When Netflix charges you
Netflix bills once a month on the calendar day you signed up. If that day doesn't exist in a given month — you signed up on the 31st, say — you're billed on the last day of that month instead. The charge posts automatically at the start of each new billing cycle; there's no invoice to approve.

Can you change your Netflix billing date?
No — Netflix has no setting to move your billing date. The only reliable workaround is to cancel, let the current period run out, and restart your membership on the day you want to be billed going forward. You keep your profiles and watch history for 10 months after cancelling, so nothing is lost in the gap.

Charged by Netflix unexpectedly?
Check Billing details in your account first — a "surprise" Netflix charge is usually the last-day-of-month shift, a price increase taking effect, or a household member restarting a cancelled plan. If none of those fit and you're sure you cancelled, dispute the charge with your card issuer and re-cancel from the account page.
Never get surprised by a renewal again. Skycopia watches your bank feed and nudges you before each renewal date — including annual fees that land months off your usual cycle.
