Apparently this is an ongoing problem when attempting to register for an account with Netflix. When reaching the credit card stage, step 3 I believe, being turned away with the notice: "Sorry, but we are unable to complete the sign-up process now. Please try again later." Elsewhere the solution mentions faulty response to the card used or the bank behind that card. In my case I attempted to use cards from two different banks, one here in AU and the other on a US bank... and even offered to pay via PayPal... to no avail. Why? Does Netflix not want my business? Is this something personal? Is there another choice for the same service Netflix offers?
I called to Netflix support team and they give a solution and it worked great, I could move from Paypal to Debit card , I was unable due a message in a Yellow box saying that wasnt possible the sign up procces . On the phone you should say them you want to erase the paypal option from your account , then they will stop your memebership, try you to log off, the solution that technical support gave me was , not the click on the "Log in " option ( Never click on the resume membership , it will head you to the kind of glitch) , instead you must click on the option " Join free for a month " then when the page requiere your mail and pass just put the email and pass that you have been using normally for your netflix account , next step is choose your plan and fill your payment option . I had been talking for almost an hour with technical support and finally the gave me a solution . Hope it works for you .
I was stuck at the payment (step 3) option too. I managed to go back to the Netflix home page and view my account settings since I was partially set up. I was hoping to input my credit card there. When I filled in my phone number, Netflix said it had texted me a confirmation code and to enter it. It's been 2+ hours and I have not received any text. I also tried the option of having Netflix call me with the code to activate my account. I got a message saying it had called, yet no calls came to my phone and it has been 2+ hours.
I stayed on the phone with my credit card company while entering my payment information. They keep telling me no transaction is coming thru on their end, even when they check the declined transactions. It' s just not appearing.
I logged out of Netflix on all devices (computers, firestick, tv, etc.) and then waited 3 MONTHS. Then I tried again and my credit card payment went through. Mind you I had also done this at least once in the past and it had not gone through then. I can only guess that they let a % of new credit card subscriptions in a month and then try to make everyone else buy their Netflix gift card by saying their credit card transactions won't go through. If weren't for specific shows that are only on Netflix, I would refuse to do business with them. I am still dissatisfied what I went through to sign up. It does feel dishonest, and I am weary about what's going to happen when I have to update my credit card for payment.
I too had the same issue when I try to set up the Netflix account with my yahoo email address. When I happened to select the payment method it kept on givining the above error message in a yellow box for both visa and paypal options.
This post is going to be\u2026 different than my other ones, so before I get into it I just want to state for the record: the following post details my personal experience while working on Haters Back Off and more broadly, my opinions on working in less-than-ideal creative workplace environments over the years. While I cannot speak to the specific allegations against Colleen Ballinger - I stand with every single one of the children and young adults who have bravely shared their experiences in the past few weeks. In the face of attacks from online gaslighters and bizarre, callous, ukulele-soundtracked response videos, they deserve to be supported, heard, and believed. For more background on the allegations, I recommend Becky\u2019s TikTok, Adam\u2019s YouTube page, Paige Christie\u2019s overview video, this article from NBC News, this one from HuffPost, and this one from Rolling Stone.
Being the Writers\u2019 Assistant/Showrunner\u2019s Assistant/Writers\u2019 PA on Haters Back Off (you heard that right! Three job titles and still, every month that I made rent was an absolute miracle!) was my first real job in Hollywood. A fresh-faced recent college graduate, I had been warned that your first job in a writers\u2019 room can be grueling. It\u2019s customary to spend years paying your dues - working long hours, fetching countless Happy Vegan salads and skinny Vanilla lattes for the higher-ups, the usual fare. And I was prepared for that. Excited, even. What I wasn\u2019t prepared for, however, was the unique set of circumstances that I was walking into.
