at ATMs to withdraw cash from it and the card lasts up to three years. It gives you the benefit like a real credit card would and you pay no interest. You don't even need to be with the bank to apply for one. I recently heard about it the other day and I'm planning to use it for my online and Xbox live needs. Apply for one at http://bmo.com. Just click on "credit cards" on the site and then search for the card and apply. Hope I helped. Take it easy.
