How to Change Plan on Netflix
If you’ve decided to change your Netflix plan, here’s how:
1. Go to the Netflix website, sign in, and open your account’s settings.
2. Scroll down to Plan Details and click on Change Plan.
Keep in mind that you can only change your plan if your Netflix account is active. If your account is on hold, you’ll need to remove the hold before making any plan-related changes.
Step 3: Click on the plan desired, then, click Continue.
Step 4: Click Confirm Change.
Changing your current Netflix plan can have an impact on your billing and the timing of plan adjustments. If you downgrade to a lower plan, the change will only take effect at the next billing date. However, if you upgrade to a higher plan, your subscription will be immediately upgraded. Additionally, adjusting your plan may also result in a change to your billing date, as Netflix will bill you once your previous plan’s credit has expired.
