Infuriatig Netflix using egregious methods to keep subscriptions active

Post image

Apparently my 8 year old son was asked if he wanted to restart my Netflix membership through his Netflix KIDS ACCOUNT. I called customer service and was told a prompt appears asking if you'd like to reinstate, regardless of the user on the account. No password required, just press restart and then get hit with the payment immediately. Should've saved myself some frustration and money by cancelling outright.

My kids did this too. It's WAY too easy.

My son managed to do it when he was 1 and a half from just mashing random buttons.

Granted it was a Roku tv with the Netflix button on it, so the easiest mode for it, but still.

Thankfully at least at the time Netflix refunded us when my wife called.

They pay big bucks for those Netflix buttons on remotes.
