Hi everyone. I'm sure you all know that Netflix has come to Pakistan for some time now. My question is, has anyone used any of the debit cards (online activated) and see them work? If yes, how did Netflix charge you for the monthly cycle?

Thanks

As you know first month is Free. But they charge you for 1 month and give you 2 month subscription. Charges are monthly deducted. Used MCB CC.

I see. So it worked with MCB. Is it always online activated? I mean, what if Netflix wishes to deduct the monthly funds but can't due to the card not being activated?

Mine is always activated. But if its not, then Netflix will notify you by e mail and stop providing services.

Okay. Would you have an idea as to whether a HBL debit card would work? Their policy is to first call and get activated.

MCB's debit card does not work online. You can't even activate it to work online.. I tried netflix with MCB Lite. Worked absolutely smoothly. Although they claim the first month is free, when you register, 1 month's charge will be deducted. But this will then work for 2 months... meaning first month IS indeed free. But if you choose to unsubscribe in the first month, you will be returned all the money... No charges whatsoever.

I think I was charged very little above the dollar conversion rate.. I think it was 20 or 30 rs.

I will warn you about one thing: Don't subscribe. Netflix is absolutely useless in Pakistan. Very old movies, no latest movies whatsoever. The only 2 TV shows that seemed latest were Narcos and Making of a Murderer.. If you are so curious, do try it. But if you find it useless, like I did, unsubscribe from it within the first month so that you may not be charged for anything..

Yes, I am aware of Netflix's limited catalog here which is why I was going to also use a VPN + DNS alteration. I was just consulting for an appropriate debit card that could work. Thank you for your insight though.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
