Question: can an American visiting Europe or Mexico log into their American Netflix account and get access to the catalogue of their physical location?

Yes. Netflix content is based on your physical location (determined by your IP address). So when you are traveling, you get access to the content from the country you are visiting (and lose access to the content not available on that country).

Interestingly, Amazon Prime bases everything off your home/credit card address. So while traveling, your content doesn't change.


Just as a correction your Amazon Prime content does change. I tried to watch some stuff on Amazon Prime while I was in Germany and I got the message the content is blocked/not available in this region even though I’ve watched the same things at home.


Note anything I downloaded to watch offline ahead of time was fine
