You’re correct — Netflix no longer offers eGift cards where you can freely enter a custom amount. Instead, current options are limited to fixed denominations or ranges set by retailers.

🔑 Key Points on Netflix Gift Cards
- No reloads or custom loads: Netflix gift cards cannot be reloaded, and you can’t enter an arbitrary amount when purchasing.  
- Fixed denominations: Retailers like Amazon and eGifter allow you to choose from preset amounts (e.g., $15, $25, $50, $100, $200) or within a defined range (e.g., $15–$200), but you must select a value that fits their increments.  
- Netflix Shop cards are different: Cards sold on the Netflix Shop are only for merchandise purchases, not for streaming subscriptions.  
- Redemption rules: Once redeemed, the entire balance is applied to your Netflix account. The card balance is consumed month by month until it runs out.

📌 Why the Change?
Netflix previously allowed more flexibility with custom-load eGift cards, but now the system is streamlined to fixed ranges. This is likely to simplify accounting, fraud prevention, and retailer integration.  

✅ Current Options
- Amazon.com: Lets you pick a custom value, but only within the $15–$200 range (so not truly “any” amount, but flexible within limits).  
- eGifter: Offers adjustable values between $20–$200.  
- PayPal: Provides Netflix gift cards, but again only in fixed denominations.  

So while you can still “choose” an amount, it’s constrained to a minimum and maximum range rather than being completely open-ended.

HOWEVER

Visiting Amazon.com on without signing-in first seems to retain custom amount entry field.

WHEN

I signed-in after adding the gift card with custom amount into the shipping cart first, I could checkout the gift cards with the customer amount loaded.
