How do I pay for a Netflix Subscription?

Netflix works just like all your other purchases from iTunes Store. All purchases and subscriptions go thru Apple and whatever payment method you set up in your account. With subscriptions it's best to set up credit card, so your payments are deducted automatically, without you having to watch your balance.

There are 2 options.

You can either subscribe through the app which will result in payment being taken by your iTunes account or directly with Netflix (via a web browser on a computer or mobile device) where payment will be made directly to them. If you subscribe directly, you'll need to get a code and enter it into the app.

So, to confirm: if I have two subscription--netflix and hbo--and pay with a cc, those subscription will NOT be applied to my gift card balance (I don't want it to).
