Like all other online streaming platforms, Netflix requires you to enter your credit card to get access to TV shows, movies, and documentaries.
When you create an account on Netflix, you are asked to provide your payment information and choose a payment method with a debit card, credit card, Netflix gift card, or PayPal.
The payment is automatically made and money is taken from your account each month on the day when you registered.
But, when people want to change their credit card, many come across a challenge and have been asking ‘Why can’t I remove my payment info on Netflix?’.
So, if you too have been trying to remove your credit card from your Netflix account, but you are confused about why there’s no option for that, keep on reading below.
Why can’t I remove my payment info on Netflix?
The reason why you can’t remove payment information Netflix states that “if you only have one payment method added on your account, you will be unable to remove it until after you add a new payment method” on their Help Center page.
Additionally, if you are being billed through a third-party service, you must update your payment information through that service. Netflix also adds that some third-party payment methods cannot be removed from accounts, as well as billing information can’t be removed if you are paying through a partner or with a gift card.
