Netflix Activation

Hi Everyone,

I’ve got Netflix free as part of my package but I never received an activation email. I was already a Netflix customer at the time I moved to virgin media.

On Sunday I spoke with Virgin via chat and was promised an activation email would be received within 24hrs! Nothing arrived.

on Monday via chat again promised 24hrs and nothing arrived. 

On chat again Tuesday then told it will take upto 5 days but it’s Friday night now and I have zero faith anything will arrive or change.

i can’t activate via the entertainment services page as that just gives a generic error.

also raised via phone (almost impossible to speak with an actual person) with complaints team but again can’t see anything arriving on a Saturday/Sunday so we won’t be watching Netflix is my guess.

Has anyone got any advice or been through similar. Starting to regret the move away from SKY.

    I left Sky to come to Virgin. All great when selling the package. Netflix is part of the package.. Unable to activate. Go to the relevant web page and not able to activate. Spoke to Virgin customer services - twice now i have been told an activation email is on the way... "wait 48 hrs"... days and days i still wait........ Just appalling!!

    After me speaking to 3 different clerks and no activation code, I raised a complaint yesterday with a fourth clerk, I may have been very lucky but I received a call today from someone dealing with my complaint, they intern spoke to another department whilst I waited on the phone, call took 10-15 mins total but I received my activation code.  So maybe raising an official complaint is the way to go.    Good luck

      Hey Auz4seCoff, thank you for reaching out and we are so sorry to hear about your Netflix issue.

      What error are you getting when you try to activate this?

      Also have you got a letter / email stating your complaint has been closed down?

    Hi 

    I am also having this problem. I have been onto Virgin 3 times and had 3 separate conversations about this.

     

    Thanks

    I also have this problem.
    Upgraded my VM package after the offer was advertised and then never heard anything. No activation email, not a peep from support.
    These services become more and more like a scam each year.

    I am having the same problem. I do not have a netflix banner on my virgin media. 

    I have contacted virgin media twice about this and have been told I will receive an email with an activation link within 72 hrs (3 weeks ago) and subsequently a call from the Netflix activation team within 48 hrs (4 days ago).
