I literally don't know what you're talking about with "transferring zip codes." But I was talking about your financial institution blocking the payment, not Hulu/NetFlix/whatever.
They should reject the transaction as soon as it comes in.
- bryanlarsen 11y agoFor example, the "zip code" for a Canadian Postal Code of K8Q 5T6 is 856XX, where the last two digits can be anything. So make a valid address for zip 85601, enter it into Hulu as the address for your Canadian credit card, and both Hulu and the bank will accept it as valid. (Or at least some banks will, the first card I tried didn't work. The second one did).
- Symbiote 11y agoThe first six digits of your credit card identify the issuing country, which is what sites that care about blocking foreign customers use. You can look one up here: https://www.bindb.com/bin-database.html https://www.bindb.com/bin-database.html Or see a list here: https://web.archive.org/web/20130827121726/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bank_Identification_Numbers https://web.archive.org/web/20130827121726/http://en.wikiped...
