Netflix Account On Hold: How to Fix It
Netflix says your account is on hold or your payment was declined, and you can't watch.
What exactly is happening?
Try these in order
- Update your payment method. Go to the Manage payment method page, then select Update or Change payment method (Netflix Help).
- Refresh after updating. If you still see the error after fixing it, select Back or Refresh on your device (Netflix Help).
- Call your bank. Ask whether funds are available, whether the card allows recurring and online payments, and whether they blocked Netflix's charge for security (Netflix Help).
- Retry the payment. After your bank fixes it, retry the payment on Netflix.com (Netflix Help).
- Try a different way to pay if payment still fails (Netflix Help).
Still stuck? If you pay through a phone company, TV provider, or app store, contact them instead — Netflix can't change billing it doesn't manage.
