• Question

  Can I use a gift card without being a subscriber?

  

  Community Answer

  In order to redeem your gift card, you'll need to have a Netflix account. You can use your gift card to setup an account without using a credit card. Your subscription fees will be deducted from your gift card balance.

  Where can I buy a gift subscription?

  

  Community Answer

  Netflix has replaced gift subscriptions with gift cards. You can find these gift cards at any retailer that carries major gift cards, such as most chain grocery stores. You can also find them at stores like Best Buy or Fry's, or order them on Amazon.

• Question

  Does the gift card allow you to extend your subscription?

  

  Community Answer

  Yes, the balance of the card will be applied to your account, and all subscriptions will be deducted from that balance first before your card is charged again.
