Anybody else hit this bug with Netflix:

You have a perfectly valid Credit Card, you try to re-start your account (or maybe create a new account), and you get a "payment form not valid". Your bank says Netflix isn't even trying to authorize the payment, netflix support says they know there is no issue with your card, the issue is on their side, but they cannot fix it, the only proposed solution is to buy a netflix gift card...

This totally puzzles me.

They have a bug that I am sure technical people would jump in and solve in a matters of hours, they have tech support people who understand the issue, but the company has provided no way to connect the two!




Netflix sometimes blacklists cards to prevent people from continuously getting free trials on new accounts, although it seems to be random/based on a list of heuristics that only a handful of employees know.


then this bug may disappear for those in the USA since Netflix doesn't do free trials in the USA anymore.
