How to Change Plan on Netflix

If you’ve made your decision and wish to change your Netflix plan, here’s how to do it. While you can only change your Netflix plan through your web browser, your mobile browser works too.

Note: You can change your plan only if your Netflix account is currently active. So, if your account is on hold, you will need to get the hold removed before making any plan-related changes.

Step 1: Go to the Netflix website, sign in, and open your account’s settings.

Open Netflix Account Settings

Step 2: Scroll down to Plan Details and click on Change Plan.

Step 3: Now, click on the plan you want and then, click on Continue.

Step 4: Here, click on Confirm Change.

This will change your current Netflix plan. Because Netflix works on a prepaid system, if you go for a plan lower than your current one, the change will only come into effect once the next billing date starts. But, if you switch to a plan higher than your current one, your plan will change immediately.

This can change your billing date as Netflix will bill you once the previous plan’s credit expires.
