Simple question - how do I add my debit card so I can have instant payments? It only provides for the entry of credit cards

I am having the same issue - I am not given the option to pay for Netflix using my bank account (which is linked and verified).  My nephew pays through his bank account so I know it's possible.  My funds are currently transferring so they haven't been deposited yet.  I was hoping that there is a 30 day free trial I wouldn't need to have it in right away but I am hoping that when the funds go in I can use the bank account.

 

If it works once the money goes in I'll let you all know.  My fingers are crossed.

 

PS We most definately have VISA/Debit cards in Canada...

Thanks. I was hoping someone from PayPal was going to reply. I'll be interested in knowing what your results are when you find out.

I have the same issue, I have a verified bank account, but my card will not come in the mail for a few day, as I just opened the bank account. One of the first things I wanted to do was go pay for nextflix again, but it has been a huge hassle. I love netflix,and have had it before, just ran short on funds for a while.

 

I wend out and got a moneypak card and added $20 to my paypal, as well as getting my bank account verified by paypal, but netflix will still not allow me to sign up without a credit card, there is no option to use the money already on my paypal, or to take from my bank account. This has frustrated me for about 2 days now and I think I might just never get nextflix because the system they have in place will not take my money, and therefore does not deserve to have it.

 

 

When you make a payment system that will not let legitimate consumers pay you, then you deserve to have no payments at all.
