      Why Can’t You Use Your Netflix Gift Card<\/b><\/h2>\n

      If you can\u2019t use your Netflix gift card because you are getting some of the following error messages or issues, don\u2019t be scared, it is very easy to sort it out so you can binge watch your favorite Netflix movies.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The code you entered has already been used<\/b><\/h3>\n

      Seeing this message usually means that the card you are trying to use has already been redeemed on another user\u2019s account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      You can check your <\/span>payment history or membership<\/b><\/a> page to see if the gift card balance has already been applied to your account.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The code entered is not valid<\/b><\/h3>\n

      If you get a prompt that the code you entered is invalid, there might be an issue with the code you entered. Carefully check the code and try entering it again.<\/span><\/p>\n

      If you do this correctly and still get this message, it could mean that your card has not been activated yet by the <\/span>vendor you purchased the gift card<\/b> <\/a>from, at which point you have to wait 24 hours before trying to redeem your gift card again.<\/span><\/p>\n

      An error occurred during gift redemption – please try again later OR Sorry, we are unable to process your request<\/b><\/h3>\n

      This can be fixed in two steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Go to<\/span> netflix.com\/clearcookies<\/b><\/a> to clear the Netflix cookie. This will sign you out of your account, so you have to sign in again.<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Go to<\/span> netflix.com\/redeem<\/b><\/a> and try to redeem your gift card again.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        If you still get the same message, it most likely means that your gift card hasn\u2019t been activated yet by the <\/span>vendor you purchased the gift card<\/b> from. Again, you would have to wait 24 hours before trying to redeem your gift card again.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Sorry, gift cards and promo codes cannot be used with your current payment method<\/b><\/h3>\n

        This message usually occurs if you are trying to redeem a gift card on an account that is billed through Apple, or linked to a Netflix-included package. You can fix this by doing the following:<\/span><\/p>\n
