      Only if you plan to never do business with them ever again. I did that for a ps4 game on the PlayStation store that didn’t work with no refunds, and Sony locked down my account until I paid them that money. Pretty sure they warned that next time they won’t be so nice. Pretty fucked up.

        Just about everywhere does that. People love throwing around the charge back option on the internet but it often fucked you over. Some companies use 3rd party payment processors so it can not only ban you from the company you charged back but also anything else using that processor.

          @prole

          I use privacy.com, free service, let’s you create a virtual card for each subscription, then pause or cancel a card.

          This way if I cancel Netflix I can also pause the card, if they try and bill be it’d be processed as a failed transaction.

          Free teir only let’s you make 6 cards / month but after a couple months you should be able to get everything moved over.

          (Also cards are locked to the vendor so if the card gets compromised it can’t be used anywhere else)

          Only time I ever did a chargeback like that was from a health app with virtual doctor visit. App was so bad that I wasn’t able to communicate with the person due to crashes every time you type a letter and attachments crashing that they left the call. Took like 4 months but my bank sided with me. Fortunately if they ban me from that app I don’t think much is lost lol

          Yeah doing a charge back is a last resort and should only be used when you’ve actually been screwed over and you don’t mind the account/service that you’re doing the charge back against being permanently banned.

        It’s not fucked up at all. Doing a charge back for what you did is basically stealing. You kept the game and got your money back.

          If it didn’t work and there were no refunds, then what the hell else do you do? There was stealing, but it wasn’t this guy.

      Would almost definitely be rejected.

      “You” cancelled your subscription. “You” renewed it. Netflix gladly charged you

      It doesn’t matter that “you” in this case is the owner of the CC and their mother. “You” purchased a month of netflix and got it.

      And on the off chance your credit card company DID just give you the money back and penalize netflix without asking any questions? Then this becomes fraud and netflix have good lawyers AND would love to put the fear of god into account sharers.

            Okay then, I was just wondering if this was the right time to point out that the home addresses of Netflix board members are publicly available information.
