I am having a nightmare with getting my Netflix activated. I'm an ultimate volt customer and when the offer was lauched I chatted on Whatsapp with VM to add Netflix to my account. This involved taking out a new contract which has been emailed to me.
I was told I would receive a email with a link to activate Netflix within 24. This didn't arrive. I chatted again via WhatsApp and was this time told I would receive an email within 48 hours. Again this didn't arrive.
In the meantime I had a Netflix tab appear on my virgin media account on the website, with an activation button to click. When I click on this I get an error message saying try again later or try via set top box.
I have had three phone calls to VM help. One said this is a problem that is affecting some customers but offered no solution.
One told me to set up netflix and take a subscription to pay via Virgin Media bill. He said that no money would be taken as I have it included in my package. I did this, and then received an email from Netflix cancelling my membership as the "account could not be billed through virgin media."
I have had another phone call with VM help. They had me clear my cache and cookies. Disconnect my modem from my TV. Try from my phone, a laptop and via the V360 box.
I still cannot get access to Netflix. Has anybody else had this problem and is there a solution. I'm sick of spending hours on the phone, repeating myself, and still getting nowhere.

Can any mods get in contact regarding a £10.99 credit for me? Other people seemed to have managed this...
Still waiting for the Netflix activation

Hi Denson1508,
Thanks for using the Community Forums to get your Netflix looked into, I am sorry if this has been causing some frustration 😥 I would be more than happy to look into this for you!
I've seen your other post in which you state you signed up for a Netflix subscription via ourselves but you've not received the activation email, is that right?
Thanks,

Hi Megan,
Thank you for getting back to me. That is correct I changed my package to include Netflix 03/06 and haven't received the activation email. I've raised this three times but feel like I've been fobbed off each time. It makes sense to credit my bill £10.99 until it is resolved as I already pay for Netflix separately. I can't believe I even have to ask this to be honest. It would be a given for other companies and usually further compensation for time wasted.
