Can you get a refund when you cancel Netflix?
No. Netflix does not offer refunds for partial billing months. When you cancel, your subscription remains active until the end of the current billing cycle, after which billing stops automatically. If you were charged in error or believe the charge is unauthorized, contact Netflix support directly.
