    •  30 November 2025 (1 day before renewal): Netflix will send you a reminder if no payment method has been added.


    •    1 December 2025 (renewal day):

          o    If a new method of payment was added, your subscription continues without interruption. 
          o    If no new method of payment has been added, your account will be placed on hold until the end of your billing period (2 June).

    
    •    1 January 2026 (after hold period): If a new method of payment has not been added, your Netflix account will be cancelled.
