I subscribed to Netflix but I did not make use of it and then the next month they took money from my account. I want to close the account but I have forgotten my password, how do I go about it?
Hello Esther,
Thank you for your comment.
If you’re subscribed to Netflix, you will get automatically charged monthly for the subscription. To cancel the subscription, you really need to access your Netflix account. If you forgot the password, you’ll need to reset it by clicking “Reset Your Password”, follow the prompts after that. If you’re still having issues logging in, please contact Netflix support directly.

I would like to cancel my Netflix. But tomorrow is the last day of the free trial month. It stated the cancellation will be effective on 8th of Feb. Will I be charged for it?
Hello Fawakim,
Thank you for your comment.
You will not be charged if you have successfully cancelled your Netflix on or before your free trial ends. For the cancellation, please refer to the steps above.

how i cancel my itunes Netflix account from an Android phone?
Hi Karina,
Thank you for reaching out to finder.
You would not be able to cancel iTunes Netflix via an android since these are 2 different operating systems. You would need an apple based device to do this or a PC installed with iTunes. Please follow the steps below to complete the process:
Open Settings.
Tap iTunes & App Store.
Tap Apple ID. Enter your Apple ID and password if required.
Tap View Apple ID.
Enter your password (or use Touch ID) to unlock your Account.
Tap Subscriptions.
Tap Netflix.
Set Automatic Renewal to Off.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Reggie
How do I cancel my account? There is no arrow in the top right corner on my iPad.
Hi Kathy,
Thank you for reaching out to finder.
Here is how to cancel Netflix on iTunes on an iPad or iPhone:
Open Settings.
Tap iTunes & App Store.
Tap Apple ID. Enter your Apple ID and password if required.
Tap View Apple ID.
Enter your password (or use Touch ID) to unlock your Account.
Tap Subscriptions.
Tap Netflix.
Set Automatic Renewal to Off.
Your Netflix subscription will run to the end of your subscription cycle (normally a month), then the Netflix app will deny you access to its streaming library and Apple will stop taking the monthly Netflix charge.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Reggie
i have cancelled my netflix subscription on my pc but it is still working on other connected devices. what to do? will i be charged for that?
Hi Jane,
Thanks for your inquiry.
No, you will not be charged even though your Netflix is still working on your other devices. Once you cancelled or unsubscribed from Netflix, you’ll still able to use your Netflix account until the end of your current billing period or free trial.
I hope this clarifies.
Kind regards,
Bella
I am using free month for netflix and didn’t complete login because I don’t have money, paypal, a credit card, or a gift card. It won’t give me the option to cancel account. What do I do?
Hi Amber,
Thank you for contacting finder.
Unfortunately, you will need a Netflix Supported Payment option to completely sign-up as after your free trial if you will not cancel your account, you will be charged for the regular subscription.
If you are having a hard time cancelling your Netflix account by following the above instructions, you may contact Netflix through their Help Center at their website.
I hope this helps.
Please do not hesitate to reach out again if you have additional questions that you will need assistance with.
Cheers,
Ash
