What About Netflix DVD Plans?

You can use any of the processes outlined in this article to also cancel your Netflix DVD plan. There will be a Cancel Netflix DVD button directly under the Cancel Membership button on the web interface and you will see it listed on your list of iTunes plans if it's active.

What Happens After You Cancel Netflix?

Your subscription will terminate at the end of the next billing cycle. Remember, you can resume your membership at any time, you don't even need to create a new account.

The cancelation process is the same if you are still within the 30-day trial period. If you don't cancel within the period, Netflix will bill you automatically at the end of the month.