Despite my legacy of being Extremely Online\u2122\uFE0F, I was not that familiar with Miranda Sings, the character at the center of the show. I remember the night before my first day on the job, I clicked on her YouTube channel and watched video after video in pure confusion. Isn\u2019t this supposed to be for kids? She was dressed like Bozo the Clown but she kept making odd jokes about being, well, molested, and in one clip, I saw her on stage, encouraging what appeared to be a small child to literally reach into her pants and rummage around a bit. I texted my friends, hoping one of them could explain her appeal to me because clearly I was missing something. The show was going into pre-production at the peak of her fame and this woman was huge. She had a New York Times Bestselling book, Jerry Seinfeld\u2019s stamp of approval, and millions of fans (mostly middle school-aged) who hung on her every word. I didn\u2019t get the comedy but I chalked it up to a matter of taste, packed up my Studio-rented laptop and my brass script brads and headed in for my first day of work.
This was 2016, only a few months after a fellow April (Reign, that is) launched the #OscarsSoWhite campaign, so it goes without saying that I was the only Black person in this office. And as uncomfortable as that made me feel, as a POM (Person of Midwestern Experience), I knew how to make nice in a white space. Upon meeting Colleen, my first impression of her was that she was boisterous, opinionated, and had a stunning lack of humility that was unlike anything I had ever seen. Immediately upon entering the writers\u2019 room, I was treated to story after story about her sold out shows, how obsessed her fans were with her and the lengths they would go to get her attention. On the second day, she hauled in a small portion of her collection of art made by her beloved Mirfandas. This included several paper mache Miranda heads (seen above), homemade figurines, stacks upon stacks of fan mail, and drawings of something called \u201CThe Daddy Saddle.\u201D
The Daddy Saddle, I would come to learn, is an item featured in many of Miranda Sings\u2019 videos, and it\u2019s used to allow Miranda to more easily ride around on her Uncle\u2019s back. The Uncle character was something that Colleen took great pride in. She had spent years building him into the essential Miranda Sings lore and once we began to break stories for the show, it became clear that he was going to be an integral part of it. Miranda and Uncle Jim had a, in the character\u2019s words, \u201Cspecial relationship.\u201D She often pitched stories in which Miranda and Uncle Jim would be caught in compromising positions or stomach-churning moments of intimacy that could always be easily explained away by a clueless Miranda. It was my responsibility to write down every single one of these pitches, schedule calls to look at mockups of The Daddy Saddle that would be featured on the show, and mark points in the script where Colleen thought we could make Uncle Jim even more \u201Cr***y.\u201D
As you can imagine, this all made me so, so uncomfortable. Here I was, the odd one out in every conceivable away, tasked to aid Colleen as she pursued her singular goal of shoving as much incestual innuendo into the show as possible while assuaging the growing behind-the-scenes concerns that the show would be alienating to the intended audience (which was, again, kids.) It all felt deeply wrong - she would show us photos of the packed rows of smiling children who had attended her show the night before, and in the same breath, spend hours trying to think of a way to show Miranda and Uncle Jim all but having actual sex on screen. I felt insane. This was my first job, a coveted Writers\u2019 Assistant position, and I was terrified to be seen as anything less than enthusiastic to be there. Colleen made accomplishing that a Herculean feat.
Not only was I behind the keyboard, typing in \u201Cjokes\u201D into the script that to a vulnerable child, could easily make it nearly impossible to identify inappropriate adult behavior in their own lives, but as we neared production, I had a whole new wave of concerns. Another one of my responsibilities was to sit in on production meetings (all virtual, as the writers\u2019 room was in LA and filming was to take place in Vancouver), and take notes. It was in those meetings that I had to document Colleen\u2019s insistence that we used limited POC background actors as the show took place in Washington and having them just randomly there would be \u201Cdistracting.\u201D I took note as Colleen was shown an Asian food market that would be re-dressed as a bodega for the show and watched her disgust as she demanded assurance that all the \u201CAsian shit\u201D would be removed before filming. I sat patiently as the Powers That Be expressed concern that the entire main cast for the show was white and silently prayed that since someone with some actual say had spoken up, things might change. And I took note, yet again, as Colleen assured them that they had only casted the best person for each role and that it wasn\u2019t her fault that all of those people ended up being white.
