Mega bundle including netflix. Do I cancel my existing Netflix account?

Just signed up for new mega tv bundle which includes Netflix standard with ads. Activation email received. - v efficient. I already have Netflix standard without ads. for which I pay separately.  I use the same email address for both Netflix and Virgin.
Question: do I wait for the activation link to work before I cancel my existing account with Netflix? (Next payment to Netflix due in 10 days). And how do I upgrade my Virgin Netflix to ad-free and pay the difference?

 

  • Hi Donendusted, 

    Thanks for taking the time to contact us via the Community. It's lovely having you on board with us in the Forums.

    If you've activated Netflix under the same email address, the account will stay active and the payment will just be paid by Virgin Media instead of being taken from your card. 

    In terms of upgrading, you can do this via your Netflix account or through My Virgin Media. Once upgraded, the additional will be charged to your Virgin Media account each month. 

    Let us know if you have any further issues. 

    Thanks,

      Hi Kath. Thanks for replying.
      Virgin are including standard with ads as part of my bundle. I currently have standard without ads. 
      if I activate the link, will my current ad free account come over to Virgin and I will simply pay the £6 difference through my virgin media bill?

        Thank you Donendusted  for popping back to us, to confirm if you accepted the new deal then your Netflix account would switch over to a Netflix with Ads profile per the contract

      Hi there, I can’t seem to be able to sign into Netflix, it doesn’t recognise my email and password, I don’t appear to have ever received any activation code, I have gone in via the Netflix app and tried signing in and joining but neither work. Not sure what to do next.
