So you want to untie the knot (and by knot, we mean your credit card from Netflix's clutches)
We've all been there. You signed up for Netflix, binged "Stranger Things" in a weekend, and now you're left wondering, "Wait, am I still paying for this?" Fear not, intrepid streamer, for this guide will be your compass on the high seas of un-subscribing.
But first, a word of caution:
Removing your credit card is not the same as cancelling your subscription. Think of it like this: cancelling is like breaking up with Netflix, while removing your card is like, well, taking your ex's name off your Netflix account (awkward, right?).

Okay, now that the dramatics are out of the way, here's the nitty-gritty:
How To Remove Credit Card From Netflix |
Step 1: Channel your inner internet sleuth
Head over to the Netflix website and sign in like a boss. If you haven't dusted off your login details in ages, don't worry, we won't judge (much).

Step 2: The thrilling quest for "Account"
Once you're in, hover over your profile picture in the top right corner. A menu will magically appear (because technology). Click on the glorious word "Account" and brace yourself for adventure.
Step 3: Behold! The land of payment methods
On the Account page, find the section titled "Membership and Billing". Dive deeper by clicking on the equally exciting "Manage payment methods".

Step 4: The final showdown (with your credit card, not Netflix, we promise)
You'll be presented with your current payment method, most likely your credit card, displayed in all its glory (or lack thereof, depending on your bank's design choices). Look for the "Remove" button, gleaming like a beacon of hope. But hold on there, buckaroo! Netflix, in its infinite wisdom, might require you to add another payment method before letting you remove your current one. This is to ensure you don't accidentally plunge yourself into streaming darkness.
Here's the twist:
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.![]()
If you don't want to add another payment method, you can simply cancel your subscription altogether. This will cut the cord (pun intended) and prevent future charges. But remember, you won't be able to access the sweet, sweet content until you, well, re-subscribe (and maybe add a new payment method then).
The choice, as they say, is yours.
So, there you have it! You've successfully navigated the treacherous waters of Netflix's account settings and emerged victorious (or at least, un-billed). Now go forth and stream responsibly, my friend.
