Last week, my Hulu subscription ended, so it was time for me to start a new subscription with another streaming video service. So I tried to start a Netflix subscription, but the system kept refusing to accept payment from me. I tried both my credit card and Paypal, but I was unable to subscribe, and the error message didn’t say what was wrong with my attempt to pay. I called customer service but was unable to get this matter resolved, even with a new email address, clearing my browser cache, trying a different browser, and trying the incognito mode on my browser.
I had the same problem last month, which led me to give up and subscribe to Hulu. I gave up again this month and went with Paramount Plus. I had no problems with either service. They accepted my credit card the FIRST time. I didn’t have to clear my browser cache, try a different browser, try the incognito mode in my browser, or get the planets properly aligned.
I wonder how many other people have had the same problem I’ve had. I can’t believe that Netflix hasn’t resolved it. They need me more than I need them, because I have alternatives. Paramount Plus gives me access to lots of great TV shows, such as The Love Boat iCarly (which is back with new episodes), and Double Dare.
