Question for Netflix folks

[thistlechaser]

In the last two months, I've been getting a foreign transaction fee on my credit card. Only 40 cents, but still. The only thing that get charged on that card are Netflix and one other monthly fee. I contacted the credit card company (Chase), and they told me:

"The merchant location for Netflix.com is registered at Luxembourg."

Huh? Netflix's HQ is in California.

Is anyone else seeing a fee like that? I've had a membership with Netflix for a long time now, and the fee only started showing up last month...

Google isn't telling me much. Anyone have any idea about this? I was worried this was a test of my card (when people steal numbers, they do small charges first to see if someone notices), but it's listed as "foreign transaction fee".

Keep us updated on this, because now I'm really curious <,<;; I'll keep an eye our for suspicious activity in connection with my own Netflix subscription.

Issues solved! I wrote up a post about it, but the short version is that it was some routing problem on their end. My money went on a nice vacation to Europe!
