Netflix once offered a convenient feature allowing users to change their billing date at any time. However, this functionality is no longer available. Rest assured, while changing your Netflix billing date directly isn’t an option anymore, you can still do it by canceling your subscription and then restarting on your desired billing date. In addition, if you upgrade your Netflix plan, your billing date will also be changed.
So, if you’re looking to adjust your Netflix payment date to align with your payday or better manage your cash flow for improved budgeting and financial planning, here’s a guide on how to change your Netflix billing date. Let’s begin by exploring how to find your Netflix billing date on both web browsers and mobile devices.
To save yourself the effort of sifting through piles of electronic or paper bills to find your Netflix billing date, here’s a guide on how to easily locate your billing day from the Netflix Account Settings on your computer, phone, or tablet.
If you are using a Mac or Windows PC, you will need to use a web browser to find the billing date of your Netflix subscription.
You can use the Netflix app on your iOS or Android device to find your billing date.
Since Netflix no longer offers the option to change your billing date directly within account settings, the only way to adjust your payment date is to cancel your Netflix subscription and resubscribe on the desired billing date. Follow the steps below to make this change.
You can cancel your Netflix account from either your computer or your mobile device.
To cancel your Netflix subscription on a Mac or Windows computer, you’ll need to use a web browser, as there is no “cancel membership” option available within the Netflix app on Windows. Additionally, Netflix doesn’t currently have a Mac app. Here are the steps to cancel your subscription through a web browser.
1. Sign in to your account at netflix.com. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select “Account.”
2. Click the “Manage Membership” button under Membership Details.
3. Scroll down to the bottom and select “Cancel Membership.”
4. Click “Finish Cancellation.”
To cancel your Netflix subscription on your iPad, iPhone, and Android phone or tablet, follow the guide below:
After canceling your Netflix account, you can continue watching until the end of your current billing period. Then you can restart your account on the date you want to be billed.
After cancellation, Netflix keeps your Viewing Activity for 10 months, allowing you to resume within that period without needing to register again.
Please note: Before restarting your Netflix account, make sure that your original billing period has ended. Then, restart your account on your preferred billing date. Otherwise, your billing date remains unchanged.
To restart your Netflix account, sign in to Netflix.com and select “Restart Your Membership” from any profile (except a Kids profile). You’ll be asked to restart your membership once you sign in to Netflix. Your billing date will change to the date you restart Netflix.
Another option to change your Netflix billing date is to upgrade your plan. For instance, you could change your Netflix plan from Standard with ads to Standard, or from Standard to Premium. When upgrading, you can enjoy the new plan’s features immediately.
If your billing is through Netflix, upgrading your plan will adjust your billing date according to the remaining balance of your last payment.
If your Netflix billing is through Apple, your billing date will change to the date you upgrade. However, you’ll be charged the full amount of the new plan immediately, and a prorated refund for any unused portion of your previous plan will be issued.
Please note that if you switch to a lower-priced Netflix plan, you can still enjoy all the benefits of your current plan until the next billing cycle, with no change to your billing date.
