Conclusion
As mentioned above, the cancellation of Netflix is quite simple, so there are no real pitfalls to watch out for. You must be aware of the following before canceling the service:
- Cancel at any time- you can continue to watch Netflix until your account ends the current billing period, so you don’t have to wait for your subscription to expire at the last moment. If you know you don’t want to continue with Netflix after the current billing cycle, you can unsubscribe when you want.
- What happens if I want to subscribe again? Netflix keeps the account active for 10 months from the date of cancellation. If you decide to re-subscribe to Netflix within that time, you will find your account as you left it.
- If you cancel your subscription while your account is on hold, your account will be closed immediately and you will not be able to watch any Netflix content.
- Cancellation with promotional balance- your Netflix account will remain active until the balance reaches zero.
