Here’s some good news for TV binge-watchers. Netflix is now offering prepaid gift cards through 7-Eleven stores nationwide. This means you no longer need a credit or debit card to buy a subscription for yourself or as a gift to someone.
Gift cards are not uncommon at 7-Eleven. You’ll find iflix, Spotify, Playstation Network (PSN) and JOOX gift cards being offered, much like its overseas counterparts.
The Netflix gift cards are available in MYR50 and MYR100 denominations. Once purchased, all you need to do is head over to Netflix.com/redeem. Then, either set up a new account or credit it into an existing account.
