Netflix, Spotify, YouTube Premium and Disney+ bill subscriptions by card, not in crypto. A virtual Visa card with a US-dollar balance, topped up from your crypto wallet, pays those renewals every month.
Why streaming services need a card
Streaming services take payment by card and do not accept crypto directly. Guarapay issues a virtual prepaid Visa card with a US-dollar balance in about two minutes, and you enter its details on the service payment page.
The service may charge in a local currency, depending on the country of your account. In that case Visa converts the amount to dollars on the purchase date, so the amount taken from your balance can vary slightly from month to month.
Step by step: paying for Netflix with crypto
- Open the Guarapay app or the Telegram mini app @guarapay_bot and create an account.
- Complete identity verification.
- Issue the virtual card: US$ 5, or free if your first top-up is US$ 20 or more.
- Choose the coin and network for the top-up: USDT on TRC-20, ERC-20 or TON, USDC on ERC-20, BTC, ETH or TON; copy the address for exactly that pair.
- Send at least US$ 10 from your wallet; the network fee is paid in your wallet and the top-up fee is 1%.
- Wait for network confirmation and check the credited balance in the app.
- On Netflix or another streaming service, pick a plan, choose card payment, enter the card number, expiry date and security code, and confirm.
How not to miss a renewal
A subscription renews automatically, so the monthly amount must be on the card before the renewal date. If the balance is too low, the charge is declined and the service may pause your access until the payment goes through.
If you pay for several streaming services with one card, add up the monthly amounts and top up with a margin, since the conversion to dollars can change the final amount. The card has no monthly fee and no per-purchase fee, so the whole balance goes to your subscriptions.
Common mistakes
- Sending a coin over a different network than the address was created for; each address is for one coin and one network, and a deposit on the wrong network may be lost.
- Topping up with TON without the personal comment (memo); without the memo the deposit is not matched to your account automatically.
- Sending less than the minimum top-up of US$ 10; an amount below the minimum is not credited.
- Topping up on the renewal day instead of before it; have the balance ready a few days ahead of the charge.
Keeping the card safe
The card is virtual, so there is no plastic to lose; its details live in the app. You can freeze the card in one tap when you do not want new charges, and unfreeze it when you need it again.
If you suspect the card details have been compromised, freeze the card in the app right away and contact support.
