They should be (I have a few pounds of credit on my Netflix account due to Sky taking over the billing part way through the month.)

My thoughts are that maybe you have used a different email for your Sky and Netflix accounts? Or you are part way through a billing month and will make 2 payments this one time?

 

If the accounts are actually linked when you logon to Netflix and go to your plan's management page you should see included on your Sky bill somewhere.

hi @Rosebud2 

 

If you cannot link the 2 then. although it may not be ideal as you may loose profiles & last watched data etc maybe easiest just to cancel the direct subscription

I've escalated this to Sky. You should get a blue&red messaging chat bubble on this page when they pick it up.
