I cancelled Netflix last month and had only kept it that long for family members.

After cancelling, I got a welcome back email because they’re apparently happy to let anyone logged in reactivate the subscription…

So I contacted them again to cancel, get a refund and ask what happened.

Then I decided I wanted to remove my card details from the account, but apparently you can only do that by contacting support…

So they think it’s okay to let anyone restart the subscription from a TV without entering a password, but they’ll make you contact support to remove card details…

Probably a good reason why you shouldn't share your sub but netflix should have an easier setting to disable it so it is on them.

I mean, the sub is designed to be shared within a household, that’s why they have profiles…

The problem is Netflix letting a sub profile reactivate the subscription without providing a password.
