Netflix Gift Cards: Where to Buy Them and How to Redeem Effortlessly

What Is a Netflix Gift Card?

A Netflix gift card allows you to fund your subscription plan or provide one or more months of service to friends and family. It works seamlessly on existing accounts or new ones you create. This is particularly useful in France, where Netflix subscriptions are pricier than in some other regions.

Where to Buy a Netflix Gift Card?

You can purchase Netflix gift cards from trusted retailers, both in physical stores and online.

For online options, these reliable platforms stand out:

  • Startselect: Multiple choices, including custom amounts up to €200;
  • Fnac.com: Two Netflix e-card denominations;
  • Micromania: One straightforward option.

Physical stores like Micromania, Fnac, Carrefour, and Auchan carry them too. View the complete list of authorized resellers on the Netflix website.

Netflix Gift Card Prices

Resellers typically offer two main denominations:

  • €25 gift card: Covers 1.5 to 2 months of streaming, based on your plan;
  • €50 gift card: Funds 3 to 6 months.

Platforms like Startselect offer greater flexibility, with custom amounts up to €200. These cards aren't a way to access Netflix for free.

How to Redeem Your Netflix Gift Card

Redeem using a physical card, receipt, or digital code—three straightforward methods, all starting at netflix.com/redeem.

Physical Card

  • Scratch off the silver film on the back;
  • Go to netflix.com/redeem;
  • Enter the PIN code underneath.

With a Receipt

Visit netflix.com/redeem and enter the PIN from your receipt.

Digital Gift Card

Head to netflix.com/redeem and input the PIN from your email.

What to Do If Your Gift Card Doesn't Work

Here are common issues and proven fixes, drawn from Netflix support guidelines:

  • Code already redeemed: Another account may have used it. Contact Netflix if you're certain it hasn't.
  • Invalid code: Likely a typing error—reach out to Netflix for resolution.
  • Error occurred: Clear your browser cookies or Netflix cache and retry. If that fails, ask the retailer to activate the card.
  • Incompatible payment method: Won't work with iTunes billing or bundled offers. Gift cards have no expiration, so save for a compatible account.
  • Country mismatch: Must match your currency region. European cards (excluding UK) work in France, but not those from the US.
